I have followed the instructions on many web pages about how to get NextPVR to work on Kodi, and I cannot get it to work on my PC.
I am using Kodi version 17.5. I was using the Apollo AIOne build and the Titan skin. I even uninstalled Kodi and the Roaming folder, and did a fresh re-install with no builds, re-installed the NextPVR Windows software, and then tried to set up NextPVR service with Kodi. Nothing seems to work. Is there a complete idiot's guide to installing NextPVR that walks a person through every conceivable step? I feel like the only person in the universe who cannot get NextPVR to work.
Even with subtitles delay set to zero some channels have about 500-700 mS delay on dvb-subtitles, would it be possible to set the subtitle delay to a negative value on playback? (I reco'n it may be difficult on live tv )
When watching TV I prefer to always use "Fill" but some of the channels have a wavy line on top of the screen and there is no option to crop. I only need the picture to move up slightly and was hoping you could instruct me on how to do that. I am familiar with XML files and have edited them in the past so if there is a way to edit it to get the desired effect I can do that. Thank you for any consideration you can give me in this matter. I am using 16:9 Format
Back in the days when I used Media Center I would set a football game to record and then start watching about an hour to an hour-and-a-half later so I could just skip past commercials and watch the game in less time. I did that with two games this past weekend and it appears that they quit recording at about the time I began watching. Am I correct in assuming that I can't watch and see the whole game until it appears in "Ready Recordings" after the game is over?
I am new to nextpvr. I tried looking but I could not find an answer to how to bring up a "grid" guide as opposed to a
"list" guide in kodi using nextpvr. I like the grid epg that shows in native nextpvr but when I go to Kody all I seem to be able to call up is one of 2 lists for epg.
I have been using NextPVR for about 7 months, and it has been working very well. On Oct. 21 I upgraded to 4.0.4, and things seemed to be working well. But on Friday night and again on Saturday night, there were recordings made with very small files - on Thursday night for a 1 hour show the .ts file was 818 kb, and on Saturday night for a 30 minute news broadcast it was 736 kb - each of these files should have been gigabytes. Neither of these recording was flaged as failed in the NextPVR Windows interface under Ready Recordings or What's New/
I have looked at the NRecord.log.2 file in the uploaded zip for the recording on Friday night, and at 2017-10-27 20:57:00.669 there is a log record that reads [ERROR][31] Unexpected error downloading seasonwide . It appears that NextPVR was accessing the TVDB when it encountered an error, but this could be incorrect as I have no knowledge of the code. Could this have been the reason the recording failed?
When I checked the NRecord.log.2 at 2017-10-28 22:58:00.284 where is started recording the news show on Saturday night there is no error 31 written during the recording, so there seems to be no pattern to the failures.
My set up is a two tuner HDHomeRun, which is then enabled in NextPVR. I had one problem back in the spring where the HDHomeRun box told NextPVR that there were no tuners available, but in that case NextPVR clearly noted the recordings as 'Failed', and as noted above this is not the case for these two failed recordings. The solution suggested by the HDHomeRun team to solve the 'all tuners in use problem' last spring was to simply reboot it (power off and on) which appeared to solve the problem. I checked today and I could watch two channels simultaneously, and when I tried to watch a third I did get a no tuners available error.
I have uploaded a zip that contains the log directory, and another zip file that contains the files written out by NextPVR during the failed recordings.
I would like NextPVR to have a retention policy that would automatically delete recordings after a period of time. Not the existing feature that saves a certain number of recording files. This is one feature of MCE that I miss. I don't have to periodically purge the files by hand, a tiring and time-consuming process. A per-recording override function should be available, too, to prevent the recording from purging.
When the new fall season started , I noticed my over-the-air NBC streams went down by half (from just under 6 GiB/hr to just under 3 GiB/hr); a reduction in bit-rate but not resolution (1080i).
Using MediaInfo, and comparing with my last remaining old (2014-01-02) file...
I use the Hauppauge WinTV-dualHD on a PC and Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-955Q on other PC both running Windows 10. Using the latest release of NextPVR 404 170820, I find using LAV audio and video codecs, that video recordings lose sync when I skip forward. If I use the LAV video codecs with Hauppauge audio codecs when playing recorded video, I do not have the sync problem when I skip forward.
I was testing out the sports auto-extend feature, and I'm having no luck. During an NBA game tonight, my DVR ended the recording at the scheduled finish, even though the game was not over. The game was Clippers vs. Blazers, and the network was NBC Sports Northwest. It was recorded via HDHomeRun Prime, and I have a Schedules Direct account being used for the guide. I do have the sports extension option enabled in NextPVR settings, but since I'm new to the product, it's possible I'm simply making an error.
I've attached the portion of the record log from tonight's recording (I can provide more if needed). Any advice? Thank you!
