So, I recorded a marathon of All in the family, and as it so happens I'll need to record some episodes over. However, since the program was recorded the first time, nextpvr doesn't seem to want to record it again.
Where is the recording cache or a setting that will allow it to start recording episodes it has already recorded?
I don't know how anyone else feels but I would like to see an automatic backup option in the MISC options that rolls config.xml and npvr.db3 for 5 days like what happens to the logs.
Just a simple input field of what directory you want it backed up to. In my case it's going to external drive g:\npvrbackup
I added some code to run in my PostUpdateEPG.bat file but it might be something to consider in the next update by default.
I included a "mock up" with the feature added.
Although it would be nice if it could be done automatically in a zipped file.
Code:

I had the "Live TV - black screen, no sound" problem which was fixed by shutting down and reinstalling. However, I still have an issue with the web interface. No matter how I try to access it (localhost:8866, titan:8866, 127.0.0.1:8866, 192.168.0.6:8866, 192.168.0.26:8866) I get:

Below is my batch file. To be clear I modified a batch file from the NPVR wiki created by javawiz. I use it to specify different ini files for different channels. I want to have an ini for football games. I often watch one game live while recording another and it would be great to have the commercials processed when I watch the second game. The channel specific ini are ok but the football specific one does a better more reliable job on detecting show vs commercial. However, when I remove the REM for the football if statement all I get is notification the recording is complete and comskip is NOT run on the file no matter what type of program I record.
I was contemplating using the same approach to having show specific ini but now it seems my approach doesn't work or at least I don't know how to make it work. Also below is the log, I've been recording random shows for testing purposes but the make a change wait 30-60 minutes and see if it works approach isn't going so well so I am asking for help.
Thanks,
Craig

I am having excellent success in using X-NEWA on two of my Android devices, a Samsung tablet and a Motorola cellphone. Live TV in HD is wonderful!(on the local LAN so far...)
But both devices exhibit the same issue with the TV Guide: The guide does show only the channels that are in the channel group I've set in Settings. But if use the up or down sweep gesture, it seems that I can only view the first and last pages and nothing in between. This behavior is the same regardless of the channel group.
Is this a bug? Am I doing something wrong?
Also, is there some way to change channels directly using keypad input?
Hi
I'm trying to stream digital radio to kodi using npvr.
by far I can only stream digital tv. the digital radio is the same frequency as the digital tv (514000)
every time I try to access the stream, I get the following message:
Streaming Failed (transcoder exited) - on the npvr localhost
Kodi is crashing everytime
how can I fix this?
I have the following decoders:
LAV Audio decoder, ffdshow audio decoder, PDR MPEG Muxer, Microsoft DTV-DVD Audio decoder, MPEG Audio decoder
On my videos menu I have 9 video sources defined, some on local hard drive, some on network hard drives and some on local USB hard drives. Because I use USB3 hard drives this menu loads slowly as the hard drives usually have to spin up before the menu is displayed.
Can this delay be eliminated in some manner perhaps by caching the key information, e.g. folder.jpg, etc. at NextPVR startup? Perhaps I should be able to specify in the config that a particular video source should be cached because its slow?
I frequently use the videos menu and there is usually a significant delay before it is displayed whenever I need to switch between video sources, even if I am not using the USB3 disk drive.
Hey sub how come there option to use Schedules Direct for setup ATSC tuner in stead of pull the EPG off the tuner which as you know is a bit limited to 24 hour
Hi,
I need to do a completely new install, I've tried to uninstall and then reinstall but my channel list has remained so I am unable to refresh those settings.
Is there a simple way of starting from scratch or how do I manually delete these settings?
I managed to get nextpvr functioning just fine on one of my PCs but the other one is proving awkward.
I think this may involve a database, if so how do I delete that file?
Thak you in advance
