NPVR NOT in system tray now:

I just updated NPVR to version 7.0.1.241229, and I still have an issue that started in November when I upgraded NextPVR from late version six to then current 7.0.0.241105. Did the normal NPVRSetup.exe to update, as the site directs. Seemed to progress normally. I did that install update several times - same result.

Since then, NPVR is NOT in the system tray, so therefore not directly usable since there is no access to it.

Workaround:
I did find that I can go into C:\ProgramFiles\NextPVR to find the file NPVRTray.exe, and run it. Then the green NPVR icon is quickly, properly back in the system tray!  BUT after rebooting the machine, which I do daily and more often, NPVR is no longer in the system tray. I found that I could go to the NPVRTray.exe file, then put a shortcut to it on my desktop. Running the shortcut DOES put the green NPVR icon back in the system tray.

Can you help me fix whatever is wrong? It isn't critical, just a tiny annoyance. Something I can live with long-term, but it doesn't seem right to have to do this.

Thanks.

I see this in my NextPVR...

Version: 7.0.0.241105  (7.0.1.241229 is available for download)

So I downloaded the helper using:

curl https://nextpvr.com/nextpvr-helper.deb -O

Then stopped my NextPVR service and tried to install but it tells me I have the latest version? I've not had this issue in the past. What am I missing?

sudo apt install ./nextpvr-helper.deb --install-recommends

Up until recently I have had my machine running Windows 7 with NextPVR 4.2.4 and an HDHomerun tuner.  I have 3 Nvidia Shields running the very old Kodi 18.5 because when the Kodi updated to a newer version the add-on won't work with the old NexPVR running on my computer that handles the recording.  

I would have just updated the NextPVR long ago, but everything was working and since I had an old OS I was thinking it was likely that I would update then run into issues due having Win 7. But now I have Windows 10 on that machine and was going to update the NextPVR and the Kodi on all of my Shields. With this being a big jump (from NextPVR 4.2.4 to 7.x and Kodi 18.5 to 21.1), am I likely to run into issues or should it be as simple as running the NextPVR installer (without uninstalling 4.2.4) and then updating Kodi?  Thanks

Hey all,

I'm using the HDHR3-4DC in combination with the newest NextPVR in a linux LXC container with Ubuntu on my Proxmox host.

When I'm using the official Android TV app form HDHomerun, the EPG works perfectly fine. However I don't seem to get the EPG imported in NextPVR. I've emptied and reloaded it a couple of times, but it doesnt seem to work. Watching TV works fine.

Do I miss a setting of some sort?

Thanks in advance!

I was on earlier and setup username and password at the office. I am home now and wanted to log in with new credentials (that was on office computer). Failed
Tried logging in with admin/password FAILED

I cant access NextPVR at home from login screen with any credentials. Is there something the server marks an IP address so it cant connect after a few failed attempts???

Just trying to get to NextPVR set up at home now and would like to have access to the recorded shows while at the office too. But I first installed it all at office which still connects with
new user name and password I made. But when I use the same credentials at the house FAIL ACCESS everytime.

Thank you

Hi, since the v7 update, on the web player, the subtitle stream box when you click the cog after playing a live station, no longer allows you to choose a dvb-t stream, it just says none, there is no longer any streams to choose from even when they should be available?
It used to work fine with v6 nextpvr.
I am from uk and the dvb-t subtitles are the only option for subtitles.
I dont know why it is no longer working?
Just wanted to make creator 'sub' aware.
Thanks.

Okay I am logged in on web but how do I set an individual login? I am new to this service and I am not sure I want to add user name and passwords for my IPTV and cable stuff on a public service that everyone uses admin/password to access.  So do we have an option to setup a personal login with user name and password instead of everyone using admin/password to access server?

Not sure how all this works. Sorry. 

Thanks for reply.

New install, Ver 7.0.0.241105, Win 10.  (After years of Win 7 and Ver 4   I have most things working as I like but have 1 small niggle that I can't seem to find info about.

When using the web client, I see in the EPG any recordings that I have set.  However in the desktop client (which I prefer as its just like Ver 4) there is no highlight on the actual recording.  There is a red bar at the top but this does not show the channel - only the time.

Logs attached as well as 2 snips showing the difference between the 2
