Hello,
I have searched here and on external resources but I can't find answers to my questions. I'm ready to read any references.
I have NextPVR on an Asustor NAS. My m3u playlist has 10 IPTV channels, all playing nicely in NextPVR. I used the import m3u feature and selected "none" for the EPG. For each EPG file, I have 3 formats on hand (compressed XML in gz format, uncompressed XML, and a URL that is automatically updated and can return compressed or uncompressed XML) but I will ultimately use only one, the most appropriate. So far so good.
Here is the problem. Despite various efforts, all my 10 channels read "none" for EPG. (See screenshot). So the PVR part doesn't work. This is what I attempted:
1. Nothing happens when I click on the channel name or "none". I seem to have seen "none" being clickable at one point (maybe I'm dreaming) but I can't figure out again how I got that screen.
2. With one channel selected, when I click on the wrench icon and select "Add XMLTV...", my EPG is added to NextPVR but not associated with any channel. (See screenshot). Clicking on the saved EPG makes no association: nothing is saved. I would expect NextPVR to associate the selected channel with the uploaded EPG.
3. When I click on "Advanced Tools">>Auto Map, nothing seems to happen or get saved.
4. I read on the Emby forums Sub recommending deleting all the channels and importing the m3u playlist afresh with its EPG. (I don't use Emby). This doesn't seem to apply to me as I have one m3u link with 10 channels and 10 EPG files, one per channel.
So here are my questions:
a) How do I associate a specific channel with a specific EPG?
b) Is an EPG required to schedule and record a specific programme? I want to record all news channels at the top of every hour for 30 mins. I can edit raw script, if I know what to do.
c) How do I schedule/record recurring programmes that are not series, e.g. news.
d) Related to the above, my NextPVR folder has two sub-folders: buffer and config. Recordings is missing. Will it be created automatically or do I create it manually?
Sorry for the long post.

I'm using Uidroid on my Hisense Android TV. I find that when I select Uidroid from the list of apps, the first time, nothing happens, and then I wait a couple of seconds and try again, and then it launches fine. I've also noticed that when I leave Uidroid and go back to the main AndroidTV menu, and then open it again, it typically works on the first try (maybe a warm start vs a cold start). I'm seeing this on the latest version and had the same issue with the prior version too. Not a big deal, but is anyone else having this problem?
Hello.
I did not make any changes until I had problems. I go to RECORDINGS, and nothing shows up. Selecting Recent recordings, nothing shows up there as well. I decided to upgrade to the newest 7.x version and that didn't change anything either. I'm on windows 10.
Scheduler shows upcoming programs, but then nothing records. It is also taking a very long time for it to come up, like 60 seconds.

Most of my scheduled recordings are not working. On the Recordings list it says [Failed: Recording interrupted]. I have attached my logs. Please advise. Thx.
Hi
I have been using NextPVR with the Jellyfin plugin to watch Free IPTV in the house and also remotely as I have my Jellyfin Server set up so I can access it away from home. I also share access with my close family.
I am thinking about using Sat - IP rather than the M3U8 lists and XML guides as I think that will offer me far more channels at a much better quality.
Pretty new to all this so trying to get my head round how this would all work.
My backend crashed a couple of nights ago while a show was recording.
My launchdaemon immediately restarted the backend, but the balance of the show failed to record. Subsequent scheduled recordings were fine without any human intervention - only the show then in progress failed to complete.
Log attached. It begins at the restart after the backend crash.
I wonder if it was a timing thing? Maybe the backend wasn't ready to record when it tried to continue the recording immediately after it restarted? If that was the case, I think I could work around it.
I was doing some testing and i noticed that when I have 3 TV's tuned to the same channel lets say a sports broadcast, NextPVR generates 3 seperate files in the temporary storage location for playback. I thought that it detected that if i channel was already tuned, it would just play the same file stream (i hope this correct terminology) to save on system/disk resources. Is this possible?
I maybe remembering this from back in when serverwmc worked with windows 7, but I could be mistaken.
I have been using zap2it for years. Now that it has changed, I was going to use Schedules Direct as I have a sub. I have been unable to add the local channels lineup to NextPVR.
When I go to add lineup and enter zip nothing happens. I had everything setup and working for so long that I am rusty working on this and might be missing something obvious.
I’m a bit of a newbie, so I apologize if this has already been answered elsewhere.
Some of my playback files freeze, and the audio skips back a few seconds. I’ve tried playing the files through different players, and they all behave strangely, which led me to believe that the issue might be with the encoding itself. I noticed that FFmpeg was from 2023, so I updated it to the latest version.
I also wanted to tweak the TranscodeArgs since my hardware is fairly powerful (Core i9, RTX 4090, 128GB RAM), but I don’t think the settings are taking effect.
When I check the log (nrecord.log), the only parameters I see are as follows (i replaced the name of the show):
C:\Program Files\NextPVR\Other\ffmpeg.exe -re -y -i "M:\PLEX\_TV_\SomeTVShow_2025-04-04_22350030.ts" -vf fps=1/10,scale=220:124 -f mjpeg -flush_packets 1 "M:\PLEX\_TV_\SomeTVShow_2025-04-04_22350030.thumbnail"
here are the changes directly from the config.xml that I made -
<TranscodeHLS>
-y -v error -hwaccel cuda -hwaccel_output_format cuda -i [SOURCE] -f mpegts
-c:v h264_nvenc -preset p5 -rc vbr -cq 19 -b:v [BITRATE] -maxrate [BITRATE] -bufsize 2M
-c:a aac -b:a 128k -ar 48000 -ac 2 -s [RESOLUTION] -aspect [ASPECT] -g 60 -sc_threshold 0 [TARGET]
</TranscodeHLS>
