I have just upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 (Using the upgrade option nota fresh install).
I love using Media Centre as I find it very easy to use and does what I need. However, with Windows 10 as people will know it isn't an option so I am looking at other software.
I use Emby as my media manager with Media Centre. I have installed Kodi 16.1 (tried 17 beta but not enough How to's on the net yet to work out how to set it up).
I have also installed NextPVR and have it running in Kodi.
I was in NextPVR setting up some recordings when I got the attached unhandled exception error.
I have cleared the log files and generated the error again to have a fresh set.
I may need to install something else, or maybe the upgrade path is causing the issue and I need to do a fresh install?

After years of trouble free service my PC died from a power-outage induced surge. I have built a new one and have NPVR running but ... can't get my NMTs up! I get to the NPVR.html menu, but when I click NPVR I get the dreaded message. This is a Windows 10 PC, I have edited npvr.cgi to use my username and password for mounting /etc/mvpmc (using vim as the editor) and substituted my sharename in the NPVR.html. I have C:\mvpmc shared with Guest and with my personal id. Windows Firewall has npvr in the allowed program list. One strange thing is that if I use the network browser on the PCH and navigate to the media server it says no content found. Below is the Syntax Checker output. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

I have a guide problem where about 3-4 channels have No Show Data. The rest of the channels are fine. In the standard guide, these channels have "no show data". In the TV Listings guide, they are just empty. I looked in the xmltv.xml file and there appears to be data for these channels, but nothing in the guides. I just upgraded to 3.7.7 and same problem, so there's no fix there. Using mc2xml for guide data.
This is not a major issue for me, just wondering what could be going on. One of the channels with the problem is 320 LONG ("The Longhorn Channel")
First, just want to say I've been using NPVR for over 10 years and it just keeps getting better and better. Love the new look in NEWA, can't wait until it has all the capabilities of the the classic version. Umm.. it will include them eventually, won't it?
Anyway, here is my request. I would love to see NPVR have the same keyboard control of the viewing window as found in WinTV. By that I mean the ability to double tap the viewing area to toggle between windowed and fullscreen. And I wouldn't mind if it also had a third option (ala WinTV) of a frameless window so I could cycle through all three via tapping the touchpad. I use this feature with WinTV all the time, and if it existed in NPVR I'd probably never use WinTV again. When I use WinTV for live viewing I sometimes forget to close it before NPVR begins a scheduled recording, and then the recording fails.
And if that's not asking too much, having it remember the sizes of the windows would be a plus. Thanks a bunch!
With 3.7.7 (and probably earlier versions), the specific episode/recording entries in the Ready Recordings and What's New recordings lists include the season/episode in parenthesis after the title (in both the list and the details section), but the Pending Recordings does not.
Can you update the Pending Recordings lists to include the season/episode info?
I've been trying NextPVR for a couple of months, and it generally works as specified. However, I have been having gaps appear the next day in an existing broadcast (OTA) EPG with 3.6.6 and 3.7.7. Essentially, I populate the EPG from the broadcast signals from Settings/Channels/Update EPG. After a few minutes the EPG is 100% populated for 7 days (to save my time I have only checked the top 8 channels in the NextPVR TV Guide display, which include several different multiplexes, for times 18:00-23:00 each day; they are 100% complete, no gaps). I last updated the EPG on 1 July at about 12:00; it was complete until midnight on 8 July.
The next day at 15:00 many gaps, i.e. "(no show details)", have appeared in the formerly-filled EPG (in the same top 8 channels over the same period, and on different multiplexes). If I either tune to the affected channel or do a new EPG update the gaps will be filled for the moment, but will reappear soon.
I've searched the NextPVR site but not found any reference to this, though I have seen reports of the EPG populating with gaps from the outset. Is the later appearance of gaps a known issue; is there a workaround?
Clevo laptop computer, Win10/64, working well. Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-TD-Stick (958xx) dual tuner, in dual, not diversity, mode, with external aerial - signal is OK. Freeview (not HD), London UK; most channels from Crystal Palace transmitters.
All channels show as having 2 sources (with the dual tuner), and DVB/ATSC EPG as EPG source.
The same problem occurs with the LAV and the MainConcept (from Hauppauge WinTV 7) MPEG-2 decoder.
(Not related to this problem: 1. the latest Hauppauge WinTV8 Arcsoft decoders don't seem to work, probably locked to work only with WinTV. 2. I get the NextPVR "DirectX missing" message, though I have the latest DirectX. NextPVR seems to work OK though.)
Best wishes, pol098
PS I've uploaded .ZIPped logs, hope they appear here, haven't done this yet
I've installed 3.7.7 without issue and all of it's features are working beautifully.
I moved on to trying out the new modern web page from a client machine and got mixed results.
The picture below shows what is presented to me after clicking the "Settings" option on the new web UI on a client machine:
[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]
Are these the only settings that can be changed? It seemed that there were many, many more settings available in the previous version. Of what use is the PIN? Anywhere further to go from this page? I'd like to change colors and the amount of information shown like the number of minutes and so forth.
Also, notice the "Installed" version vs the "NextPVR.com" version. Looks wrong?
-It appears that the preferred channel group is honored on the TV Guide page but not on the Now page. The "Now" page always shows all channels. Is this intended?
-"Watch" does not work from the TV Guide page but will work from the "Now" page.
Logs attached.
All else is working perfectly. A great new release!
So for some reason after the update Kodi cannot see the EPG data anymore. It is all blank and says no information available. The channels still work but no EPG. Everything on my backend with nextpvr works great, guide, channels etc. Thoughts?
Just updated NPVR from 3.6.6 to 3.7.7 and had 2 recordings cut short on 6/30. Code Black (10-11pm) ended after 3 min and The Late Show (11:35 - 12:37) ended after 27 min. Both are on the same OTA channel (WUSA-DT 9.1).
I had previously updated to WIN10 on 6/21 and hadn't noticed any problems with 3.6.6. I updated NPVR on 6/28 by overwriting (not a clean install) and just noticed this. Logs attached.
