I have SD set to update my epg at 4:15 am along with my IPTV xml update. This is not happening and I'm neither recording or watching IPTV at that time. I'm wondering if it's because once I watch or record an IPTV channel the record indicator light down not go off and NPVR thinks something is recording when nothing actually is. Is there a way the next version of NPVR could correct this problem? Also, although I know they're different tuners, any time I'm recording both an IPTV and a cable channel simultaneously, the cable channel is unwatchable. The IPTV recording will be fine. I believe I've sent samples of this before. I can watch an IPTV recording with no effect on a recording cable channel. Any chance this can be corrected?
Hi. On the MISC tab, I have set my Buffer Directory to a location on my D drive. This is because my C drive is Solid State and does not always have a ton of space.
I just noticed that when I run Live TV from the NextPVR IOS Client, the associated temporary files are on C anyway, specifically in C:\Users\Public\NPVR\web\temp.
I suppose I could set a symbolic link from this directory to a location on the D Drive, but is there a right way to prevent this from happening?
I am still having problems with missed recordings. The latest instance was a program scheduled to record last night (2018-02-08) at 21:00. If I look in the "What's New" page it reports "Recording Service Not Running at Recording Time" for that program and one scheduled earlier in the day. The last successful recording was on the 7th at 21:57-23:00 which seemed to have recorded OK (the output file is fine) but against which NPVR shows "Recording service was stopped during recording".
Obviously something happened towards the end of that program which caused the recording service to crash, and it didn't restart until I rebooted the PC last night.
I have had a look in the logs but I can't make sense of the cause. The only error I can see in the timeslot for the program on 2018-02-07 is in NRecord.log.1, and seems to relate to downloading FanArt, but that shouldn't have stopped the recording and there are other similar instances earlier:
Code:

There is an error a couple of hours earlier in the log which looks a bit more serious, but I can't understand what it's saying:
Code:

I am trying to move my recordings to a new disk. I went to settings and clicked Export Recordings. Then moved the files to the new drive. Then edited recording-backup.xml, replacing all the drive letters. Then I tried to Import Recordings and it said 0 recordings imported. Did I miss a step? Do I need to clear out the database somehow?
Thanks.
Now that the UK DVB-T 700Mhz clearance has started and we are all going to have to re-tune several times over the next year or two - what is the best way to rescan (in NPVR) after mux frequency changes.
I seem to remember i have previously deleted all the channels on the muxes that were changing frequency and then re-scanning with the new tuning ini and adding only the channels required. (lot of dross on UK freeview) followed by checking recurring recordings etc.
Another option which after all these years would be to export the recordings and recurring recording, delete the db and start again.
Hello there - new to forum - in the process of finding an alternative backend for FTA TV from my MCE/Win7/6 DVB-T tuner/ 1Gb cabled setup here in Sydney, Australia. Clients are all Kodi - 17.6 - running on Pi/MiBox/FireTV/Win10/Minix U9. I've set up a testbed Win10 rig with NextPVR and a single tuner, pointed a Client to it and using a Webgrabplus+ scraped guide. Works fine so far...
Rather than testing each and every scenario before switching I hope you guys can answer a couple of Q's I have..
1) I read about NextPVR being able to extract multiple streams from a single tuner locked in on a given frequency. MCE cannot do that. Does that mean that if there are 5 frequencies that I want to use I can cover those with 5 tuners - each of which can be recording one or more streams at the same time?
2) what capacity would a Win10/i3/8GB rig have in terms of concurrent recording and streaming?? My current rig often records 6 streams in parallel will serving a couple of playback streams at the same time - from the same HW using Win7/MCE.
3) NextPVR is capable of writing to a file server rather than local storage - great feature, MCE cannot. How does that work with multiple streams an time shifting?? Running GigE so network should not really be an issue - any other bottlenecks??
4) Does CC (closed caption - australian way) work?? If not, any way of extracting from the .TS file?
4) any gotcha's I should be aware of?? Planning to run a Kodi Client and WebGrabplus+ on the same box with recorded TV onto the file server.
I think I've seen this issue discussed before but cannot find it.
Of the four programs I'd scheduled for recording last night, 2/5/18, one recorded OK while the other three recorded for only one second. Each of these programs has one minute of pre- and post-padding.
CBS 8pm Supergirl - 1 second of pre-padding
FOX 8pm Lucifer - 1 second of pre-padding
TNT 9pm The Alienist - OK
CBS 10pm Scorpion - 1 second of pre-padding
And again this morning(no pre-/post-padding):
CMT 7am-9am - 1-second
Tuner is the Hauppauge DCR-3250 Triple Tuner. It was suggested that I re-boot the tuner but that didn't fix the problem.
The log looks normal except for the "glitch" about no tuner available(NRecord.log 2018-02-05 20:59:00.195) yet recording "stops" just one second later for those three programs. I had installed the latest versions of NPVRWriter.ax and NPVRTSReader4.ax that morning. These recordings are scheduled to record after I have signed off.
I had run a test of padding by recording back-to-back (5-min manual)programs on three different channels while watching live TV. That all worked.
Is there a thread resolving this problem? Is there a way to monitor or log what NRecord is receiving at any given time? Where is the data going?:confused:
Hi, I have Nextpvr running on a win7 pc. Whenever I try to resume a recorded free to air program Nextpvr freezes and I have to kill it to continue. Have included the log Zip. Would appreciate any help in curing this problem. thanks....
NPVR is crashing quite a bit on my system. It will crash while watching a recorded program, while fast forwarding or rewinding or while watch a non recorded program. When it crashes during a recorded program, sometimes when I restart that program over again it will crash in the exact same point, other times it goes right past the point where it crashed with out a problem. I can also use the mouse or remote to skip over that part, It happens for shows on different channels but is particularly bad on one channel in-particular. Sometimes I have to use ctrl + alt + del to close the program, sometimes Windows closes it, sometimes I am presented with a dialog box to close to program. This happens in the latest version as well as the previous version.
I have thought about reformatting but think that would be to much trouble, but will do so if that is what it takes.
Is this a known issue and if so is a fix available or planned?
