Would it be possible to speed up setting Recurring Recordings priority?
At the moment, you can set priority by using Ctrl-[Right Arrow]/Ctrl-[Left Arrow].
However, with a set or 80 recordings, setting the Priority of the last Recurring Recording added, take up to 80 keystrokes for the Recording to bubble up the top of the list.
Could a Move up one page or Move up 10 keystroke be implemented to speed up the process?
It would be more practical to be able to set priority thru the guide, allowing me to "align" tuners by day/hour, but that is probably not possible with the current GUI interface.
I'm running Kodi 16.1 Jarvis on a Nvidia Shield. Before I installed the pvr client for nextPVR auto refresh was working. I could start a movie and check info on my TV and the hz would be at 24 hz. When I stopped the movie then the TV would show 60 hz. Of course if it was a 30 hz file I was playing then the TV would show 30hz.
After I installed the nextPVR client in Kodi the auto refresh stopped working. No matter what file I play the TV always shows 60 hz now. It would be nice if the auto switching would work with TV. It would make for a smoother picture in 1080i.
As a test I disabled the pvr client and auto refresh started working just fine. So it has to be either the pvr client or the TV front end in Kodi.
Any help would be appreciated in case I missed a setting somewhere.
Backstory I moved some of my 300-400 media files (TV episodes) to a different drive and NPVR dutifully removed them from its database. I didn't catch it in time so all the various methods of fixing the problem didn't work. I played with VidImport.exe but don't recall why I wasn't satisfied with the results. Thus was born VideoConduit.
What does VideoConduit do?
VideoConduit (VC) scans a directory for media files, parses episode information from the filenames by configurable settings (Season/Episode details, or by Air Date details), obtains episode details from http://thetvdb.com, and creates scheduled_recording records in the NPVR DB (and/or creates a normal import .XML file too).
Version 2 Release Notes (May 2020)
TVDB changed their API. Leveraged an updated 3rd party library which changed the innards of the app.
Added a show picker dialog.
Version 1.x will no longer function due to TVDB API changes.
Notes/Usage Tips
Backup your NPVR DB before starting to be safe.
Adjust the .config if needed. The path to the NPVR DB (NPVRSQLiteConnectionString) must be correct.
You can adjust the REGEXs that parse filenames as long as you keep the named capture groupings intact. Out of the box it handles media file names like using:
CSI Crime Scene Investigation_20131120_22002300.mkv (RegEx_FileNameAirDateInfoMatcher[i] matches the colored text)[/i]
The.Blacklist..S03E18.Mr..Solomon.Conclusion.mkv (RegEx_FileNameEpisodeInfoMatcher matches the colored text)
If you modify the REGEXs in the .config file, note they are encoded for storage in the XML file so that the < and > signs are encoded.
The air date matcher must match the exact original air date of the show or the immediate prior day.
VC scans one directory at a time. Scan a single show directory at a time. I have no plans to scan multiple shows recursively.
The app will display a show picker dialog to help in selecting the right series when matching on the folder name.
If the picker doesn't work, you can add #.seriesid file to your folder where # is the exact integer of thetvdb.com series id. If the folder contains this, it will not attempt to match on folder name. For instance, in the screenshot below, to match on the show "Arrows on the Bowstring" add an empty file to the show directory named: 336201.seriesid
Includes a API key to the TheTVDB.com in setting TheTVDBAPIKey. You can get your own for free (at time of post) if it goes defunct.
Need the .Net Framework 4.7.
Tested on US English environment.

I noticed after a week or so my Web.log was large, tons of Debug messages. I have NextPvr server set with Modern Web and running with Kodi. It works very well, but the attached files are small sample of the amount of data. It was created after a Re-booted and less than 2 minutes active with Kodi. Also is there a way to connect with Kodi without enabling the server interface. Tried the 127.0.0.1:8866 but only works with the server started. Couple of forums mentioned you do not have to enable the nextPVR server to interface with Kodi. Only way I can connect is to enable the server, and either use classic or Modern Web.
thanks, otherwise everything is working perfect! Concern is the NextPVR log file is on my SSD and its TV season and fills up fast.
Hello, I can't get my tuner to (fully) work with npvr and I would like some help.
[Hard and Soft]ware:
~2 year old PC running windows 10 (Haswell i5 if that matters)
Hauppage WinTV dualHD Product Page
The problem:mad::
I when I am in the settings menu in npvr, and I scan for QAM channels, I get none in most cases (see below).
Why this makes no sense:confused::
When I select "52 test" as the channels to scan, I find 3 channels, but when I select "All Countries"(I tried a few other selections), the scan finds none. The channels that it successfully scans can be watched as live TV through npvr. Furthermore, when using the cruddy software that came with this tuner, I can watch many (100+) different channels.
I believe I have attached my log files. If you have any questions, please ask away.
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.
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:
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
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"
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.
Your clients show now be able to access the NextPVR server shares again!
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?
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).
