A lot of information I have surfed down regarding use of an R5000-HD with NPVR seems pretty dated, which is expected as the device is no longer made.... However I wonder if someone could point me to instructions for setup of the device which should still be appropriate? Here's where I am so far:

R5000 is setup on a Windows 7 PC and fully working, both manually (via its own software interface) and as controlled using SageTV.
SageTV service disabled, so it's no longer running.
Installed NPVR.
Downloaded NetworkRecorder.dll and placed in \Users\Public\NPVR\NetworkRecorder directory.
Downloaded NetworkRecorder.xml but wasn't sure where it's meant to be located - tried several NPVR locations (\Users\.etc and \Program Files (x86)). Verified its looking at 127.0.0.1 port 6969

NPVR Service starts/stops fine with no errors. But no network recorder shows up in the Devices...

Am I required to run the NextCom basic Windows driver or can I not use the one tailored for SageTV (I thought this was just the basic with addition of SageTV page, which can be disabled)?

Any help is appreciated!

Cheers,
RLW

Neither of my client pc's can stream live tv. They always fail with the message:" The tuner you were using was required for a recording...".
I have 4 tuners and none are recording when I get this message.
Attached are the logs for the client and the server computers.

I think the error occurs is this snippet from NRecord.log on the server...

Any suggestions?

After grappling for a couple of years with issues getting email successfully delivered to some domains (like yahoo and hotmail), I'm now paying for a commercial email service to take care of email delivery. This seems to have been successful, and I can see the email is now getting thru.

So...you may find you've now started getting emails for thread subscriptions etc, which you were never getting in the past. New users should hopefully have more success registering and activating their accounts etc.

Hi all. Have just jumped on the NextPVR and KODI bandwagon from WMC (where including today my tuner worked fine). Have installed NextPVR and followed instructions (disabled WMC) but when scanning it is not finding a single channel (even on all countries all regions)?
Logs attached

Updating epg from dvn/atsc takes forever when you hve a lot og channels on different frequencies, In my case some og the epg is on frequencies where I don't have any usable channels, nevertheless I have to include at least one channel from that freq. in order to get any epg. Is there a way to make npve scan a frequency for epg without having a channel defined?

Ideally, I would like to see npvr do an initial scan, find out what frequencies gives more than two hours of epg and then only use those frequencies until a new "initial scan" is done. Sub, can you fix that?

I am very very new to this (Extracting Subtitles), so, I have what may be a stupid question

Does the files that i record in NPVR have built in subtitles? Or, does it depend on the PVR unit I am using?

I am currently using a "Hauppauge 1212 HD-PVR High Definition Personal Video Recorder"

I also have a paid version of "Video ReDo TV Suite 5"

So, does NPVR do what I need? and, do I have the tools to do this ?

I just installed and setup NPVR and connected my channels to the OTA listings (option 1). I updated the EPG and only got 2 hours of listings. The rest of the schedule is "(no show)".

Is this a problem with using the OTA listings? Do I need to go to Schedules Direct to get a decent length of schedule? How many days is typical?

I've been away from NPVR for a while, as I can usually get all my TV shows through alternate means, but I recently dusted off my old USB stick tuner and had it working with NPVR to record OTA shows as a backup. I was using zap2xml for listings, and it was working well until last night, apparently. I couldn't find one of my shows via the usual method, so I went to get the recording from NPVR and it wasn't there. When I looked at pending recordings, the only thing there was a manual recording I had set up, none of the recordings scheduled with the guide were there, and the guide was empty. It said "no show" for every time slot.

I gritted my teeth and renewed my schedules direct account that I had let lapse a few years ago, set up NPVR to use it, and everything seems to be working now. The question I had is do I still need UpdateEPG.bat with schedules direct? I noticed it ran when I pressed the update epg button in NPVR, but it contains commands to use zap2xml to get guide info, so can I just get rid of it, or should I put some kind of commands in there for schedules direct?

i have nextpvr up and running on a win7 x64 computer sharing with 2 raspberry pi 3's on osmc, a laptop on win 7 and an android phone. firstly i noticed that i have 2 options for audio and by default it always loads the first audio stream that i'm assuming is narrated for people who have bad sight, is there a way to either set the default audio to the English tack or to disable this narrated option?

secondly on my android and windows version of kodi the epg is colour coded based on the genre of the tv show and on both the pi's this does not work is there a way to fix this?

and finally see this post: http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...e-shifting

Hi all,

I wondered if anyone had had any success with using USB tuners via ESXi? I've got a PCTV nanostick 290e and it's passed through to my Windows 10 virtual machine, and NextPVR can see it, but no channels scan.

If no-one's got any ideas, I think i'll just put Win 10 on the metal and try next PVR that way, because it works perfectly with my Win 10 laptop

thanks in advance
