In a TV recording, the first 2 or 3 show clips are fine, but sometimes by the time it skips to the 4th clip the sound is OK but the video looks like it is fast-forwarding through the commercial instead of being in-sync with the soundtrack which it correctly skipped to.

What causes this, and if I can, how can I correct it?

All of a sudden some of my channels are a problem. When I change to a bad channel I get an unhandled exception, npvr locks up and have to kill the process. Recordings on these channels are a problem too. The files are recorded and they play fine with other players, but when played with npvr it locks up and I have to kill the process.

Is this a decoder/renderer problem all of a sudden? Logs are attached.

Thanks

Fast Forward and Rewind act more line Skip Forward and Skip Back. They go for a bit and then the program resumes playing after going forward/rewind for several seconds. Sometimes the sound keeps going as it was before the fast forward/rewind. I need to push some other transport keys to recover. The results are the same using a remote, keyboard, or on screen keys. Skip Forward and Back work fairly well but sometimes the video plays in slow motion for a few seconds or stops until I hit the key again. This appears to be preventing Comskip from working correctly also. I can see the black bars on the timeline bar and they correctly identify where the commercials are. But I experience similar issues when the program attempts to skip the commercials. Sometimes the program sound skips correctly but the picture is stuck in slow or fast motion for a few minutes. And sometimes the program just proceeds into the commercials.
I'm running Windows 10 and my recordings are on NAS. However, I get similar results in Live TV being buffered to my C drive.
Thanks for any help.

Recently, I changed out my old Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1800, which I had been using in a Vista 32bit HTPC system for a number of years successfully, for a new WinTV-quadHD. I got everything set up, used WinTV v8 to get the latest drivers and, having a little trouble, got it to work so that I could watch TV. Unfortunately, shortly thereafter, NextPVR TV Guide decided not to update. I use the DVB/ATSC EPG which has worked fine for me, other than never auto updating. Presently I have it set for 4 AM and since the day I set it, it has never worked.

I have attached some logs which I hope will be helpful. I hope someone can help me as I really want to be able to watch one program and record another or maybe both

Just upgraded to 4.0.5 and now my channel changing isn't working with IR Server Suite. It's been solid for years. Have tested it with the IRSS software and it's blasting correctly.

Any ideas? Logs attached. I've just tried changing to channels 53 and 52 respectively, both channels which should call the IRSS channel change.

Trying out an IPTV service. Got the video to work fine with 4.0.4 but the XMLTV info didn't work. So I updated to 4.0.5 and now the info works fine, but when trying to play a channel the video shows for about 1 second and then NextPVR crashes.

Included log zip in case it helps.

Just curious, since my HDTV tuners aren't used during IPTV recordings. How many simultaneous recordings can I have with the IPTV service? I assume there has to be some kind of limit. I've had two going at once.

This is the third time i've tried to record 'con man', little 15 minute shows of the guys from Serenity movie spoof.
it always starts recording, i see prime's tuner working, and when i go to play file, it appears nowhere like it never recorded!?
odd messages in logs:
2017-12-13 04:59:01.282 [DEBUG][9] Started recording (174277:57:\mpg\Con Man\Con.Man.S01E08.Voiced.Over.ts)

p: path is a regular hard drive, working fine..
attaching logs..

there's another recording coming up tomorrow, so i deleted all con mans from 'recently deleted' list just in case..
tho i notice there's entries in there for episodes i haven't even seen available, much less recorded and deleted?

Hi All
I've been having an issue with most of the channels in the guide no longer populating data. There are some that have data but it follows no rhyme or reason as far as channel groups go. It seems to have started since i changed my epgCollector xml guide data back to EIT as Freeview Australia has stopped supplying MHEG5 guide data as of the 27/11, but i'm not convinced this issue is related. Using epgCollector as guide data source has always worked pretty well. I have checked the TV Guide.xml file created and it has data for all the channels and looks readable and some of these channels are being poplulated in NextPVR.
I should mention i was on 4.04 and i tried upgrading to 4.05 with no change, i have deleted all the channels for all tuners and re-scanned, deleted the EPG and rebuilt, still no change am also windows 10, but don't think its relevant.
Heres a screenshot of what the tvGuide page looks like and the TV Listings plugin page.

I have attached logs and the TVGuide xml (zipped) created by epgCollector. Looking at the logs in NextPVR it appears it can read all the data but has an issue saving the database??

Hopefully someone can help me..

On 4.0.5, upon a channel change (hdpvr2) nPVR seems to erroneously try to render audio as AAC even though its AC3. I get the "you dont have an AAC decoder" message and no audio.

Logs attached. sub, I can get you access to the box if that would help. I think AC3 support is quite brittle and has been for a while now. If I force the hdpvr2 to re-encode as stereo in AAC then everything works great, but losing surround sound is a deal breaker.
