I installed Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB3176938) today.

After reboot, even though the Tray icon for Ntray was there, "show Status" was blank, nothing running and no devices there.

I clicked the "Restart Recording Service" and everything went to normal. All my tuners showed up in the "Show Status"

I intentionally rebooted and the same thing happened. Ntray loaded but the recording service failed to start until I manually restarted it.

Attached is my logs.

Any idea? Also, this is a fresh install (last week) of NPVR with Hauppauge WinTV-quadHD model 01609. Everything was working fine until this newest Update from Microsoft today. This takes me to Windows 10 Pro, version 1607, build 14393.105 on an AMD. My Intel got the same update with no issues with NPVR with a USB WinTV-HVR-950Q

To sum up the issue, after the Windows 10 update, at reboot, I must manually restart the NPVR recording service each time.

I hope someone (Sub?) can assist. I really want to get NextPVR working correctly. I’m so close and I love the program so far.

I was able to get past the EPG Update crashing issue by replacing the NTShared.dll file that was referenced in another thread.

But now I am getting a crash when scanning for channels, not while doing the EPG Update. I am still using the patched NTShared.dll file.

I also captured all of the running processes using Process Monitor. It looks like something is causing a Buffer Overflow.

System: Windows 10 64-bit clean install.
NextPVR Version: 3.7.7
TV Signal Sources: 2 x SiliconDust HDHomerun Prime with Cable Cards – These were successfully channel scanned, but now NPVR crashes when scanning these also.
TV Signal Source: 1 x SiliconDust HDHomeRun Extend. I have not been able to scan channels for this device.

HomeRun Setup has successfully scanned the channels. HomeRun Viewer can view all channels on the Prime and the Extend.

The attached zip file contains. The ProcMon capture, the NPVR.log, the Event Viewer entry, crash.mdmp, and a screenshot of the crash. Please let me know if you need more info.

NuQ

The channel list that displays as a right-click option does not show up anymore. I'm not sure if its trying to display out of view somewhere OR if I somehow did something that doesn't allow it to display at all. Any suggestions would be nice.

Being and old ReplayTV guy (I'm both old and a former ReplayTV user, just gave away my last 2 working units), I was used to having the ability to have a "theme" recording setup. For instance, I could setup a record with the words "Sherlock Holmes" and it would record every TV show having those exact letters in the title. For instance, "Sherlock Holmes in Washington". When I setup that recording I would also indicate how much storage space (in hours) to allocate to it. It worked great. I'd just turn on my system in the morning and be happy to find a new "Sherlock Holmes" movie recorded.
While I now have a complete collection of all of Basil Rathbone's Sherlock Holmes movies, it would sure be nice to setup a "theme" so I could automatically record a specific movie that might come on in the future. Like "Goldfinger". That way I wouldn't have to be doing searches all the time.

It seems like searchlite might be able to do this, but I haven't figured out how to do it. Maybe someone on this forum could point me in the right direction.
I'd appreciate ant help that might be offered.

Hi All,

I've been trying to find an answer to this all over the net, but still no luck.

Here is my issue. I am trying to add Network Attached Storage to my NextPVR install under Windows 10. The drive has plenty of space for all the stuff I want to record. When I initially installed NextPVR, it took forever to get my computer to show the NAS under the Windows NETWORK tree. I could easily map the NAS to a drive letter, but it would not come up under the Windows NETWORK tree. After a bunch of fiddling the NAS showed up under the Windows NETWORK tree and I was able to add it as a Recording Directory.

It has worked fine for 6 months. Today the NAS no longer shows up under the Windows NETWORK tree. I have no idea why this happened. I've been Googling for the past 4 hours in search of a solution, and nothing.

I've read one post in the NextPVR forum that recommends using the UNC path in the Recording Directory section of settings. Unfortunately, this is only possible if the NAS is in the Windows NETWORK tree. When selecting the RECORDING directory, a dialog box is displayed and the user can only select what is in the dialog box. There is no method of manually inputing the UNC path to a drive. I was hoping I could add the Drive Letter I mapped out that is in Windows Explorer, but it does not stay in the RECORDING directory settings. NextPVR changes it back to the default setting on the Local Disk.

