I right clicked this and 'closed' NextPVR in the system tray as I wanted to restart - however, when I visit local host it's still running and when I boot up the desktop app I can still watch TV but there is no item in the system tray - will my scheduled recordings still take? I presume the server is still active as I am able to access it but yeah, the absence of the logo in the system tray is confusing as it had been ever present prior to that. 

Also - checking under 'device status' it says 'no device are active' in case that is relevant. 

Cheers

Hello,
I just started using NextPVR and scheduled a manual recording for this evening. Recording was scheduled from 8pm to 1 am, but I canceld it at 0:40, as the desired show had already ended (to my understanding this doesn't delete whats already recorded, right?). But now the recording doesn't play correctly. In VLC the file says 31:51 and in the web interface it's also very short. But the recorded file is still 14GB big.
Is the recording damaged for good, or is there something I can do?
I did all this on WIndows btw.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, here's the updated tuning SAT>IP file for cable operator Ziggo, The Netherlands.
All the other ones can be deleted as they are outdated.
Please update NextPVR with this file with the next release. Thanks!

I also noticed the first frequency (266 MHz) doesn't list the scanned channels. I think it's because an illegal character which NextPVR doesn't ignore.
Can you please add support for adding those channels and ignoring the illegal character?
It looks like a space or something. Then the channels can be added without problems.
Thank you!

See attachment for logfile and tuning file.
Best regards!

Channel 9 Australia has updated their streams so that they require a tokenized encrypted stream that is specific to the 9now account. The idea is that you can't stream the channel unless you have a login. All good except that it leads to an excessively long HTML link with all kinds of special characters in. If I paste this link into streamlink on the command-line (and make sure I quote it); everything works fine and VLC pops up with the live Channel 9 stream, but if I try to add the link to an extra XML, quoted or not, I get a syntax error when I update the channels in nextPVR. The extra looks like this (I have excluded my user specific token)

Hi

Noticed this last week, but only just got round to fiddling with it, its been running perfect for the past 18 months.

Last week i noticed alot of missing guide data, the channels 1 - 25 seem fine anything above are very hit and miss. mostly miss.

Im running nextPVR in a docker conatiner and the arial is connected to a HD homerun.

I deleted the container and started again, but when updateing the EPG data it only does channels 1 - 25

Ive attachd logs.

Thanks

Windows 10. I backed up the xml & db files first. After installation the 'new' version, ALL I got in my Windows app list is the NextPVR Client and NextPVR Web App. That's it, no folder, no recording service icon, just the client app for this PC and a link to the web version. The 'new' client app says it's VERSION 4.2 5. 

1. I can't record a show without the recording service
2. The whole reason I uninstalled 4.2.5 is because it wasn't working with Kodi's newer versions (said I needed version 5.2 or higher).

What is the latest version of NextPVR? 

Now it won't work on Kodi AND I can't record. Can anyone help??

Hi there,

being new here, first a short intro: my goal on the long run is to switch to an "integrated" full solution like e.g. Kodi and build a special skin to support all my specific needs and hardware (beamer, motorized screen, lights, etc.). The basic requirements are quite limited: must-haves are music, slideshow and live TV from cable. The rest, like recorded videos, Netflix and DVD are nice-to-have goodies, if somehow possible. Low resolution, 1024 x 768 native on the beamer, and stereo 2.1 sound only - so there is no need for anything "fancy" like 4k, HD, Surround, etc.

I am currently evaluating NextPVR to use with Kodi for DVBC reception. Generally I am impressed about the ease of use and installation (also when compared to other competitors I have checked until now), also your software seems to be unusually stable, so Kudos for the fine work done here!

Just two installation hints for other newbies, this information may come in useful to others:

1. During the installation I have encountered some issues about transcoders blocking and breaking up the initialization, but after having consulted many forum entries and looking in detail into the logs, it appeared to be rather user/rights related problems, possibly when trying to access the temporary folders for recording/timeshift. At the end reinstalling the software from scratch with administrator elevation seems to have solved those problems and finally I could setup the channels.
   
2. Next problem turned out to be Firefow related - looks like the browser disallows media autoplay by default, so the web frontend refused to work. Having found the well hidden setting in Firefox resolved also this problem.
   

• When using the Web Frontend, the streams are not perfect, but quite OK, I have some audio disturbances or rarely some artefacts in the video popping up, but the live TV experience is quite "fluid".
  
• In the Desktop Client, the situation is getting definitely worse and the streams are heavily disturbed (compression artefacts all over the screen, stop and go, sound with cracking and clicks).
  
• Using Kodi with the addon is similar or maybe even worse.

Apologies for all the questions recently. 

I am importing a recording to Avidemux to remove the ad breaks - however I am receiving this error message, when trying to watch the stream in full in VLC, there is no issue - what is causing this error? (not the Avidemux telling me part, the error must exist as stated - I mean more, was it a hitch during recording? with my connection? why would nothing appear to be an issue during playback in something like VLC?)

Is there any way I can solve this so that I am able to import successfully into Avidemux to remove ads? 

Thanks!

So I've been recording things the last few days and enjoying the feature very much. However, after a few of the longer recordings (sports events that take 2.5hrs+) I've noticed that my computer suddenly starts the fan and temperatures go up very high - checking in task manager I can see that an instance of FFMPEG is using 100% CPU, yesterday I had 2 instances at the same time fighting for 50% each - there is nothing else going on with the computer at the time, other than just being used to record via NextPVR. 

Is this related? Does NextPVR have some sort of post-record tasks that it runs which cause a spike in CPU usage like this? 

Cheers!
