At first I thought my issue was kodi, but its not - it happens with Emby and Direct Playback

I have 2 DVB tuners and an IPTV tuner setup.

The DVB Tuners work fine and schedule how they should. The IPTV recieves fines and lists as it should.

When I playback a DVB stream from my server via Kodi and NEXTPVR client it works flawlessly - Very Happy , Records and Playsback without issue.

When I playback or RECORD an IPTV stream (TS Stream) from my NPVR server via ANY client it often repeats chunks, initially mostly in the first few minutes and then random throughout. It seems to me that when NPVR is decoding chunks, that there is some sort of loop that it gets into and re-caches the same TS data chunk more than once as the next piece.
It does this both when recording and playback. Stop and replay the SAME stream and it doesn't do it, but change stream to another one and it does.

I have spent several days already checking kodi, my IPTV provider and my own network. Its none of those things, My IPTV provider is fine - receive the stream on another device and VLC simultaneously and it doesn't repeat chunks.

Any ideas what this might be, any settings I might need to change?

Thanks

im not sure if the error is with kodi. cause i dont get an error when i save to default directory. im just not sure if im setting up the directorys correctlly in npvr. i changed my virtual default to my D: drive. then i added some sub directorys Soap operas, Ncis also in the d: drive. - and added them to npvr and gave them virtual names. i can choose these groups in kodi but every time i goto save the timer (for an edited timer i havent tried on new one will do that tonight) i get the unexpected error. very frustrating i would just like to keep these recording in seperate directorys. now i got the kodi logger addon and uploader but my file was to large to upload (had it running when i first started with kodi) anyway thought id just delete it unless you think thats a bad idea. also could i get a quick link to uploading my npvr logs and where to turn them on and find them.

Hello all.

I have recently downloaded Kodi 18 and installed NextPVR on the same machine. They both work alone but when I try to install the add on in Kodi for NextPVR - it doesnt work. I have followed the instructions on both and still not working.
I have tried to install Kodi 17.6 (and delete Kodi 18) - no success.
I have a VPN too - which I disabled but with no success.
I reinstalled NextPVR and no success.
I have attached the log files in case anything can be spotted there.
I love Kodi and I love the look of NextPVR and cant understand what I am doing wrong.
I have set the Kodi address for NextPVR as 127.0.0.1 but when I try and lookup this address with the passcode 8866 in the browser, it comes up with the connection error?
Thank you all for your help in advance.

Hey Guys,

I am new to using NextPVR, I have moved on from simple client. I have only used the NextPVR addon in Kodi 18. It seems to work with no issues after turning off time shifting. Besides the time shifting is there any reason to go back to 17? Am i missing out on any cool features that 18 might not have yet?

Thanks

Can log files be opened and viewed by the user? Some of the files are text, but others have extensions that are unknown to me.

Is there any reason why WOL in X-NEWA does not run on a Fire stick running Kodi? I have not used the setup since the Autumn when I thought WOL worked. It has installed a system update and I updated Kodi to the latest which is the same version used on my two X-NEWA boxes running LibreElec on nettop PCs. After starting X-NEWA nothing happens for 6-7 minutes after which I get a connection error to the specified IP address.

I installed the Advanced WOL app but that gave an error saying it didnt have enough rights to run some of the default settings. I had to disable Ping and set a time limit after which the server should be up so it now tells me the server should be up so I can start X-NEWA. Is WOL in X-NEWA likely to be hiving similar problems?

I have i3 windows 10, desktop, 120GB SSD HD, 4GB RAM.
Would adding more RAM help with NPVR recordings process?

I noticed pagefiles.sys file is 4gb, 5gb, up to 6gb sometimes.
So I been thinking about adding 4GB of more RAM.

Tv guide is only showing one day of shows.
I see in Misc 2 settings, EPG update hours. Does this mean EPG is update everyday at certain time?
Or is there any way to show say..week or month tv guide at once?

I noticed that NPVR creates a folder then records program inside that folder.
ex: IF I record ESPN "SportsCenter", NPVR creates "SportsCenter" folder then record "SportsCenter" inside that folder.

Maybe something so obvious?
But how can I prevent NPVR from creating a new folder, and just record in default folder I set?

I am using NPVR with Schedules Direct on a Windows 10 desktop, as a replacement for WMC. I am completely happy with the performance so far. I do have a general question: Is there any way to auto account for delayed broadcasts (subsequent to sports, breaking news, etc.) for recording purposes?
