I sometimes record a show and watch it right after it finishes airing while also recording another show at the same time. Example i record a show starting at 8PM when it finishes recording at 9PM i watch it right away while at the same time another show that airs at 9PM is getting recorded.
The issue i run into the video and audio get all messed up, i believe my hard drive can't keep up playing and recording at the same time. So I'm wondering if there is a way to set up a cache drive to record the show and then one it's done move the file to my main drive?
I don't think it's network related, everything is wired and only happens with back to back recordings. Don't have this problem with single recording. I've tried different players and the video messes up at the exact same spot so it's not the player.
It would be a nice feature to be able to open the ports needed for external streaming on firewalls using UPnP programmatic port forwarding...
Currently, it is quite a nuisance for me to make this work (needless to say I haven't quite understood how to do it), as for a strange reason opening port 8866 on my router is not enough for external access...also in the logs I see listeners are enabled on other ports, so it is quite confusing...

The recent(ish) addition to allow left / right (cursor keys or dpad) to skip backwards and forwards greatly helps with remotes with limited keys or poor layouts.
This functionality would be greatly enhanced by allowing the Enter / OK button to pause and resume playback as well.
It does not appear that this key is already bound for any other use during playback but cannot be re-mapped via the keymappings.xml without affecting other areas of the system so such a change would need to be implemented within the core program.
I am recording movies from a local channel that plays movies 24 hours a day. I am using PLEX to record the movies. Most of these videos playback without a problem using NextPVR for playback, but about one in five shows a much shorter length than the actual video length and does not play to the end in NextPVR. These videos play correctly in PLEX and VideoLAN. If I skip the video backward while playing I can get it to play to the end. On the other hand if I try to skip a commercial by skipping forward the playback becomes erratic, fast forwarding or jumping way ahead. Currently I have a recording that is 3 hours in length, NextPVR is reporting it as 45 minutes in length. I have another movie recorded which is 3 hours and 30 minutes which plays without a problem on NextPVR.
Hi all. I am an experienced developer, but new to using NextPVR. I am looking to use an executable that can take advantage of the Sky Q's capability to be controlled over the local network via NodeJS. I have no idea whether this is possible or not.
A complete list of possible commands the box will accept can be found on this page: https://github.com/dalhundal/sky-remote. I think covers almost all of the functions you can achieve using the Sky Q remote.
An example of some simple NodeJs code looks as below:
Code:
ar SkyRemote = require('sky-remote');
// var remoteControl = new SkyRemote('192.168.1.157', SkyRemote.SKY_Q);
var remoteControl = new SkyRemote('192.168.1.157');
// Simple - just send a command
// remoteControl.press('channelup');
// Nice - send commands with a callback
remoteControl.press(['4', '0', '1', 'select'], function(err) {
if (err) {
console.log("Woah! Something went wrong. Cry time.");
} else {
console.log("I just pressed the Channel Up command.");
};
});
Does anyone have any example scripts they use? I am assuming that I may have to do something like write out some dynamic parameters to a text file with the NodeJS code in, then execute that, but I could be barking completely up the wrong tree. All I need really is a toe hold to get me started, then I should be alright from there.
I'm away from home for a while and decided to stream a couple of recordings to my Surface Pro Windows 10 tablet.
NEWA opens fine (modern interface) and I can select the recording to play.
I see the transcode start message and then buffering 25%, 50%, 75% 100%. It then say playing but no video/sound output.
After a few seconds I see a message "The media could not be loaded either because the server or network failed Or because the format is not supported"
VLC is installed, is the default player and I get the same result in either Internet Explorer or Edge browsers.
Any ideas where the problem may be?
Can't easily access the logs as not back home for a couple of weeks.
I'm having a freezing problem with the Android web app, using a TV box.
The test was made playing live TV; NFL channel.
The first test was done over the internet; ran for about 8 minutes and froze.
(first set of log files - 0907)
The second test was done over the LAN; went about 11 minutes before freeze.
(second set of log files - 0921)
If I select a recorded show that seems to work OK.
For what it's worth, I have never had success watching live TV with my PC LAN based NPVR clients.
I have always had a freezing problem, since day-1. We normally ony watch recorded shows.
I was hoping that the web app might work better.
I have been having trouble with 4.1.1 freezing during playback and have to kill the program. I have attached the log files. You have one of my recordings from the other day.
