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?
I just received a HDHomerun Connect, installed it and tried to perform a scan. But in settings->devices, npvr is reporting it as a Prime and not as an ATSC device.
I tried scanning it anyway, but produced "0" results, whereas HDHR setup is reporting in excess of 50 channels.
I am very new to nextpvr, I have dabbled with tvheadend in the past but I am not new to Kodi.
I really like nextpvr, the main interface seems nice and easy to use. In peoples opinions what is the best way integrate with Kodi that will be easy for the wife to get along with? Using a mce remote for now thinking of getting an air mouse of somesort to allow control of windows vod apps such as netflix.
I see these as my options
1. Use the inbuilt pvr functionalty of kodi with the npvr addon, this seems clunky to me but does seem to work well.
2. Use the advanced launcher within kodi to launch nextpvr and go back to kodi when it is exited.
3. Launch kodi and other app from withing npvr (is this possible?)
Edit does anyone have a pre-configured config file for mce remote which maps the guide/info/live tv/recordings buttons correctly?
