I've got NextPVR running on my main machine pulling in IPTV. I've got the NextPVR web server active and am accessing it from multiple Kodi NextPVR apps and sometimes through web browser.
Here's my question - If my main machine running the NextPVR server is behind a VPN, will the other devices accessing IPTV from the server (main machine) also be behind the VPN or are they just pulling the channel urls from the server and need to also have VPN running for privacy?
First, thank you guys. This forum has solved a lot of the issues I've had with setting up NPVR since upgrading to Windows 10 and losing Windows Media Center. Unfortunately, searching through the forum hasn't yielded any recent or relevant results dealing with the issue I'm having.
I'm trying to add my Schedules Direct account to NPVR, and I am unable to select a lineup. NPVR is able to recognize my account (see photo), and I can browse other locations for their schedule data, but anything in the United States region yields no selectable linup results.
Troubleshooting steps taken so far:
1. Uninstalled NPVR and deleted the NPVR folder from the Public directory.
2. Fresh installation
Same results.
Anything you can do to point me in the right direction would be most appreciated
I have just set up X-Newa (2.5.2) on a new Libreelec box (8.2.0) and I'm confused about a few things, despite reading a lot of different posts. I wonder if you can clarify a few things?
1) Live TV will only work in Timeshift mode. Is this normal behaviour for a Libreelec or Linux client?
With the default streaming mode of native, attempting to watch live TV just results in the 'please wait' animation for about three seconds. Native does work on a Windows 10 client I have though.
2) There are quite a few streaming modes, ie Native, VLC, Direct etc... please could you explain why someone might choose each one and whether any of them have any special requirements or additional config to be done?
Are some of these experimental or otherwise to be avoided?
3) What is the effect of changing the server API?
4) Path Substitutions - I gathered that having a path substitution in place for my server's recordings folder would help playaback of recordings to work better, and adding one seems to have made resume points work.
Are there other scenarios where we need path substitutions? I have put one in place for my server's temp folder, but I'm not sure if I need that or not?
I recall reading in the forums somewhere that if for the Australian Digital tv channels you don't necessarily need a tuner for each client connected as some of the stations run on the same frequency and you can watch different channels on different clients with the same tuner. I can't find this post.
Can anyone point me to this information? I'm trying to determine how many tuners I would need to support up to 12 clients.
I updated to libreelec version 8.2.0, which changes how SMB works, and EDL skipping inside X-NEWA stopped working. Initially access to SMB drives stopped working until I changed the support level in the settings (down to ver 1). Now if I play a recording directly through Kodi, EDL skipping works fine, but not through X-NEWA anymore. I made the advanced settings change in the past and that is still in place.
As per the title, I've tried both openelec and xbian (latest available as of today) on a CuBox-i4Pro, and this is an extract from one of the log files:
NextPVR is using an hauppage HDMI capture card for input (+ a DVB-T USB capture card)
Kodi with the NextPVR client works fine from a Windows PC so NextPVR itself should be setup correctly.
I used to have this partially working on Gotham? I think, but with stuttering during playback and I've kept putting off looking at this, until today with a clean build using the latest from xbian / openelec.
I wonder if I may have found a flaw in the logic that NPVR uses for choosing which of two DVB-T adaptors to use when there are several overlapping or consecutive scheduled recordings.
I had three recordings set:
- BBC Two 20:30-21:00
- BBC Four 21:00-22:40
- ITV 21:00-22:00
These were added from the EPG, rather than being added manually (channel and times).
BBC One and BBC Four are on one multiplex and ITV is on another multiplex, so I expected the BBC Two and BBC Four recordings to use one decoder, with the appropriate pre- and post-padding, and the ITV recording to use the other decoder.
However the BBC Two recording used one decoder (the default decoder) and stopped at exactly 21:00 (with no post-padding) when the ITV recording started (with no pre-padding) on the same decoder, and the BBC Four recording used the second (non-default) decoder.
Is the allocation of recordings to decoders dependent on the order in which recordings are added to the scheduled list or is every attempt made to use the same decoder for all recordings on the same multiplex so as to preserve pre- and post-padding? I think I added the recordings to the schedule in the order ITV (first to be added - a weekly recording initially added several weeks ago), BBC Four (a one-off recording added a few days ago) and finally BBC Two (a one-off recording added a few hours ago), if it's relevant.
I had a brush with a very nasty virus, and had to rebuild. The short version... In the process of rebuilding, I somehow managed to have the firewall screwed up, and when I reinstalled NPVR, the definition of the recording service failed. So, now I cannot start/stop the service, because it hasn't been defined.
Does anyone know the syntax I use to redefine the service?
I am using a USB-UIRT as my second channel changer.
I have a batch file that uses uutx.exe to change the channel and use a 3 digit string as argument to change channel
If I enter channel.bat 234 in cmd.exe it changes the channel on my set top box to channel 234.
However when I entered this in nextpvr it did not change the channel.
Here is relavant part of log and attached is screen shot of device setup.

When I pause the TV for an extended period of time and return to continue watching, the program freezes when I try to skip forward past a commercial and will not restart. I have to exit the program and end up missing what I wanted to watch. I have read other comments on this but they seemed to be using Kodi and I am only using NPVR by itself and having a similar problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.
