According to the attached Screenshot of the upper left corner of the NextPVR "Settings" screen, I currently have version 7.0.5.260307 installed ,and would like to update to version 7.1.1.260616 as is also shown on the Settings screen as being the latest available.  To do this from the Linux Command-Line, I basically followed the same procedure as for a first time installation of version 7.1.1 using the commands shown below.

1.   curl https://nextpvr.com/nextpvr-helper.deb -O
2.   dick@deb:~$ sudo apt install ./nextpvr-helper.deb --install-recommends
3.   Reading package lists... Done
4.   Building dependency tree... Done
5.   Reading state information... Done
6.   Note, selecting 'nextpvr-helper' instead of './nextpvr-helper.deb'    :~$ sudo apt install ./nextpvr-helper.deb --install-recommends
7.   nextpvr-helper is already the newest version (3.1).
8.   0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 337 not upgraded.
9.   dick@deb:~$

Lines 6 and 7 seem to suggest that the  Linux Installer (nextpvr-helper.deb) is confused between what is currently installed, and the version it should be installing.  

I have no other way of determining what version is currently installed, so maybe the "Settings"  screen is wrong, or the latest version is already installed.  Any help in resolving this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Seems to be some trouble with NextPVR recording scheduling when RealTimeIsUniversal is enabled in Windows.  This is a useful Windows setting when mixing Windows and Linux systems.  I haven't spent any time investigating yet but I bet the NextPVR recording service might start before that registry setting takes effect as it seems my recordings are off by the 2 hour amount this setting would adjust things for my system.  Perhaps a workaround is making NextPVR service dependent on something or simply delay starting?

I have been fiddling about with using JellyFin as the front end for NextPVR recordings for a while, so far so good.  I am now starting to look at the new JellyFin 12.0-RC4 release.  I run NextPVR and Jellyfin as separate Docker containers on the same server.  The release notes for RC4 note the need to remove and reinstall any plugins (if you are upgrading), I am not, this is a new clean installation of JellyFin 12.0 RC-4.  I installed the current (?) NextPVR plugin for Jellyfish (v13.0.0 ?) and configured it for my environments.  I  am NOT using the JellyFin Live TV or DVR configuration at all.  I seem to be able to access NextPVR Live TV, Guide and recordings without any problems.

Questions:
1. Is this the correct NextPVR plugin version to use ?  Is there likely to be a revision of the plugin for the new JellyFin 12.x release when this comes about ?

2. Although, as noted above, I can see Live TV and recordings without any visible problems on screen, the Jellyfin log files repeat the following error/warning multiple (lots and lots of) times (http://cmdock-av1:8866 is my Docker NextPVR installation):

Hello, my question is about how to add a channel to the NPVR program guide.  I am using the current NPVR version on linux, I have an HDHR dual OTA tuner and I am subscribed to Schedules Direct, and I'm in the southwestern US.  Out of the seventy or so channels that show up whenever I scan for channels on my TV, or in the HDHR app, I currently have 35 selected for the devices and the NPVR program guide.  I have had this setup working for about a year and everything has been working fine.  I need to add a newly created (in my area) OTA channel, and I don't want to screw up my current configuration when I do it.

The situation here is that network programming for CBS is leaving the channel it has been associated with forever and is being moved to a new digital sub channel (XX.4, for example) of another local channel that has always been associated with another major network, and it is this new digital channel (XX.4) that I need to add to the program guide.  When the new channel was activated, my TV and the HDHR guide both picked it up immediately.

Using the web browser interface for my NPVR server, I went into settings and selected the devices tab.  I selected one of the two HDHR devices (which currently shows the 35 channels I have selected for the guide), and clicked the "scan channels" button.  In the guide selection I picked (as I always have) the Schedules Direct local broadcast listings for my zip code.  The results were a total of 30 channels, a few of which are among the channels I currently have selected, most which are not currently selected.  The newly created XX.4 channel does show up the scan.  At this point I cancel out because I'm unsure of what to do.  As I said, I don't want to screw up my current configuration.

If I select only the new XX.4 channel from this scan list, will the new channel be added to my currently selections, or will the current selections be erased and only the new channel show up in my channel choices for the guide?

Thank you in advance for your help.

The audio will distort after watch live TV for a period of time ranging from a few minutes to about an hour on the web interface of NextPVR on Chromium browser. Tried to ask ChatGPT for help to fix this issue and drew a conclusion that the issue may be caused by the interaction of NextPVR web interface and Chromium browsers. I reckon ChatGPT generated a better bug report than me?. Follow is the bug report generated by ChatGPT>

I have extras channels that use different code to use 

<channel name="ESPN">
    <command>ffmpeg</command>
    <args>-v panic -re -i "http://localhost:5589/hls/espn/stream.m3u8" -c:v copy -c:a aac -f mpegts -</args>
</channel>

How do I add guide data to these?

I figured it out sorry.

Hi

My new DVB-T2 stick installed OK and I can view various channels on supplied software TVRPlayer.
NPVR doesn't find any channels on the detected device. I don't know what is going wrong.
Help.

I have no logs to provide because this is a question about NextPVR behavior, and not any actual problem I'm having.

In working with this I am finding that when setting up an IPTV import via Xtream credentials, that Next does not honor the channel numbering in the Xtream feed (that I know exists, because I made the feed), but rather finds the highest number currently existing, adds 1, and numbers sequentially from there.

Is this intentional behavior?

Thanks!

I found that my requests to view stuff on a lot of channels were being denied because of a weird user-agent ban. So, I made a repo which appends the VLC user-agent header to the m3u file and dumps it in the /out/ directory using Github Actions; all sources are the same as reaperc's list, so if sources there go down, they'll go down here too.

I haven't had much time to test it, but at least it seems that NHK G/E, TV Asahi, etc... work. Maybe I'll change which user-agent it uses in the future, but if it works, there's no need to fix it lol

I recently updated nextpvr from version 7.0 to version 7.1. Version 7.0 had been working properly with no issues at all. After I upgraded to version 7.1 I began to heve guide related issues. I got frustrated to the point where I reformatted the SSD and installed a brand new copy of Ubuntu 22.04.5 and nextpvr. The issues persisted. I next tried a clean install with Ubuntu 24.04.4 and nextpvr. Not only did the same issues persist but now there was an additional memory leak to contend with.

1. scheduled recordings are broken, I keep getting [Failed: HDHR stream not available]
2. When a TV show that I'm watching gets to the end, it stops and drops to the TV guide instead of playing the next show.
3. I can't get rid of the Silicondust EPG. The trash icon turns red when clicked, but nothing happens.
4. I have the timeshift setting at 120 minutes and the Ubuntu 24 memory leak occurs when a channel is left on for a day. Eventually the PC reboots due to "OOM" out of memory. I installed a dynamic memory manager "swapspace", which showed that virtual memory was getting over 300GB, dotnet appeared to be the issue.

Please find attached log files.
