At home, I have my TV trough a satellite dish (really not sure what is the technical name). I have a AverMedia tuner card installed in my computer. I currently have the television working via S-Video input from the PVR, but it has several downsides that make it almost a pain to use. First, the computer can't switch channels by itself, so we have to use the TV remote to switch, and the latency is horrible (good 5 sec between when I press a button and appearing on screen). I would love to directly plug the cable to the computer, bypassing the PVR. The first part is easy, the cable is currently plugged to the card, but I can't get it to work. Could someone help me getting it setup, telling me which type of signal that I should use (Analog, ATSC, QAM...), or tell me if it is possible at all to do what I want? Oh, if it changes something, I live in Canada.

Hi All,

I have a question about the bulk map feature. I am sure I am just overlooking something, but, I wanted to run this by the community to see what it is I am doing wrong

I have 3 devices in NPVR. I have an HD Homerun Prime, A Happauge 1212 PVR and an Happauge Dual USB Tuner

I use Schedules Direct for my listings. I have 3 lineups. I use Local Over the air broadcast, Direct TV, and Comcast

The other night, I needed to add my HD Homerun device (Just got one recently). When I added it, there were 336 new stations that I had to point to Schedules Direct/Comcast. So, I had 2 choices, map each and every one , one by one, or do a Bulk map. I chose the Bulk map.

Here is the issue I hit though. When using bulk map, I was able to point the HD Homerun to Schedules Direct, but, there was no option (that i was able to see) to tell Schedules Direct to use the comcast lineup (and ignore the Direct TV and local over the air lineups).

What happened was Schedules direct (I think) used the direct TV lineup and all of my comcast channels were mapped wrong. i wound up deleting all channels, deleting the Schedules Direct lineups (all but the comcast one) and added the HD homerun prime only.

So I am in the process of re-adding my other 2 devices. Is there a way to tell Bulk map to look at a particular lineup?

Any amount of help anyone can give me will be greatly appreciated

Currently I have 610 recurring recordings and I want to rearrange them so that they're grouped by channel so that finally NextPVR will record back-to-back shows on the same tuner.

However, given the shear number, it just isn't practical to use the Ctrl + Left-Arrow / Ctrl + Right-Arrow method in the UI.

Is there an alternate way in the UI or a way I can do it in a text file in order to group them by channel?

I want to stop NextPVR from losing the post-padding so often, which more often than not loses part of the end of the show, or at least part of the end credits.

I'm hoping I could simply do it with the daily exported recurring recording XML file and simply re-import the recordings in the correct order, because then I can just write external software to read, rearrange, and rewrite the file. However, I need to know in advance if that will work.

If writing external software will work, then where can I find the schema for the exported recurring recording XML file? I want to make sure that the software doesn't miss any data fields.

For some reason I have had poor luck running any version of NPVR since 3.9. Any of the newer versions have not time skipped correctly, even with the patch files. I managed to get it to function better by checking the box to use legacy TSreader, but even then it would occasionally freeze during playback and would have to ctrl-alt-del to kill it. NPVR record service would occasionally stop and miss some shows also. Do you think it is a hardware issue on my aging win10 computer? Perhaps the video card, since it is now in legacy status and AMD is no longer making updated drivers for it?

I'm running Win10 x64 Pro V1703
AMD Phenom II X4 3.2ghz
8gb ram
AMD Radeon HD 6670
Avermedia A188C tuner cards

Between 1700 and 1830 on 11-23-2018 I was watching Lucifer and the system hung and NextPvr locked up. Had to kill it using task manager then restart. Did it a couple of times hung in the same place. Sometimes occurs randomly, but most of the time it works great. Attached are the logs.

Deleted this post and opened new post with Log files attached. Couldn't find a Delete Message icon.

I have a Radeon 7870 2GB GPU with default clocks at 1100 GPU/1250 Memory running the latest AMD drivers with WIN10 64-bit. When the system is idle the GPU runs at 300 and memory at 150 clocks. Whenever I start a live TV feed in NextPVR the GPU clock goes to 1000 and memory to 1200. After closing NextPVR the GPU drops back to 450 but memory stays at 1200 permanently and when running other video apps or games memory stays at 1200 and GPU goes back to only 1000. I'm unable to change the clocks even with AMD overdrive and have to restart my system to get the clocks to act normally again. Any idea what is going on with this?

I just recently noticed that the "new" tag shown of the TV Guide doesn't show up on a client. Only the "Prem" tag. Guide on the server shows everything nicely. Is their a folder involved that I may have clobbered?

The area around the back of my TV is a veritable mass of cables; HDMI, Ethernet, Google Chromecast, even some old RCAs.
The worst issue though is the Power Bricks on 8 or 10 plug extension boards. Horrible.

Has anyone tried to use PoE with a splitter to power e.g. the PCH-A110 (12V, 3A, 2.5mm Centre Positive, OD 5.5mm/ID 2.5mm).
Or any other of the Client Boxes out there? I know you might be replacing them with PoE Splitters which are ugly too but I could at least hide these close to the devices. My server lives upstairs, wired Ethernet cable (Cat. 5E) down through the wall.

I also have a 5 port umanaged switch (Linksys G205) [Power 12W max. and 12V @ 1.0A DC input Power consumption (max) GS205: 3.56W]. Would PoE run that too?

If so do folks have 802.311at Switches/Injectors? Or the lower Power 802.311af ones?

Any feedback welcome!

Cheers

Hi all

I am looking at a small project that would likely see NPVR used with abotut 3 Hauppauge HD PVR Rocket (USB things). I use KODI normally, however it seems kinda redundant to use NPVR to capture the streams then stream it to a KODI client when i could just use NPVR as the server and client(s).

However this raises a question about skinning, can i show a capture source in a "section" on the skin, playing, like a smaller window somewhere. Ive posted a beta design image, your see the section to the right (lighter color), the location i would want the media playing from one of the above HDPVR Rocket units.
