I have had a problem since there was a change to a so called more modern GUI. Sometimes when you hit stop either on the remote or with the mouse, the screen will go black and stay that way for hours if you do nothing. If you click on the screen with the mouse multiple times, you get a message box with the options to close the program or wait for it to respond. This happens about every 4 times or so. I am using version 3.9.2. I have tried various decoders with no help. I posted this a few months ago with no help. I am hoping that somebody has had this problem since then and solved it.
Hi, is there a way to look back at previous guide entries eg the last 24 hours so I can go back to a program that I missed to get the recording option so I dont miss next weeks,
I upgraded from GB-PVR/MediaMVP to NextPVR
with a Samsung SmartTV last year but I'm having
a newer freeze issue that is very annoying.
When I first upgraded, a very significant number
of recorded SD TV shows with marked commercials
looped uncontrollably during initial playback.
The first few seconds were shown over and over.
I initially avoided this issue using "999"
but eventually post-processed the .edl file
to remove short initial commercial skips;
this fixed most loops.
I'm not sure when it started but my most recent
issue is a playback freeze near the end of many shows.
For example, tonight we watched Top Chef.
For 90% of the show, everything went well.
Then near the finale, the playback freezes at 20:10.
No keypresses restart the video so I cancel the
current playback, restart the show and try to
skip forward to where it froze. Often, but not always,
my skip forward requests are ignored but eventually
I manage to restart the video at the frozen position.
This gets very tedious when you have to do it over and over!
My current TV show, logs and configuration info is here:
I have X-NEWA auto running from Kodi on my Pi and it all works well apart from the "Resume" function. When selecting this, I am returned to the recordings menu. I am sure it used to work but have noticed this lately.
It doesn't seem to matter if the resume point is created from the server (which works as expected) or from the client. It's not a biggy, just a bit annoying as this client is in the bedroom and it's helpful to pick up where you left off.
Any help appreciated. Logs attached. (These are from the server. Not sure if there are any on the client that might be needed?)
Comskip was working well and all of a sudden it stopped running along with the TV guide script I use to update the TV guide. I checked the EDL file and it is empty.
Anyone know if this has something to do with the major "Windows 10" update Microsoft put out last December? I had problems with Networking and mapping Network Drives in Nextpvr that I found out were a result of the update.
I was getting server errors when I tried to access the web interface. I could see the EPG, but some of the other options gave error messages, so I accepted the prompt in the Windows application to upgrade to v3.9.2. I'm running it on Windows 7, with a Blackgold DVB-T2 tuner.
Following the upgrade I got still errors when trying to run the web server, so I downloaded and installed the 3.9.2. release again (without uninstalling my existing software, so that it would retain my settings). Now I get no errors from the web server, but I can't seem to update my EPG data. When I choose the option to update the EPG from the settings application it seems to run (and takes a few minutes), but when I view the EPG from either the web GUI or the Windows application it is blank.
Have an odd thing happening recently. Playback of recordings made by npvr are locking up if I try to advance through the video. I can go to Recordings and start playback, but if I hit fast forward or click on the progress bar to change the position of playback forward, it just stops playing as if it is paused. the only way to start playback again is to click an earlier point in the video on the progress bar or to click the |< button.
I'm using npvr 3.9.2 (161119) on windows 10 with silicon dust hdhomerun tuners (ATSC OTA recording only). This is happening using either CyberLink Video/SP Decoder or Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder for MPEG2 Video. I can't recall making any changes to my npvr config for the last few releases and I can't really say when this started as I don't often use npvr for playback. I can say last time I was using it playback was working fine. Who knows what Windows might have updated
BTW, The files recorded by npvr play just fine using the built-in windows 10 "Movies & TV" player and I have no problem clicking anywhere in the progress bar to move the time position in the video file. The files also play just fine using other play back clients.
Would anybody have a suggestion at what I might check/correct to resolve the player issue? Logs attached.
Hi.
Sometimes a show recording gets messed up by pre-empting, the cable-box turned off (Hauppage) or weather conditions (HDHomerun) or some such. I would love to be able to choose re-record and it would schedule to record that episode again.
Right now I have to manually find that episode/movie/whatever in the TV Listings and quick record it.
Ugh, I am pulling my hair out here and REAALLY hope that some can assist
I have been using NPVR without issue for over a year now. I never had an issue (except for the initial setup, and, this forum assisted me with that).
So, I just updated to the latest software. I am using windows 10 64bit. Now, once I updated, when going to view live TV, it is just a black screen. I may even be able to live without live TV because I use this primarily to make recordings, but, it wont even record. I get a filename that is ZERO bites in size.
I have rebooted MULTIPLE times, uninstalled and reinstalled the software, reinstalled the KLITE CODEC PACK over and over and am at my wits end...I cannot get this figured out.
Can someone PLEASE help?
The BLASTER appears to be tuning into the channel I want, but, I get the non responsive black screen...
