Quote:- further IPTV improvements
- performance improvements to the Settings->Channels, and Channel Groups screens when dealing with huge lists of channels.
- fixed issue where channel icons weren't showing in Kodi
- fixed issue that could cause an exception when changing between channels on different sources
- fixed issue where Android app could incorrectly report that it failed to connect to NextPVR when the users pin code was different than the default 0000
- fixed issue with using "-direct" command line while specifying a Default Startup activity other than 'Main Menu'.
- fixed obfuscated logging for one type of IPTV provider, that was logging plain text urls
- now flag Kodi to reload the recordings when a playback position has changed for a recording (so that you could resume on another kodi client etc)
- on the 'show details' popup, shows with long descriptions are now split into multiple parts, and you can press left/right to move between them. (previously it was just clipped at whatever would fit in the available space)
- fixed issue where artwork from Schedules Direct would sometimes not be used.

Hello,

I am using latest NPVR with latest nshared.dll and Kodi 18 latest nightly build on Android (20180408) with next PVR kodi addon, and after some time channel play hangs.
Kodi log shows it is retrying to read from socket and NPVR log shows:

2018-04-09 19:40:49.926 [ERROR][9] Live stream expired without 15 second renewal. (handle:190003)

Any ideas?

Uploading full logs...

The terrestrial television system in our country switches from DVB-T MPEG-2 format to DVB-T2 HEVC/H.265. When I try to watch TV channels encoded by HEVC/H.265 using NextPVR, there are a short random glitches in the audio.
I have the latest LAV decoders for both video and audio. When watching live TV in KODI + NextPVR plugin or in other Windows PVR software the audio plays smoothly.

Where can be problem with NextPVR?

I noticed that NextPVR was displaying the wrong artwork for one of the new-ish shows: Rise. So I tried deleting the image files and Rise-catalog.xml from the Media\Shows folder. Then I forced NextPVR to load artwork by calling http://localhost:8866/services/service?m...scape=true. (Using a recording_id for a recorded Rise episode.)

(I would have posted the .zip of the whole logs folder that NextPVR generated, but it is too large to upload here. So I have just uploaded the relevant web.log file.)

The web.log shows

And it downloads image files and creates a new rise-catalog.xml file. But the Description and Epsiodes in the rise-catalog.xml file are from the wrong show:

My Tuner (AVERTV Volar Hybrid Q) is only showing one audio track, how can I tune the SAP audio on it? Thanks!

Over the years I've had a few instances were I would notice a stream running in the tray icon, maybe once every 6 months or so. Not a big deal. The culprit has always been a Kodi live TV stream that had been stopped on the client, but continued to run in NextPVR. To stop it I've just stopped the service and restarted and everything was back to normal.

However, in the last week or so I've had it happen twice. Now the strange part, the last 2 times this happened I've stopped the service with the menu shortcut and when I've tried to use the shortcut to restart it it appears to restart (tray icon comes back) but the service is really not running (web interface etc not working). The only way I've been able to get it back running normally is to completely reboot the PC. I think NRecord.log.3 may have some clues, but I'm way outside my knowledge zone... There's been no changes to any of my client hardware (not even updates) or network in over a year other than updating NextPVR at the beginning of March to 4.1.0 so I'm knda at a loss.

Here's the logs, hopefully someone can give me some ideas on what's going on.

I downloaded the app late last week and had a play over the weekend. Seems to work well with my Oneplus 5T phone, though perhaps there's something not quite right with the aspect ratio on an 18:9 screen, the pause and stop buttons and timeline go onto two lines at the bottom of the screen in landscape orientation.

Also, is there a way to skip/reverse in the app? This would be a very useful feature as it is used a lot in our house in NPVR, both short and long skips.

But overall great to see this come to fruition. Nice work @sub!

Hello there. I recently installed nextpvr(4.1 latest version) on my windows 10 pc, and am using IPTV. Playing and viewing live tv via tv guide works well, however i am having trouble recording. Setting the recording works, as i am able to select a show to record, however the problem lies in the playback. Whenever i try to play a recorded tv, it skips part of the show, and "blips" all throughout the duration of the video. I do not believe this is a network issue, as my home network is stable and my iptv provider streams are strong as well. The files are considerably small for a 1 hour 720p show (only 100-200 mb). I tried installing next pvr on my windows 7 machine, and recordings work flawlessly over same network and iptv provider. I have took the following measures to ensure the recordings work :

I have installed Lav Decoders as instructed on your site

I replaced my Nshared.dll with the newest version as discussed on another thread

I disabled auto sleep in windows to prevent nextpvr from shutting down

I have a google drive link, to log files, which is below. Please help asap

Hey,

Great app, would love to be able to modify & potentially delete previously setup schedules from within the app, is that possible?

Cheers

Using the new IPTV features (very nice), I can view shows, and record shows works well. Sometimes the NextPvr service shows the recording continuing after the scheduled completion time and won’t allow deletion of the recorded file.
I use Comskip and after the recording has finished; I have no issue with tuner cards recording, just does not remove commercials from IPTV recordings.
My concern is we have a service which gives you 5 ip’s and if the recording gets stuck, we may run out of ip’s and get booted.
Attached are the logs,
only other question is can Schedules direct provide the EPG for both tuner and IPTV?

The problem occurred around 9 AM today. I was able to delete the file this time by turning off ComSkip before recording.
