Hey guys. On Nov 1st, my recordings are failing with Device failed to start.

I'm uploading my logs to see if you guys have any ideal why after seamless recording they just fail now.

I also notice, when adding a recording or clicking on something in the guide there is a long pause too.

I attempted a live recording for these logs and 2 quick records for the sake of these logs, all which failed. Note, after I clicked quick record it took 30 seconds to get by to NPVR.

I also tried to open live TV via VLC and stream" http://192.168.0.9:8866/live?channel=19.1

Thanks, Paul

Attached are the logs for the missing recording scheduled 11-03-2016 at 9PM. Usual fanart error, not sure why but it did not record. Also seem to put the system in a loop on refreshing scheduling recordings. See Nrecord.log it is very large.

Here is where the error starts:
2016-11-03 20:59:10.395 [ERROR][51] Unexpected error in FanArtTVHelper: System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.

2016-11-03 21:02:00.266 [DEBUG][9] StopStream(1)

The later shows did record, but not sure what the issue is with this show. Happened last week on the same show.

If control K while watching Live TV starts the recording of the show... what command stops the recording if you change your mind? I thought CTRL S but all that does is stop the LIVE TV mode while the recording continues to trundle along.

I'm not getting SD EPG data since upgrading, error below.
I've seen others had issues since upgrading but not seen this specific error.
Should I go down the uninstall/install/upgrade path that has been suggested or does this seem like something else?
All checks against SD site seem OK to me.

For some months I have had an occasional problem where the cursor keys stop working while the video is playing so cannot skip. The “Stop” key stops the video and returns you to the menu, not back to "Recordings" but to one of the other menus such as “Conflicts”. The cursor keys or at least the left and right keys seem to have switched to navigating the menu in the background.

Hi,

So new to this but I tried searching and didn't find too much along these same lines (though I could be blind).

Got an Intel 6700k with 32GB ram running windows.
I have the latest NextPVR installed and latest SAF installed using to record and watch OTA in USA.

If I open a recording in NextPVR directly and try to watch it, plays fine. However if I try to do any skips beyond a minute or so (sometimes even that causes) it will hang and eventually pop up and ask if I want to delete since I've watched till the end.

I found this out because I started using Comskipp and every time it'd get to a commercial to skip it would hang or do the above. NextPVR itself does not freeze, I can right click and hit stop etc. and all is responsive. So I took comskip off which lets me play the recordings so long as I don't attempt to FF/RR anything.

Thoughts on cause?
I am using the integrated graphics but an Intel 530 should be fine for this. I've got much older machine running WMC with an much much worse GPU performance wise hah.

I also don't seem to have this problem in Kodi, FF/RW/Skip works fine in that but honestly for my needs I don't need Kodi and rather just use NextPVR directly/alone without any other software.

I didn't grab logs yet because figure would see if anyone had anything obvious they know or I can try before anyone waste time looking at them.

Using current version NPVRSetup_3_8_3_160929 and supplemental patch to fix deletion of a recording when folder contains more than one entry. (Thanks!)

So, after the latest update the ability to skip or forward through a recording does not work as expected. The recording will play normally until skip button is pressed at which time the video will freeze. Same is true if select any area of timeline with mouse as well. With the debug info on it appears the video counter is advancing to the proper time and continues to count up as normal; only the video and audio is frozen. Press skip once more and the video advances in debug window but video is still frozen on screen. Back button will work to return to the recording menu. Video plays fine in VLC. Unfortunately the problem does not always exhibit itself for all recordings. I've tried all possible decoder options which were confirmed to work in previous versions. Video size is approximately 12 GB.

Any help appreciated.

Logs attached (Logs were cleared and problem reproduced).

I'm pretty new to the Kodi/XBMC scene and recently built a box with all the latest versions of software. Kodi Jarvis running nextPVR 3.8.3

I'm failing in getting the NEWA web-browser interface to open on any browser (IE, Firefox, and Chrome) inside my local network using https://localhost:8866/guide.aspx. The failure indicates the following:

....site uses unsupported protocol or cipher suite such as RC4 which isn't considered secure.

I'm pretty sure the issue is on the NEWA end and not the browser because I've tried the above 3 without success. I've also tried to change the port to something that isn't 8866 without success. Port forwarding is also not giving me different results. I believe there isn't an issue with the firewall, but more of a protocol inconsistency between the latest browers and the NEWA web configuration?

hi

I want to record live tv from my iptv source, I use kodi 16.1 on a windows 7 pc.

is this possible with n-pvr? if yes how does the setup look like?

thanks

Ok epg collector has been annoying me (was really good for ages but lately been playing up)

I have dvb-t and dvb-s tuners

For dvb-t I was using epg collector for data which was good (now its crap)
dvb-s used the broadcast epg data (works great)

So I switched dvb-t to use dvb-s for epg data.
But now i get random no data on dvb-t ive tried extending the scan
really strange as it gets the data from the same place for both dvb-s and dvb-t but only dvb-s fully populates

Hope you get what I mean
