I just loaded the NextPVR Android client to my Amazon Firestick with App2Fire and everything works flawlessly. My wife uses the firestick more than I do and this is just what I needed. Simple and no-fuss from NextPVR to the TV!
Only issue is the rewind and FF buttons don't work on the remote but the Center circle back (left) and forth (right) does.
NextPVR suddenly started doing something weird today and started to fail at recording just about all my shows. Looking at the ndigitalhost log files, it looks like it's failing for some reason even if the signal locks successfully. Is it not locking fast enough or what's happening?
Now I've noticed that I'm still running version 4.0.4 and version 4.1.1 is out, so I will be upgrading shortly and hope that fixes the problem...BUT WILL IT?! Has this problem been fixed at any of the releases since 4.0.4?
And if not, is there some setting somewhere I can tweak to tell NextPVR not to time-out so quickly if it fails to lock a signal at first?
I've attached the full logs to this thread in the hopes that it will help determine the problem and find a solution.
EDIT: After restarting the computer running NextPVR, as well as the SiliconDust HDHomeRun Connect HDHR4-2US on which those failed recordings took place, it seems to be working again...for now. I'll still upgrade NextPVR and hope that helps, but I really would like to know if I should keep worrying about this happening after upgrading NextPVR.
sub,
Is there a way to download an APK from Google Play, as opposed to doing an install?
I couldn't seem to figure it out.
I have several different Android boxes that I swap in and out, sometimes completely erasing the ROMs and I don't think Google Play will let me re-install the app.
When I view the 'Guide' tab on the Android app and scroll to the bottom, the last channel (highest number) is missing. All the channels are present when viewing the 'Channels tab'. see pics

I tried scrolling up and down several times and landscape orientation but still won't show the last channel.

I'm moving from DVBLink to NextPVR but having issues.
First all seemed to be good, I was able to record and play just fine.
But the recording seemed to fail after a couple of successful recordings, seemed like recording service went very sluggish and started to cause errors to recordings and after that stopped recording until the service was rebooted.
I scheduled a service reboot for every night hoping it would fix it.
But now I noticed NextPVR recorded empty files, they show up in records, but do not play and looks like there's no data.
Currently I'm trying to rescan channels, but so far no channels have appeared.
At the same time my TV shows channels just fine.
System:
Windows 10 64-bit, Intel Core i3 3225, 8GB DDR3, 1TB HDD. Tuners: 2 x PCTV 291e/461e BDA 28179 TVTuner C
When I attached a 4k television to my Windows 10 computer, NextPVR started cropping the UI in a way that makes all dialog boxes impossible to see. I switched back to 1080p, and the problem persists, even after uninstalling and reinstalling. I have tried tweaking both the zoom and resolution settings to no avail. Any idea what may be wrong? A couple of screenshots are attached for reference. Thanks!
I have everything set up correctly, i.e. I can watch television, have a guide that will update periodically, etc. But, when I record shows, the actual recording is cut short--anywhere from 15 minutes to 1 hour long. I am using IPTV, and have no issues with it, but it will glitch on rare occasions, due to network congestion I assume. I have tried setting 'use out of process digital recording' to false, but made no difference in the error. Either way, the recordings are cut short from finishing
I noticed that I will still see the first recording in the task bar, even when multiple recordings have been attempted (all of the attempts are successful to start, but have media files that aren't complete, as I described earlier in the email). The first recording attempt never leaves the task bar icon.
I have attached log files that may help in diagnosing the issue.
Thanks for creating the client. For the most part, I think that it works great, however I would like to see some more controls for playback.
I have one particular TV in one particular room that I can't put a RPi on and I'm stuck with watching whatever is on. I've always wished that I could watch some of the programming that I've recorded and now I can. I put the client on my tablet and now I can watch some of the show's that I would normally only be able to watch on one of the other systems.
I started watching a recorded show via my tablet. Playback was great with an exception or two. The pause button didn't work (it works on the phone, but not on the tablet) so, I pressed stop. When I went to resume playback, I had to start from the beginning and then used the progress bar to FF to where I left off. This could be an issue if there was sometime between viewings because I wouldn't be able to remember where I had left off. There was a little trial and error finding where I stopped because I had not looked at the time stamp and I had to guess how long I had been viewing and then jumped around a bit to find the correct time.
I don't know if there is a way to sync with the client with the PVR to mark my place or something? Also, FF and RW buttons would help.
Is there a way to watch a desired channel from the TV guide with a single key stroke? Currently, I need to hit enter, then select watch, then enter again.
....I found a way with the following addition to the key mapping:
