I am not sure if this query should be here or in the NEWA discussion, sorry.
I am running NextPVR 3.9.2 on a Windows 10 PC and can access the guide etc from another PC on the network. What I can't do is access the stuff from outside the network, regardless of what username/password combination I enter. I have a DDNS registered with no-ip.org and port forwarding is set up through to 8866 on the NPVR server. Using Chrome on Android, I can see the login screen via the DDNS service but it consistently returns username/password invalid even after altering the info, restarting the service and even rebooting the PC. Although it shouldn't matter, I also tried it without success with the server firewall completely turned off.
It isn't a case-sensitivity issue - everything was entered in lower case both in the Clients section of NPVR setup and on the login screen via Chrome. I'm baffled but suspect that I am doing something simple wrong, so feel free to call me stupid if you have a solution.
I'm running Kodi on a Raspberry Pi and upgraded from Jarvis to Krypton earlier this year. The first thing I noticed when booting Krypton was that it took a lot longer to process the NextPVR channels/EPG/recordings than Jarvis. Jarvis boots in well under a minute while Krypton takes nearly 2.5 minutes to boot.
I created debug logs for both systems and then wrote a Kodi Log Comparison Utility in Python to analyze my Jarvis/Krypton logs. My analysis appears to show that the EPG scraper (TVDB) may be the source of the slow boot problem. Take a look at the following log: https://pastebin.com/qrhfCZg9
My log shows the time differential between Jarvis and Krypton for each log entry. This analysis has confirmed my original observation that Krypton takes 2:18 longer to process the same number of channels during boot up.
Please note that the log report in my paste bin only shows the "EPG - UpdateFromScraper" event. I suspect that somehow the TVDB addon may be the source of the problem since it is apparently used to update the EPG for each channel. If this addon is the reason for the longer Krypton boot, the next question has to be what has changed in TVDB to cause this problem.
Has anyone else experienced a similar problem booting NextPVR?
I have noticed (a small annoyance) that NPVR seems to break Windows 10 desktop slideshow. This occurs on multiple clients.
If slideshow is enabled on Windows 10 and NPVR is started, slideshow stops sequencing images and the current is frozen on the desktop until I manually refresh the image through Windows Settings. There is no such issue when using the Kodi client or other viewers.
Has anyone else seen this behavior? Any ideas why this happens? Is there anything I can do to stop this behavior?
I feel the PostUpdateEPG process should run right after the Update EPG logic before the recurring recordings process is run. This would allow "tweaked" guide data to be added into the scheduled recording table. An example is a recent thread that talked about manually adding the OAD to the description. Users need to preporcess files but it is trivial in a sqlite script
Code:
update epg_event
set subtitle = substr(original_air_date,1,4)
where unique_id like 'MV%'
because it impossible to do with the post update process. It should probably run in this area.
Hello! I got my tv guide issue settled, but now I have another issue. Recordings made thru NextPVR (Using Kodi as a frontend), have their audio messed up. It's intermittent, and the video never glitches, but the audio will sometimes sound like it's being played 2-3 times over itself, almost like an echo.
It comes and goes, and seems to happen one more than one channel. (Live TV is fine, only recordings have this)
I've done two installs of NPVR and, eventually, the "Manage Recordings" link in the NEWA web interface always breaks. I get a Server Error/Runtime Error and it doesn't work until I reinstall NPVR. Everything else in the web interface works ok.
I have two issues. Actually three, but I'll post the web issue separately.
I am trying a new NPVR setup and everything seemed to be working nicely. I got my hands on an HP intel i5 3.10ghz 2400Cpu HP computer with 16 gigs of RAM, 2 TB HDDs, Win 10 64-bit with a couple new PCI USB 2.0 cards installed. Since I have been using Hauppauge Colossus with three different computers recording Directv "Component" for years (WMC/NPVR), I decided its time to upgrade and integrate. Just do everything through NPVR. Over the past few of months, I've been adding HDPVRs, moving everything over and using network IP tuning. I am up to four HDPVRs and its been solid for the past month (at least up to this point). My aim is 5 HDPVRs.
Recent problems:
1# Last Friday, NPVR stopped scheduling anything "Seasonal". I can do "One time" record and watch TV. I can even schedule the "timeslot" to be recorded repeatedly. But when I try to schedule a "Season new" or "all shows on this channel" request, nothing happens in the native guide. All my old "season" requests are still intact and working. I just can't add anything new. Is there a request limit or memory limit to seasonal requests? Just for testing purposes, I made an attempt to season record "Young and the Restless" which didn't work (all jokes aside). So at least you had something easy to look at in the logs. I also made an attempt to season request "the Doctors" Both had "new Flags".
2# Last night, I tried to record a bunch of shows since I am working a lot. "Animal Kingdom" and "Wrecked" both cut off almost 30 minutes early but my other recordings where fine. This has not happened before.
Something strange going on here... is my Colossus card (in signature) dying?
Suddenly seems to have stopped working. See logs attached. The channel change works but there seems to be no data flowing and no picture when viewing/recording tv via hdmi.
I tried putting it in another PCIe slot in the PC but nothing. Also getting "No signal' through WinTV8 but it's still showing as device there.
Hello! I am trying to get TV Guide listings working in NextPVR (as well as Kodi) from my HDHomeRun Prime. I got other help online to use zap2xml from tvguide.com. It creates the XML file, and the "channels" in NextPVR are set to XMLTV, with the XML file generated.
However, it still does not populate. How can I get it to?
Before I even start this post, I want to let everyone know that the issue I am about to post is not limited to NPVR. But, with all of the knowledge in these subs, I thought maybe someone would be kind enough to help me out
So, I have a windows 10 machine. i5, 16GB Ram, 500GB SSD Nvidia GT860 that i run NPVR on. A machine decent enough to record TV. I had a Happauge 1212 PVR and never had a single issue. I recently switched from direct TV to xfinity and also upgraded my recording device. I now have an HDHomerun prime.
I really love this device. 3 tuners, and I am all set.
So, something I noticed though.
All of my recordings (not very often, but, maybe once per hour) a section of the video (for a fraction of a second) is dropped. As an example, I may miss 1/2 a word. I know this doesent sound like much to some people, but this is REALLY bugging me. I have played the videos in just about every possible video player I can get my hands on, and it is all the same result. It appears the dropout is happening during the recording process.
I know this isn't the fault of NPVR. i have tried numerous different encoders as well. And, no matter what, this 1/2 second drop out comes back to haunt me.
My internet connection is SOLID at my house. Netgear AC1900 router all hard wired. So, I dont think it is my network that is lagging
Does anyone else here with the HDHomerun prime have this issue ?
I am noticing this on channels that broadcast in h.264 mostly. perhaps that is where my problem lies?
What is everyone else's experience with the HDHomerun prime ? Am I the only one with this issue ?
