I want to tell everyone here, esp the developers, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
I appreciate the work you do and wish great achievements and happiness in the coming New Year.
I encourage everyone to join me and to give up a drink or two and donate the equivalent price of a drink or latte or whatever you can to NextPVR. I am sure there are hardware or upgrades, broadband costs, mistress's, secret children, extortion expenses or bribes or other expenses that they can use the donations for to keep this great project alive and stress free.
As more IoT and TV devices are created and released this team needs to get their hands on them to make NPVR work on those devices too.
At the very minimum click the links for the adds out of here to where you want to go. I've noticed sites I purchase or search for appear in the ads, like newegg and others and I always click from here to get to there.
The give us a great free project and the best support, outdone by none.
Just as reminder what TV recording would be without NPVR, kinda "It's a Wonderfull Life" moment, I've included a video.
Does NPVR remove certain punctuation marks of the Schedules Direct assigned names of show recorded?
If so, what punctuation marks is invalid and removed.
I've noticed some items since November is being duplicated. All have ' in their name.
For example Bob's Burger.S01E01.Pilot.ts is recording as Bobs Burger.S01E01.Pilot.ts
I have looked around, esp in the voluminous developer section and can't pin the answer down.
The only thing I know for certain is I had MCEBuddy setup to rename.
Finally, if I use an import utility, after using a renaming tool, will NPVR ignore the imported items or will NPVR just recognize the once recorded item is back?
NPVR is configured to fetch Metadata and Artwork from the internet using all 4 sites listed (I don't have a Schedules Direct subscription tho). I have tried on numerous occasions to set the "Preferred Artwork Language" to English or Default but although the selection stays in the box when selected, exiting and re-entering the Artwork tab results in the language selection being empty. I don't know if this means that the selection has or has not been accepted and retained BUT, Yesterdays Guide refresh resulted in a well known Movie - The Odd Couple" returning a Poster which is clearly Asian in origin and the title bears no resemblance to The Odd Couple - at least not in English anyway. The Fanart appeared to be from the same Asian movie but the banner is correctly sourced from The Odd Couple (1968) movie. see attached.
I have removed the artwork from the Media/Shows folder but refreshing this show keeps returning the incorrect images. Could you check out please.
EDIT: Logs attached
EDIT 2: excerpt from the .xml file provided by EPG Collector
EDIT 3: add poster sourced by EPG Collector for comparison

All of a sudden, starting this morning, after over a year of operation, I am seeing that the record service is not automatically starting when server is boots. This has now happened 3 times in a row - never happened before. I changed nothing on the server, hardware of software. The service is set to start automatically, but no longer seems to be starting at bootup. It will start if I manually start the service.
Windows 7 event logs are reporting the following errors:
Event 7000
The NPVR Recording Service service failed to start due to the following error:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
Event 7009
A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the NPVR Recording Service service to connect.
A hardware failure resulted in having to exist without NPVR for a week or so! Up and running again, now, but this has made us appreciate it all over again so Happy Christmas Sub! Thanks for all your great work
I have noticed that since the latest update v3.7.2 to cure the compatibility problems with NextPVR 3.9.2, when there is a Colon in the title the any picture saved in shows does not show in pending or save with the recording.
Of course it is impossible to save a picture with a Colon in the title due to the restrictions of Windows file management.
With the previous version then either NPVR or TV Listings used to ignore the Colon in the title and showed the picture/thumbnail.
Can this be fixed please
many thanks
Bob
I am trying to clean my recordings by re-muxing them because the OTA ATSC recordings here are sometimes a little glitchy. After the procedure the files play fine in VLC and Kodi, but NPVR plays the ts very jerky, and cannot play the .mpg. The original ts recording plays fine everywhere, but as I said has some glitches later.
I used the following two commands to create 30s samples:
When I try to bulk map my Schedules Direct EPG i get an Unhandled Exception as soon as i click the Bulk Map button. It reads:

Hi. is there anyway to add if a pending recording is new (never aired) to the pending recording screen on the traditional desktop view? Maybe between the date and time of the recording and the channel name?
I have installed the LAV decoders, and selected them in the settings GUI. But when trying to Watch live TV I get "you havn't configured a H264 video decoder" and "you dont have a MPEG1 decoder selected".
Using for example MainConcept H264 video decoder, or Microsoft built-in decoders works just fine. It's only LAV that NPVR cannot use?
