The last couple of times I've had back to back recordings on the same channel using SiliconDust HDHomeRunPrime (no cable card, just straight QAM), the second recording fails and I end up with a 0 byte file. I'm including the NRecord and Ndigitalhost logs for the show in question (Bull, and NCIS was being recorded right before that on the same channel). This also happened to me with two back to back episodes of BrainDead (no logs for that).

Is there some way to turn off the feature that uses the same tuner in instances like that? I'd just like to see if that helps.

P.S. This worked fine last TV season.

Yesterday I updated my Windows 10 installation with the Anniversary updates, and to my disappointment, all my PVR clients (RaspPi running LibreElec-Kodi) using SAMBA to access server shares stopped working. The message indicated my shares on the Windows 10 server were no longer accessible.

In the past, to keep things easy, I leveraged the Guest account (on windows server) to allow my clients access to my PVR recordings on the windows server. By default, now Windows 10 has removed the Guest account, however the privileges still exist.

Hopefully this post will help you avoid a frustrating triage experience -

Here's how I got it working again, the following commands are run on the Windows 10 NextPVR server hosting the video files:

1. CMD prompt:
   • Net Share - This command will list the existing shares you have setup. Locate the directories that you have shared out for your client access
     
   
   
2. Using Windows Explorer, one-by-one, locate the directories being shared, right-click and select properties
   • Click the "Sharing" tab
     
   • Click the "Advanced Sharing" button
     
   • Click the "Permissions" button
     
   • Click "Add" under Group or User Name list box
     
   • Type in "Guest" (no quotes) in the text box and click "Check Names"
     
   • Click "Ok"
     
   • Adjust the proper privileges for Guest (Usually Change and Read are sufficient) and click "Ok"
     
   • Click "Ok" on the Advanced Sharing dialog
     
   • Click "Close"
     
   
   
3. Once you have set Privileges for each shared directory, you need to enable the Guest Account
   • In Cortana Search box, type "edit group policy" and open the Local Group Policy Editor
     
   • Drill down to: Security Settings-->Computer Configuration-->Windows Settings-->Security Settings-->Local Policies-->Security Options
     
   • Double-click on "Accounts: Guest Account Status" and set to enabled, Click "Ok"
     
   • Close down the Policy Editor.
     

Aren't Minimize, Resize/Full Screen Toggle, and Close standard onscreen controls in just about every Application?

Isn't an onscreen Volume control standard in every video viewing application? This is the first time I have not been able to adjust volume while watching a program, except for getting up and walking across the room to turn the knob on my receiver.

I just discovered a new Android based device called a NEXBOX. What I'm thinking of, is purchasing 3 of these NEXBOX machines for $53 each. They go as low as probably $25 for the lowest end model. These are to be used in place of a PC, and I believe they come pre-loaded with Kodi.

Secondly, I just read that NextPVR, more recently supports Ceton tuners. I have an InfiniTV 6 ETH that I haven't used in almost a year, as I got TiVo, but my TiVo box is having problems and I'd have to get a new one, pay for service (I'm still under a free year right now), and of course, I want to go the cheaper route, and switch back to my old InfiniTV 6 ETH setup, which at the time, I only had running on my PC, which I didn't like because I had no way of connecting another TV to it, I didn't own another computer for that purpose, as I didn't want to invest in it. Plus, I never liked the WMC Interface.

That said, would I be able to install NextPVR onto a NEXBOX, plug in a USB External HDD and be able to record onto the External HDD?

This is the specific model I'm looking at: https://www.amazon.com/NEXBOX-Android-Am...rds=nexbox

If this really is possible, how would the performance be vs any other DVR? The response time on my TiVo Bolt was great...when it worked, comparable to my DVR from Verizon FiOS.

I'm one of those customers that was switched from Verizon FiOS to Frontier FiOS (unfortunately).

Currently unsupported also would like to see Actors names for TV as well as Movies. All of this was present when using the now defunct Radio Times feed and is present in Schedules Direct but not being utilised by Nextpvr

I'm having a problem where NPVR crashes after just about a minute of playback. I've used NPVR with and without Kodi in the past without issue - this new problem has appeared after I had to wipe my system and do a clean install of Windows 7. In case it is related, Kodi also isn't recognizing the NPVR is running (starting and stopping the service doesn't help, nor does disabling/re-enabling the add-on or Live TV).

Any suggestions on what I can try to get NPVR back up and running?

Thanks,
Fritters

Had previous 3.6? version of NPVR installed on Windows 10 and it worked fine. Upgraded to 3.7.7 and now when I start NPVR, only options are LiveTV, DVD and EXIT. All the other options are gone for Guide, etc.

Can't schedule, find recordings, etc. Recording services appear to be working as I can remotely see pending recordings via HTTP interface.

Any thoughts?

Hello.

I've been trying mightily to research and gain the knowledge of how to get live TV on my Android tablet using the following three components:
1 - NextPVR
2 - X-NEWA
3 - Kodi

NextPVR works perfectly on my main desktop. I have several NextPVR client machines(a laptop and another desktop) and they work well also. X-NEWA seems to be what I want to move to for operations outside of my LAN especially on my Android tablet. How is this done? I tried several "step-by-steps" and did indeed get live TV for a few brief seconds but I have yet to do it again even after again following the step-by-step. I don't fully understand how these three parts work together. The documentation I've looked at seems to be well out-of-date. Are they still correct?

Can you help?

I have checked the box to Auto Extend Sports recordings. So far, not one of the football game recordings has been extended beyond the scheduled time. I use Schedules Direct as my EPG source. I am running Windows 10 with a HAUPPAUGE WinTV-DualHD Dual USB 2.0 HD TV Tuner. I use Comskip with a parallelprocessing.bat on all recordings. I have no other issues with recordings or any other functions of NextPVR program.

First, I want to apologize that I don't have log files. This is an issue for my sister I am trying to hunt down and forgot to pull the logs before I made my 200 mile drive home. Will get them later if needed.

I won't bore you with the background, but due to recent digital cable changes, Time Warner Milwaukee, we were reinstalling NPVR 3.7.7 (latest version as of today), and found that neither tuner would pick up all the ClearQAM channels (local broadcast, not a copy protection issue). I believe the issue is that they have also switched the Clear QAM to be Switched Digital channels. Luckily I had a backup of previous tuning and just copied all my NPVR folder over and confirmed the channels can be viewed in live tv of NPVR with that last tuning, except two that appear to have switch frequencies as well.

I read in another post about Cton IninTV handling this type of tuning specifically for switched channels. Does anyone know if there is a way to get switched digital channels to automatically tune for the Hauppage 2250 and Avermedia MythDuet A188C without having to rent a digital converter box or whatever they would recommend. I have posted questions to the manufacturers as well, but might get a faster response here.

If not, is there a way to manually add the channels, assuming I can determine their actual frequencies?
