Hi,

I very rarely get failed recordings, but just wondering what happens if i do

If say i set The Big Bang Theory to record tonight and for whatever reason this fails, will NextPVR auto record this episode next time it airs without me having to do anything?

Thanks

I'm making a wishlist request. I would wish that NPVR would automatically put TV shows in season folders.

The reasoning behind this is as seasons get large, having 100 or more recordings in a flat directory structure is time consuming as the folder loads.

The alternative would be manually doing it and importing the recording into the database to avoid duplicate recording schedules.

For example, suppose my recordings are on my hard drive and folder G:\_TVdir and my recurring recording directory rule is "Crime Drama."

For show recording CSI.S01E01.Best Of Times.ts NPVR would put the recording in folders:

Folder: CSI
Subfolder: Season 01
Filename: CSI.S01E01.Best Of Times.mp4
i.e. true Windows Path: G:\_TVdir\Crime Drama\CSI\Season 1\CSI.S01E01.Best Of Times.ts

Other examples would be
Original Recording Filename: Elementary.S01E22.Paint It Black.ts
Folder: Elementary
SubFolder: Season 01
Filename Elementary.S01E22.Paint It Black.ts
i.e. true Windows Path: G:\_TVdir\Crime Drama\Elementary\Season 02\Elementary.S01E22.Paint It Black.ts


Other examples would be
Recurring recording directory rule is "Donate Today".

Original Recording Filename: NextPVR.S01E01.Sub has done us all a great service by providing NPVR to us for free.ts
Folder: NextPVR
SubFolder: Season 01
Filename NextPVR.S01E01.Sub has done us all a great service by providing NPVR to us for free.ts
i.e. true Windows Path: G:\_TVdir\Donate Today\NextPVR\Season 01\NextPVR.S01E01.Sub has done us all a great service by providing NPVR to us for free.ts

Original Recording Filename: NextPVR.S03E02.Not many open source developers respond as much as Sub does to help users out.ts
Folder: NextPVR
SubFolder: Season 03
Filename NextPVR.S03E02.Not many open source developers respond as much as Sub does to help users out.ts
i.e. true Windows Path: G:\_TVdir\Donate Today\NextPVR\Season 03\NextPVR.S03E01.Sub has done us all a great service by providing NPVR to us for free.ts

Thank you for the consideration and THE GREAT PROGRAM!


PS: In the interim, what would be the command to update the filename in the database if I used another program to sort my recordings.

I was given this command in the past to mark recording as first run:

As my title reads, My TV guide only shows 3 days of programming

All other functions of NPVR work perfect. I am running the latest version of NPVR

Windows 10 machine

I am using schedules direct and I also verified that my XML file is showing 8 days as the default.

If I need more info than this to troubleshoot, just say the word and I will gladly provide it

Any ideas?

Hello, I tried searching but I couldn't find it (and I hope I haven't asked this before)

I recently changed my EPG source, not my actual service. So channels are the same but names are slightly different and I have more channels importing now too. Since I imported the new channels and updated the EPG, reoccurring recordings seem like they know what channel they are using but actually don't. I've had this happen before but just redid my recordings.

For example:
Lets say I'm recording Archer it should look like:
Archer
1128 FXHD
10 - 10:30 Thurs

However now it looks like:
Archer
0 - 1128 FXHD
10 - 10:30 Thurs

The tell is the channel being 0 - 1128 (the last number changes depending on what the actual channel was)

Is there anything to do besides recreate the item? I've got a few set for shows that no longer air but sometimes they do besides I'd like to not cleanup and redo my schedules Also would I be able to change the channel if I change providers?

Thank you.

Hi,

I am setting up a new Android box running Kodi 17.3
to interface with my existing NextPVR setup
but I'm having a couple of issues.

I can successfully use the Kodi Videos option to play
recordings via smb and commercial skipping works perfectly.

However when I use X-NEWA, I cannot play streamed recordings.
They always start buffering but fail with "Player Error".
I have an advancedsettings.xml file that should,
as I understand things, automatically switch
X-NEWA from http to smb playback.
But it appears to be ineffective when I try to play
a recording via the NextPVR Recordings menu.
Have I got advancedsettings setup wrong?
How do I fix these buffering/player errors?

These log extracts show both successful (via smb)
and unsuccessful (via http) tests of The Daily Show:

My related question, if I use X-NEWA to playback Recordings
via the NextPVR Videos option, is commercial skipping supposed
to work when the recordings are no longer in npvr.db3?
I frequently move recordings to alternate directories
which causes them to be removed from the NextPVR Recordings list.

My full logs, advancedsettings.xml, config, etc. are available here:

Thanks!

On many occasions, I have been disappointed when I look forward to a new recording from my HD-PVR only to discover that a minor power glitch during the night turned it off!

I would like to suggest a new command line switch that will tell HaupBlast.exe to send a Power On command to the blaster, delay(?), then send the channel.

Thanks...

Hi All,
I've set my NPVR installation to act as a client.
I've entered the settings correctly and can confirm that with the server / share name I can access the NPVR directory from the remote machine.
However, each time I start NPVR on the client, I get a message to say that communcation with the server name can't be made.
I've attached the NPVR log from the client, but I can't see any error in there.
Any ideas?!
Thanks in advance.

I just reinstalled NPVR all I can get is the modern NEWA.

1) Is there a way to get the old version back?

2) If not, can someone tell me how to search for episodes in the modern one?

EDIT: Scratch item one... found that in the NPVR config. However, item two I don't see and prevents me from using modern

I have 2 hdhr prime tuners with 2 cable cards. I'm using schedules direct with epg123 for my epg. In the nextpvr settings under devices I scanned for channels and it found just about all my channels on my cable cards. When I go to channels and set all my channels to schedules direct. I noticed that a few of the channels that it found in the devices tab are not listed in the channels tab. Funny thing is it found them in Standard definition just not high def. the couple of channels that I noticed missing are 621 National Geographic, 622 science channel and 623 investigation discovery. I performed a rescan of the devices and updated the epg but nothing changes. I am also using schedules direct for my guide in WMC via epg123. And I have all my channels there. I am using Verizon FIOS in New York City.

The repo doesnt seem to work no more for auto updates
I can download the latest version but i cant add the repo folder comes up empty
Can you post the correct http://.................... in full of what its meant to be please ?
