Sub,
I posted something to the kodi.tv forums about not getting recordings to auto refresh.
I put my kodi.log in the zip with my NPVR logs.
.116 = Win10 NPVR Server
.124 = LibreELEC (Kodi 16.1) on a Raspberry Pi 2
I restarted both, started a recording in NPVR and then cancelled it after 5 seconds. I waited 10 minutes and checked the RPi and it didn't show up. I rebooted the RPi and it was there.
I've got the latest version of NextPVR installed.
I wanted to see the guide so I pointed the browser on my Android phone on my home network to \\server:8866
The guide came right up. And after playing around with it for a few minutes, I found that I could actually watch live tv and recorded shows on my phone. I didn't have to do any configuration to be able to watch shows on my phone on my home network. It just worked.Needless to say, I was very impressed and pleasantly surprised.
So something is Transcoding the stream, correct?
From what I've read, NEWA is hosted on port 8866 and it will transcode to devices if the user has VLC (which I do) installed on their server.
But I also seemed to see that sub has transcoding built in to NextPVR.
I'd like a bit more information about the architecture because I want to understand it better.
NEWA is a bolt on to NextPVR that's now included with NextPVR by default, correct?
Is there any other web based TV Guide service that is installed by default with NextPVR or is NEWA the one and only?
Are there in fact two ways to transcode with NextPVR or just one?
Here's where I'm going with this...
It seems like someone could easily have a Roku channel that would present the NEWA data to the user. Or an Android app. Or is there something special about the player that NEWA was using to present the actual video?
If NextPVR is doing transcoding now, for someone who has simple placeshifting needs, I'm not seeing a reason that they would need Kodi, Plex or something like it.
Any thoughts along these lines would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

I am trying to get episode numbers in the filenames when I record my shows but I can't figure out how to do this. Is there a way for NPVR to pick it up from the XML file? I looked and there is an "episode number tag".
Related question, can I have it so NPVR does not add the time as a suffix at the end of a recording file name (e.g., The Simpsons 20160611-1200-1300.ts)?
Finally, can't get NPVR to show the EPG between 10PM and 12AM. It is just blank in the NPVR modern browser.
So if you have multiple sources/devices for the same channels how does nextpvr decide which device to get the channel from?
I want to change the priority of my devices so that one of my devices is preferred.
What does the priority in the devices tab do?
What does reverse priority for live tv tick box do?
I changed the priority in the devices tab to put the preferred device to the top but nextpvr still plays it from the other device, I can see this in status in the tray icon.
Thanks for all your work on the project its amazing btw.
Would it be possible to speed up setting Recurring Recordings priority?
At the moment, you can set priority by using Ctrl-[Right Arrow]/Ctrl-[Left Arrow].
However, with a set or 80 recordings, setting the Priority of the last Recurring Recording added, take up to 80 keystrokes for the Recording to bubble up the top of the list.
Could a Move up one page or Move up 10 keystroke be implemented to speed up the process?
It would be more practical to be able to set priority thru the guide, allowing me to "align" tuners by day/hour, but that is probably not possible with the current GUI interface.
I'm running Kodi 16.1 Jarvis on a Nvidia Shield. Before I installed the pvr client for nextPVR auto refresh was working. I could start a movie and check info on my TV and the hz would be at 24 hz. When I stopped the movie then the TV would show 60 hz. Of course if it was a 30 hz file I was playing then the TV would show 30hz.
After I installed the nextPVR client in Kodi the auto refresh stopped working. No matter what file I play the TV always shows 60 hz now. It would be nice if the auto switching would work with TV. It would make for a smoother picture in 1080i.
As a test I disabled the pvr client and auto refresh started working just fine. So it has to be either the pvr client or the TV front end in Kodi.
Any help would be appreciated in case I missed a setting somewhere.
Backstory I moved some of my 300-400 media files (TV episodes) to a different drive and NPVR dutifully removed them from its database. I didn't catch it in time so all the various methods of fixing the problem didn't work. I played with VidImport.exe but don't recall why I wasn't satisfied with the results. Thus was born VideoConduit.
What does VideoConduit do?
VideoConduit (VC) scans a directory for media files, parses episode information from the filenames by configurable settings (Season/Episode details, or by Air Date details), obtains episode details from http://thetvdb.com, and creates scheduled_recording records in the NPVR DB (and/or creates a normal import .XML file too).
Version 2 Release Notes (May 2020)
TVDB changed their API. Leveraged an updated 3rd party library which changed the innards of the app.
Added a show picker dialog.
Version 1.x will no longer function due to TVDB API changes.
Notes/Usage Tips
Backup your NPVR DB before starting to be safe.
Adjust the .config if needed. The path to the NPVR DB (NPVRSQLiteConnectionString) must be correct.
You can adjust the REGEXs that parse filenames as long as you keep the named capture groupings intact. Out of the box it handles media file names like using:
CSI Crime Scene Investigation_20131120_22002300.mkv (RegEx_FileNameAirDateInfoMatcher[i] matches the colored text)[/i]
The.Blacklist..S03E18.Mr..Solomon.Conclusion.mkv (RegEx_FileNameEpisodeInfoMatcher matches the colored text)
If you modify the REGEXs in the .config file, note they are encoded for storage in the XML file so that the < and > signs are encoded.
The air date matcher must match the exact original air date of the show or the immediate prior day.
VC scans one directory at a time. Scan a single show directory at a time. I have no plans to scan multiple shows recursively.
The app will display a show picker dialog to help in selecting the right series when matching on the folder name.
If the picker doesn't work, you can add #.seriesid file to your folder where # is the exact integer of thetvdb.com series id. If the folder contains this, it will not attempt to match on folder name. For instance, in the screenshot below, to match on the show "Arrows on the Bowstring" add an empty file to the show directory named: 336201.seriesid
Includes a API key to the TheTVDB.com in setting TheTVDBAPIKey. You can get your own for free (at time of post) if it goes defunct.
Need the .Net Framework 4.7.
Tested on US English environment.

I'm trying to get external streaming going, I have external set to true in the config-web.xml, i can login to NEWA and get the main page, but if i click on 'Now' for Live TV there is nothing to click on, I see this in the logs:

I noticed after a week or so my Web.log was large, tons of Debug messages. I have NextPvr server set with Modern Web and running with Kodi. It works very well, but the attached files are small sample of the amount of data. It was created after a Re-booted and less than 2 minutes active with Kodi. Also is there a way to connect with Kodi without enabling the server interface. Tried the 127.0.0.1:8866 but only works with the server started. Couple of forums mentioned you do not have to enable the nextPVR server to interface with Kodi. Only way I can connect is to enable the server, and either use classic or Modern Web.
thanks, otherwise everything is working perfect! Concern is the NextPVR log file is on my SSD and its TV season and fills up fast.
Hello, I can't get my tuner to (fully) work with npvr and I would like some help.
[Hard and Soft]ware:
~2 year old PC running windows 10 (Haswell i5 if that matters)
Hauppage WinTV dualHD Product Page
The problem:mad::
I when I am in the settings menu in npvr, and I scan for QAM channels, I get none in most cases (see below).
Why this makes no sense:confused::
When I select "52 test" as the channels to scan, I find 3 channels, but when I select "All Countries"(I tried a few other selections), the scan finds none. The channels that it successfully scans can be watched as live TV through npvr. Furthermore, when using the cruddy software that came with this tuner, I can watch many (100+) different channels.
I believe I have attached my log files. If you have any questions, please ask away.
