Hello everyone.

I am setting up NextPVR and was looking at the time shifting options. Can someone please tell me the difference between time-based and EPG-based time shifting? I looked around the forum but could not find anything. Thank you in advance.

Been using TV Listings/Recordings for a long time successfully.

Since updating to NPVR 3.8.3 TV Listings continues to work correctly and so does the Recording menu..... with one exception.
Deleting a watched recording from The TV Recording plugin crashes NPVR with an unhandled exception.

I know the NPVR default Recording menu had a similar issue that Sub issued a patch for. Should I assume this issue with TV Recordings would need Alibert to fix (if he decides to re-join us)?

Would be a shame to have to ditch the TV Recordings plugin as it allows you to jump down/up the list of ready recordings a page at a time using my remote FWD/BCK buttons whereas that functionality doesn't seem to be present in Sub's default Recording menu. Scrolling up/down one recording at a time using the remote is a pain (and holding the key doesn't repeat either) :-(

Maybe a question for Sub.

After the recent update to 3.8.3, I seem to have messages in the NPVR log I don't recall seeing before.
Are they normal and should they be there? Many of them appear in blocks of multiples
Examples below.....

I don't use comskip functionality

On my client side a Nextpvr reinstall fixed it.

Server side - the update has not occurred yet, assume the same will be true.

It was an unusually long update, Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB3197954)

I've gotten npvr running after my hard drive failure with the exception of the epg and recording. My HDHR tuners are working and I can watch live programming by clicking on a channel. But since I have no programming info I can't record. My problem is that when setting up the guide I inadvertently entered the wrong password for SD on all the channels. How do I correct that problem? I deleted all the channels from the channels screen with the incorrect SD info and then repropogated all the channels without the SD info. When I try and set up SD for the channels, the wrong password keeps coming up. I change that to the correct one but I've never been able to get all of the channels to update and I'm not getting any programming info on the few that I've done manually. That may be because I've tried to do too many epg updates in the last 24 hours, I'm not sure. Anyone have any ideas on how I can correct this problem?

Hi,
i have a problem installing a new DVB-card.
Setup as follows: NPVR 3.8.3 (works with dvb-t fine)
DVBSky S950 PCIe card (a BDA-type DVB-S2 card) (works fine with its own DVBViewer clone)
Sat: Unicable installation Slot 4 2040kHz


Any idea, where to look, what to try?

Thanks

They seem a bit "wonky"... see attached.

A few of the channels in our area switched to MPEG-4 last night. Can't watch any of them so far. Here are the steps that I've taken so far:

Updated the firmware on my HDHR3-CC HDHomeRun Prime to version 20161019beta1, to be sure it provides MPEG-4 support.
Changed NPVR Device Settings on the channels that show to now be "AVC" in the HD HomeRun Prime Channel Lineup web page to Service Type: H.264 HD (Did this for all 3 tuners).
I have tried the Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder, LAV and Cyberlink (PDVD 13).

No joy with any of these settings. I'm getting a black screen and no audio.

I can watch the MPEG-4 channels using the HD HomeRun View app.

Can any of the other Comcast users post up what worked for you?

Thanks!

Logs attached.

Hi All -

Tried searching the forum but don't think I got a perfect answer to this question.

Current setup: NextPVR running on my laptop, with Kodi on AFTVs connected to my TVs running Kodi.

While watching a program that is currently recording on Kodi, when it hits the spot in the recording where I started watching, it ends, and there's no way to resume if I restart watching. From what I can tell this is WAI in Kodi due to how it's set up (saw a few threads where this is mentioned).

My question is: Is there a workaround to this? For example:

1. Can I just run NextPVR on my AFTV?
   
2. Can I fix this behavior in Kodi at all?
   
3. Is there an alternative I should think of for this setup (IE don't use AFTV but use something else?
   

Hello,

I have just set up a record for Red Dwarf (any time, any channel), with the intent of recording the new season (season 11).

As Dave randomly shows episodes from all previous seasons, it keeps picking up loads of other old episodes, which I have been manually cancelling. Is there any way to tell it to automatically ignore any season prior to season 11?

Thanks.
