At times when deleting, or trying to go "back" to the main menu I'm getting an .NET Object Reference error. Started happening about a month ago when I updated to the most recent version (which fixed some web ui issues! )
At first it was not often, we'd reboot and it would go away for a while. Now it seems like it happens more often, and while we've figured out how to get rid of the error with the remote, we can't get back to the main menu with out a reboot.
I made sure to replicate it a number of times and I've zipped and attached the logs.
Since I have moved out of cable-tv range I have bought a TBS 5520 DVB-S/S2 USB tuner, downloaded the latest driver for Win-10 Pro 64bit and connected the cable from the dish. So far so good, NextPVR see the tuner, I select THOR-7 satellite in the setup but soon after clicking Scan my computer dies with BSOD 1, APC INDEX MISMATCH This was in a slightly older version of npvr. I noticed some SQL errors in the log so I updated to the newet release of npvr. Now it says that it cannot locate the BDA when I try to scan for channels. Where to go from here?
I checked threads in Support and Hardware and was surprised I couldn't find a solution to the following.
PS: I also re-read the advisory about attaching logs (which I will try to follow), however, I can't find a "Go Advanced button" to push so I'll wing it.
Up through finding and watching OTA broadcast TV channels, NextPVR and my Hauppauge DualHD tuner were working together quite well. I set up my recordings so they would be saved to my NAS, HOWEVER, when I loaded Hauppauge's WinTV8 it only allowed me to select a destination directory on drive C: of the local computer. After a day of pulling out what little hair I have left trying to find my recorded programs, I got Hauppauge support on the phone and was told that their device cannot write to a network location, only to a directory in the same drive as the program. That answered my question about where my recordings were disappearing to; the good news is that these were only trial recordings to test out the system so I don't care about losing them.
SO, my guess is that I need to add a second destination for recordings that corresponds to the location that was "forced on me" by WinTV8 (only 1TB SSD in my HTPC) and then get them over to the 6TB on my WD EX4100 NAS dedicated to storing HD video programs. I saw a number of threads that I mostly (but not completely) understood about how to avoid problems when adding recording locations and then moving the recordings between locations - so a bit of guidance specific to my circumstances would be most helpful and appreciated. Part of my concern is that when I use file explorer to check out the WinTV8 directory where the recordings were presumably sent, all I seem to find are small supplementary like .jpg's related to the show. No files large enough to be a recording. Further, I'm trying to understand the log files, but the most meaningful information I've been able to extract so far is that the time stamps indicate the recording was either truncated rapidly or never really begun. What should I be looking for? (I'm a motivated "student" and will pursue any leads you send my way)
I managed to attached logs from c:users\public\npvr

Hi. I recently configured an xmltv epg updater using zap2it. Works great but some epg entries show a * right after the program name. I have not been able to find any explanation of what this could mean? Could anyone share the meaning or suggest a page in the manual that might have the answer or link?
I was playing a little bit with NextPVR server and saw in the forum that with command http://x.x.x.x:8866/live?channel=# i can play almost everywhere (vlc, android, smart tv) a live tv channel.
It's important for me because i have problems in my config with NextPVR client, but server works perfectly (using kodi), so I was thinking: what about exposing an .m3u playlist like http://x.x.x.x:8866/playlist/channels (group).m3u, or something similar, containing the nextpvr channles list? This way even from smarttv i could change channels. Tried making a playlist myself full of http://x.x.x.x:8866/live?channel=1, http://x.x.x.x:8866/live?channel=2, etc, and it works flawlessly in vlc and kodi, but doesn't work on my samsung smarttv (plays only the first channel but can't play others).
I think it could be an unexpensive and flexible solution to interface NextPVR server with almost everything in the house.
What do you think?
Bye,

After the 3.8.3 upgrade I lost the short skip option and I can't figure out how to get it back.
On the hauppauge remote I had skip >| for normal skip , ff >> for fast forward and used right > for short skip. Now skip and right both do normal skip, and ff does whatever the setting is for FF/RW behavior. I've played with the keymapping but can't seem to get it back the way it was.
Did the update change this? Is there someplace that explains these settings? I can't seem to get the FF and SkipFF on different keys.
Good afternoon. My NextPVR stopped working in February. Many on and off attempts to find the reason have been unsuccessful. Any assistance is appreciated.
When I launch the software it acts normal, like it did before it quit working. When I try to tune to live tv it hangs with a black screen and (Not Responding) in the window bar. I've sifted through the logs but nothing indicates to me that the hardware isn't working. I've done fresh installs and the software find all our local OTA channels so I *think* the hardware is fine. I've messed with the decoders and installed LAV but get the same results. Would love to get it working again but I'm kind of stuck. Thank you in advance.
I had a conflict where the only option to resolve it was to cancel one of the recordings. The one I decided to cancel is a PBS show where the same episode is replayed several times, however, NPVR apparently just cancelled the recording of that episode instead of selecting an alternate airing time? I have that series set to record new episodes but shouldn't it select a re-airing when resolving a conflict?
Also, would there be a way to have some kind of conflict warning always visible instead of having to check the "Conflicts" list all the time?
