I have either a new problem, or a new symptom of the issues which started after the recent move of BBC4.
Last night I attempted to record a program starting at 21:00. The recording started OK, as did several others in either overlapping slots or scheduled later. They all completed OK, but the BBC4 program never terminated properly, and was still "recording" at 6.30 this morning. A check on the NPVR device status didn't show anything active, but observing the recording directory over time I could see the last updated time changing and a very small amount of data being added (the channel is off the air at this time). The system reported the file as still open in NDigitalHost.exe.
Logs attached. I can see the recording starting at 20:57 on ndigitalhost-23.log. I can't see any obvious errors, but I can't see a final "Stop Host"... Nothing in the Windows event logs.
The program showed up properly in the guide, and the scheduled recording was from 20:57 to 22:04 as expected.
I have seen this problem once before, also from BBC4, so I do wonder if it something to do with the EPG data.
I manually restarted the NPVR recording service and the recording finally terminated allowing ongoing processing to proceed. For now I think I'll extend my "watcher" service to bounce the recording service manually at about 4am, but that's a work-around not a fix.
I've checked the wiki and searched the posts in the forum and can't seem to find an answer.
How does one delete a keyword recording SET. By "set" I mean the actual keyword recording as it was originally set up. It seems that once a keyword recording is set up I can only delete the individual pending recordings one by one but never can delete the actual keyword "master" recording.
Example: I accidentally set up a keyword recording for the word "the". It finds every show with the word "the" in it. Maybe dozens or hundreds for example. I now need to actually fully delete that keyword recording setup. So it seems that I'm doomed to fill up my "recordings" list with hundreds of pending recordings and can't find a way to delete or stop that particular keyword recording.
When attempting to access the web interface, I am prompted for credentials (sometimes), and cannot access the rest of the interface without providing them.
Where are these credentials set?
The only credentials I know I am providing to the system are the admin name and password on NextPVR Settings "Client" page, but these do not appear to be the credentials that are in force here.
I've run into a weird issue. I'm using Schedules Direct, and I'm suddenly missing two channels, ESPN and ESPN2. They used to be there, but I'm not 100% sure how long they've been gone. Here's a snippet my log from when I ran an EPG update:

623 should be ESPN, and 624 is ESPN2. They're listed as available in the HDHomeRun, as far as I can tell. I also have EPG123 in use with Windows Media Center and Schedules Direct, and it does still show 623 and 624 as available.
I also visited Schedules Direct to make sure the channels were still listed in their system, and they were. I figured I'd start here to troubleshoot this, and go where it takes me. I should also note that I haven't reviewed for any other missing channels yet. Any recommendations of how to resolve this?
I just recently installed NPVR mainly to watch live TV (recording would be a bonus). The channels and guide have successfully loaded but I am not able to connect to and channels. They only thing out of the ordinary I altered, I believe, is the recording and buffering directories as I don't want them being stored on my main SSD. Please see attached for my zipped logs. Any help would be appreciated!
I bought a second hand HD PVR 2 GE Plus ages ago and only now have I got around to trying it. I plugged it all in, downloaded the drivers, rebooted and voila - added a channel and it worked! So I then set up a load more channels and left it to do it's thing. I watched live TV a few times, it recorded a couple of times and then at some point last night the PC went to sleep. It crashed on restart and has been very sick ever since.
With the HD PVR 2 connected via USB there were times when I couldn't even get it to boot to BIOS! Even unplugging it there was nothing on the screen which remained in standby mode. Eventually with the HD PVR unplugged and various cards/memory etc removed I got it to boot. Slowly adding everything back got me back to where I was before all this started. I rebooted multiple times and all good. Then I take a punt and plug the HD PVR back in, found some later drivers on the US site, rebooted and it all goes pear shaped again - not even the bios screen. So I went through the tear down and rebuild again and managed to rescue it.
So, to cut an even longer story short, I think this HD PVR 2 has some issues. God knows what it was doing, power issues maybe? On the plus side I did manage to prove that the setup could work with my STB, channel changing, splitter removing HDCP etc. So the plan is to buy a new device to replace it. Which leads me to my actual question - which one? The Colossus 2 should fit my server and looks like it maybe the best option at £109. Is there a better option for the money (or less!)? Sub did hint that the rocket may help with HDCP - if that's the case then is that better?
I have my recurring programs setup. Currently I want to change my post padding minutes on all the recurring programs I already have.
I've changed the padding minutes in /settings/recording but it didn't affect my current recurring programs only new recordings.
Is there are way to automatically do it or am I going to have to export my recurring and import after I manually change the padding minutes in the xml? Also, if I have to do it that way am I going to need to delete my recurrings before I import the xml?
<If they should have changed after I changed my padding minutes in settings let me know and I will upload my logs>
I am running Kodi 17.6 on windows 10, NextPVR V.4.0.5 on the same machine.
I came across this post when I was googling the same exact problem. I have been using IPTV simple client in Kodimfor some time and it works ok..the only problem is that there is no time shift and recording. I started researching some of the backends which will enable such features and I found NextPVR. As a standalone, NextPVR works just fine. But I d like to integrate it with Kodi, so I thought Id try the NextPVR add-on which will work as a front end.
The problem then arised, as soon as I enable the NextPVR add-on, I get :
"PVR Manager is Starting Up 0%"
"Loading Channels From Clients"
Then Kodi would crash few sec after.
I tried all I could all the way up to complete deleting Kodi and reinstalling from scrtach a fresh copy with new user folder. Same problem.
I can access the web interface from 192.168.0.10:8866 without a problem.
I read on a similar post that number of channels might be the problem since I have about 2000 channels, , so I deleted about 1500 channels and only left 500. Again, same exact problem. Kodi starts, the PVR client try to load channels from client, 1 or 2 sec later, Kodi crashes.
The only way to get back into Kodi is to terminate the Nrecord.exe process form the task manager then load Kodi again and disable the NextPVR addon.
I would really love to get this to work, so any help is highly appreciated.
I am attaching my debugging log file, Kodi crash log, and Kodi stacktrace files
