I have several recordings scheduled, let's say there's 10 series recordings......Of those, the big bang and tosh will fail randomly.....approximately half of the episodes record correctly.
The files still show up, but instead of being a TS file of 1,900,800 its a very small file of 1,234k.
I don't really know where to go with this, but I'd certainly like to figure it out. As I said, most recordings work perfectly.
Also, I'm running this on a core i3 machine win10, and the files are being written to freenas, similar powered setup.
The KWorld UB435-Q V1-3 tuners work fine in TotalMedia, Hypermedia Center and TiVme on Windows; also in Kaffeine and MythTV on Linux.
These tuners work fine with ATSC (North America) over-the-air channels (8VSB) in MediaPortal, Next PVR and Windows Media Center.
They do NOT work with "clear QAM" cable tv channels (QAM256) in these programs.
THE PROBLEM:
-----------------
Quoting NRivera637, "This tuner presents itself as an ATSC/QAM tuner. Each tuner thinks it's an ATSC/QAM tuner, runs as an ATSC tuner
but searches for DVB-C frequencies. There is no DVB-C in North America therefore nothing will ever be found."
THE SOLUTION:
------------------
Create a DVB-C file containing ATSC frequencies!
This fix should work with V1, V2 and possibly V3 tuners.
I copied the freqencies from the C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\TuningParameters\atsc\QAM Standard.xml
file into one of the C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Tuning\DBC-C files (using it as a pattern and removing the extra entries of course).
Next PVR scans my channels just fine!!!
I have Frontier (formerly Verizon FiOS) in the Tampa Bay area.
NOTE: If I understand this correctly, this should work for any cable company in the USA because they all use these QAM256 frequencies.
I used the ATSC frequencies from "QAM Standard". If you have "QAM Std Alternative", "QAM HRC", "QAM HRC+3" or "QAM IRC" channels you will have to make a separate file for the one you need using these same frequencies.
1. Install Next PVR.
1a. Make a directory named C:\Temp (Stops the "Live TV Buffer" directory missing error.)
2. Copy the "United States - All ATSC Frequencies.ini" file into
C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Tuning\DVB-C
3. Right-click the "NPVR" taskbar icon, choose "Show Settings".
(If its not there, click the "NPVR"/"Start NPVR Service" shortcut first.)
In the "Devices" section, click the "DVB-C Tuner for Windows Media Center"
(NOT the "ATSC/QAM BDA 2870 TVTuner"), then after "Priority" click "Up" until this tuner is at the top.
Click "Device Setup". After "Country"/"Region" select "United States" and "All ATSC Frequencies".
Click the "Scan" button....
In the Settings -> Clients GUI it's only possible to specify a web server port up to 9999. So I enter a higher port number directly in config.XML and restart NPVR. That seems to work ok, but if I re-enter the Settings -> Clients GUI it throws an error. Shouldn't it be possible to specify a port up to 49151 ?
Hi,
I've been running v3.7.7 since I first installed NPVR in July. I've seen this issue since I installed the program however I've just been dealing with it. I searched the forum and couldn't find anything the same, so I apologize if this is a duplicate.
The issue I'm seeing is that I setup a recurring recording by recording all episodes across all stations. When I first setup the recurring recording, it will record all of the episodes that meet the criteria (sometimes I already have the episode recorded so it skips over it, as it should). However, the recordings stop after the EPG data runs out and it doesn't update when the EPG data is refreshed (refresh happens nightly but only runs for the duration of the data at time of recording setup which is about 10 days worth). I never see the recording in the "recurring recordings" section, only individual recordings in the "pending recording" section. I've tried the "remove history" command to clear things out and try again. So bottom line - every time I setup a recurring recording, it is never setup as "recurring" just a series of individual recordings in the pending recording section. I've tried for multiple shows across stations just to test it out and I have not had any success. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
Hi there. I'm running NPVR 3.7.7.
I had to move all my recordings to a new drive because my original drive was failing. So the drive letter has changed and a few of the recordings have been lost. I changed the record directory in NPVR settings, but it's still showing old recordings in the recording screen.
Is there are way to rebuild the metadata/database to now only show the recordings I have?
I have absolutely no scheduled recordings with NextPVR or WinTV, yet everyday while watching live TV from within NextPVR, the live TV is interrupted and a message appears stating that the tuner is no longer available since it is currently recording. I can return to the main menu and select live TV again.
Other than verifying scheduled recordings in NextPVR and WinTV (there are none), I don't know how to proceed diagnosing this annoyance. I also checked Windows Task Scheduler and there are no record events scheduled. Can anyone tell me where I might find this phantom record event?
I am running Win 10 Pro rel 1607 x64 and use a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2255 dual tuner. I have the current release of NextPVR, Hauppauge drivers, and WinTV v8. I am not using WinTV.
This might be something simple... I've just tried to setup some recurring recordings (for 7 days and The Graham Norton Show) but the show doesn't turn red in the guide and it's missing from the Pending Recordings screen, though there is an entry in the Recurring Recordings screen. Any ideas? Logs attached.
This is really odd (forgive the story). I THINK it all started happening when I updated to the latest version of Windows 10, but I can't be 100% sure (my wife is really the one that records stuff, I only get informed when something isn't working).
My channels were all set up and happy, everything was great for years (this was why I was never around, the thing just worked!!), then it stopped being able to tuner/record the SD channels. OK.. I figure Verizon decided to mess with me, so I try re-scanning, the only channels I can find are when I scan "Default Cable Frequencies 70+" and that only gives me the HD versions of my channels. OK, fine, whatever, I assume Verizon is messing with me, and not putting the SD versions in the clear anymore. So I re-map everything so the wife's shows all keep recording automatically, etc. etc. but since they don't all stack on a single frequency anymore (yeah, I was lucky), I get some conflicts (and space issues because everything is HD now). SO we decide that getting an HDHomeRun Prime is the solution, extra tuners, possibility for a cablecard, all goodness. I just got that today, set it all up, everything is great with the setup and view apps from SiliconDust. I set up NPVR for the new tuners, it imports the existing settings, all is well. THEN I notice something odd, I was able to see the SD channels with the HDHomeRun still!?!?!
I start digging more, and it looks like the HDHomeRun is able to tune the SD channels without an issue, but I still cant scan/tune them on the HVR2250. I tried updating the drivers for the Hauppauge device, no joy, still no channels in the scan. it looks like it just doesn't want to lock onto anything under channel 70 anymore?!
TLDR: My Hauppauge device decided it didn't want to lock onto some channels anymore, but they're still there because an HDHomeRun can pick them up just fine.
I am guessing there are some specific logs I need to collect for this, but if its just the standard ones, I can send those.
I have NextPVR installed on a Windows 7 machine, and I'm using a Chrome web browser on another Windows 7 machine, on the same LAN, to try and stream recordings. When I open the stream I see "http error" at the bottom of the page. If I click the play button I get a spinning circle that never goes away.
(How) is it possible to stream recordings in a Chrome browser on Windows 7?
NPVR server died today so took the HDD out and put in new box and reinstalled windows to get the box to boot up. Updated windows and installed drivers etc. Copied the two NPVR folders back to their original locations and then installed NPVR over the top. All working OK, excpet I cannot connect to NEWA via the browser.
Have attached the log file which contains an error, but not sure what to do as these folders/files didn't exist before.
