In Kodi if I am watching a show and set it to record, when the show ends and I get the recording stopped message the picture stutters and then freezes (audio continues). If I then stop the stream Kodi crashes.

This is happening on 17.4 on fire tv & Jarvis in Windows?

Using Windows 10 and WinTV 950Q. I scan for analog channels and when scan is complete, I hit 'OK', and get this error:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Recently, I re-scanned my ATSC channels. Now, when I view the Modern Web page, 2 of the channel (22.2 - Q13FOX and 28.1 - KBTC) are not loading correctly. They do load correctly in NextPVR application.

Hi, this is the first time i've attempted to setup a tv tuner so at this point i'm not sure where the issue lies. I'll detail what I have done and hopefully someone can confirm if i've done it right or made any glaring errors:

Installed TBS6902 DVB-S2 card into pc running Windows 10 and installed the Windows 10 driver from their website
Installed NextPVR & went into Device Settings. The tuner card was present and enabled showing 2 tuners
Went into device setup & set settings on "Single Satellite" and "0282 Astra 2E/2F/2G (28.2E)"
Scanned the channels, updated the EPG and the settings were copied to the second tuner
Recording & Live TV Buffer pointed to a folder on an SSD. So far so good.

I then tried to watch a Live Channel and was told the Windows MPEG2 could not be used. Downloaded FFDSHOW and enabled mpeg2. Loaded the channel again and got a pixelated mess with audio cutting in and out. I then re-installed the Windows MPEG2 decoder using the cmd line & powershell (found a tutorial) and when I switched over to that decoder I had the same result (pixelated image and skipping audio).

I then installed SAF 6 using the tutorial which uninstalled FFDSHOW installing the Auto refresh plugin also. This provided about 3 other decoder choices and I tried them all but the issue persists.

Confident that the issue was not decoder related having tried so many I looked to the cabling. I had tested the cabling the day before the card installation on a Sky box and it showed high signal strength and quality so I doubted this was the issue but wanted to be thorough. I moved the pc into the living room to test with the cables in there (Sky box has been running on this cabling for 6 years with no issues). The result was exactly the same bad picture and audio.

So I turned my attention to the drivers however there are not much to choose from. A windows 32 & 64 and a Windows 10 32 & 64. I tested them all with the exact same result. I also tried Media Portal 2 in case the issue was NextPVR with no improvement. One thing I have not figured out how to do is check the signal strength & quality when the cables are connected up to the pc, can this be done in NextPVR or do I need another utility?

At this point I am at a complete loss unless the problem is the tuner card itself?? Does anyone here have this card and is using it for UK Freesat? Is there anything else I can try before returning the card and trying another brand? Something obvious I have missed that should have been completed?

Many thanks in advance.

I'm having a problem using the Kodi NextPVR addon. My setup us:

Kodi Krpyton version 17.4 running on Android TV 6.0
NextPVR version 4.0.4 (170820) running on a Win10 machine

With this setup, I can access NextPVR via a web browser on any other PC, using the local IP address of my Win10 machine: 192.168.xxx.xxx:8866. However, having configured the Kodi NextPVR addon with the same IP address and clicked "enable", I then get this message in the top right of the screen when I exit the add-on:

"PVR Manager is Starting Up 0%"
"Loading Channels From Clients"

Kodi sits there for a while, obviously trying to load data, then I get the message "Kodi has stopped". This happens every time!

Attached below are the Web and NRecord logs. I've been trying to resolve this for several hours, so any help would be greatly appreciated .

I have Hauppauge HVR-2250 tuners installed in both my computer and my wife's. Both are running Win7. I am getting bad pixellation on some channels but others are perfectly clear. AMC, Lifetime, A&E, HGTV, FOOD, Disney Jr, SYFY, and History to name a few that have issues. Maybe that helps you find info in the logs...

I thought for the longest time that it was a problem with the cable provider (Mediacom) but then I realized one day that the same channel had NO pixellation on my wife's computer. Now the REALLY strange thing about this is that I set up my computer, and then copied files to her's so I could save setup time. I am at a loss as to why her's would work and mine not. They should be virtually the same setup except for scheduled recordings and different preferences in the OS.

Log files are attached. I'd love to hear any ideas for possible solutions.

Came across something unexpected . I went to settings MISC and changed time shifting mode to EPG based. ( i have a zap2it epg). When I saved my setting and returned to live tv I hit CTRL K to record the show that had been running in the background while I made my adjustment. Immediately I got a box pop up saying application error and that if I hit continue it would attempt to ignore the error and continue. so I hit C and the box would not go away. But I could still see Nextpvr menu behind it.. so I tried exit and it did and then the error box went away.

So I restarted nextpvr and zipped the log files. attached here.

Then I noticed that a title existed in the recordings of the show I hit ctrl K on. So I clicked on it and tried to play it. Immediately a popup message appeared in a box. It said "Beef is not dead". Again I had to figure out how to exit. restarted nextpvr zipped log file.

When I had a quick look near the end of the log file from the first incident I noticed some error messages about logging into schedules direct and that it could not do so. Thats was interesting as I dont use Schedules direct. I use zap2it epg for 90% of my stuff and a few stations have DVB/ATSC as the source of the EPG as they dont appear in the zap2it.

I guess the timeshifting does not work with EPG in this version? Will go back to Time Based for now as I never had any errors at all with that.

Hi,

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?
