I'm trying a new TV provider and can't get certain channels to work. The STB isn't known by blastcfg.exe so I made it learn the ten digits then tuned to channels 1-10 successfully and thought I was done as all 10 digits worked. I can't however tune to 100, 112, 122, 330, 344, 355 or anything with consecutive identical digits.
I noticed that if I send "10" from blastcfg.exe immediately followed by "0" from the provided remote I need to press "0" twice on the remote to get it to work and tune channel 100. I then tried learning a second "0" onto key '.' (dot) by intentionally missing the IR receiver on the first press thus recording the second "0". I can then tune channel 100 from blastcfg.exe by hitting either "10." or "1.0" but "100" or "1.." both result in "10".
It seems the IR data for the digits includes a sequence number and the STB ignores consecutive identical [digit/seq#] pairs.
Environment:
HDPVR2 with blastercfg.exe & blast.exe from WinTV 10
Windows 11
STB from tv provider: Amigo 7X
Any ideas? It seems I would need two blastcfg.exe setups and to tune to channel "11" I would need to send a "1" from the primary digits cfg and another "1" from a secondary digits config".
I use OTA channels, and have been using zap2xml to update the epg for many years. But it seems like the last time it worked was 12/30/24. Now all my stations show "no listings". I tried updating manually, and zap2xml doesn't update the xmltv.xml file any more.
If no one has a solution for this, can someone please give me a link to an alternate easy to use xml file builder that can be used on a more reliable site like tvguide.com (with detailed instructions)?
Thanks.
I was able to get some detail (finally) after poking around, but I don't know if this will help or not. When I manually ran the batch file, the cmd came back with this message:
D:\EPG>updateepg.bat > epgup.txt
malformed JSON string, neither array, object, number, string or atom, at character offset 0 (before "\x{0}\x{0}\x{0}\x{0}...") at script/zap2xml.pl line 1436.
and I outputted the full text in the attached epgup.txt
So is the problem in zap2xml, or is it in the site zap2it?
Is anyone else having this problem?
Now running the new version, 7.0.1.241229. Previously, I managed to transcode the .ts files to .mp4 (an hours program would take about 10-15 minutes after ending to convert and be downloaded). i now seem to have lost that function, and the files are just downloading as .ts.
Hello,
I purchased the above with the intention of watching and recording freeview programmes on my PC. I managed to download the installation software and drivers ok, but when it comes to scanning for channels, nothing happens. I have the August HD TV stick in one of my PC slots and the small aerial supplied with the stick is plugged in as well. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
My EPG updates are a bit hit and miss at the moment - sometimes they work fine, sometimes (such as today) I get the response "EPG Update complete. [0 inserted, 0 updated, 0 skipped]". I've checked the logs and I can't see any errors or anything. Everything else is working just fine, no tuners are active at the time, recordings and live TV are fine. It seems to update eventually, but I can't work out why it's just decided not to bother? A restart seems to fix it but it's started happening quite regularly.
Failed to download channel list: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. [::ffff:143.244.220.150]:443 (con.me:443)
Not sure how to fix this? ....
I just received my m3u from my provider .... (No XMLTV Guide given).
I have recently installed a August DVB-T210 usb stick and the recommended software NextPVR. Its a new HP Z2 G9 workstaion running windows 11.
Had a few installation issues getting webapp and NextPVR working. However I have a problem when the PC is first powered on. I get the error "Starting device: please wait" and later "streaming failed (transcode exited).
Seems the software cant start the device. I have tried turning off the security software HP Wolf Security then exited Edge browser and tried again; This sometimes solves the problem but means 20mins getting NextPVR working each time pc is turned on.
There is also a close down issue that shows as NextTV Backend says its recording and this stops shutdown. There are no scheduled recordings.
Seems like the USB stick is reluctant to start.
Have check firewall and NextPVR features and USB stick is in a USB 2 port 480Mbps.
The version of NextPVR is ver 7.0.1.241229
Hi. I noticed the release under the latest tag hasn't been updated in docker hub in two months, but stable has with the newest release.
Is the latest tag no longer maintained for the latest release?
Apparently Schedules direct is getting hammered with requests as they put a 24 hr hold on my account. I do not use jellyfin. the only thing connecting to sd should be 2 instances of npvr on separate machines, on the same lan. I just updated from the November build to the current one so I am not sure in which the problem lies. Any help would be apprecieated. I just filed a ticket with sd. logs attached.
