Hi all.

This problem seems like something others must have come across before but I can't find a single discussion of it here.

I have postprocessing.bat calling a ffmpeg copy but it errors out on a path / filename with spaces. I have the "%1" in quotes but I guess after the %1 is expanded out to the passed path and filename, the quotes are lost, and ffmpeg fails...

Logs attached as well as my postprocessing.bat. I don't even know if the rest of it works, I can't get past passing the input file yet.  haha

There's an example of the failure in nrecord.log at 2025-03-29 12:25:00.184

Thanks for any suggestions!

I have some recent instances of getting multiple recordings of the same event. An example is the 2025 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. 

Attached are the logs. Did I set the scheduler incorrectly? I clicked on the item in the guide and setup a recurring recording to catch all the games airing OTA.

Hello,

I experimented different scanning duration for the DVB/ATSC EPG (found under "Settings > Guide > (cog icon, for DVB/ATSC EPG, on the right-hand side))"). Default value is 60 sec.
I identified a sweet spot at 6 sec.
When set to 5 seconds, the DVB/ATSC EPG doesn't have enough time to download the data. When set to 6 seconds, it successfully downloads it.
This is only my own experience; YMMV.
I could imagine users with many channels, polling the DVB/ATSC signal, for a minute, for each channel... This could take a long time, even if at night it's less problematic.
What about reducing the default value to, maybe, 10 seconds?
Maybe you have good reason to set it to 60 seconds by default (I don't know).

Thank you!

Hi,

In the Scheduler, in the Recurring section, the up and down arrows exist for setting the priority order.

Are these meant to solve tie-breakers or something different? 
If so, what kind of ties?

Thanks,
Andre

I've started experience weird behavior when watching recordings. If I frequently pause/resume, that seems to trigger the issue. Playback will become erratic (audio is ok) and I can no longer pause/exit/stop the playback. If I kill the client (yauiclient in this case), the NPVR tray icon is gray and I cannot use the web browser to get the logs until I reboot.

I was watching this:
D:\nextpvr\KPAX 530 News\KPAX 530 News_20250326_17301800.ts

nrecord.log.1 (the issues started before this time if that helps)
2025-03-26 18:32:34.502 [DEBUG][5] ClientGetActivity() returning:
{
  "level": 4,
  "action": "pause"

}

You can see that the logging just stops at 2025-03-26 18:32:35.705

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need anything else.

Hello,

I'm using version: 7.0.1.241229 with a Docker arm32v7. I am able to reproduce a problem here. If a recording is in progress and if I click the "Update EPG" button in the settings, as soon as the progress hits a channel that is set to a DVB EPG, this aborts the recording. It doesn't seem the XMLTV EPG format causes any problem, from my tests so far. I have attached the log files.

Kind regards.

Hi! I think Zap2it site is gone, so that means I won't be able to use the epg guide on nextpvr. Heres another sife that I found, but I can't seem to use it for nextpvr. https://tvlistings.gracenote.com/grid-af...ml?aid=lat

Hello,

I'm trying my hand at Linux, trying to salvage a perfectly good desktop PC that can't run Windows 11.  I've chosen Linux Mint, and I'd like to run NextPVR on it.  I believe I've followed sub's installation instructions correctly, as follows:

ed@lacrosse:~$ curl https://nextpvr.com/nextpvr-helper.deb -O
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed  Time    Time    Time  Current
                                Dload  Upload  Total  Spent    Left  Speed
100  4464  100  4464    0    0  34696      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 34875

followed by:

ed@lacrosse:~$ sudo apt install ./nextpvr-helper.deb --install-recommends

After issuing the apt install command, the command line window filled up with output which I have not copied here to save space, but I can recreate it if necessary.  Of particular importance, though, it seems, is the last few lines of output:

Setting up libmediainfo-dev (24.01+dfsg-1build2) ...
Setting up nextpvr-helper (3.1) ...
HOME=/home/ed
Processing triggers for man-db (2.12.0-4build2) ...
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.39-0ubuntu8.4) ...
N: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file '/home/ed/nextpvr-helper.deb' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)

I'm basically a Linux idiot, so I have no idea what happened here.  Can anyone tell what I've done wrong, or do I need to send more information?

Edited to add: Well, I decided to go to localhost:8866 and I ended up in the right spot, so I'll try to configure NextPVR there. Meanwhile, I'm still wondering if I did something wrong to end up with the "permission denied" error.

Another edit: I just finished configuring NextPVR using localhost:8866 and all is well. I guess I didn't do anything wrong?

Thanks!

Hello,
Does NextPVR come with a default playlist? If so, how do I get to it and what is its path? If not, what is the recommended path (with path format)?
I have NextPVR installed on an Asustor NAS. I need to import a playlist. Strangely, NextPVR claims the absolute path doesn't exist, although I can see it with ssh and my other apps can get to it.
NextPVR is installed under Docker but the playlist is outside Docker. My idea is simply to copy and paste over the default playlist if it exists. I guess I still have to provide its path.

Hello,

I think we, users, can come together and translate the platform into other languages. It's available in English and German. I'm sure some of us can take some time to contribute to translate the application(s) into other languages. I'd like to know the procedure, to have the language file and to translate each entry. I can contribute with French, I'll take my time to translate it properly. Feel free to reply with the required information to get started.

Thank you, keep up the great work
