My apologies for posting this twice: I put it in "hardware" and then realized "support" may be the more appropriate place.
I've had a good time setting up NextPVR for the first time UNTIL I got to the decoder settings page.
I read the manual and scanned the existing posts and couldn 't find a solution.
I can set Video Decoder to H.264 = Microsoft DTD-DVD Video Decoder, HOWEVER, all I get for MPEG2 Video is "Disabled." When I try to watch a TV station in the Guide (I use an antenna for OTA stations) I get an error message that a MPEG2 decoder needs to be selected. I am using a NVIDIA GeForce FT 730 card connected to my Denon AVR4806 receiver for video via HDMI. How do I set up a MPEG2 decoder? I clicked on "Missing decoders ... download LAV..." but nothing happens. Video renderer is set to EVG - but changing that does not solve the absence of a choice for a MPEG2 video decoder.
THANK YOU for anything you can do to help me get past this roadblock.
thanks,
Bob
Looking for a "Delete this post" option but don't see it; I reposted this question to SUPPORT - so want to kill this one

I am coming back to NextPVR after a vacation, and working through the rest of my setup. I tried the streaming using NEWA, but see that the defaul resolution of 320x212 is not changing, no matter what I set in the NEWA streaming panel.
[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]
Any suggestions where to look? Logs from the streaming session above are below.
Second Q - NEWA performance -- I can see NEWA processing happening in the NRecord process, but when I search the DB over NEWA the CPU taken by NRecord never goes over 25% -- is this by design?

I've been happily using my Hauppauge HVR-1200 (DVB-T) card for a few months now and all of a sudden it seems like it's just died. It won't give a signal in either NPVR or in the Hauppauge WinTV 8 software. I've had reception issues in the past and thought it might have been that again. The Hauppauge DVB-T Signal Monitor tool shows no signal, however the feed is split into my TV which shows a strong signal. I've tried removing the splitter and plugging directly into the capture card but that doesn't work either. Can they just die like that? Anyone know anything I could try to get it going again, or diagnose the issue??
So I have several Raspberry Pi2 as kodi clients for live TV throughout the house. They have worked well for over a year now except today... From what I can figure last night around 11ish one got hung streaming a tv channel. Since the TV was set to sleep (and me too) it was never discovered until about 4 this afternoon when I noticed the Patriots game didn't get extended by NextEnd. A bit of checking showed a extra tuner in use which got tracked back to the Pi.
I have a script for updateEPG which checks to see if a tuner is in use to delay the update until all tuners are free. Long story short, with the tuner in use updateEPG never fired which also launches NextEnd so it didn't fire either and I lost the last of the Patriots game.
Not a huge deal, but it got me to thinking... is there some way with a setting or via script to see if a client has been streaming for xx number of hours and kill the connection?
On another note, I'm seeing a lot of these errors (NPVR.log.2). Is this anything to be conserned about?
I'm not sure the logs are going to be much help as I've done a good bit of mucking around in the last bit to try and figure out what was up but here they are.
I live in Austria and we have some of our local channels encrypted.
Therefore I own a Terratec Cinergy S2 PCI HD with a CI extension and a so called ORF smartcard.
The encrypted channel ORF 1 HD works well with NPVR and KODI but ATV HD and ATV2, which are also encrypted, do not work.
I attached the log files. The channels ATV HD and ATV2 work well with Argus TV, but ARGUS TV does not support IPTV - so I thought about switching to NPVR with KODI as frontend.
When I update a recurring recording (name, start time or end time for example), it appears broken : it disappears from the pending recordings panel, it says "none" on its definition, updating EPG won't make it appear. The only way to get it back is to cancel it and recreate it.
The only way I've found to update recurring recordings is to update EPG. This is boring, as it is very long when not recording or viewing TV.
Is there another way ?
When I update the channels, all pending or recurring recordings are lost.
Is it possible to save the pending and recurring recordings, update the channels and restore the recordings ?
