Hello. I'm trying to access the SD token needed for schedules access using Windows Powershell.

If anyone has any experience or wisdom on how to do this, I would appreciate the help.

This is what I've tried so far but with no success:

$sdUID = 'abcdef'
$sdPW = Get-StringHash -String "123456" -HashName "SHA1"
$sdPW = $sdPW.ToLower()
$jhsdLogin = @{"username"= $sdUID; "password"= $sdPW} | ConvertTo-Json

$sdUAgent = [Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.PSUserAgent]::InternetExplorer
$sdContentType = "application/json;charset=UTF-8"

$sdToken = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://json.schedulesdirect.org/20141201/token -UseBasicParsing -Method Post -Body $jhsdLogin -UserAgent $sdUAgent -ContentType $sdContentType -Debug

This snippet results in "400 Bad Input."

I've also posted on the SchedulesDirect Developer forum.

Thank you.

I am getting an error message every time I start my Raspberry PI that NextPVR cannot start because of an 'unknown error" I checked the other help on this forum on this subject and can confirm it is using the right IP address for my server. The firewall on the server is open on port 8866 for incoming and outgoing on TCP and UDP. Attached is my log file.

Thanks

Running NPVR 4.0.4 with HDHomeRun (very latest firmware).

Using NextPVR application (on windows 10), OR on any version of Kodi, I can not use the program guide to switch to ANY standard def channels. No issues at all with HD channels or going directly to the channel from the channel selection. This is specific to selecting a show from the guide and pressing the SWITCH button.

Any help is appreciated.

Is it possible for two instances of NPVR on the same network to share recordings? I would consolidate to one instance if wifi were not an issue. One of my hdhomerun primes is connected directly to a PC on wifi. The rest of my network is wired.

I've pointed both instances at the same directory for recordings but one instance does not display recordings from the other instance. I've also experimented with exporting and importing recordings through the NPVR Settings interface. I manually added a recording from one instance to another where is would display in the NPVR application but it would not display in Kodi as a recording.

I notice on the Settings | General screen there are various UI settings. I have UI Resolution=Auto. This is on a PC with a 1920x1080 resolution. I tend to use NPVR as a window that is roughly 1/4 of a screen (ie half the screen width, half the screen height) so I can see other windows alongside.

The quality of the text is poor (missing vertical/horizontal strokes) which gets worse as the window size is reduced and everything is scaled down.

Full-screen, the text is fine.



Notice the missing pixels in the date/time and the missing row of pixels at the bottom of the programme description "The latest news ... North East and Cumbria".

It has all the hallmarks of a high-resolution image that has been badly down-scaled in resolution, by omitting every nth pixel rather than by averaging pixels using bicubic/bilinear blending.

Is there a way to improve the text display a bit?

Let me explain my problem & maybe someone can come up with a better solution. When I am recording Fox owned cable channels or a free preview of HBO or Cinemax, I have to use the HDPVR attached to a STB. I have my blaster software setup to send a "Menu" and "Exit" before the channels since that will turn on the STB if it is off, but will not turn it off if it is already on. I have the STB setup to turn off after four hours without a button press. That way, I can record a show and the STB won't stay on all day and night. I could change to a shorter time out, a longer time or to just stay on all the time. My problem is that if I record say an American football game that is scheduled for three hours, I will schedule the show or two after in case the game goes into overtime. NPVR is smart enough to know that the other shows are on the same channel & doesn't execute the blaster. The STB turns off four hours after the first show started. If the game runs really long or I am recording two different things back to back, like two movies on a HBO preview weekend or two different sporting events, the STB might turn off before I want.

Possible solutions:

- I set the STB to stay on longer or not shut off at all:
Plus: don't have to change anything else. Minus: if I am recording just an hour or thirty minutes, it stays on a long time afterwards.

- I add something to PostProcessing.bat to turn off the STB:
Plus: STB is turned off as soon as it isn't needed. Minus: need to make sure it isn't recording anything else.

- sub calls a new batch file when recording consecutive shows on the same channel of a device that uses a blaster
Plus: I just need to create a batch file that blasts "Menu" and "Exit". Minus: sub would need to do work that probably benefits nobody besides me. Also, would need to decide when it gets called if there is padding at beginning and end of shows.

Now that I written these out and thought about it, I should probably just do the second one, but maybe somebody else can comment.

Hi,
So, I love nextPVR and use it for my main TV from a Windows server, we currently utilise Kodi with the PVR add-on to connect to nextpvr to allow TV guide and live TV.
I see that Plex now supports DVR as well and was wondering what would need to be done to allow Plex to see nextpvr as a DVR server? Is it even possible?
Cheers
Phil

Hi,

I installed NextPVR last night, set it all up, everything was working the way I wanted other than the EPG-time but I thought I'd fix it today.
At the time, all my streams were working fine in NextPVR, the Web interface, Kodi and even VLC.

Today I played with the timeshift settings and suddenly my streams started looping in NextPVR, the Web Interface and Kodi but were playing fine in VLC which leads me to think it's an issue with NexPVR..

After trying a bunch of things in the settings I thought I'd just start everything from scratch and deleted my NextPVR config file as well as the db file.
Didn't touch any setting, just imported my m3u8 playlist of streams and XMLTV EPG.

But still, after resetting the config files all my streams are playing for about 15 seconds, then loop back like 10 seconds earlier, play 15 more seconds, then loop back 10 seconds back and so on.
Anyone has experienced this issue and/or has an idea how I could fix this? I'd like to re-mention, my streams are playing fine in VLC.

Thanks!

I've been using NLite on and off since it first came out and I really like it. However I have this pesky issue that prevents me from using it more.

If NextPVR has been on for a while, NLite will not connect to it. Even a PC reboot (which I do automatically daily) will not resolve it. However a "Stop" and "Start" of the recording service fixes it every time. I can see from the NLite output that "Found server, but login failed". When it fails I see a white screen box where NextPVR would normally show

Attached is the NLite output before the service restart and after the service restart as well as the other logs. I tried this all around 06:50.
