I have been using and ATI TV Wonder Digital Cable Tuner (USB) for several years with Windows Media Center and it has worked fine. However, Microsoft is eliminating Windows Media Center with Windows 10. I just recently found NextPVR and downloaded and installed it. However, the ATI device is not found when a scan is run. All I get is a IPTV device. I am currently still running Windows 8.1 (don't want to upgrade until I can find a replacement for media center). Does NextPVR not work with the ATI TV Wonder Digital Cable Tuner (USB) or is there something special I need to do? And advice would be helpful. I have attached my log file.

I use Kodi running on RasP PI's as a client for my NPVR setup. I settled on the OpenELEC distribution of Kodi/RaspPi because of ease of use for building out RaspPi images and setup. I've recently learned that the core OpenELEC developers have forked off and created a new distribution called LibreELEC due to "creative differences" with the OpenELEC team.

Has anyone tried out LibreELEC? Anything different or of note to be aware of before making the switch?

Hello,

NPVR was humming along, recording shows daily. Then, suddenly nothing scheduled gets recorded. I've tried numerous tweaks over several days but still no scheduled recordings work.

I saw the log entry that Wakeup.bat was missing, which looked correct. I found a file on the web and placed it under Scripts, but still no good.

Any help, please?

Log files are attached.

Thanks,
Tom...

If I add media, with or usually without metadata, how do I have the program scan the folders to locate and list new media?

If there's an thread about this, point me there. I searched for scan new media, new media etc., and everything I got was regarding channels.

AutoRemoveMissingRecordings parameter in the config file is set to true.

What triggers this action and when is this action performed? Does this action perform the eaxct same function as if if used the Delete button under the Recording menu?

Thanks

Hi,
Been using NextPVR for several months with great results, my cable provider, WideOpenWest, sent a message to rescan cable ready TV's due to network maintenance. I have 1 TV with cable company DVR attached and 1 TV that's cable ready both are working fine after the rescan. I am also using NextPVR with 2 HDHomeRun dual tuners. Since rescanning Live TV shows only a black screen and no sound, same trying to record, No error messages and the HDHomeRun tuners light up. I am using saf6 decoders, that have been working fine. I also tried disabling my ZoneAlarm firewall to no avail. Also HD viewer works fine, and previously recorded programs play ok, tried changing HDHomeRun preview from nextpvr but none of the others work either. I Know I'm missing something but don't know what, hope you can help. I've attached the NextPVR log hope it's the right one.

Hi Folks

First of all love nextpvr - been using mediaportal for a while but had problems with it losing my TV card. No such probs now!!

One thing I haven't worked out yet is that in MP, shows would record .ts file and also produce a xml file with the epg data.

Nextpvr has the data viewable in the program and I have found the file which stores all the info, but is there a way to export that data so I can match up the show, as the .ts file doesn't contain any metadata.
I usually take the recording, editing and renaming them, and having the info at hand either in metadata or info in the same named xml file as the recorded show really helps, otherwise I have to go into the program and try and work it out by the recording dates.

e.g.

Show 1.ts
Show 1.xml - containing epg data

Hope this makes sense??

Cheers

I have a JVC 65" 4K TV (Model DM65USR) that I use as a TV monitor connected via HDMI along with a just-built new computer running an ASRock Z170M Extreme4 LGA 1151 with Windows 7. With this rig, Windows wants it to be set at a resolution of 3840×2160 (recommended). However, if I attempt to use that resolution, I cannot read any text on the screen. So, I manually set resolution to 1920x1080, and that allows me to see text clearly. My problem is that NPVR doesn't seem to handle resolution adjustments correctly.

Some of the channels that I watch have recently changed from 1080 to something much less. It appears that they are either Letterboxed or Pillarboxed at 480, instead of 1080. This results in a picture that is basically shrunk with a black border all around (sorry, I don't know the right terms). In the past, I'd simply hit F7 to change the AspectRatioMode which resulted in a full sized picture, albeit at lower resolution. This has worked well for the last 6 months or so, with the old rig.

But, with this rig, and the change made by Brighthouse, the result is less than full-screen with any F7 attempted option. And, it appars to be non-linear. It appears that the top half of the screen responds correctly (linerarly), but the lower half of the screen stays compressed (non-linearly). I'm probably not describing it correctly.

I know, it sounds wierd, but I thought it might be worth a shot with sub. Maybe he has seen something like this before. Any ideas?

I recieved a letter from Comcast saying that they are switching to MPEG-4 streams on June 27th 2016 in this area.

I have a HD Homerun Prime with cable card and I'm hoping NextPVR will be able to handle the different stream type.

Lately I've noticed many of my recordings are having audio problems. I use Comskip (81.092) to create the VideoRedo .vprj and .edl files for cutting commercials. I've noticed in the .vprj files the non-English audio streams seem to be selected causing my problems.

Is there any comskip setting that would force the AudioStreamPID to default to English if it exists?

For example, the generated .vprj file for Wayward Pines shows:
