I have an Adaptec 3610/hp hooked up to a Ubuntu 16 machine because they only ever supplied 32 bit drivers, and 32 bit win 7 bsod when booting from an external hard drive
Is There any way to get this working? If not as a tv tuner then as a capture device? Nextpvr says i have no devices, only iptv. vlc wont even capture from my webcam, but this is what i get from terminal
v4l2-ctl --list-devices
HP Truevision HD (usb-0000:00:13.2-1):
/dev/video0

One of my old HDMI grabbers device got crushed so I bought a new one from Amazon for $32 CDN and I find it works very well with NextPVR.  This shows a 1080p at 60fps capture and this was the highest CPU and GPU usage I found on my i5 Gen7 Coffee Lake CPU.  The second ffmpeg process is streaming to the NextPVR web player since it is h264/aac already it doesn't have to do much either.

It seems every bit as good as an HDVPR or HDMI streamer so far.

Got subtitles working in web browser on the server. Using win10 nextpvr. 

But when using a Kodi client I get no subtitles. Any idea why?

Soooooooo Im back again for help and advice..... My end goal is to have my recordings in a folder saved on my NAS so they can be played anywhere via my own hosted plex on my PC (intel NUC 13th gen).

I have two options. Install NextPVR on my NUC and select my NAS as my recording destination OR install NextPVR onto the NAS and record directly onto the itself. the lasster would save a little electric by only having one device boot up.

So my issues on my windows install..... I have managed to install the app and I CAN record and see the recording via the NPVR web browser however nothing shows up in my folder. i have tried several ways, copied the location address and put in the recording file, made a mapped drive on my NUC pointed NPVR there, same issue, tried it using IPADDRESS\Foldername again same result, either doesnt see the location and wont record or it records but i cannot see the video file, this means plex also cant. 

when i try to install on my NAS (Asustor AS5404T) Not sure if i should post this bit here or start a thread in the relevent part of the forum. 

i manage to download, but because its not fully linux and my lack of knowledge I get this when I install, 

Houghton19@AS5404T-E6F0:/volume1/home/Houghton19 $ sudo install mediainfo
BusyBox v1.31.1 (2024-03-13 03:01:58 CST) multi-call binary.

Usage: install [-cdDsp] [-o USER] [-g GRP] [-m MODE] [-t DIR] [SOURCE]... DEST

Copy files and set attributes

        -c      Just copy (default)
        -d      Create directories
        -D      Create leading target directories
        -s      Strip symbol table
        -p      Preserve date
        -o USER Set ownership
        -g GRP  Set group ownership
        -m MODE Set permissions
        -t DIR  Install to DIR

if i type -c and enter i get a error  -sh: -c: not found


Thanks for any replies and help.

I have successfully installed NextPVR on my Synology NAS using Docker.
It's working fine, I have /config and /recordings  folders that I can access.

I don't know how to access the actual NPVR program files; i.e. NextPVRservice.exe, NPVRTray.exe, NScriptHelper.exe, etc.

I'm using a smart DNS (dns4me.net) to record Australian TV through IPTV from the U.S. with Matt Huisman's links, and I have been getting random skips and sync issues in the recordings for the past few months. Some recordings will be perfectly fine, but a few have started having an issue where the video skips a second or two forward, and occasionally, this causes the audio to go out-of-sync. I managed to fix the audio sync issue by running ffmpeg on the recording in PostProcessing, but I'm still left with these random skips. There seems to be no pattern to them, they happen across the board on about 10% or the recordings.

I suspect the stream may be dropping out because of either network issues or streaming issues at the server end (the broadcasting companies servers). I'm running on a very reliable fiber gigabit connection where the ping time to somewhere like Google is a constant 8ms and the download latency is a constant 14-15ms, and this is rock solid, the jitter is never more that a few ms on a 500meg download no matter what time of the day or night I test. But, of course, I'm a very long way from the actual streaming server; I didn't run a traceroute, but I suspect there are several hops between me and the actual streaming server, and any one of them could be causing delays. I'm also using a fast NVME drive, so I doubt it has anything to do with the disk I/O

As I remember, the smart DNS gets out of the way once the stream starts, so NextPVR would be streaming the data directly from the streaming server to my system, so it most likely is not an issue with the DNS.

Is there anything I can do to either debug this problem or mitigate the issues somehow? Since this is a live stream, and NextPVR can't go back in time and try again, I suspect I may have to just live with it if it's a networking glitch of some kind, but just wondering if anyone else has seen anything similar when streaming IPTV, and if they have any ideas about how to resolve it.

I am getting only 1 1/2 days TV listings in the TV Guide, and the 1/2 day (next day) has only spotty listings. The schedule for the 3rd day says "no listing" for all listings. 
I have set up my Schedules direct account for: 05452, Local Broadcast Listings -Antenna
I have entered my username and password for SD in NextPVR. 
When I update the EPG I get: EPG update complete (1037 inserted, 0 updated, 0 replaced) 
Any idea why I an not getting more days in my download. 
Since I get the same number of listings in the WinTV10 app which came with my Hauppauge tuner I suspect it is not pulling data from SD. WinTV10 does not pull from SD. I have attached the log file.

was able to get the NextPVR $7 app to work well on my Google Pixel 6 pro phone running android 14.  While UIdroid apps do not work on it.  

But the UIdroid apps work well on my FireTV max 4k (2023) and my older Fire TV cube gen 2.  Also works well on my Walmart andoid ONN box with android tv 12.  

just FYI for those testing.

As a user installing NextPVR I would like icon filename matching to be case insensitive so that installation is simpler on a linux system.

When I installed I copied icons from a site intended for a Windows application. These filenames were (mostly) all lower case. Evidence of a linux person on a Windows box :-). Most did not match correctly until individually manually edited.

Examples of what I would like:

• File name of "abc tv" to match channel "ABC TV" and
  
• File name of "sbs world movies" to match "SBS World Movies"
  

Hello,

Is there a way to tell HaupBlast to send enter after the channel number?  My command is:

HaupBlast.exe {channel}

Are there any switches that will add the Enter?  My IR blaster is configured to send the signal with ENTER as the command name.  Would

HapBlast.exe {channel} ENTER 

work?  I've seen other say to configure this in BlastCFG, but that is not in the NextPVR folder.

THanks!

Jason
