Not so much a bug as UI consistency thing.

Depending upon the number of episodes, The Metadata Record screen seems to use one of two formats. One format is used when there is only one episode and the other format is used when there are two or more episodes. IMHO you should use the format for 2 or more episodes when there is only one episode.

See attached screen shots.

My tv guide (schedules direct) indicates shows such as Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow (CW channel) are premium (has a red diagonal bar that is labeled premium for each episode of these shows). When I recorded the first episode of Supergirl, I couldn't play it back and couldn't burn it to disk (using software which I have used in the past) to watch in another room. Is this something that has been done by the networks? Does npvr really record these shows in a coded format so the rocording can't be watched? Any ideas how I could record and watch them at a later date?

Thanks,

Hello all!

I have a HTPC with 3 tuners total, specs are:

Intel Xeon X3440
12GB ECC RAM
Intel S3420GPV mobo
AMD HD6450
Creative X-Fi Titanium HD
Leadtek WinFast DTV2000 DS Plus (dual tuner)
Leadtek PxDVR3200H
Windows 8.1 Pro x64 w/Media Centre

I would like to watch TV on other PCs in the house.
I have read this thread: http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...fferent-PC
As well as having read this: http://www.nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php?...on.Devices
NextPVR on the actual HTPC runs fine, I've set up the channels for each tuner, tested, all good!
However when I run the app on my main PC, with 'Act as client PC' checked, a blue bar pops up across the selection field stating "Initiating device scan" but it never progresses any further!
I have also set the Server Name to 'HTPC' (the actual network name of the HTPC).

Could someone please help? :confused:

I used my client PC as a server for a few weeks while the server was replaced.
When the server was back online, I switched my PC to a client.

Then I upgraded both Server and Client from 3.7.7 to 3.8.3. I had to remove TV Listings plugin as it is not compatible with 3.8.3.

On the client there is no Green bar showing that the recordings was played before,
[ATTACH=CONFIG]43003[/ATTACH]

On the server, the Green bar is there.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]43002[/ATTACH]

I changed the client config.xml RecordingDirectory from the local drive to the share drive, it didn't change anything.

Is there something else to configure to show the status of previously played recordings on the client?

On the client PC, I changed Recording service from Automatic to Manual, is there any reason to start the Recording service on a Client ?

For several years I have been using autoexec.py below to start X-NEWA in XBMC then KODI under OpenElec and now LibreElec running KODI 16.1 but it no longer works with the latest LibreElec Alpha running KODI 17 Beta 3.

import xbmc
xbmc.executebuiltin('XBMC.RunScript(script.xbmc.x-newa)')

Instead I followed the instructions in the sticky and edited the addon.xml file in the "script.xbmc.x-newa" directory and removed the three characters but all this seems to do is delete X-NEWA after a reboot!!

What am I doing wrong Martin?

Never mind, I figured it out. Went into the recordings folder and was able to delete it there.

Hello I've read quite a few posts on here about this problem but I can't find any which have my exact problem. I'm using Kodi on an FireTV Box.

Live TV will start and play normally for a few seconds then I get the message "Tuner no longer available" and the screen freezes. Sometimes if I hammer the channel a few times from the guide it will start again but only lasts for few seconds before freezing again?

Also I get an error when I try to visit the 127.0.0.1:8866 page. Here is a copy paste of what it says:

"Server Error in '/' Application.

I'm trying to programmatically determine if anything is currently being recorded by NPVR from an external console app. I can probably deduce it by looking at the Scheduled Recordings in the NPVR db, but is there an easier method? Link to docs, sample code?

I installed the monthly Windows 10 update this evening (KB3194798) and after a few minutes of play - both NPVR client and kodi clients freeze playing LiveTV with a message that no tuners are available (HDHR Prime). The HDHR does lock up a channel when this happens, requiring a reboot of the Prime. But after the reboot, neither client will play liveTV - only a message that no tuners are availible - but they are!

This is happening on multiple client PC's.

Anyone out there seeing this after the upgrade?

So I have most things setup and working "as exected". I loaded a few directories that contain various TV and Movie type files. Basically an .ISO folder with DVD .ISOs... some .MP4 show and even .M4v shows. Each dir had content of that type (.ISO .MP4 .M4v). For the respective directory if I click on Meta data for a file there, it says, "no shows could be found matching: mp4". Or "...matching: ISO". Why is it searching against the directory name or the file type and not the name of the file? I'm guessing I did a newbie move but can't see what and have browsed around the forum a bit without seeing this mentioned. Latest version of Next PVR, W10 x64 w/latest patches all that.

Thanks! And I can post logs, I'm assuming it's something dumb I did or I'm asking so I'll skip it for now.
