NextPVR 3.9.2 feeding 5 TV on my network

Every so often I get a Windows message that I am running out of space on my hard drive.

My c:\temp folder gets loaded sometimes with up to 100 gigs of .ts files that I must delete manually.

Is there a setting that prevents those files from accumulating?

Thanks

A windows NLite build can be found at https://nextpvr.com/client.zip. NLite is a UI client for NextPVR, providing the same 10' user interface as nextpvr.exe, but can be used across the network.

To install, simple download the zip file, extract the files to your preferred location, then run NLite.exe

When it is run, it'll attempt to auto discover the NextPVR server on your network. If it doesn't find it automatically, you can explicitly request a specific server with a command line like:

nlite.exe -server:192.168.1.172:8866:0000

(where 0000 is the port)

I am using a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-3300 to scan for satellite channels easy to setup & when I had got them I was able to make a folder ( which I named Favorites & I could put in the ones that I used all the time.

Have always wanted to use a PVR so I downloaded NextPVR all went well but I can't make a
folder & I have to many chanells which I don't need.

I am 81 & don't quite understand how I can do it any help would be much appreciated.

Probably posted in the wrong place ( Sorry )

I've been fiddling with NLite, and if I click the (windowed) fullscreen icon in the titlebar, the fonts look craggy, like they were blown up from the same size as the initial window (where they looked fine, but they were in a quarter-size window).

I'm also wondering if there is a way to get the window into borderless fullscreen. I tried pressing F11 and Backslash without effect. I also tried passing "-help" to NLite.exe on the command-line to look for startup options, but it doesn't mention its usage with that.

Since installing the latest version, I have seen quite a number of application errors (crashes with force close) - they most regularly happen after a recording completes and NPVR returns to the GUI, but have also seen them as it sits idling at the recordings, listings, or home display, as it often does. This occurs on two different clients, so while I thought it might be a display or driver issue, I can't imagine it taking place on both units as they are quite a bit different hardware-wise. Did not see these errors on previous versions, and I can accept "close" and relaunch easily without issue - until the next time. - ideas?

Here is what appear in the Event viewer - these particular two errors took place after I stopped viewing last night:

I recently upgraded to v3.9.2 (161119) and now my live TV in Kodi no longer works. It works fine in the native NextPVR client, but I cannot run recordings in the native client (see attachments for detailed error). I posted the problem to the Kodi forum (http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=298535) to see if there are any suggestions. I am writing here to get the instructions to rollback this latest upgrade outside of a full system restore. Any suggestions?

When using HDHomeRun, all OTA channels viewable.

When using NPVR, OTA subchannels (eg. x.2, x.3, x.4) not always viewable.

----------------------------------------

Windows 10 Professional v1607
HDHomeRun Extend v20161119
NPVR v3.9.2(161119), LAV decoder

Equipment HDHomerun Prime is the one having the issue (we also have an OTA for additional local channel recordings).

We started having issues with 1 channel crashing the recording service. I disabled the HD version to rectify the issue until troubleshooting was possible.

But come yesterday we started having issues on a 2nd channel and remembered we had received a letter from Comcast stating they were in the process of converting to mpeg4. Could this be the issue and would anyone know of a possible solution?

BTW I started playing around on another computer and it upgraded the firmware apparently HDHomerun had a huge update in November.

Can't verify the NPVR version right now but the computer was rebuilt about a month ago to see if it resolved this issue (it was VERY unstable before the rebuild) and I used the latest available at that time.

Hi

Its been a while since I last tried nextPVR as a replacement to my mediaportal/djblu custom grabber/SkyNZ plugin and I was wondering whether NextPVR was able to add channel numbers correctly on scanning and also pick up the TV guide for Sky in New Zealand? It used to be Hoffman encoded but I'm not sure if the EIT version has the same data as the OpenTV version now?

Does anybody know?

Thanks,

Chris

Hi

I'm still using MediaPortal with DJBlu's custom code to allow scanning of Sky TV NZ that automatically adds and remove channels between a defined range of channel numbers.

I would like to suggest that perhaps NextPVR could have this functionality added so that the user can define a range e.g. LCN 1 > 900 (reason for this is that Sky and other providers may have test channels that you want to exlcude) which the system will then scan for and add or remove channels that have changed within this range, this could have a user defined interval to determine how often this can occur.

In addition, having an SD/HD/Both toggle would allow the user to determine whether they want HD, SD or both versions of the channels added.

This would effectively give NextPVR the autoupdate options that many STBs have and allow the system to react to changes in channels; e.g. in New Zealand Sky often put pop-up channels in place that disappear once an event or holiday has ended.

Many thanks for this consideration.

Chris