Can anyone guide me to a solution?

Which logs should I provide to see if there is any help in resolving my Kodi/NPVR crashing issue.

roughly 25 to 90 minutes after tuning in live ota channel or starting a recording my win7 64 system will freak-out and crash. Watching any video on kodi that was not recorder via NPVR never fails, watching any and all OTA live or DVR'ed programming on NPVR (front end, not through KODI) never fails. combine the two and I seem to be getting a crap sandwich. Driving me bonkers.

Thanks.

I had everything working fine with NextPVR and Windows 10 until the anniversary update screwed up my computer. I had to do a reset but lost all of my NPVR settings. Now I am trying to remember how to setup the HDHomeRun Prime without a cablecard. It all works using the HDHomeRun Setup software and viewer, but NPVR cannot find any QAM channels. The only thing I could find searching the forums was to disable the firewall and antivirus which I had already tried but did not help. Since it was all working relatively recently, I'm sure I am forgetting something obvious. I have attached the logs from my last attempt.

Thanks.
Kevin

I have NextPVR setup on my HPmicroserver as a backend and Kodi on my HTPC with the NextPVR plugin and that is working.

I would like to try the NextPVR client on my HTPC but I cant get it to connect to the backend,

Under NEXTPVR/DEVICES on my HTPC I have Act as a Client ticked and my Server name "PROLIANT" entered in the server name text box, the database share is "\\PROLIANT\npvr", the Send WOL is also ticked.

I can ping "PROLIANT" from a dos prompt on the HTPC.

If I then choose LIVE TV on my client I get a msg, "No Channels have been setup, These can be setup on the settings>devices screen"

On that screen, it just says "initialising device scan", all the other buttons on this screen and grey except for OK/CANCEL

I am sure I am just missing something obvious!

Please help.

Regards, Simon

I should add, I am only wanting to try the NextPVR client as although Kodi with the NextPVR client is working, It sometimes freezes when watching live TV and I am trying to see if the issue is Next PVR or Kodi.

I'm a relative newbie still learning my way around NPVR. So far I'm really liking it, though I use TV Listings rather than TV Guide because seeing the star ratings in the guide is important to me.

I have been importing schedule data through zap2it via zap2xml. I've just tried Schedules Direct since it seems like it should be more convenient. The switchover was surprisingly easy, but then I noticed - no star ratings anymore.

Looking through the forum, I see references to something called "epgextra" that sounds like it would get the star ratings back, but the posts I found are old and the links to get to it don't work. Is this what I need?

Can someone point me at how to get star ratings into the EPG if my source is Schedules Direct? And if you have to do it indirectly through XMLTV, is there really any benefit to it over staying with zap2xml?

Thanks!

I have several records where Event_details is generating an error message and it is likely why my recurring recordings no longer work as well. I also cannot export recordings successfully if I wanted to start over with a new install.

Here is an example of the error:

2016-08-24 02:51:43.794 [ERROR][14] Unexpected error parsing EPGEvent xml: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I have a few hundred of these that I want to fix.

Brief history: I tried to edit the event_details of one recording of Saturday Night live where they aired a Prince tribute after he died and the Guide data had some repeat episode, so I wanted to have the correct description in the database. Well I ran the SQL update and stupidly forgot the "WHERE OID = nnn" clause trashing every record. I asked for help too late and the backup copies of the recordings had rolled past a salvageable version. I did have a backup of the npvr.db3 file that was a few months old so I was able to salvage about 80% of the data.

I then used vidImport to get descriptions of the files I had in my recordings directory and wrote a program to update the event_details on the bad records. I was able to fix the filenames of all my records but apparently the data I constructed for event_details is missing something.

If you can give me a clue what is wrong with the entry above, I can probably fix the other records. I have tried to attached the full log zip file but I am getting an error so I only zipped the Nrecord.log file and attached it.

Thanks for any direction you can give me.
