I just noticed SD has not updated for the last four days. I checked their site and saw no indication of a problem. My scheduled times in settings hasn't changed. Is their anything else I should look for in NPVR before I start bugging SD? I'm wondering if going back to 3.9 could be the cause?

So I have changed over from the Kodi HDhomerunPVR Client to the to the Kodi NextPVR Client. Now this is the PVR Client that comes with Kodi. I keep Live TV on almost 24/7, and it seems to freeze on me, about once or twice a day. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong, and I have no idea what the logs are telling me if anything(Because I have no idea what I am looking at). I have a fresh copy of Windows 10, the newest NextPVR, and the newest copy of libreelec. I have no Idea if this is not a NPVR issue or if this is a Kodi Issue. What I can tell you is if I use the built in HDhomerun KodiPVR I have no issues at all, but as soon as I change over to the NPVR Client in Kodi I have issues. Not all the time but like I said about twice a day. I have attached a copy of the zipe files. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

I do not know if you guys can see this Attachment, But I found this old card. I was hopping someone would be able to tell me if this old card with worth a try. I have no idea if it works, or if I would be able to find Drivers for this thing. I know it is an ATI, and I think it is part number 109-68300-21. I do see a ton of Model/Part Numbers, and other things. Nnot sure what to make of it. Please let me know what you think. Thanks

I just stumbled onto what may be a bug in NLite (or maybe an issue with my video drivers).

When in the Recordings screen, I noticed Pending Recordings were not in my preferred sort order (ascending by date). In the NPVR program, when hovering the mouse along the top border, a hidden menu shows allowing me to toggle the sort order. In NLite, that menu does not show, however, if I happen to click in the appropriate space, the sort selection actually changes, so the button click event works, but the visual menu clue does not.

Anyone else experience this behavior?

After been offered possible solutions in my previous post to the issue of the not running NPVR web server i gave up trying to use its client functions.

Somehow i could not make clear to you what happens and the logs are inconclusive.

Essentially i have the same problem as described here https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...8866/page4 a very long time ago.

And it has not been resolved yet...

A little hope came when i did a new windows install (windows 10 home/HDhomerun/npvr 3.8)
Unlike previous times when it only worked once just after a fresh install of NPVR until the next reboot, this time it was a little more persistent. it survived a number of reboots and actually worked for one whole day

But now it does not anymore... deinstalling, manually removing all references to npvr in the filesystem and registry all to no avail.. After reinstallation everyhing works except the webserver..


When i search for this issue it looks like it has been reported many times since version 2.2 but never has a solution been posted.
I guess there must be a serious design flaw in the npvr web server.. persisent over a number of windows and npvr versions.
?
When installing there usually is a message 'the service cannot be started' 'its already running' ? but no running service can be found. after a reboot it works, (with the limitations described above.)

I hope someone will finally find a solution, if found i am interested..
for now again i will give up the client mode.

Ever since upgrading to 4.04, the modern interface EPG has failed to populate (see pic) but the NEWA EPG is fine. The rest of the modern interface is ok (Now, Recordings, Scheduler). My eyes are bleeding from the number of times I have searched through this forum in recent weeks in the hope of finding a solution. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Thanks.

Hello NextPVR. I do hope everyone is doing well tonight. I would like to start by saying I am new to NextPVR, I am new to the DIY Cable world, and I am not an IT Pro. I have only been working with DIY Cable for less then a year, and I hope that I can get a system that is similar to the standard STB’s that my family has been using for years, and one that will be large enough to cover all of my TV Sets.

Background I live in a multi-generation, multi-family home. My family, My sisters family, and my Mom and Dad. In total we have 8 people in this house, and we have 9 cable TV sets. Not everyone in the house is tech savvy, and everyone in the family would like a point and click setup like what we have with the cable company. I have tried many times to come up with a working solution to the point and click setup, but it just seems to not be in the cards. Then I learned about Kodi’s PVR HDhomerun Client. I had all but given up the search till I found Kodi. You see I had thought Kodi was just a way to steal Moves, and that is great and all, but it had not filled the cable TV need I had deep inside me. The plug-in was something I thought the whole family would be able to use.

My current setup (which is built off of several failed attempts) is 2 HDhomerun Primes, 1 HDhomerun Connect, two Raspberry Pi 3 systems (Learned about them when I found out what Kodi can do. LON.TV off of Youtube btw) Each Raspberry Pi 3 has Kodi installed and really only acts as a frontend for NextPVR, and Plex. NPVR is on an old server I got that was once a surveillance NVR for a bank. It has Win 10 Pro 64 bit and I UN-installed as much as I could from the base OS to try and give it a boost , 4 Gig of ram (I think this is okay because you don’t need much to trans-code right?), with an Intel Celeron G530 @2.40GHz (Not sure, but I think this Passmark on this is kinda low, and I may need to get that worked on).

What I would like to do is have a Tivo downstairs in the living room that way the family can enjoy HBO and Showtime, but all of the other 8 TV sets I would like for them to use a small PC like a Raspberry or one of the other small PC systems I have hanging out. (I may have tried WMC with a Nuc, and a few smaller PC’s I got from Ebay. Not the best setup). What would work for my family best is something just like a cable company STB. All we have to do is turn on the TV, and pick up the remote, then start changing the channel. I would also like to spend as little cash on this as I can. So I would love to use the Raspberry as my Standard STB to cover all TV I have don’t have STB for yet, and to make it easy on the less tech savvy in the house I will need to “STBs” to stay on and streaming 24/7.

So in my minds eye I see the PNVR as my backend, the 8 Raspberry Pi 3 as STB frontends, I would like 4 HDhomerun Primes, 3 to cover the TV sets, and 1 to cover the DVR Needs of the family, and my 1 HDhomerun Connect.(I only got that because of the deal I got). Again the Tivo for the main STB for HBO and Showtime downstairs in the living room.

My questions are as follows:
Will a single PNVR work as a backend for all my frontends?
I am sure my gig network will hold the bandwidth as each HDhomerun will only use 30M per unit when all channels are working. So that would be 140M (with the connect at 20M) if all channels of all Hdhomeruns are being used all at the same time. What I don’t know is how the PNVR works with HDhomerun?
Does this unit take over and channel all of the video when watching TV, or does it only take control when it is making a recording?
Are there setting I can use to streamline the system? I have seen a ton of stuff about decoders What are the best to use?
Will my ideas work with the configuration I have in my head, or is this all just a pipe dream?

And one thing I have to ask that is a bit off subject. IPTV? I would kinda like to get HBO (with a paid for service I don’t wish to set it up a buch), on these sets too, but I am not sure if streaming channels though my network to multipliable STBs is cool or not? Any Ideas on that?

Anyways I want to thank anyone who as taken the time to read all of this. I know it was a ton of stuff.

I've checked for hidden files (none found) but empty recording folders are not being deleted.
Noted that empty video folders are being deleted though.

Hi everyone

I was using an old 500gb drive as my PVR target drive all my recordings were stored on this drive it has just unexpectedly died no S.M.A.R.T ERRORS was just very old.

It looks like it died at around 1PM early today.

This drive was not C:/ Drive but a data drive that failed

I was running a Windows backup of this drive every night so I do have a backup it's already restoring to a new location. Different drive

What are the next steps after restore has finished how do I re add my recording to NEXTPVR

When I load C:/Users/Public/NPVR/web/API/default.html in a browser, I get a swagger page that says:

Please specify the protocol for file:///C:/Users/Public/NPVR/web/API/default.html/api-docs

This is with 3.9.2

??

Thanks!
