Hello Guys,

I am trying to play a publicly available stream which works in both VLC and WMP.
https://clb.cdn.bg/bnt1/fls/bntW.stream/...020b4b3c58 (http://tv.bnt.bg/bntworld/)

I added the channel and the SOURCE URL, but when I try to play it in nPVR I get no video playback at all.
I only see "Please wait" for a fraction of the second and then nothing. There is nothing in the logs as well (all logs are attached).

Is this M3U stream (video codec is H264) supported?

I found the answer to a very frustrating problem and wanted to post it for others. I was having a problem where my Windows 10 PC would wake and start an UpdateEPG or a recording, but the PC would go to sleep after one minute. Here is an example of a failed UpdateEPG that was scheduled for 1:00 AM:

2018-01-16 01:00:05.048 [DEBUG][74] Resuming...
2018-01-16 01:00:05.817 [DEBUG][6] cycling MVP servers
2018-01-16 01:00:13.026 [DEBUG][9] Recording service noted the system was resuming...
2018-01-16 01:00:13.026 [DEBUG][9] No C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Scripts\Wakeup.bat

2018-01-16 03:44:01.044 [DEBUG][74] Resuming...

The UpdateEPG would complete when I would later press the power button in the morning. Recordings were similar:

2018-01-16 08:56:05.035 [DEBUG][28] Resuming...
2018-01-16 08:56:05.535 [DEBUG][6] cycling MVP servers
2018-01-16 08:56:12.842 [DEBUG][9] Recording service noted the system was resuming...
2018-01-16 08:56:12.842 [DEBUG][9] No C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Scripts\Wakeup.bat

but all my recordings reported "Recording service not running at recording time."

There is a hidden Windows 10 setting "System unattended sleep timeout" that was set to one minute. It appears NPVR did not start telling Windows 10 to "stay awake" in the first minute and the PC just went back to sleep.

I found this Windows Q&A that solved my problem: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/wind...52d?auth=1

I adjusted the setting to 10 minutes and this gave enough time for NPVR to start sending the "stay awake" messages to Windows 10. My PC then went to sleep 10 minutes after UpdateEPG or Recordings completed.

Hope this helps others as it took me a long time to solve this problem.

Hi,

I have the time shifting setting set to "EPG Based" in npvr so that when I hit record while watching live TV, I don't lose what I've watched so far. This doesn't seem to work in Kodi, as I painfully just discovered. It starts a new recording from the time I hit record.

I was surprised the behavior was different since I figured the recording service controlled all of this logic internally, and presumably the buffer file is there on disk when Kodi asks to record the same exact show that's being buffered and played. Can I force npvr to obey the timeshift setting when watching on a Kodi client?

I am trying out replacements for WMC as I was forced to move to W10 couple weeks ago. NextPVR was definitely the least painful to setup, but one major issue:

- When skipping forward or backward watching recorded or LIVE TV, often the video just continues (but not audio), and it jumps forward or backward by huge time. IOW, if I press skip forward twice to skip commercials say, often it gets stuck "fast forwarding" the video, and then stops say 20 minutes later in the video. I tried different MPEG2 decoders, all doing the same. Appreciate any help.

thanks

I am having trouble getting NextPVR set up on a new Windows10 PC, in particular the MPEG2 video decoder. I read that the Cyberlink decoder will work with NextPVR. I do have Cyberlink installed on my PC, so what is the MPEG2 video decoder file name that I should search for, and how do I configure NextPVR to use it?

My subscription IPTV includes on-demande channels (pre-recorded movie and TV series).

I have tried only briefly to Watch on-demand channels but that did not work (if I remember it crashed).

Is there support for this in NextPVR and if so how does it work ?

Hi,
I have a Hauppauge WinTV 850 USB tuner I am trying to use with Next PVR. After the latest Microsoft updates, I can no longer watch or record TV. HDTV over-the-air signals, The Hauppauge WinTV app works (ver 7).

Any ideas here? I tried every decoder my machine has (Microsoft, Hauppauge...).

Thanks

Hi I have great success so far using NextPVR as backend and front end (same instance).

However, I have trouble recording. My recordings stop after a few seconds or minutes.

I use : Windows 10, NetxPVR latest version, LAV audio/video decoders.

I suspect the decoders to be the source of the problem. When I change the audio decoder for Microsoft, it crashes frequently while using the application.

So I would like to have recommendations on which decoders to use for successful recording.

Also, changing channels while viewing (with the remote) crashes (exception window), and groups have to be remapped manually.

Finally is it possible to have no string displayed instead of (no show détails) ? It makes consultation of the guide very difficult when there are channels that dont have EPG.

Is there a guide for remote functions ? I have a Logitech harmony and would like to optimize it for DVBLink.

Thanks !

I want to use the Archive feature to move recordings to another drive, in order to free up space on my local drive for further recordings. However, once I select archive the files are still present on the original drive, taking up disk space. If I then delete the original file that is still present, then the archived version is also deleted. Is this normal behaviour? Am I able to move the recording some other way?

Thanks in advance.

Just curious as to why the stream below will play fairly well in VLC but is mostly unwatchable in NPVR. I added it to the IPTV tuner and selecdted H264 ts which is what the VLC codec paige said it was.

EDIT: ...SNIP...

I dropped my ACE subscription and am just playing around now (what can I say...I'm old, retired, and have a lot of time on my hands!)
