I like the promise of what NextPVR seems to offer. Unfortunately, I am having issues getting it going. I can't get Live TV to connect. I keep getting the error "Unable to communicate with recording service."
The firewall appears to be setup correctly, nothing else seems to be running on the port, but yet the Recording Service seems to not be running. Restarting the service goes through without a visible error and it shows started, but it still doesn't work. The log file seems to indicate an error and the process isn't running? I've even tried running NRecord.exe manually and Live TV still won't connect.
Any ideas what I need to tweak? I first installed the program yesterday and cleared everything out and tried installing again today. I first got an error during the initial installation. Log files are attached along with netstat partial output and a screenshot of an installation error (shown during the initial install and the reinstall). The computer is running Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit).
After I upgraded to Windows 10 last week, I installed NextPVR. I see that a newer version has been released since I installed and configured the program. Do I have to uninstall the older version, or can I simply download the new version and install it successfully on top of the current version I have installed? If I do have to uninstall and reinstall the program, what is the proper way of cleanly uninstalling the older version? Thank you for your kind assistance in advance.
When I select scan to scan for device frequencies/channels it crashes. I have attached logs. Fresh install, I just installed windows and then drivers/software.
I upgraded to windows 10 and once i straightened out the mayhem with my remote situation I noticed I couldn't type a number and then skip that many times any more. (so 30 then skip moved me 30 minutes ahead)
Was that functionality removed in 3.7.7? I rolled back to 3.6.6 and the functionality has returned. but i don't know if it is an odd quirk in my setup or something widespread.
I am new to NextPVR, I finally gave up on WMC.
I have a Diamond 750 PCI card.
So I kept getting a black screen. I tried every codec option. ffdshow, microsoft, cyperpower, etc.
Nothing would work. I tried messing with it for a few hours.
The scanner found all the channels, they just would not play.
I decided to just keep looking around in the settings as I was on the verge of giving up. The live tv buffer was defaulted to C:\temp. I changed it to D:\ and magically it all started working.
I have no idea how this fixed it.
I just downloaded NextPVR to replace my WMC setup. One thing I noticed is that I get a considerable amount of artifacts on the screen when I pause and then try to rewind a few frames back. As I keep pressing rewind, the picture gets considerably worse to the point where I have no idea what I'm rewinding to. I can probably only press rewind three times until I can't make out what's on the picture at all.
I use a HDHomerun Prime and I have mixed results depending on the decoders I use.
I tried the LAV decoders and when I pause and rewind, it freezes and then go fast forward very fast.
When I try the MainConcept MPEG2 demo decoders. It doesn't freeze, but there are artifacts. I don't really see artifacts when I'm watching normal tv, its just when I pause or rewind and it takes about 5 seconds to recover.
Does anyone else have an issue like this? Any tips would be appreciated, thanks.
So I'm setting up a new Windows 7 computer to run Kodi 17.
There is no nextpvr PVR addon anymore, so I went to a Kodi 17 installation on another Windows 10 machine and found that the nextpvr PVR addon was still there, but won't load or work anymore. Neither will the X-NEWA that was working, well it starts but won't tune or EXIT, I had to use Taskmanager to stop KODi. Except for the times it crashes Kodi.
