Has anyone had a problem with a single show or even multiple shows not being added under a specific timer?
Example: Everyday I record Pardon The Interruption. My guide puts an * on all new first run shows. I select search for Pardon The Interruption* and all the upcoming episodes display in the search box. However, when I select the next schedule episode and try to set a recurring timer, none of the upcoming episodes are added to the timer, not even the episode I chose. It doesn't mater what timer type I select or any other option settings. I have to manually record each one on the list. As new recordings are added when my XML guide file update they are also not added to the timers I attempted to set.
If this was a single show type thing then I would just keep doing it manually. However, I have noticed that it has started happening under other shows. Fortunately I am able to redo the timers for other shows and it seems to "fix" the issue.
This issue was introduced with the new release. I'll try my best to describe it. I have port forwarding set up so I can properly connect to the NPVR webUI from remote locations. When I am remote I am able to hit the web server and see the basic GUI, but none of the data seems to load. All the menus work, but the guide data, recordings, timers, etc never populate. Never populate that is until I load the WebUI on the local network. When I first hit the issue, I immediately used remote desktop to load up the server running NPVR. I went to the address for the webui and it immediately loaded; weird. I then went back to my mobile phone and everything loaded up correctly; very weird . Here is a video that trys to show what I am seeing. In the video you will see:
from 0-10 seconds me trying to load the webui from a remote location
from 10-35 seconds I switch to "remote desktop" to my NPVR server and successfully load the data there
35-end I switch back to the remote location and now the data loads successfully.
i have a hauppage hvr-950q that just will not find any channels during scan. i've got internet service only at my house and i split it at the wall with a line going to the usb tuner and the other going to my modem. i have used this setup successfully with windows media center back on windows 7. i upgraded to windows 10 and tried the workaround install for windows media center. i got it running but it wouldn't download the guide info and wouldn't find the one channel i need right now, so i was hoping next pvr and kodi would work better. i've included my logs, so hopefully someone can find something.
*update*
while i was running the scan to make logs showing i couldn't get any channels, it found some channels. still not the one i need. but now, when i click on live tv a please wait sign quickly flashes and nothing happens. also the guide is showing no data, if i need to pay for the better guide, thats fine. i'm still attaching my logs to see if there's something weird going on.
Hi, I'm new to nextpvr after jumping from windows media centre due to upgrading to windows 10. One thing I'm not sure about though, is it possible to have my old media centre recordings which are still on the PC appear in nextpvr recordings somehow?
Twice in the last week (30 July & 2 Aug) my recording service has stopped. Nothing shows in the Windows event log for the stops, only the starts. For the 2 Aug event, my available/failed recordings show
Available: Tues, Aug 02, 2016 5:59PM - 7:00PM Untold Stories of the E.R. S8E9
Recording error: Recording service was stopped during recording
[Video file is present and is about the right length. The metadata xml file is missing.]
Failed: Tues, Aug 02, 2016 6:59PM - 7:30PM Cry Wolfe S3E3
Recording Error: Recording service was not running at recording time
[No video file exists.]
The last entry in the NRecord.log is at 18:59:02.458
The NPVR.log continues on until I restarted the computer at 21:07:56.502
I don't see anything suspicious in the logs, although it seems to be looking for art for "Untold Stories of the E.R." over and over.
I've turned off all the art related options (I only use NPVR for recording) and added some restart options to the property page of the NPVR Recording Service. I started a task running every 5 min to check for the recording service and warn me if it's gone - so far no failure.
I archive my logs tagged with the time of the last entry. They are uploaded
-During a tv recording playback, pressing the Stop button will cause npvr to freeze to a blank (black) screen.
-The hard drive activity light will remain on for about 30 seconds then go out.
-It will stay in this state indefinitely.
-Double tapping the keyboard or trying to close the app will generate the windows "close program or wait" dialog box. Selecting close will successfully close the program.
-Observe same behavior using the MCE remote button, or npvr screen software button.
Not always consistent behavior. About one in two times it will do this
-Confirmed recording playback is not playing a recording currently being recorded.
-Same behavior observed on windows 10 and a windows 7 machine.
Latest updates installed.

With my recent upgrade to Windows 10 I had to search for a WMC replacement so thank you for having this great option available. I'm currently trying to setup NextPVR to record all my favorite shows but I've run into a few issues I can't find information on.
Since it's Summer here there are no episodes in the EPG (SchedulesDirect) for most of my shows so I have no way of using that guide data to create the 'NEW season' recordings. I've attempted to use 'MAN-REC' with the advanced option of " title LIKE '%name'%' " as described on the Wiki but nothing ever shows up in the recurring menu.
For the shows that have repeats in the current EPG data I have been able to try and set the recordings for 'NEW seasons' but again nothing ever shows up in any of the Recording windows.
Does the 'Recurring Recordings' window only show data when there is a matching episode in the current EPG data? If so would it be possible for it show all shows that it's watching for or is there anyway to see that information anywhere else? Since there's nothing showing up in that window or the 'Pending Recordings' window I have no way of knowing if what I'm entering is even being saved.
I recently installed windows 10, Had many issues with it on my PC and decided for now I prefer windows 7. I reverted back to 7 and now get a black screen with no audio. I even tried to play a recorded show and nothing. While in windows 10 nextpvr did update to 3.7.7
Neat GUI tool to make Linux type Symlinks on Windows.
I like to keep my folders organized. Space is an issue. For example:
TV
.....Classic TV
.....Drama
.....Sitcoms
.....Etc
News
.....Local
.....National
.....etc
Sports
.....Football
.....FC Soccer
.....Baseball
.....etc
I have been making Windows mklinks (Linux users know them as Symlinks) by hand. Drama's are on one hard drive while Sitcoms are on another. Yet in my TV Library all are organized together. It even works on network shares.
I came across a stand alone MKLINKS gui on Github and it has made my life easier.
In closing, I have stacks of hard drives from salvaging computers. The shows I know I will delete often and not archive (like local news) I keep on a separate hard drive in case of hard drive failure. No lost sleep if they go die suddenly.
As of today, it works perfectly on Windows 10 (version 1511). Hopefully they don't take mklinks away in the Windows 10 major Anniversary upgrade starting August 2, 2016.
Hi all,
I have had several recordings end 1-2 hours early since updating to this latest version (3.7.7). I first noticed that 2 weeks in a row, the I got 1 hour of a 2-hour episode of American Ninja Warrior. I also had a PGA tournament end 2 hours early. I unchecked the "auto extend sports, if required" checkbox, and made sure I had plenty of padding at end.
Today my recording ended 2 hours early, and the recording listing shows the correct length, including padding. It ended after 3 hours 2 minutes.
I am running Windows 10, and have zipped and attached the log files.
