What would all you gear heads do with your time if you actually put together a User's Manual. Almost none of the stuff I've had to search for or ask about was very intuitive. I've tried some things that ended up being one step forward and two or three steps back, so I'm a ;little leery about trying something without some instruction.

This file is a compile with a newer version of the NewtonSoft dll since movies weren't being downloaded or renamed properly. This has been a problem for a while but since NextPVR names movies properly this was pretty hard to notice.

When one or more shows overflow past midnight, it is possible to scroll the modern guide so far that the shows are no longer aligned with the proper header/footer timestamps. I also noticed that if a channel has a show that starts right at midnight, it would be included at the end of the listing line.

The latter bug is very easy to fix: subtract 1 second from the end-time calculation (start + 86400 - 1).

The first bug has 2 possible fixes: prevent the shows from scrolling past midnight, or pad out the header/footer to be able to scroll as much as the listings. I chose the latter fix because I think it is valuable to be able to see a show in its full length in one spot in the guide (since it's truncated at the start of the day).

In my patch I changed the time-container divs to have an overflow div at the end with a horizonal ellipsis instead of a time. If there is no overflow, that div ends up with zero width and is invisible (I tested this with a one-channel group that doesn't overflow midnight to make sure of that). I then made the listing thread return back one extra payLoad item in its array: the max width of its line. The caller uses this value to see if the time-containers are wide enough yet, and if not, it adjusts the outdiv's width and the line-ending pad-div's width to fill in the gap.

The end result is a nice scrolling experience where all 3 divs are now the same width and thus stay aligned all the way across.

I don't know if you saw, but sub now adds a Premier or Finale tag in the default TV Guide for shows that the first or last. He uses a different color for Season vs. Series. The data is pulled from SchedulesDirect. Is that something that people would want added to TV Listings? Is it something that alibert could add? Just bringing it up for discussion.

Hello, All.

Just took a look at the new release and it looks and works just fine as far as my usage has gone so far. Thank you, sub et al, for all your great work.

I've noticed new program corner tags in the TV Guide: blue-New continues but I'm also seeing red-Prem and green-Prem. "Prem" is obvious as I would suspect "Fnle"(?) will be but what do the different colors mean?

Thanks...

I'm trying to setup NextPVR v3.8.3 to use Schedules Direct and I followed the youtube guide exactly (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqJ7QiYS3Rk) but for some reason it won't pull any programming information.

Here is my channels setup:

And here is my bulk map setup:


When I hit Update EPG it goes through the updating process like normal but when I go back to the TV Guide there is nothing listed. Any suggestions?

I have attached my log file where the most recent event should be an Update EPG event.

Hi Iain
Looks as though the new naming scheme for NPVR has confused the version check in the System Plugin.

[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]

[NextPVR 3.8.3 - Update Available (3.8.3 (160925))]

Hopefully only a minor code change required.

I'm a long time user of NPVR but haave been having so many problems since the Win 10 Au I'm beginning to look for alternatives. The client especially has become problematical, especially with recorded playbacks. They stutter for awhile and then freeze the playback, requiring a restart. Downloaded files occasionally freeze also, requiring a restart. And, of course, there's the problem of recordings just failing to start after a couple of days and requiring a reboot to function again.

I notice others are having the same problems but few if any solutions have been provided. If anyone has come up with any solutions for these problems I'd sure like to hear about it. I am going to try the different video renderer I read about but that's about all I've found.

I am starting to play with Kodi for use instead of the client. I have a working version that has most of what I want with the exception of the recording and program guide. The Kodi wiki info is woefully short of info on this subject so if any of you who I know are using Kodi can direct me to a good explanation of attaching NPVR to Kodi I'd appreciate it. I already have NPVR linked and showing on the menu as TV but I don't see the epg or any way to record.

I'm attaching logs of both the client and server which hopefully will shed some light on the problems. The 1503 is the server.

And now, after installing 3.8.3. tonight (server and client), none of my add ons work: Movies, Weather, Radio. It just never ends!

Just hoping for some tips & tricks to determine codecs. If I run a recording and it's a black screen, can view it using VLC, can I mess with the codec settings and not restart NPVR? I'm hoping this will work so it'll make it easier to figure out what codecs I need. I've done a lot of uninstalling and installing and trying saf codecs, which doesn't seem to have done much. I'm thinking I did something wrong on install.

NextPVR was working fine. And then I upgraded.
I tried to watch a show and I received a warning "unable to find available capture device."
When I go into settings and try to scan for channels on the device, it says
"Unable to start device:"
Unable to locate tuner filter (ASUS EHC3150 BDA ATSC Tuner).
I've attached my logs.
I stopped the NextPVR service and reinstalled and I still got the error.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
