Any idea why my recordings disappear and reappear? I am left sometimes with a blank screen with only two dots. After a bit of waiting the recordinga will just reappear. Other times I have to restart kodi. I have attached a picture of the screen as well as my logs. This happens both with my android as well as my windows kodi clients.
Hi!
very familiar with arch. have pretty much everything working as far as the card goes.
Two issues though,
No audio when streaming to .ts
and cant seem to get it running in nextpvr.
I just want to list the input as a single channel that will open/start when i select it and close when i stop it. recording is also something id like to do, as i have some old gaming consoles i'd like to record footage from, while viewing the content.
Hello,
I have large list of previous servers stored in the android app and cannot seem how to delete them. I have about 15 of them. Need to clean things up. I searched android server deletion but found nothing.
Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

Hi. I recently purchased a new computer and have updated to this version of Next PVR. A few things I am trying to address. I turned on the Transcoding and see that the TS file is converted to MP4. I am able to play via the server. Client is installed on the same computer but it will not play the recorded MP4 file. Is there something else I need to do?
Every Monday and Thursday, the EPG looks like the attached pic, with lots of missing detail. Has anyone seen this, and have a solution?
I use xmltv file to load the EPG. Log also attached.
My EPG bat file command line: zap2xml -d 17 -F -j -D -I -u email@email.com -p password
xml file zipped. It was too large to attached to original post. After zipping and attaching, it appeared to attach successfully, but it is now lost.
Tried it again, it won't take. Tried attaching in a reply, and it doesn't work either. Apparently a zipped xml file can't be attached to a posting?
No new recording since 4/16. I did a system update that day, Arch linux, which I suspect has something to do with the problem. This has happened previously but infrequently. What seems to get things going again is a reboot and then in NextPVR go to "Scheduler" and "Recurring" and selecting each title one by one and clicking ok. This reinitiates the recording process and everything is fine for quite a while.
I'm not sure if there is a way to see what programs were upgraded during a specific upgrade process or if that is even helpful.
I've attached logs but I had to remove some items to meet the 2mb quota. Maybe I need to change a setting but my nrecord.logs are 3.8mb each.
Using NextPVR in a docker container on an Ubuntu Server. Watching a single IPTV stream using the web client uses all of my 4 CPU cores (i5-6500T). In comparison, watching the same stream through the Kodi add on uses 2-3% CPU. Recording is also fine and barely has an effect on the CPU, but watching those recordings with the web client uses all of the CPU again and isn't really watchable because of it's constant buffering.
Is my hardware not powerful enough to transcode the stream/recordings?
Many Rogers and Shaw customers in Canada (like me) received a letter that our legacy cable devices https://www.rogers.com/support/digital-c...retirement where being phased out at the end of April and I have successfully migrated to the replacement service Ignite so I thought I'd share some of my experiences.
This is partially relevant to some American users since the system is the same X1 system as Comcast Xfinity use. Also I read that 18 million legacy cable users in the US will lost cable service later this year with the PowerKey bug https://www.lightreading.com/cable-techn...-the-blink.
The key new factor is the new devices (XiOne and Xi6) don't offer component video out for HDPVR users. To address this there are several workarounds with devices easily available on Amazon. For HDPVR 1212 users there are HDMI to component adapters. You can also use HDMI with HDMI duplicators. Instead of a duplicator I chose an audio extractor since it allows me to keep AC-3 input. The new boxes are smart and detect the audio and video capabilities of the device. I did find I have to set the box for 5.1 since the HDPVR doesn't understand Dolby Digital+ 7.1
Solutions like network HDMI recorders and cheap UVC/UVA adapters that ignore HDCP will also continue to work. The new cheap adapters work quite well if you have a relatively powerful backend that can do VAAPI or QSV encoding of mmjpeg and h264.
Fortunately thanks to user pkscout here I have been using the Iguanaworks LIRC USB blaster for years and it is quite stable and it works well and is very reliable on Windows and Linux. I was lucky and got the 4 transmitter version which is no longer made but they still sell the 2 tuner model. I have created an LIRC tuning file that works very well for all the keys on the remote. It is based on the RNG-150 conf file found in the LIRC database. This tuning file should work with any LIRC device. I don't think WinLIRC supports Hauppauge blasters as transmitters, that is greyed out here.
The tuner will require the channel digits and an OK. However I found because of notifications and screensavers you likely will also need to send the Back key to clear the OSD information. I do turn off all notifications and set the screen saver to 5 hours in the STB settings but that isn't good enough.
This device does support IP tuning which works because Control4 boxes can tune it. However I joined the comcast developers forum and could not find any document on how to to this. If anyone finds it I will gladly create a blaster app for NextPVR
Anyway, once it is all installed as a bonus I found the solution more stable than the HDPVR since there is no issue during the tuning process with OSD going blank and resolutions changing. My worries about the lose of firewire tuning
Finally once I got this all figured out I came with a new use case. I connected my network HDMI capture device to the STB in my main TV room and HDMI out from the capture device to the TV. I also connected an old RPi to control the tuning so now I can connect to both remotely and control it from my NextPVR backend. Since I don't keep the main TV on all the time and often use it for non TV playback I have a secondary tuner using existing parts. True the device has VOD and Cloud DVR (200 hours and 1 year retention) but I still get to use comskip and NextEnd when I use NextPVR.
