I have been messing around with NVPR again, after using TVH for about the last 8/mo. I have NPVR setup with my IPTV provider, and everything seems to work great through the WebUI, including EPG data. I would try the iOS app, but it wont even load on my new iphone. But the big show stopper is Kodi isnt working with NPVR. it gets stuck at 0% on "loading channels from clients" for about 5min and does nothing.
I attached the zipped logs. Before I zipped the logs, I rebooted the PC where NPVR in installed, then loaded the webui from a different machine, and played a channel. I then stopped the stream and opened kodi on the same machine i accessed the webui from.
Hi all and happy new year
After reading a fair while it looks like you can't get live TV and EPG to a Telstra TV box (which is a modified Roku box)
You can get into developer mode to add an app and most people are using PLEX after a lot of setting up.
Does anyone know if there is a client for NPVR to use with the Telstra box much like the one we used to use with the popcorn A100.
I don't really care about setting up recording as I can do that on the PC anyway.
Thanks so much
Dave
One can get a list of All Channels by: /GuideService/Channels.
One can get a list of channel groups by: /GuideService/ChannelGroups. But this only return the name of groups and does not include a "All Channels" group name or the channels that make up the group.
It seems that the only way to get the channels in the Channel Group Name is to /GuideService/Listing with the param: 'chnlgroup' set to one of the entries the Channel Group. But since this a Guide listing, one would have to parse through the data looking for channel information and extracting that data.
Am I missing something? Is there a easier way to get a list of channels associated with a Channel Group other than the "All Channels" group.
I was going down the route of having a HTPC connected to my UHD TV in my family room but for various reasons I think I'm going to abandon this approach and purchase a streaming box (probably a Nvidia Shield) to connect to the TV. I would purchase some other less expensive extender for my other HD TV.
My hardware:
Windows 10 PC with Hauppauge WinTV-quadHD tuner card, USB 2.0 ports, 10/100 Ethernet.
Router with gigabit ports
WD My Cloud (Personal Storage - has gigabit ports and USB 3.0 ports for expansion)
3TB USB 3.0 hard drive that I would dedicate for media storage
My goal is that the system, once set up, is easy to use and has quick response when viewing TV and recorded media (switching channels, pause, fast forward, etc).
I would also like to minimize the time the Windows 10 PC is running so it needs to be able to sleep but wake when needed.
My understanding is the Windows 10 PC would need to be the server since it has the tuner card, correct?
My preference would be for the Shield to be the server with the hard drive connected to it if possible.
And (of course) I'd prefer not to buy any more hardware other than the clients (at least for the time being).
Thanks in advance for your input
I have found a small problem when I watch live TV on NPVR.
If I wish to change channels while watching live TV and press the up or down key on the keyboard, up pops the onscreen program guide but after I select the channel I want to watch and hit the Return Key I receive an unhandling exception error, with the following message;
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Does anyone know how to fix this, I tried reinstalling NPVR over the existing installation and all the plugins, but that did not seem to work.
I really do not want to uninstall and spend all the time setting up a new clean installation.
I have a recurring recording setup but nothing has new has been recorded since November 3. I do currently have 169 episodes of that show already recorded. Will NextPVR not record an episode if it sees it is already has that episode in "inventory"?
If not? What could the reason that nothing new has been recorded in two months? I have deleted and added the recording several times. I have also uninstalled, deleted the program directory and installed the last version of NextPVR.
I have Kodi 17.3 on my Amazon Fire TV box, an HDHomerun (HDHR4-2US) connected to my network (and the app installed on my Fire TV box), and NextPVR running 24/7 on my Windows 10 x64 machine. Everything including DVR works fine in Kodi. Is it possible to display icons for each channel, and to make the show tiles larger? They are too small for me to see the description in most cases unless I highlight each one.
Hi Sub,
You said I could drop my questions here.. (Peter88 from Kodi forum)
I have already tried several times before to use NextPVR without success.
I have just re installed it. On its own it is getting channels, no sound yet but that can wait, EPG doesn't seem to be working yet.
I am now trying to link to Kodi.
First thing is what is the 'host name'. I know it is meant to be my machine, but how do I find the IP or whatever I need to enter in this part?
