Hi,
I've just installed nexptvr on Win 10/32b. Realtek USB DVB-T tuner, works fine with many programs.
Unfortuantely EPG is read only from SOME channels (tried increasing EPGScanSeconds to 300 seconds, enabled EPGLiveTVUpdates .... no EPG).
ndigitalhost-20.log says when tuning for the channel and then exiting to main menu (hope this is relevant):
but EPG is unpopulated.
Same channel is available WITH SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT NAME (!) on two different freqs/transporders/providers - one without, one with EPG.Could this be the reason (unable to map?):
CT:D / CT art ... Freq:602000 SID:264 (one W/O EPG) CT :D / CT art ... Freq:778000 SID:264 (one WITH EPG - note extra space between T and :!)
NPVR client is sometimes not working. Sometimes when I try to browse to the PC which is running NPVR, using the "URL" 192.168.1.8:8866, I get a "cannot connect" error.
My router is set to allocate the same reserved address 192.168.1.8 to the NPVR PC and the client is on port 8866.
Using NMAP, which probes all the ports of an IP address, I can see that the NPVR PC is sometimes not listening on port 8866 (when I can browse, NMAP shows the PC listening on that port, so it's a valid test).
The cure seems to be to reboot the PC: stopping and restarting the main console program or the recording service do not seem to be sufficient.
One time it happened spontaneously with no apparent cause; another time it happened after I rebooted the NPVR PC - when it came back, nothing was listening on port 8866 and I had to reboot again.
I am using two Hauppauge HD-PVR2 encoders to record from two Set-Top Boxes using the HDMI out (routed through a splitter to remove the copy protection). Most channels record beautifully, but I am having an issue when recording CNN. As seen in the attached images, all the colors are correct except for a particular shade of blue which becomes pink. It is more obvious in the close up, and not all scenes have this effect, but it particularly appears when there is a set with blue backgrounds.
This effect is not visible on a monitor, only when viewing the signal on a PC, ie- via the HD-PVR2. The issue is present on two different STBs and two different HD-PVR2s.
This is an odd one but I've now seen it enough to start thinking there's something odd going on here.
At this time of year I only record off two channels, Local Fox for 24, and HD CW for the nerd shows (Don't judge)
I use a Windows 7 64 bit home Premium connected to an HDHR3-US all wired together and happy. I have no Codecs installed on this system as it runs mostly headless and is not used for playback (recorder only)
The fox station is a 100/100/100 signal and never drops out. The CW is 100/68/68 some little flexing here and there but mostly rock solid around there, and never dipping past the cliff.
I've been using different PVR systems (WMC, MYTHTV, and so on) and am now moving into NextPVR (which I'm pretty happy with... BUT)
In every single recording I get some artifacts every now and then (normally a single line through the picture)

I'm also hearing an occasional Chirp... not too much hard, to notice, but once you notice it you can't stop.
I tried on two different systems, with different players (NPVR, VLC, and KODI) and all show the exact same behavior... so different systems, different codecs, it's got to be the files. It's also not a glitch while streaming as it is repeatable.
Also to note. This exact same hardware has been recording things for 5 some odd years without these issues... so thinking it's some setting somewhere in NPVR that I missed. The only thought I've had is that it could be comskip running in parallel (the recording system is an older I5 with 8 gig of RAM... so not a beast but it should be enough) Not sure if that's impacted anything yet.
I have a Sony Bravia and I use Kodi 16.1 on a RPi2 and NextPVR 3.9.2 (161119) as the source. I stood up a new NPVR machine a month or so ago. The machine is a Windows 7 Pro installation.
I'm not sure when this started, but I think that it started about the time I stood up the new NPVR machine, but my TV turns on a random times. Usually it happens when I'm not home, or during the night when I'm asleep. However, I witnessed it personally for the first time. I was sitting working at the computer when I heard the TV click on. I watched it start up, and then I saw the channel list populate, just as if I had rebooted the Pi. Whenever I reboot the Pi, it pulls the channel list from the PVR and populates the channel list.
Is there something in the configuration that I might have set that would cause this? Something that would send a signal to the Pi and then to my TV? I've looked through the logs. What I find interesting is that at the top of the NPVR.log is what appears to be NextPVR starting up.

This is about 10 minutes after the the TV mysteriously turned on. There are no entries for the time period of when the TV turned on, at least not in the NPVR.log. There are entries in the web.log and NRecord.log for that time period, but they look benign.
I was out of town last week and Microsoft installed several updates to my Windows 10 machine. Now NEXTPVR runs and records fine, but I cannot playback files. At first the video decoder was disabled. I tried other decoders and now no playback. I have uninstalled software and downloaded and installed 3.9.2. When I try playback or live TV, Microsoft says "NextPVR has stopped working" Please help. I have attached logs. Thanks.
Hi All,
Upgraded to Kodi 17.1 last night on my Android 5 tablet (did an uninstall of 17.0 & fresh install of 17.1). Kodi launches fine w/o addons, but when I add NextPVR, it crashes when starting. This didn't happen on 17.0. Any ideas? Thanks.
