I use ZAP2IT to provide me my EPG. ZAP2IT indicates new episodes by using the word NEW in the description. Recently they introduced the word LIVE to indicate a new live show. NextPVR will not record the show or indicate it is LIVE in the TV Guide listings.
Would it be possible to include a new feature to record LIVE shows and indicate it is a LIVE show in the TV Guide Listings? In essence they are NEW shows, just categorized as LIVE.
Just a thought.
Don't know why ZAP2IT made live complicated for us.
Some recordings are truncated at odd times. In my specific example, NFL games are being ended at 38 minutes or so, even though the recording is set for 3 hours. I've attached the relevant log files for a football game which began recording on Sept 28th, at 7:24pm. The recording ended 38 minutes afterwards. I am also attaching the screengrab which shows that it THINKS the recording is 3 hours.
In the Record Log file I find it stopping the recording.
"2017-09-28 22:17:05.980 [DEBUG][9] Stopping recording (1122 on 21). Past end time of recording. 22"
i have a tbs-6981 dvb-s card with 2 tuners and also a usb dvb-s tuner and i have noticed that i sometimes get a quick stutter when a second tuner is in use, i could be watching a channel and if the second tuner is then used for a recording i get a stutter where live tv in kodi stops for a second or so and then carries on, i have seen the stutter in recordings to where a there is a second or so of the recording that repeats it's like there is 'a glitch in the matrix' when it happens.
i can't get to the computer for logs till after the weekend but am curious if anyone else has seen this behaviour?
Not sure if this is intended behaviour or something to do with my setup, but have had a search through the Wiki and forums and can't find anything. It's been like this for a while through several versions of NPVR, just haven't bothered to do anything about it.
When playing from Videos I always have the option of Close-Play-Resume-Unwatch-etc, but it seems the Unwatch is missing when playing from Recordings. Is this normal? Would like to be able to mark as Unwatched from here as well.
Another thing that seems odd is that when I delete an individual recording after viewing that is part of a series, it stays there and doesn't disappear from the screen until I exit back to the main menu and re-enter Recordings. Years ago I'm sure it disappeared instantly.
I'm currently using 3.9 version for my client and in all respects but one it works perfectly. But, it occasionally just 'freezes' to the extent I have to close the program and restart it. Usually it will allow me to 'resume' what I was watching, but not always. I don't imagine logs will be of any use since I have to restart every time it does this. I get a Windows onscreen message indicating NPVR is failing to respond, do I want to close. Any idea what could cause this or is this just something I'm going to have to live with?
This happens using all the mpeg2 codecs available so I doubt they are the problem.
I'm having some real issues setting up NextPVR on a Win10 machine and hoping someone van help!
Here is my setup:
NextPVR version: 4.0.4 (170820),
Devices: IPTV only (no tuners)
Codecs
loaded: Lav, Media Player Codec Pack
When I configure the IPTV device, both the channels and the XMLTV guide load fine from URLs. However, when I try to watch any channel, I get the error message "Unable to find available capture device The remote server returned an error (401) Unauthorized".
I've attached the log file.
However, if I install NextPVR version 4.0.4 (170731) with exactly the same Codec configs, I can watch the IPTV channels. The only problem with this version of the software, is that the XMLTV file will not load properly and the channels don't map to the guide.
Ideally I would like to use the 170820 version because the guide loads properly. Any ideas?
When changing channels that have different audio formats I often get an error message on screen about misssing an audio decoder. If I change to another channel with same audio type it is fine. So going from a channel with mpg audio to a channel with Dolby audio requires going back to main menu to get sound.
I had a problem with a number of imported recordings from a series where the file name of some contained "Of" and others "of". This resulted in the list of recordings being split in to two separate lists in both NPVR and NEWA. (One list of 40 recordings and one of 20).
I edited the name in the npvr.db3 database and restarted NPVR (and service).
NPVR now shows the series under one list in the Recordings screen (60 recordings) but NEWA still has the series split into two separate lists (40 & 20).
I just did a MASSIVE windows update to build 15063. Took forever and multiple reboots. I now notice that I have a bunch of "no show details" in the guide for only SOME channels. I am using Rovi. I checked the XMLTV.XML file and it appears to be ok. Also checked mc2xml.chl and the "channels" settings in NPVR. All look OK to me. I have no way to KNOW that this was caused by the windows update, but wondered if anyone else has seen this?
I had nextpvr working great in Windows 7 Home Premium, but after updateing to the newer version i'm having all sorts of trouble. I have even started from scratch and reloaded Windows and downloaded the latest nextpvr install. The recording service is not waking from sleep to record, and when i manually WOL the recoding service isn't responding unless i reboot. Here are my log files let me know what you think, because i'm about ready to really start from scratch and format my hard driveand completely reinstall windows. Thanks.
