I was wondering if there was a way to edit episodes list that NPVR has already recorded. I have a couple of episodes that didn't record properly and would like to record again as a reoccurring recording. Is there an xml file I can alter or another way of doing this.

The new 4K UHD HDR TVs are really getting interesting. Does anyone know of issues trying to use NextPVR to record 4K content?

In the new version, and previous version, I cannot view any HD channels, it just goes to a black screen when trying to use the new TS reader (logs attached, I tried to tune to BBC News HD at about 11.30pm).
So back to legacy TS reader for me...

Noticed that my Hauppauge remote was not working, then it was, then again it was not!
Turns out that if I start NextPVR with the green button on the remote, all remote buttons work fine. But if I start it from the device status button in the tray, the remote will not work. Most odd. I wondered if the green button was starting a different version of NextPVR but both ways show version 4.0.4 (171121) in settings...

NextPVR has been working really well for me in recent months, but I still had some weird issues described in other threads. So I eagerly installed the latest update today hoping it would fix those issues, but it unfortunately introduced some crashes I hadn't previously seen.

Specifically, if there are some moments of poor reception in the broadcast, NextPVR now has a high chance of crashing, instead of just freezing / processing for a second before it continues. Those same video files play back fine in VLC without crashes, instead just showing some video artifacts at those moments of poor reception.

I've collected and attached my logs. The crashes happened on two different videos:

Watching Saturday Night Live around timestamp 2017-11-20 20:00-ish
Watching NFL game around timestamp 2017-11-20 21:20-ish


Thanks so much for your help! Let me know if there's other information I can provide.

I have been experiencing a problem w/ NPVR service for a few weeks. All my clients will work for a day, maybe two then they all fail.
I get the message in Kodi: "NextPvr client: Add-on could not be loaded. An unknown error has occurred."

I have clients on in three separate systems:
1) Windows 10 (kodi 17.6)
2) Pi (RASPBIAN STRETCH) (Kodi 17.5)
3) Nvidia Sheild. (kodi 17.6)

I am running the NPVR Service on Windows 10.
After some inspection I have found that the service is no longer running (image posted)
However it is still in the system tray. (image posted)
The NPVR "device status" show no tuners. (image posted)

The only log that jumps out at me is: "2017-11-20 07:27:59.729 [DEBUG][1] Parent appears to have exited. Host exiting."
I have posted the ndigitalhost-20.log here: https://pastebin.com/BheFgCkX

Let me know if there are any other logs you need to see.

After i start/restart the service everything works again... but not very long.


Version: 4.0.4 (170820)

Any help is appreciated!

Yesterday and many other days over the past few months the recording service does not appear to start properly with windows. A reboot does the trick, but it is odd. I am thinking of doing a clean install, although my DVR PC is now almost 9 years old and I loath the idea of wiping it all to start again. Any help would be appreciated.

Two other issues, if I can find them in the logs I will start threads for each, is at times an error is thrown wile watching a recording and I have to restart the recording service or computer to fix it. Third, compskip will jump back to a previous point in a show usually in the last detected segment.

As usual, Microsoft's latest "update" has jacked-up something. I have NPVR installed on a Win10 PC that hosts a Fire TV running the SPMC branch of Kodi. After the update I can not get an NPVR connection. I am connecting to the host Win10 PC as I am able to watch any of the movies or tv shows stored on it. I just can't get NPVR to connect. I've restarted everything and confirmed my connection settings on the client side are correct.

Any ideas?

There have been other reports of this but I could not find them ... so we have a new thread.

I get glitches in recording due to reception problem. Sometimes, playback of recordings starts to fast-forward "automatically" without any button press. I assume that the "fast-forwarding" is due to a glitch in the recording.

An example is just after 30 seconds in the cutchunked recording at ... https://expirebox.com/download/7b42ad9bc...2ba03.html

Ok so I searched but couldn't find it...

some shows... Teen Titans Go! and SpongeBob Squarepants are 2 episodes in the 1 recording time... my question to anyone that has run into this.. how do you break them apart to be able to set them into plex as 2 separate episodes?
