I downloaded NextPVR yesterday and installed in on a Windows 7 machine which already had Kodi 16.1 installed. I configured the NextPVR add-in with the Hostname (127.0.0.1) and port (8866), then enabled the add-on and exited Kodi. When I then restarted Kodi and opened the TV menu I could see the channels and the EPG, but whenever I tried to stream a channel, either from the Guide or from the Channel List, it would just hang with a "Working..." message. In the end I need to kill the Kodi process.

My hardware is an AMD processor and Blackgold BGT3620 DVB-T2 card. I have successfully recorded programs using the NextPVR web interface, so NextPVR seems to be hooked up to the tuner correctly.

Any ideas for how to diagnose this?

DVB-c tuning (in Denmark) fails to find channels at 538 to 578 MHz where I should get a number of HD.264-HD channels. I try a HDHomeRun Expand and a Terratec HTC USB device, bot both give the same problem. Most of the time NextPVR doesn't find any channels in that frequency range, but from time to time it does find channels on one of the fequencies, but in that case the channels are detected as MPEG2-SD and not as expected HD.264.
Channels on other frequencies are all found. I can find all channels on all frequencies using other programs.
Logfiles attached. In zip 1 to 3 some channels are found as MPEG2. In zip 4 no channels are found.

Hello,

I've got a channel-tuning issue with my NextPVR 3.7.7/Kodi 16.1 and 17b1 setup. The symptoms are remarkably similar to the content of this thread: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=214096

To summarize, channels seemingly at random fail to tune properly when using Kodi with the NextPVR plugin. At times, channel A will tune fine while channel B will not, then the next day, channel A won't tune while channel B tunes just fine. While this is going on, the affected channels will tune fine in the NextPVR interface. Also, while this is going on, affected channels can be recorded (just not watched) in Kodi. After said recording is completed, the recorded content can be watched fine in Kodi even while the affected channel cannot be watched live. Apparently a workaround solution was produced by Sub and was included in NextPVR 3.7.7, but my setup is still affected.

Attached are the log files for both NextPVR and Kodi.

Here is what I did to produce these logs:

1) Exited Kodi and stopped the NRecord service (to free up the existing log files)
2) Deleted the existing log files for both Kodi and NextPVR
3) Restarted the NRecord service, then restarted Kodi
4) Opened Live TV in Kodi, and tuned to a channel I know I was currently unable to watch live (in this instance, channel 817 - CNN HD)
5) After it failed to start streaming, I instead tuned to a channel I know I was currently ABLE to watch live
6) Closed Kodi and snatched the log files to attach to this post.

Thanks in advance for anything you guys can offer!

Is there a way to know which of the 3 tuners NPVR is using at a given time, recording, etc?

I am trying to get OTA EPG updates.
when I run it via settings->channels->Update EPG, it runs but I get an abort error in the NPVR log and in windows app event log. see attached log files and windows event logs. When this happens windows reports (via dialog box) "NextPVR has stopped working" and then aborts the settings app.
BTW the NPVR client is NOT running.

I have read the FAQs. I tried w & wo "update during live TV". the update during live TV seems to not crash.

I have 3 Hauppage tuners (1 single and 1 dual).

I am running NPVR 3.7.7 on Windows 10.

thoughts/suggestions?

I'm new to NextPVR, yet another Windows Media Center convert after upgrading? to Windows 10. I'm having 2 problems but specifically want to address NextEnd here. I downloaded NextEnd from the NextEnd Wiki and installed. I then created ParallelProcessing.bat with 3 lines (see below). I use Comskip in a PostProcessing.bat to identify and skip commercials which is working great. I have Kodi installed and configured but I really only record and then watch OTA TV so lately I have just been using NextPVR to record and watch recordings. Last nights Broncos vs Panthers game I missed the last several minutes of the game as the recording ended before the game was over.

@echo off
start /b "" "%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\NPVR\NextEnd.exe" --oid %3
start /b "" "%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\NPVR\NextEnd.exe" --sunday

Did I do something wrong or is there something I missed in the setup?

In case my problem is related, here is the my other issue. I tried to install the closed captioning patch mentioned here http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post505922. Norton didn't like the file and deleted it as I tried to install and I didn't pursue it beyond that. I believe it was right after that when NextPVR didn't make any recordings for 2 days. I finally figured out the recording service wasn't running. Not being very computer savvy I reinstalled NextPVR hoping that would fix it and last night being the first it did work properly except for NextEnd. I changed the recovery option in services to restart the recording service for first, second and subsequent failures.

Hopefully I have made an appropriate post and thanks in advance for any help,

Craig

I've been running version 3.6.6 for quite awhile with no problems, but noticed a problem this weekend when fast forwarding through a 3.5 hour recording. Anytime that I either FF past the 2 hour mark or watched it past 2 hours and then FF, it took what seemed to be a minute to resume playing at the new location. I upgrade to 3.7.7 and it made no difference. The program was recorded on with NPVR using a HDHR4-2US . I attached logs.
In these logs I did the following.

Started NPVR and the show College Football_20160903_19002230.ts
21:43:22 skip 35 minutes
21:44:07 skip 35 minutes
21:44:50 skip 35 minutes
21:45:14 skip 35 minutes
It was roughly a minute before it started playing again. All other skipping jumped to the correct location and started playing immediately.

I've been using nPVR for 7 years and it's always been fantastic.

On Tuesday 6/9/16 ALL of my recordings (well over 130 recordings for 55 different shows, approximately 1.2TB of disk) were all deleted.
Looking at logs, the deletion appeared to commence around 1830. Nobody was using the media center at the time.

I thought it was a one-off, and probably related to the fact that I set up Plex that day.
I've checked settings and Plex does not have permission to delete files.

I decided it was a one-off and sadly used TVNZOD to watch a recent episode of something without the ability to skip through ads, and pondered the inevitable move to Netflix.

The scary news: It's not a one-off
Recordings from Tuesday night are gone.
Recordings from Wednesday night are gone.

The Wednesday night recordings were deleted at 1846.

How can I find out what's causing this?

Thank you,

Upgraded to Windows 10 and needed to replace Media Player as the DVR. I have an HD Homerun HDHR3-US Dual ATSC tuner. Have had it for a number of years. In Devices tab the ATSC tuners are priority 1 and 2. In the status tab they are all showing a 1 at the end of the description. I can only record 1 channel at a time. With Windows Media Player I was able to record 2 channels while playing back one. My needs are simple. I am just recording off the air signals on a laptop to watch at a later time.
How do i set it to record the second channel at the same time? Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to make an advanced rule with OnlyNewEpisodes and it crashes...is there any way?
it works if i alter the exported recurring xml to include it...
"title like '%football%' and subtitle like '%texan%' and OnlyNewEpisodes"
or "... OnlyNewEpisodes = 'true' "
second one puts error in logs, first one nothing...neither one schedules anything..

if it isn't currently possible, can ability to select OnlyNewEpisodes for advanced rules be added?
