I am getting pixilated video on all channels for a new service I am trying. Random free IPTV sites look fine. Both services work well in VLC and also plays fine on an AppleTV 4 App.. I have played with all the decoder options but that does not seem to be the issue. The only difference in the two streams is the size and quality of the video. See attached screenshots and the relevant section of the log file. If you want the full logs let me know and I will add them.

Thanks for the assistance.

I've been having this problem for a while, sporadically. The default recording settings are to stop 3 minutes after the EPG's end time. However, some recordings actually end several minutes before the EPG's end time instead. I haven't been able to determine the problem and no error messages have appeared anywhere. Yesterday, two shows had this problem - "Scorpion" and "A Very Pentatonic Christmas". Looking at the ndigitalhost-20.log.1 I see the start and stop end of these recordings and the stop times are incorrect compared to those shown in the Nrecord.log.1 file, which is correct per the EPG. I hope someone can help me fix this issue.

I am using Kodi 17 to schedule recordings and NPVR 4.0.4 (170820) with 2 Happaugh recorders along with Windows 10 Home creator's update.

I am just starting down the road with NPVR and Kodi as a front-end. However, I find the Kodi interface a bit fussy and I like the cleaner, simpler NPVR screens so am thinking of just using NPVR. BUT, whilst I can get live TV via Kodi, when I try in NPVR, most of the time I get a black screen and no sound, not always, sometimes it works. I have tried LAV and ffshow decoders but still have the issue.
Any thoughts/suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks,
Stanno

Last week my recordings no longer had a timeline at the bottom of the screen. Instead it was the program description. From what I recall it was about the same time as I installed Google Chrome as my internet browser. That can't possibly be related can it?

In a rush to free up space tonight I deleted an entire series we hadn't gotten round to watching and doing it via NPVR is a bit tedious when you have 20 recordings to delete so I did it through explorer. Will NPVR eventually pick up the missing files and clean up the recordings list or am I going to have to still delete them manually?

No a biggie but I've been down this road before when we realise the 1TB is filling up and have to go through and do a purge.

Had a bunch of recordings fail due to lack of disk space. Found one freak recording that was 125GB and made the wife go through and she found 200GB of stuff she didn't need

I had setup a second recordings folder on another drive but you can only set it to choose the drive with the most space - What about having a failover that it will record to if there is too little space on the primary.

My main recording space is on a 2 drive stripe to help it cope with multiple records symeltaneous without throughput issues. The OS drive has 700GB free but being a single drive I only want to use it in the even of otherwise missing recordings.

I'm not too bothers as TV is so bloody crap these days there are only about two series on Free to air TV I actually want to watch but happy wife happy life

Hi all, I'm utilizing live TV in Emby with the nextPVR plugin. I pulled EPG data from zap2it with the following command (manual execution of this specific command file):

[code=nocode:0]C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Scripts\zap2xml.exe -o C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Scripts\epg.xml -u XXXXXXX -p YYYYYYY -d 7 -S 1 -D -A "new live" -E "amp apos quot lt gt" –F
[/code]

That should have pulled 7 days of data, correct? But in Emby and in nextPVR, even after I've restarted nextPVR, there is only one hour of data showing. Any particular steps to follow before submitting a log? Thank you.

Hi folks,

I installed nextpvr to use with emby, and i have a problem where the NPVR service stops randomly and needs to be manually started again. This occurs when using emby as the front end, through kodi, and also just using the nextpvr player itself. It happens with quite a high frequency, and makes the server nearly unusable as a PVR. Could someone point me in the direction of a fix for this issue or help me troubleshoot what might be causing this? I'm using the latest release on windows 10 x64, and I'm using an m3u IPTV service. All channels come in clearly and buffering is not a big issue.

I've attached my log directory. I also am wondering if it is possibly related to the decoders I'm using. Is there a preferred decoder configuration for all codecs, such as LAV, or is it best only to use the Microsoft codec for stability? (or is this even related to this particular problem?)

One thing I've noticed is a 'graph stopping...' message at the end of the log file when the crash occurs, but I don't know how to troubleshoot that error.

Thanks

EDIT: I also noticed that a crash.mdmp file was requested in another thread that might be related, so I've attached that file as well.

Hi all, I've got a channel that I'm trying to watch (18.9). It shows up fine in the HDHR app inside Windows, but when trying to view on NextPVR in its own application or via Emby it does not load anything. Logs attached. Thank you.

EDIT: Also to add, I am able to watch other channels in nextPVR.

Hi there,

I'm currently looking to build a whole house DVR using a mini pc running NextPVR and hdhomerun as a tuner. I order to minimise costs by cutting the PC performance, can someone tell me which device is technically recording the stream between the hdhomerun and the running PC? (i.e. which one is working hard on cpu usage).

thanks!
