Hi,

I've recently moved across from ArgusTV to NextPVR (front-end with Kodi).

I've managed to scan most channels (Freesat in the UK - Astra 2E / Astra 2F / Astra 2G - 28.2E). However, it's not finding ITV London HD.

I've had a read through online and looks like they changed to 3/4 FEC so details as follows (given I'm picking up from London):

Astra 2G, Frequency 11097
Polarisation: Vertical
Mode: DVB-S2, 8PSK
Symbol Rate: 23000 (23.0 Mbaud)
FEC: 3/4
Channel/Region Service ID
ITV London HD 21000

I wonder if this is because there isn't space for me to change FEC on the software. Is there any way of changing to 3/4 FEC through another route?

I just switched over to NPVR from Mythtv. The mythtv kodi add-on was pretty good. The one for npvr is pretty good too but when I stream while recording it always drops out when I get to the point where the recording was when I started. Is there any way around this problem?

I'm trying to set a custom skin for my Samsung Smart TV.
I created a modified skin and updated config.xml
to specify the new skin:

<MAC-50-85-69-96-de-9a>
<MVPName>WebClient-50-85-69-96-de-9a</MVPName>
<MVPClientType>WebClient</MVPClientType>
<MVPSkin>Williams7-SmartTV</MVPSkin>
<MVPPreferredMenuStyle>slideout</MVPPreferredMenuStyle>
</MAC-50-85-69-96-de-9a>

This MAC-50-85-69-96-de-9a entry already existed and matches my
TV's MAC so I assumed that it was the proper one to update.

However no skin change took place. The logs are attached.

I also tried to use the NextPVR menus to make the change but these
menus fail with the error message displayed in the attachment.

Does anyone have any ideas about this?

Hi,

Thanks

Hi, new here, please help!

I'm getting a blank screen on Live TV and NextPVR won't record (empty file created). Everything was working happily last week, first noticed the problem on Tuesday night, which makes me wonder if something broke with a MS update.

Setup is AugustDVB-T205 (V3.1), OS is Windows Server 2016 Essentials.

Have been running latest verson of NextPVR for 2-3 weeks. Everything was happy, as it had been with previous version.

Anyway, tried to troubleshoot. Checked USB Tuner on another machine (with PVR as a test), it was happy. Back on the problem box I reinstalled NextPVR and tuner driver anyway. NextPVR can pull down channels from tuner, so they both seem happy. I'm guessing it might be a codec issue so I reinstalled SAF, but no joy. (Machine has been rebooted several times during all of this!)

So no picture on Live TV, but no error message either.

Logs and codec config attached (Cyberlink PDVD13, but I gave LAV a try too). Any suggestions?!

Hey everyone

Been using NextPVR and various others for a long time now, recently bought a Hauppauge WinTV Dual HD tuner and ever since I have been losing my mind.

No matter what back end or front end I use, the TV or recording, or both, will just freeze - when this happens my mouse will also freeze for about 2 seconds, when it unfreezes I can navigate the menus and EPG just fine but I have to restart the app to get it working again. I am on a legit current build of Windows 10 (10.0.15063 build 15063), I have even reinstalled Windows 10 (10.0.15063 build 15063) and made sure all drivers and software installed are totally up to date, I have disabled selective powering off of USB, disabled sleep and whatever else in the Windows Power Profile options, not running any firewall/AV software either. This happens with NextPVR, WinTV 8/8.5, Plex, Kodi and anything else I have tried.

5930k
MSI X99A SLI Plus - all up to date
16GB DDR4
GTX 970 SLI - up to date drivers
SSD and a couple of HDD's - tried installing and setting buffer to all drives, no success.

If someone could help I'd appreciate it, I'll try to keep the logs updated as and when it crashes.

I have NextPvr working nicely on a Win 7 Pro PC. I "think" it's set up correctly to run as a server. It's been recording and playing shows for about a week.

I now need to set up one or more computers on my LAN to be able to run NextPVR as a client for remote accessing of the server.

The PC I need to use as an NextPVR client is a Windows 10 Pro 64-bit PC. During the install process I get an error " Server database not found at:\\hushpc\npvr\npvr.db3 ". If I click "OK" to ignore the error the install finishes with no other errors and the NPVR tray icon is shown. But nothing else works. Can't run the program or access any settings.

My first thought was Antivirus program and/or windows firewall issue. But I have both computers set up in a Windows home group and I can access the server npvr.db3 file manually from the Windows 10 PC which is where I'm trying to install an NPVR client.

I've a screen cap of something that doesn't look right to me. This is the Cliend Specific Settings on the Win 7 NPVR Server. Shouldn't there be something in the MAC address area ?

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.
