Hi! Trying to setup a NextDVR server on the Windows 10 side of my Parallels setup. Two issues:
1) When I select a shared drive for the recordings, a "Directory Warning" pops up: The recording service runs as a system user account, so won't see drive mappings made under this account. This can lead to failed recordings. Consider using UNC paths instead, or changing the user account used to run the recording service. You also need to ensure hare permissions allow writing to the directory.
I've tried multiple things here: UNC paths, checking shared settings, going into windows Services and telling it to log NextPVR in under my user name since I'm an administrator, etc. None of it works. Any ideas on this?
2) I setup a reserved DHCP on the Windows side so that it would keep the same IP: 192.168.1.21. However, when I try to access the NextPVR remotely, it won't work. It does work when I use "localhost:8866", but not "192.168.1.21:8866" remotely. I also setup port forwarding in my router for port 8866. I'm unable to access the server from my iPhone app, even when I'm on the same network.
Hi, I think I might have posted something similar several months ago but was unable to resolve it then and following a complete clean win10 B1607 install and npvr 3.9.2 I've landed back at the beginning.
All the media folders are correctly there but when you click to select folder to view the individual files nothing ever shows, just goes back to the route folder?
It is not a permission or security problem but it's a problem that escapes me completely!
The folder location reside on second local drive HD2 plus I only use Firefox.
Most of all the media was created after install, so there is not a need to import anything to anywhere because it is there but I can't see it.
I was a long-term user of Windows MCE until I started having multiple problems with it and bought a Freesat box a couple of years ago because it "just works".
To cut a long story short, and without boring people with my reasons, I would like to return to a PC-based Live TV solution.
I've managed to scan in all the channels at 28.2°, but this results in multiple regional channels for BBC, ITV etc. It is not immediately obvious which of these is the correct one for my region. In order to clean things up, I can cross-reference the SID on KingOfSat (http://en.kingofsat.net/pack-freesat.php) and delete the unrequired channels from the "Digital Device Setup" screen (as this seems to be the only place where the SID is listed).
However, this is quite a laborious and time-consuming process, and I'm wondering whether anybody can advise on a less laborious way of making my NextPVR installation more "Freesat-like". I know my way around programming languages and scripting languages, so am not too afraid to roll my sleeves up, but I wouldn't want to re-invent the wheel. I see that there is an XML file in the top-level NPVR directory as well as a SQLite file (which I've not attempted to open). Are these the key to somehow automating the process?
What would be ideal, would be to have a "Freesat mode" where you can select a region and only the relevant channels are set up - essentially for it to operate just like a Freesat STB! Of course, that is easy to say, but would represent a great deal of work to implement!
The same stream works in vlc but in NPVR the result is sound but black screen, I can see the temp file growing and I can play the temp file after the event in npvr or vlc.
I tried changing decoders from microsoft to pdvd - not helping.
logs attached , I have a snippet of the TS if thats any use.
For WAF purposes, is there a way to show artwork for grouped episodes in Recordings?
Right now, it shows just the generic folder icon (or whatever the skin's generic icon is).
When I enter each group, it shows the same artwork for each show. That's fine, but it's relatively unimportant there.
I... err... my wife would like the artwork on the group/folder page so that I can visually differentiate between shows.
For WAF reasons, I need to get the Live TV Recordings to be close to what WMC format was. Right now, I'm concerned with how episodes are titled and where it's getting the information. "Title" is showing up as "S00E00 - Episode Name". I'd like it just to show as "Episode Name".
Possible? If so, what do I need to edit?
I'm using (obviously?) NextPVR, SchedulesDirect, and Kodi-Jarvis
Just realised i had not been testing with the latest version which is much better than what i had tried.
When it comes to playback is there a difference between playing from the webclient section and the native guide section of xnewa or do both use the same settings.
To get time shift working should selecting the timeshift playback option and using path substitution pointing to recording share be it?
To use the vlc settings is it vlc on the nextpvr host that is used?
When playing back after a few seconds it buffers for a few seconds, is this normal or is there something i can do to stop it. Reason i ask is the pvr addon doesnt and its gig cable connected.
The pvr addon doesnt always seem to stop correctly and i run out of tuners which xnewa doesnt do.
Hi
I'm in the UK using Schedules Direct as main EPG source. I've noticed this morning that I have no data beyond next weekend, although usually I get two weeks' data. I have checked SD website and my subscription is OK and they are not reporting any problem.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there something more significant going on?
I'm getting a bit worried as I'm on holiday after next weekend, and if there's a real issue it's going to be a minor disaster for me....
