I know that the title of this post is not very helpful, but I did not know how to phrase it.

When I view my recordings in Kodi from the Live TV screen this is what is displayed:

[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]

How do I configure NVPR or Kodi to display a thumbnail image of the recording?

Thanks....

Very strange issue

The Freeview channels changed in my area on Friday.

I re tuned both the A and B tuners on my my card but only the B tuner is picking up the various BBC, C4 and ITV channels.

I copied the B mappings to the A card and then disabled the B card to test, but the A card is unable to connect to BBC1 HD ,BBC2 HD, ITV HD annd Channel 4 HD.

Has anyone else had this issue, all appeared to be working before the channels moved.

Thanks for your help .

My phone is running 4.4.2 and just bought the android app and when I go to play a channel I get "Starting Transcode. Please wait" Message. It just sits there. Then goes to a black screen.
What am I doing wrong?
Please advise.
Thank you,

As always, Thank you,

Hey Sub,

Thanks so much for modifying the "closed caption" option so I could toggle that feature on or off as needed. I was surprised to see that modification in the last software update. You made my day !

It was worth at least an additional yearly donation for me !

Great software and support.

Hi,

I recently replaced a client PC, which connects to my main NPVR machine.

I'm certain that on the old client PC, the recording screen would show a green indicator next to part watched recordings (as I see on the server.)
I don't see this on the new client PC. The resume option does appear when I click on the recording, and I can resume at the right point.

Should I be seeing the green indicator next to part watched recordings when I'm on the client PC?

Both machines are running 4.1.1.

After reading older posts on this forum, I modified my config.xml to try to enable Quicksync:

<TranscodeArgs>-y -v 0 -i [SOURCE] -f mpegts -acodec libfaac -ar 48000 -ac 2 -ab 64k -s [RESOLUTION] -vcodec h264_qsv -b [BITRATE]

Doing some tests, I noticed high CPU usage. After looking at the logs, I notice my h264_qsv setting is ignored:

2018-05-25 10:55:29.510 [DEBUG][16] Default transcoder args: -y [SEEK] -i [SOURCE] -map_metadata -1 -threads 0 -ignore_unknown -map 0:v:0 -map 0:a:[AUDIO_STREAM] -map -0 -codec:v:0 libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -preset superfast -crf 23 -b:v [BITRATE] -maxrate [BITRATE] -bufsize [BUFSIZE] -vsync vfr -profile:v high -level 41 -force_key_frames "expr:gte(t,n_forced*3)" -s [RESOLUTION] [SUBTITLES] -flags -global_header -sc_threshold 0 -codec:a:0 aac -strict experimental -ac 2 -ab 128000 -af "adelay=1,aresample=async=1" -hls_time [SEGMENT_DURATION] -start_number 0 -hls_list_size [SEGMENT_COUNT] -y [TARGET]

Am I doing this correctly? Is the HW Acceleration for Transcoding setting somewhere else? My server has a Skylake Celeron G3900 that supports Quicksync. The OS is WHS 2011.

Hello everyone.
Here I go again. I hope someone can help me. The video is jittery and the audio arrives first. It seems to be with Kodi. When This happens I quickly start recording in NextPVR. When I play back the video it plays correctly with no issues with audio.
I also have found out that if when the video is jittery and the audio is not in sync if I pause it for about a min or so when then press play it seems to play correctly with no audio issues.
I sure hope someone can help me with this. I am loosing my mind over this. I have spent countless hours testing NextPVR and do not want to abandon the project.
I have included the logs from Nextpvr as well as Kodi.
Thank you for you time
Bruce

These scanners will allow Plex to correctly scan and index NextPVR recordings allowing playback of recorded shows via a Plex client. Originally written to allow viewing of recorded shows on a ROKU device via the Plex channel.

These were put together as whilst the built in Plex scanners will detect files with the correct SxxExx naming format, it will miss those where NextPVR falls back to the legacy naming convention when series and episode information is not available from the EPG source (e.g. for UK soap operas).

The scanners will correctly process files in the following formats:

TV Shows
Full details: show.name.S00E00.episode.title.ts
Partial details: show.name.S00E00.ts (S00E00 will be used as episode title in this case)
Legacy Format: show name_YYYYMMDD_HHMMHHMM.ts (Uses Year as season, MMDD as episode and recorded date as episode title)

Movies
New format: Move.Name.(Year)

Not sure if these will be of use to anyone else but thought it would be worthwhile to make them available!

I have an IPTV service that allows me to export the channels to an m3u. I have modified the m3u to use the service's channel numbering. I can import the m3u using Kodi Simple IPTV addon and get the desired channel numbers. NextPVR has no problem importing the m3u but it ignores the channel number field. Instead of the desired channel number, I get a sequential channel list (1-30). I was curious if there is a correct m3u syntax to import the desired channel numbers?

Here is a line from my m3u. In this case I'm trying to get the channel number to be 140 instead of 1 (since it's the first channel in my file). Kodi appears to use the 'tvg-chno' field to assign the channel number.

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="10179" tvg-chno="140" tvg-name="ESPN US HD" tvg-logo="http://*/*/misc/logos/240/549.png" group-title="Eng;Sports",ESPN US HD


I also have a question regarding non-english characters. The line below is from my m3u:

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="76943" tvg-chno="873" tvg-name="Bein Sports en Español HD" tvg-logo="http://*/*/misc/logos/240/1239.png" group-title="Esp;Sports",Bein Sports en Español HD

In NextPVR the channel name appears as such:

Bein Sports en Español HD

I can manually change it but I also see similar glitches in guide listings and descriptions.
