I have set up three groups of programs in NextPVR. One for current programs, one for the classic movies collection my wife and I are building, and one for programs from our youth when we missed lots of episodes because we weren't home at the time. I am trying to use filter so that when we want to watch current programs we don't have to wade through all the movies and old programs we've recorded when we explore "What's New" or "Ready." Any way to get Filter to work?
As mentioned in another thread, SchedulesDirect has quit on me. So I tried to record a two-hour show using manual recording. I set the start-time for 8 pm and the end-time for 10 pm. The recording started correctly at 8, but stopped at precisely 8:30 pm.
Strangely, the "Date Modified" field in WinXP shows "10:00 pm" (as if that was when the file was closed), but the file-length is one quarter of what it should be, MediaInfo says that it is only 29:57 long, and it does end after 30 minutes when I play it.
Because SchedulesDirect is broken, the guide shows "(no show details)" every half-hour on every channel. In other words, every show is represented as being only one half-hour long in the guide. Could this be why the recording stopped after a half-hour? Or is there something else that could be wrong?
NextPVR is truly a great program, but this is not the first time it has had my wife singing the praises of Tivo. And it's typically been a problem with SchedulesDirect.
The NFL doubleheader on CBS Sunday ran past its scheduled end time by 20 minutes. I would expect that NextEnd would have told later scheduled recordings(somehow?) on CBS to extend record times by 20 minutes. This did not happen. "Elementary" was scheduled to begin at 10:30PM and did begin recording at that time but the end time was not extended. I am having difficulty understanding the logs.
I've attached the logs for 11/6/16 hoping the answer is in there. Did I get something wrong?
Very slow menu navigation in web client running KODI 17 on LibreElec. Almost 1 second delay between pressing cursor on remote or keyboard and movement on screen. Normal navigation speed in KODI and non web client X-NEWA.
First became a problem on RPi2 client. Server reboots every night so later KODI 16 client runs ok. If I then reboot the client with the KODI 17 SD card everything works normally until the server reboots overnight. If the KODI 17 card is used first after a server reboot the slow navigation returns. If I then reboot just the client using the KODI 16 card this also has the slow navigation problem which a server reboot cures.
It looks like the first time a client accesses the server some setting is made on the server and for some reason the RPi2 setup doesnât like the settings created by a KODI 17 client. I did once see the problem using my AMD E450 powered client and today my temp replacement for the RPi2 an old Pentium 4 running KODI 17 for two weeks today has the slow menu navigation in the web client so reverted to KODI 16! My Celeron client running KODI 17 is still working ok. It does not seem to make any difference which version of X-NEWA I use.
Hi,
I can not start TV Guide at the moment.
It comes withe a .NET error - See attachment.
as A additional information was I Using : combined.xmltv.se XMLTV source which not has been discontinued, I have now switched to Honeybee.it, but it has not helped.
I am on 3.8.3 (160929) Which I believe is the latest build.
I have already swapped the RAM and motherboard, as well as installed the latest motherboard chipset drivers inf files, the latest nVidia graphic adapter drivers, and the latest Hauppauge USB Dual HD drivers. I may try swapping out the PSU, but am asking this question in advance, so I can prepare for a complete rebuild.
I have a channel and Sub-channel suddenly not working. This same channel works fine in WMC with the same system and tuner. This is one of the strongest signals in the region.
I get no sound and a black screen in live TV. Recording gives me a 0 byte file.
All other channels work great, even the ones with weak signal.
I tried:
Rebooting
Reinstall of NPVR
Device Setup
Update EPG
Nothing seems to work. This is the first channel in my channel lineup.
I need some simple "signal strength" software to help me properly align my outdoor antenna.
Unfortunately, the only such software I've found is ONLY for Hauppaugh tuners, and that isn't what I'm using. I've just purchased an "antenna rotator" to adjust the direction of my antenna for the best possible reception for each channel (no more sacrificing a few stations because they just happen to be coming from the wrong direction.) Because of this, simply going by "which direction picks up the most stations" isn't what I need.
The signal strength indicator built into WMC isn't terribly useful, since it doesn't show the affects of adjustments in real time, and only shows the strength while scanning ALL channels.
Does anyone know of any decent signal strength software that'll show me in real time the best position(s) for my antenna?
Hello. wondering if anyone can offer a suggestion? I have a win 10 pc setup with Nextpvr on Ethernet and it appears to work as expected provided I am at the controls in front of the pc. However if I connect to the PC by LAN from elsewhere in the house NextPVR plays the screens at port 8866 for 5 minutes or a little less and then puts the pc to sleep. It will even put the pc to sleep if I start streaming a recording to myself over the lan. If I send it a WOL magic packet it comes back to life and I can get it going again (but not elegantly) for a few minutes until it goes to sleep again.
Yes of course I have the sleep setting in Power set for 5 minutes. However in my thinking the PC is not idle in this case and so should stay powered on.
The clocks were set back one hour last night, and this morning several
scheduling problems arose.
The first and most obvious one is that manually scheduled recordings
are now scheduled for an hour earlier. Thus, "BBC-8-10am" in the
recurring_recording table is shown with a StartTime of 12:00 (GMT) and
an EndTime of 14:00, which is 8-10am in EDT and is correct, but is
7-9am in EST, which is not correct.
I have a bunch of these, so this is quite a mess. I'm trying to think
of the easiest fix. The one I'm currently considering is to write a
script that finds all the manually scheduled records in
recurring_recording, and increases the StartTime and EndTime by one
hour. Then I could run the script in reverse in the springtime. I'm
going to let things sit for a few days and see how things work out,
and perhaps try this idea next weekend. If anyone has any better
suggestions, let me know.
The second issue is that a number of network shows are simply not
being recorded. They're simply being skipped, with no reason given,
even though they're shown as "New" in the nextpvr UI grid. Here's a
typical log entry after running with the -recurring option:
(I don't know why it shows a StartTime date of 11-10, since I
scheduled this program on 9/28, at the beginning of the season, and
several shows have already been recorded.)
This was a brand new episode, never previously recorded, and is shown
as "New" in the UI grid. However, that episode number EP007537910276
does appear in the "recently_deleted" table for whatever reason,
possibly some bug related to setting the clock back.
One thing that I do that's non-standard is that I have a script that
runs automatically twice a day and moves all the "*.ts" files into
other directories. I've been doing this from day one with nextpvr,
and it's never caused me any problems. But perhaps this new problem
is related to that.
Anyway, I fixed this problem by deleting all records in the
recently_deleted table, and that solved the problem.
I noticed that someone else posted a thread this morning in the
"support" forum that says that some shows are not being scheduled.
Perhaps this is the same problem, as this time change is occurring in
much of the country today, while it happened in some European
countries a week ago.
*** Update:
Just before posting this message, I did some further checking, and
apparently there's some confusion in the Schedules Direct listings as
to whether the 11/9 episode is a repeat of the previous week's
episode. On the other hand, the same problem occurred with other
programs, such as "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" for which there
is clearly a new episode. Please ignore the second issue for now, and
I'll post more information when I have it, maybe next weekend. I
apologize for any confusion I may have caused.
