Some time ago I had changed my "recordings directory" to a share on my file server (\\file01\pvr). I've been recording stuff regularly since, no problem.

In migrating my network storage to a new device, I noticed the shared directory does NOT contain any recent recordings. Odd. As I had already copied the storage over and pointed the Recordings Directory at the new location (\\nas01\media\pvr), I tried recording a channel again, and nothing showed up in the new location either, despite being able to play back what I just recorded. Even more odd.

Looking in config.xml, I have no other recording directories defined:


<RecordingDirectory> \\nas01\media\pvr</RecordingDirectory>
<ExtraRecordingDirectories/>


Doing program title file search on the NextPVR server itself only finds the art .jpeg files, and xml file that describes them... no video file.

So, the recorded video doesn't seem to be on the local server, nor on the file-share defined as the recording directory... where are they going and how do I find them??

Now that we know more about creating the Linux conf files I think NextPVR should move to using the current Windows & SAT>IP  INI files for DVB devices on Linux and Docker.  It seems a shame to add the OpenTV guide and have bad source files.  In the past week there were two posts with problems with incomplete conf and ini file for DVB-S and it would be nice to have one way to manage this. 

In addition to being able to use KingOfSat ini files I have written a parser for Lyngsat and FlySat to remove the cruft.  They generate ini and conf files but it seems to be redundant.

Hello,

I recently installed NextPVR on my Debian bookworm server using by following the instructions on the wiki. It is mostly working, I'm able to schedule recordings and watch them using Kodi on my HTPC and Jellyfin when out and about on my phone/tablet/laptop.

However there are a couple of very annoying issues:

- NVENC is missing as a transcoder option in settings/transcoder. I have a Quadro P600 installed in the server with the official nvidia debian drivers installed. I can partially work around the issue by using Jellyfin (also on the server, which has no issue calling ffmpeg with nvenc) to stream recordings, however it would be great if the NVENC support could be fixed in NextPVR so I could switch on auto transcoding and save some disc space (the server CPU really isn't up to the task of transcoding without GPU assistance)



- NextPVR also doesn't seem to correctly capture the DVB subtitles on my machine. Directly playing the ts recordings in VLC shows a DVB track is present in the ts stream, but no subtitles appear when I try to switch them on. I have verified that this happens with programs that do correctly show subtitles if viewed live on a TV. What's weird is it did previously work. I have some older recordings from last year where the subtitles do show up correctly.

I'm otherwise enjoying using NextPVR, though if I can't resolve these issues I expect I'll have to try again with TVheadend :-(.

any tips or advice on how to resolve these issues welcome.

I have a Hauppauge HD PVR 2, and I'm trying to set up an IR blaster in NextPVR.   I'm running Windows 11 and NextPVR v6.1.5.231022.  The Hauppauge blaster works in WinTV.  I was hoping to use HaupBlast.exe in NextPVR.  When I test it in a cmd prompt, I get the following error:

C:\Windows\System32>C:\"Program Files"\NextPVR\HaupBlast.exe 568
m_IRBlasterPort == 0; hcwirblast.dll disabled

The "568" is just one of my channels.  Is my syntax bad, or does HaupBlast.exe not work anymore?  Thanks in advance.

Good Morning Martin, This live tv link only work for 10 minutos after that do not work , How I insert automatic update .

My PC failed to record 'Mobil 1 The Grid' off Sporty Stuff TV this morning, (worked OK end of 2023)
I have tried to re-tune my Sat card but it does not find the channel (I believe its on Astra 2G EU 11538 V Sporty Stuff HD DVB-S QPSK 22000 5/6 1788 MHz L 2)
Is there a problem with the tuning .ini that misses this frequency or has it moved? As far as I can see the correct information is in the tuning listing for Astra 282 (49=11538,V,22000,56,DVB-S,QPSK)
When I watch the tuning process no channels are found for 11538V.
The funny thing is my TV tunes into FreeSat from the same dish and it plays Sporty Stuff TV OK.
Has anyone got any ideas?

I have been able to find -“tune”= BBC One, Two and Three (all HD) but Four HD is eluding me, despite repeated scans.
This alert (image below) appears

Which I think tells me the version I am on dates back to Nov ’22.
Could this be the cause? Auto update is selected (has been for some time)

I recently installed NextPVR on my Windows 8 machine (which I have since upgraded to Windows 10, to make comskip work).

I have show genre colours set, but all programs in the guide were the same colour.

I searched on this forum, and found the colours are stored in the database. So I had a look at the EBG_GENRE table, and all the records had a colour of 00000000

I have edited the colours in the database (I copied a rather garish example from another post in the forum - I guess I will tweak them more to my taste when I get round to it).

But I wondered why the colours would be empty in a fresh install - is there a UI somewhere to set them that I haven't found yet?

Thanks for a great program - I wish I had found it years ago, rather than using Media Portal 2 (which is good, but a little buggy, and rather over-complicated). NextPVR just does everything I need in the simplest way possible - it's great!

I am trying to create my own IPTV feed config which will take URL from multiple internet sources.

They are generally just radio stations

One issue is they are being saved as TV channels to turning up in the wrong lists.

I am also having an issue where it is not being able to play a source with a querystring at the end.

The M3U file works fine in VLC

Any ideas?

I have a problem with a particular TV show where I select it from the Guide and then select either a single episode or the series
and it places a "task" in the Recurring view but no episodes appear in the Pending view nor does the episode go RED in the guide view. Needless to say the episode isn't recorded at the time(s).

The logs seem to show the request was successful the only odd looking thing is for each upcoming episode it returns
...already got this episode: <episode_name> (recently deleted)
...already got this episode scheduled

I've tried a few other random selections from the guide and these work. I also have long standing schedules that also are still working so presumably it's just these 'shows' but I can't find why.

The full relevant section from the log is attached.
