Hi, firstly congratulations on a great piece of software, a wonderful alternative to media center.
My suggestion is only a minor one, but would be fantastic for me here in the uk because we have no free guide data that contains original air dates for series etc.
I noticed your software when you click in the guide on a program loads up thumbnails for shows which i presume must come direct from tvdb etc.
Well i was wondering if you include some code to search for the original air date and display it live even if the guide doesn't contain it.
The reason i ask is because I get guide information that does include often the series and program numbers usually in the description, ie (s1 ep2)
sometimes in the guide an episode title is also referenced at the start of the description with a colon ie bart goes school: in this episode....
I wrote a bat file that scrapes the tvdb after I record and uses this information to pick out the original air date from the tvdb but of course this is after i record and would love to see the info before on your guide system.
So maybe you could look at doing the code to do the same as my bat but as you click on a particular program in the guide?
When one right-clicks on the display during recording playback, the context menu has an item "Aspect Ratio" with four options: Auto, Fill, Remove Letterbox and Pillar Box. When playing back recordings made from a VHS tape player using Hauppauge's HD-PVR2 Composite input, the initial display is shown expanded to full width. I always need to select the Auto Aspect Ratio so that the video is shown correctly by adding the vertical pillar boxes to either side. How can I make the setting permanent? I've found two settings in the HDPVR portion of config.xml: <VideoDefaultAspectRatioSDi>4x3</VideoDefaultAspectRatioSDi>, and <VideoDefaultAspectRatioSDp>16x9</VideoDefaultAspectRatioSDp>. There is also a section labeled <Aspect Ratio>...<\AspectRatio>.
SiliconDust has announced a Premium TV feature($35/month) which brings around 43 cable channels(without DRM) to select SD devices. https://www.silicondust.com/premium-tv/
Suppoorted devices: HDHR5-2US AND HDHR5-4US ; HDHomeRun CONNECT DUO & QUATRO;
HDHR4-2US HDHomeRun CONNECT (4th Gen Grey box rounded front); HDTC-2US-M & HDTC-2US ; HDHomeRun EXTEND ( Metal and Plastic enclosure versions ) .
Recording from IPTV sources can be quite hit and miss. I've had 3 or 4 hour long recordings that are flawless, but I've also often found that I only ended up with the first 15 minutes - presumably because the stream drops out.
Would it be possible to have NPVR re-initialize the stream if no data is received for x seconds?
Perhaps the recording could continue in a second file like it does it there's a recording service restart.
Had to install NPVR on a new PC. Used files and settings I had been using since last November. But Comskip isn't working. Uploading logs and Comskip configuration settings.
I believe this was covered in another thread but I cant find it.
If i purchase an IPTV service that allows multiple devices to stream at the same time, will I lose my multiple connections capability when I put my m3u link into the NextPVR server? Basically having multiple people connecting to the same NextPVR server in the same house hold.
Not sure if I have a problem or not so I'd like to relay some app behavior I've observed.
- Selecting Recent Recordings shows all recordings in NextPVR's What's New screen. As expected.
- Selecting All Recordings show no entries. Not expected.
- Selecting Pending Recordings shows only the current day's schedule. By design?
- Selecting Recurring Recordings shows only entries for the current day. By design?
Is all this normal? I used the Android device(Samsung Galaxy S2 Tab) around 12:45pm on the 17th.
If there are logs involved on the Android device, I do not know how to provide them. Attached are the normal NextPVR logs from the server.
Watching live tv is fine but recordings are not smooth exhibiting a poorer frame rate. I am using the latest version of NextPVR and my front end is Kodi. Can I ask what are the best settings for:
Video Renderer
MPEG2 Video
H.264 Video
HEVC Video
I am new to NexPVR and have it running ok on my main PC. However, I found that many of my timed recordings were not recording. These were set to record from the Guide using Kodi. What I discovered is that the EPG is not being updated. I had assumed that the initial information to set the recording was obtained from EPG and it would then set the date/time regardless of the EPG being updated. However, this does not seem to be the case, so I assume that it checks for the information in the Guide and if the Guide is not updated then it does not record. Is this correct?
I'm in the UK using a TBS6892 satellite card. Could someone please tell me how to sort out the problem of the guide not being updated?
Could someone also tell me, if my PC is in sleep mode, will NextPVR wake my PC to record a programme?
Help, please! I have a Hauppauge 1600 video card that once worked with their software, but I don't have the software anymore. I downloaded NPVR to my Win10 machine and installed. I took the defaults recommended, and scanned for channels, and came up with 63, so I'm thinking that the card is close to ready, but I cannot figure out the next steps. My pc is a HP Pavillion 1268c computer. I only selected ATSC with the Hauppauge WinTV 418 BDA tuner, and EVR as the video renderer, with with audio and music as the recommended defaults, the video decoder for the MPEG2 is Hauppauge WinTV MPEG2 Muxer (mixer?), and the audio decoder MPEG1. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance! I'm wanting to use it in TV viewing mode and as a recorder.
