Hey all, I've been using NextPVR for a few months and love it, thank you for the great work!
Would it be possible to somehow allow to temporarily disable a device?
My use case is that my IPTV provider only allows 1 connection at the time and while I use a Kodi client to connect to the NextPVR backend when at home, I'd like to be able to use a "regular" IPTV app on my iPad to connect directly to my provider while on the go.
Currently, even if no one is watching IPTV at home, my provider always assumes a connection is active unless I completely remove the device from NextPVR.
This forces me to re-add everything from scratch when I'm back home, which is a PITA.
My server running NextPVR is not exposed to the internet and, living in the EU, the NExtPVR iOS app is no longer available for me.
I'm in the process of moving recording to a new machine. Is there a way to temporarily suspend recording activity on the other system? I really don't want to get into uninstalling NPVR or deleting scheduled recordings, just suspend so I could easily revert if required.
Is there an established way to do this e.g. through the NPVR front-end? Is there a service I can move to manual start?
About 6 months ago I upgraded to windows 11 and installed the latest at the time NPVR. Now whenever I leave NPVR window open and idle it unexpectedly stops working and windows gives me no option except to close.
I recently upgraded from v6 to v7 of NextPVR and now my EPG listings are either mostly or half missing at best. I had no issues with version 6 of NextPVR except for the periodic miss of a couple of channels. Now I frequently find that a process in NextPVR (when I examine its status from the system tray icon), is hung on one of the tuners (I have 2 tuners) -- I assume its in the process of doing an EPG update. To recover from this, I reboot the computer. When running (without hanging), it seems the EPG listings are missed for the same set of channels. Sometimes (but rarely), the EPG listings for those missed channels are populated.
Another issue I have is that when a program is recorded, the .TS file is converted to a compressed MP4 file, but the original .TS file is never deleted. This was managed properly in version 6.
The version number is correctly shown on the Settings page (most of the time), but sometimes it displays 7.0.1.0 with a notification that it can be upgraded to 7.0.1.241229. After another refresh, it shows the correct current version.
I attempted to re-install NextPVR by deleting the old configuration (and new database file), rescanned the channels, etc., but the same issues remain.
I saw that there are a couple of other threads posting similar issues. I don't know if this is the same issue as those... or if there is a definite solution. Please let me know.
I'm not trying to be obtuse, I'm just asking for a sanity check and testing for the answer is a lot of time/physical work.
With the changes for HDPVRs in version 7 always being listed in the same order, does this mean the NextPVR will now reliably always select them? For example, I was thinking of a setup but knew it would not work:
Sub has said in previous versions that the HDPVRs would be detected in different orders so sometimes which is would change. Making pvr1 be on box 2 and blaster2. This wouldn't work for me as the blasters are third party and use different commands. Also I was thinking (not sure if this is possible) of one for recording, the other for live TV/Streaming, doesn't matter if that's possible as long as they always keep in order so they are tied to the same equipment.
I have a .m3u8 that works perfectly fine with Jellyfin and VLC, which has a username and password specified within the .m3u8, however I get the following error when trying to stream with NextPVR:
