A couple of days ago Vaders Streams changed their panel from an M3U that passed username and password to one that passes a token. This gave NextPVR a fit. I made double sure the channels updated properly. Even completly uninstalled and reinstalled to make sure it was clean.

The old M3U url format was: (pass x'd out)

Hey guys,

Thanks in advance. I've attached the latest zip of the logs after changing and checking a configuration in the IPTV Device, which results in a different URL for a channel (I can parse my list and get either .ts or .m3u8 URLs).

When configured to receive the .ts URLs, the content doesn't play. Says "unable to find available capture device". If I take a URL out of channel details, and pop it in VLC - it plays.

When configured to receive the .m3u8 URLs, NextPVR appears to connect, but there is no audio or video output. Right-click on the black screen (with correct channel name in title bar) and it shows stop,pause, etc.
Again, if I take the URL from the channel details (this time formatted in .m3u8) and pop it in VLC - it plays.

I suspect the 'token' parameter is being parsed strangely or perhaps has characters that are unanticipated? *shrug* The logs don't seem to show the full URL of the channels in NRecord.log - is there a setting I can enable to get a full path (detailed or verbose logging?) - might help.

Thanks again! Awesome software!

Hi All
A little back ground to the issues Im having and what I have worked out from reading the posts here, and watching videos.
Background info
My main system runs windows 7 Media Center, I have a older Hauppauge Tv tunner that records my TV through the composite, I live in an area where we don't have over the air frequencies, So i use a Cable TV set box that MCE with the use of the IR blaster changes the channels. works great except that my TV tuner card only works in a system with less then 4 Gigs, and Microsoft will be shutting down the service in 2020.

So now Im building a a new system here are the specs, I7 windows 10, hauppauge hd-pvr 1212, (no IR blaster) using the windows MCE IR blaster, and cable Box Im using the front Composite on the hauppauge hd-pvr 1212 that goes to the cable box, the Ir blaster on the cablebox goes back the MCE IR blaster.

After lots of hrs and hrs and a few subscriptions (schedule direct) I got a picture to show up on live video with audio, one of the things i did was add the below lines into AnalogDevices.XML as i thought you need this for Analog (but nope)

<Device filter="Hauppauge HD PVR Capture Device">
<Name>Hauppauge HD PVR Capture Device</Name>
<Type>HARD_ENCODE</Type>
<FilterEncoder>Hauppauge HD PVR Capture Device</FilterEncoder>
</Device>
under devices in the settings i have HDPVR Hauppauge HD PVR and Analog Hauppauge HD PVR Capture Device I set up the Analog Hauppage HD PVR Capture Device, and nothing showed under live TV, I then went to use HDPVR Hauppauge and in worked.
This is were Im not sure why the IR blaster does not change the channels
In my devices tab i go to the import channel list tab import source is composite Video and RCA front and import EPG Source Schedules Direct, Channel Changer is blank.

Im not sure what to do next to get the IR blaster to change channels, the remote does work with going from live video and showing the guide. i hope there is enough info for someone to help me out.

thanks...

I previously had NextPVR Installed and uninstalled it.

I have just reinstalled it, and halfway through installation I get error:
Server database not found at: \\192.168.1.2\npvr\npvr.db3

I hit ok, and the install continues, but then if I try to launch NextPVR I get the same error.

The local IP Address of the computer I'm installing it on is 192.168.1.2 - and this is the server address I had setup in NextPVR last time, so I'm wondering if this is a hang up from my prior install?

In any case, there seems to be no way to open/use Next PVR. Any ideas?

EDIT: The issue has been fixed by Sharing the NPVR directory in Windows Sharing. The Directory is in C:\Users\Public

I’ve noticed the dual episode screen endings on some stations are being marked as commercials.

Can anyone help me prevent this or give me suggestions on how to tune Comskip to avoid it?

I put it in General Discussion since this really isn't a NPVR issue.

I have a small sample video (around 3MB) if anyone needs it at https://chambers.pw/test-video/test.ts
I can provide a longer test video.

Hi,

I have version 4.1.0 of Next PVR installed on a relatively fresh install of Windows 10 Pro Version 1703. Tuner card is a HVR-2250 connected to an Antenna. Channels were loaded by running a channel scan on 1 of the ATSC tuners, then exporting and importing to the other. EPG is using Schedules Direct.

I'm getting a 'Reduced Channel' message when changing channels or using the 'Now Playing' list when both of the 2250's ATSC tuners are in use. The 'Now Playing' list only shows 14 of my 69 channels. It looks like it is showing 1 sub channel from each (or most) of the channels that I receive. I understand from other posts this is because those are the channels that it thinks it can tune too based on the state of the tuner. Why does it think I can tune to those 14 channels and not the other 54 when both tuners show as busy in the Status?

When I hit 'F1' to go to the guide with Live TV playing it shows me the full list of channels and lets me tune to any of them. There are posts about this going back at least 2 years so presumably it is intended behavior but to a newbie it sure seems like a bug. Is there a way for me to get the channel +/- and 'Now Playing' lists to show the full list instead of reduced set of channels? Whatever logic is populating that list doesn't seem to take into account that when you change the channel you are going to 'free' up the current live tv tuner.

Thanks

On Saturday evenings, we regularly have the scenario where we have back-to-back recordings on one channel (BBC4 HD in this case) and a single recording on another channel at the same time (ITV HD at the moment), overlapping both recordings.

The second of the back-to-back recordings always fails with the error "Recording service not running at recording time".

This used to work (can't remember the date or NPVR version, but it was when BBC4 were showing Black Lake!) but I think I started to see this error toward the end of that series in the same scenario. I didn't think much of it at the time, but now it's clearly a pattern.

I have a dual DVB-T2 tuner and my system can comfortably handle the concurrent recordings and playback. My default settings have a 5 minute pre and post roll on recordings.

The system is definitely awake when this happens - sleep settings are turned off and, normally, we will tend to be in and watching something else on the same computer when this occurs, The concurrent ITV HD recording is never truncated.
Although I've seen failed recordings because device failed to start etc, those have all tended to be sporadic. The pattern here leads me to believe there is something fixable.

Logs are attached. the most redent failed recording was at 21:45 17/03/2018 on BBC4 HD.

I've looked for similar issues, on here, but most seem to suggest a problem with the system sleeping, which I've already ruled out.
I didn't have a c:/temp folder until ust now, so I can't provide a dump yet.

I have a new problem that mp4 video files will no longer play. Npvr freezes when I play a file and I must kill the npvr process. I have tried all of the decoders. What am I missing? Did a windows update break something?

Hi y'all -

I'm new to NEWA and having a hard time setting it up. It all seems to be working on my internal network. When I connect to 192.168... all the content works as it should. But when I'm on another network and connect to my external IP, all my content is missing. I can login just fine, but the pages show nothing where I should see all my stuff. I've attached an example:

When I use the "classic" guide (.../guide2.aspx) I can see the content, but the video doesn't play (something about old plugins, I think?).

Any ideas how to get this working?

Current NextPVR

I've had good success with launching NextPVR using the command line -Direct "Live TV" option after setting the channel in the registry. After the launch and live TV is visible, I get a message when I press the ctrl-K key to begin recording. The message asks "Are you sure you want to delete this recording?" and offers OK and Cancel. Clicking Cancel returns to normal viewing. Clicking OK also returns to normal viewing but now if I press ctrl-K, the familiar manual recording dialog appears.

Is this normal behavior? What recording is it asking me to delete? Is there more than one way to use the -direct option?

Thanks.
