I am new to NextPVR and wanted to give it a try. I had endless trouble getting it to install on my Win 7 system, with different errors along the way, mainly 'unhandled exceptions'. I had to remove and reinstall several times before it finally started working. I only tried to use it on New Zealand FTA IPTV streams. At first it wouldn't play anything but eventually it started working. Not sure what made the difference. I just closed and restarted it a couple of times. I never tried the record functions, just getting it to play was already hard enough. It also had problems reading the EPG at first, though eventually that worked. I managed to play a couple of channels but then it started stuttering and I began getting 'capture device not found' errors. Finally it crashed with a Windows app crash error.
This program is a nice idea but I can't get it to work at all for me. I am attaching the log files folder for the benefit of anyone who wants to investigate this. I am not requesting support because the software just isn't worth the hassle for me. I should add that the IPTV streams I was trying to play are all solid and work reliably and well on Kodi IPTV simple client.
I have an m3u playlist provided by my IPTV provider which is not being parsed correctly by NextPVR and I am not sure why.
In the latest NVPR version, .mp4/mkv urls in the playlist end up in a folder called "On Demand". However, when I import the m3u playlist, a significant number of VOD movies don't appear in the "On Demand" folder.
Here is one that did:
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-id="" tvg-name="Mad Max Fury Road (2015)" tvg-logo="http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/G/01/imdb/images/logos/imdb_fb_logo-1730868325._CB514892123_.png" group-title="MOVIES",Mad Max Fury Road (2015)
Apologies if I did ask this before, I searched but could no find it.
Some time ago I changed my GBPVR then NPVR guide to have no spaces; I have been playing with the RPi2 as a client again and it works like my trusty PCH, but I cannot for the life of me find where in XNEWA I would adjust the Skin. I did use WinSCP and searched the whole root for such a file, but no joy.
What is odd is that the PCH Skin (Guide.xml) is adjusted by amending the Guide.xml file on the server; why doesn't it do the same for the Pi, just replicate what is on the server?
I see this in the NPVR log for my test box running 4.0.4:

PogoP21 and PogoMobile are audio players on my network that are served by Logitech Media Server running on another Pogoplug. I don't have a need for NPVR to interface with these devices (that I know of) and the log is full of these messages. I have not noticed this on my main box running 3.9.2. Is there a way to stop this?
NBC switched which Boston network broadcasts its programming from WHDH (7.1) to WBTS (8.1 and 60.5) and WYCN (15.1), none of which were included in my original channel scan. So, Using WinTV v8 I re-scanned my Hauppauge WinTV-dualHD ATSC Tuner and it found these new channels; in this software the device is labelled "WinTV-dual HD". I tried to update / import these channels into NPVR but have been unsuccessful; in setup / devices / device setup: the "scan" button just repeated the prior list of channels but did not include 8.1, 15.1 or 60.5. "Import channels" goes to a default filename of "channels-ATSC" and offers 3 irrelevant folders; there is no file in the WinTV folder named "channels-ATSC" to select. In setup / channels" I tried "update EPG" but it only returns the previously existing channels and does not find 8.1, 15.1 or 60.5. I was unable to find a solution in the "read me first" link in the forum, so I am writing for your help. What am I missing???
thanks,

After upgrading the Kodi app on my Amazon Fire TV (gen 2) to version 17.6, the NextPVR PVR Client add-on no longer works. Every time I start up Kodi, I get the following message:
Add-on couldn't be loaded. An unknown error has occurred.
I have attached the logs from both Kodi and NextPVR to this thread. I started up Kodi shortly after 1:20pm CST, so around 13:20 should be where the error is in the logs. Hopefully the logs can help figure you figure out what exactly is going wrong with Kodi.
However, just to be thorough, I remember reading in another thread a while ago about how you could run NRecord.exe in the command line with an argument that allowed it to output debugging information to the command line, but I can't remember what that argument is or what thread I read it in.
So, what are the possible command line arguments for NRecord.exe?
They aren't in the pinned read-me-first thread, but they probably should be. I want to know so that I can check the command line and see if any additional data about my problem could be found there.
EDIT: Oops, I forgot there was a dedicated sub-forum for problems with Kodi. Hopefully a mod can move this thread over there if necessary.
I've attached my long. My issue is that I go into Bulk Mapping, and after I have setup all the mappings, and hit OK, if I go back into Bulk Mapping, all the channels are back at their previous settings. I'm using Schedule Direct, and HDHomeRun Prime. The automapping isn't quite getting all of the channels right, seems to be matching by name, not the channel number, which is accurate to the lineup.
The strange thing, is if I go into details, the channel seems to be mapped properly, so I don't know which is correct. I think all this is also throwing the EPG off in Kodi, as channels are mismapped as well.
Recently, there has been several channels changes in both OTA and via my cable provider. I went ahead and added new channel icons (corresponding to new channels) to nextpvr. The icons of the new channels appeared as expected in nextpvr.
However, when I went to update my Kodi clients using my established method of deleting all the icons out of the /user/...../userdata/addon_data/pvr.nextpvr folder and restarting Kodi - only the original channel icons from the older channels were loaded - the newly added channels icons were not added to the Kodi client.
Did something change with Kodi? Am I remembering something incorrectly? Where am I going wrong?
For me, the thread created by harry in Bulgaria has a #2 and #3 post but does not have a #1 post ... Plus the "New Posts" list shows ... Last Post: Today 09:13 AM by harry ... and this "Last Post" is not being displayed.
This is all very trivial and only gets a mention because it might be a symptom of a bigger problem.[URL="https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?60044-Can-t-play-any-m3u-IPTV-channels&p=520710#post520710"] [/URL]
