On my installation, the NextPVR addon crashes Kodi incessantly. The amount of time it takes to crash is pretty random; as soon as a minute or two, sometimes 10 or 15 minutes. It doesn't matter if I'm watching TV or not; if the app is enabled, it will crash Kodi before too long. It makes the addon basically unusable. If I disable TV in the Kodi settings, there are no crashes. I think it may be related to accessing the server through the internet; client is at a remote site, accessing the server through the internet.

I think the problem started when I upgraded to Kodi 16; before that, there were no problems. I'm on an Ubuntu platform, was on 14.04, but have updated since to 16 and still see the crashes.

Present versions:
Kodi: 16.1
NextPVR addon: 1.12.17
Ubuntu: 16.04 LTS 64-bit
Hardware: ASUS Chromebox, Intel Celeron 2955U @ 1.40 GHz, Intel Haswell Mobile Graphics
TV Tuner: SiliconDust HDHomeRun

I have it running on two other boxes also using Ubuntu 14.04 and have no problems. The most unique thing about this particular platform is that it is accessing the NextPVR server through the internet; the other two boxes are on my home network along with the server and tuner. I believe I have seen similar crashes on the Android platform when accessing the server through the internet as well.

I'm attaching the Kodi crashlog. If there are other logs that would be valuable, let me know and I can send them along. I've looked at the regular Kodi logs, and they don't seem to say anything (to my view), Kodi just disappears.

Any help would really be appreciated... especially with football season coming... I don't want to abandon NextPVR, but am near to that point.

Good morning - I hope I've supplied enough information to get help from the experts

SYSTEM:

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
2 x SKNET MonsterX3 BDA DVB-T tuners which are getting the signal via rooftop aerial
[terrestrial broadcast from the Sutton Coldfield mast, West Midlands, UK]
NVPR 3.7.7 with 11 channels the same on both tuners [copied across automatically by NVPR]
EPG set up correctly

PROBLEM:

[1] The 6 'radio' channels have stuttering audio when I live stream them
[Channels: BBC radio 2, 3, 4, 4Extra, 6 & World Service]

[2] But if I record a radio channel that stutters it doesn't stutter in playback

[3] The 5 'TV' channels are perfect streaming live video & perfect streaming live audio with no stutter at all
[Channels: BBC 1, 2, 4, BBC News & Film4]

BACKGROUND:

I used Windows Media Center to live stream & record for a few years with no problems
[Same PC, same cards, same channels & same broadcast mast & aerial]
I decided to try NPVR + Kodi because WMC is slow, poorly designed & no plugins really
So I disabled WMC in Windows & set up NPVR + Kodi

WHAT I'VE TRIED:

Firewall & AV exceptions
Moving the buffer directory location
All the different decoders available to me in NPVR on my system
Closed Kodi & the stuttering still happens on 'radio' when using just NPVR
Downloaded, installed the SAF file & rebooted - no improvement

LOGS:

[1] "BBC1TV" = No problem live streaming BBC1 TV
[2] "Radio4extra" = Stuttering audio
[3] "AfterSAFinstall" = no improvement

Thank you!

Hello All,

I'm just starting with NextPVR, and I'm very excited so far! I'm running into an issue where every time I go into Settings -> Channels, and hit Update EPG, it runs through the scans, and then crashes.

When this happens the NPVR Settings window is stuck at "Updating recording schedule". Windows 10 reports that "NextPVR has stopped working" and my only option is to Close Program.
The logs (Attached) seem to indicate that an UnhandledExceptionHandler has been caught: Object reference not sent to an instance of an object.

I've looked through the logs, and it seems to be running a scan on the ATSC channel I receive called "Hero" and then it just crashes.

Details about my setup:
-Windows 10 x64 server
-Two HDHomeRun HDHR-US (the 1st generation ones)
-ATSC Over the Air, somehow I get like 28 channels!
-Running NPVR locally on a server, then using Kodi on a Windows10 x64 client to connect to that server for live tv and recording scheduling
When I go into the NextPVR program on my server, and launch Live TV I can tune all the channels (even Hero) just fine. Sometimes the TV Guide shows partial data for certain channels, but after these crashes the TV Guide is missing from NextPVR.


Thanks for any tips you can provide!
Have good ones,

OK, Kodi 17 has finally hit beta, so I downloaded it last night. I can definitely confirm that the Confluence skinning of XNEWA does not work with Estuary (no surprise there). Over the next couple of weeks I'm going to see about skinning XNEWA for Estuary the same as was done for Confluence. I'll post updates here as I get further along.

I'm mostly posting just to have a single place for updates and feedback on this.

Hi

I have successfully installed NPVR 3.7.7 and with the help of SAF have now got everything working - well almost. I have read about the 'modern web view but all I can get is the NEWA version. It is fully populated etc but curiosity led me to try the other version but all I get when I change the url from 8866/guide2.aspx to 8866/modern is a 404 server error. When I go to NPVR settings 'Client' all I can see is Webserver on/off plus the pin code for mobile - there is no place to change from Classic to Modern as detailed in the many posts I have researched. I found an updated 'modern' zip file which I was going to install but I can't find where to put it. There is no 'modern' folder to overwrite either in data or Program.

What am I missing?

Thanks

I am playing around with the transcoding service and see this

Schedules Direct is now beginning to offer JSON guide data in Australia and New Zealand. Our initial effort will be for over-the-air content; sub has already added the necessary support for these regions to NextPVR.

This is an open beta; depending on the response rate will help us determine whether we should proceed.

If you would like to use Schedules Direct, then please setup an account at our website and send me an email: rkulagow@gmail.com I will send you a coupon code for a 90-day trial. Please do not pay for the service at this time; if we must cancel the offering due to a low response rate it will be simpler to not have to process refunds.

2016-10-01: The trial has closed. Thanks to all those that used the service.

I read on SDRplay.com that someone got the SDRplay RSP-1 working. When scanning for channels, mine doesn't find any when using NextPVR, though I normally receive a strong signal from the main transmitter from my location near London and the SDRplay software also works

Any ideas?

Since the Windows 10 Anniversary Update whenever I watch Live TV using NextPVR after an hour or two (Attached actually took 3 hours plus) I receive an out of memory error that lists npvr.exe as the culprit although looking at Task Manager it would sure seem to be an issue with DWM.exe. NPVR.exe seems to be the only program having this issue, at least I've not received a similar error after using Chrome or Plex to stream shows or recordings. Any thoughts or others that are having a similar issue? Logs and screenshots attached.
