I haven't noticed anyone else mention this but I'm having a problem using the unchecked "Use legacy NPVR TS Reader and Microsoft Demultiplexer." In all regards but one, using it unchecked is better. But the one exception is really annoying...I get a time lag where the video slowly falls behind the sound. I've tried every codec combination I could and I can't seem to solve this problem. That forces me to use the checked selection which gives me skip problems but with synched sound. I've tried using the NShared, NPVRTSReader4 patches but they don't seem to make a difference. Any ideas?

FYI, ts files record just fine in NPVR. They play back in Emby without problem, although that means my ComSkip doesn't work, but Emby's skip is just fine.

I get a blank screen when I select liveTV.
Here are my log files

I currently have OTA tuners and HDHomeRun Cable card devices running through one NextPVR server. I have noticed that NextPVR shows an IPTV device in the device list. I live in the US and I am not looking for anything illegal. I see services like USIPTV and I am wondering if it is worth it? Do these services work like my current setup with a guide, recording, recording timers, record and watch multiple streams at the same time, etc?

I am looking for any advice or guidance on this topic.

Thank you

Would like to get some information on how to use this DLL or the website that supplies the data. I'm looking to use Powershell and see what I can do with extending the recording time of live TV. Also, I would also like to find out how NextEnd tells NextPVR to extend the stop time.

Can someone help?

Thank you.

The removal today of C4 HD from the UK Freesat EPG dos not seem to be a problem as it is still being broadcast on the same mux. I just checked and I am using the Freeview HD EPG XML data but could just as easily set NextPVR to use the EPG data from the SD version of the channel.

I was thinking it would be nice to modify the details and layout of the screens. Essentially modifying the interface for my needs. Maybe something quick and easy for the home users or if they wanted to use the NPVR version.

I guess this request would be too big of a change and might be better to let KODI do this job. But to me KODI's interface is also not what I want to use. It's hard to get away from the simplicity and speed of the BEYONDTV interface. If I could emulate that in some ways that might get closer to what I was thinking of in a customizable interface.

Thanks for your consideration,
Jake

I have a m3u file that does not have a website its just a file. How do I use it?

I just got a Hauppauge WinTV-quadHD and unlike my WinTV-HVR-1265 it only shows up one time. The WinTV-HVR-1265 shows as two tuners in the device list. The quad only shows up once. I ran a test and I was able to record three shows at once using the quad but when I tried to access a fourth it told me there were no tuners available.

Does anyone have the same issue?

I am running the latest Next on Windows 10

I've upgraded my channel lineup and, naturally, did a "Detect Channels" on the DCR-3250 web page. When I went to "Settings -> Devices" and scanned, NextPVR skipped all the DRM channels. Not good.

Is this new behavior? How do I get NextPVR to not do this?

Thanks.

This has been going on for awhile. At least for me anyways. If I watch Live TV on KODI with a weak tv signal it will either freeze or after awhile stop with an error "No Tuner Available" even if I have a Tuner available. If I switch to NPVR and watch the same weak station on Live TV, it shows, but of course with very bad reception or it will automatically close but it won't freeze or display the "No Tuner Available" error.

If I watch a recorded program that was recorded with a weak TV signal, it will start and than just close automatically when the recorded hits a no TV signal portion of the program or close if I try to advance it past the bad part of the recorded program.

Another problem while watching Recorded programs, if the signal was weak but good enough to watch normally, when I try to advance the Recorded video manually, it will automatically shut off and I need to restart the recorded program again. Sometimes a 30 minute Recording will show more than an hours worth of recording and as soon as I manually try to advance the video it automatically closes again. This normally happens when the TV signal becomes weak during the recording of the program.

Another problem when I try to manually advance the video (normally to skip past commercials) some recorded programs I need to shut down and restart at the point where I shut it down to manually again advance it to another point in the recording. Normally this happens when the progress bar on KODI goes from normal time usage (bar is halfway across during a 30 minute recorded program) to a bar that starts at the beginning. If you try to advance the video after this happens, it will shut down and you need to restart it again. Sometimes you might be able to restart and go beyond the last time it shut down and other times as soon as you advance the bar it shut down. I usually end up deleting the recordings if this happens.

I know it isn't NPVR that is causing the problem. This doesn't occur with NPVR. The recorded programs basically all start and are viewable no matter how bad the recording is and I am able to advance the video without it shutting down like KODI does.

KODI is a great program. But it does have issues with weak TV signals and recording.

I have an old but extremely good working Hauppauge two Tuner card with Windows 10 Pro (1709) with an Nvidia GTX 1070 card.

This is the post I made at KODI Forums. The answer I received, educated guess, was the PVR Plugin was having a difficult time with streaming in KODI.
