I just upgraded from 3.6.6 to 3.8.3, and I have noticed that the "Play" and "Stream" buttons have been replaced by a "Watch" button. I do love the new UI ...
But, now when I hit "Watch" on the web UI, the default seems to launch the internal streaming player, which causes the NPVR host to jump to nearly 100% CPU. I believe that this is due to the streaming player requesting a transcoded video file format, which maxes out my host NPVR CPU. The video will start, but repeatedly rebuffers during playback (I gave up years ago trying to transcode HDTV .ts files on my HTPC).
Whenever I hit "Play" in the old web UI, it first opens a M3U file that links to the TV program on the host NPVR shows volume. I can choose a media player at this point, which is usually VLC, and then the .ts (HD transport stream) file is played directly over my network just fine with VLC. No buffering, or dropouts encountered. The NPVR host PC does not work hard very with this task, as the CPU remains below 10% at all times in this case.
This is not a showstopper, because I can still launch the old web UI. But I was wondering if there are any other solutions, or if am I overlooking something simple?
I've noticed quite a few forum posters explaining that they entered a command at a suitable command prompt and "nothing happened." I, too, have noticed this uneasy result even though something happened and the problem did get fixed.
I'd like to suggest that a single line be written to the display showing the result of the command. A simple "Command completed without error." would leave one warm and fuzzy.
First let me say that I did a search before starting this thread as requested.
I have dozens of programs recorded, but the Recording page shows only those recorded last night. Frankly can't say if this occured just this morning or has been happening from the get go. Been dealing with NextPVR issues, Schedules Direct issues, NextEnd issues, and Windows 10 issues on two computers as well as preparing for new furnace and air conditioning.
I wanted to reinstall 3.8.3 and went to the Nextpvr home page and clicked on the Big Blue Download and was taken to version 3.7.7.
I then went to Download at the top of the page and was taken to version 3.8.3.
I had previously installed 3.8.3 from within the Settings screen and that was a weird experience and I don't think 3.8.3 installed correctly.
Hi, I updated to 3.8.3 and everything seemed fine till EPG needed to update, the guide now shows "no show details" for every channel. Tried emptying EPG and updating, no luck. Tried uninstalling NextPVR and reinstalling latest version, No luck. I'm out of ideas, hope you can help. Attaching log file my log file. Thanks, Doug
