just got a new computer and it doesn't have WMC on it. Have downloaded NextPVR, setup up the device, found 70 channels (QAM) and started the recording service (saw that in another forum) but now i get an error message.
I have my PC set to sleep after 45 minutes of inactivity. I also manually put the PC in sleep if I am done working on it and I know there is no reason to keep it awake. However, my PC has been resuming within a minute of when it goes to sleep either on its own or manually.
I check powercfg -lastwake and the answer is nPVR:
[INDENT]C:\Windows\system32>powercfg -lastwake
Wake History Count - 1
Wake History [0]
Wake Source Count - 1
Wake Source [0]
Type: Wake Timer
Owner: [SERVICE] \Device\HarddiskVolume3\Program Files (x86)\NPVR\NRecord.exe (NPVR Recording Service)[/INDENT]
I check the system log and it also lists nPVR:
[INDENT]The system has returned from a low power state.

Wake Time: 2016-05-10T12:10:33.042765900Z
Wake Source: Timer - NRecord.exe[/INDENT]
Here is the pertinent listing in NRecord.log:

I've been struggling with this issue for several days trying to find the answer online. I have found threads where the user ends up determining their issue was their keyboard or mouse. I have set those devices to not be able to wake the PC.
I've found other posts where the issue was the EPG Update. I moved the time of the update to be a time that the PC is more likely to already be awake. And since the undesired wakes happen at any time of the day, I don't think this is the issue. I've also made sure that there aren't any scheduled recordings listed or and wake times requested for the times the PC is waking in the NRecord.log (I tried attaching, but the full log is too large).
I did reinstall nPVR yesterday and the first time I put my PC to sleep, it stayed in sleep all day until it's first scheduled recording last night. I thought the reinstall had solved the issue at that point, but later that night when the PC should have stayed in sleep, it continued to wake. It would sleep every 45 minutes as nothing was running on the system (I confirmed with powercfg -requests) and then immediately wake up. This happened all night and continues this morning.
I have also used the Standby Tool to help, but all I have gotten from that is that no other devices have unexpected access to wake the computer.
At this point, I have no idea what else I could check or how to solve this issue. The logs are pretty clear that it is nPVR that is waking the computer. But, I see no reason or indication by nPVR that it needs to be doing that. Is there anything that I have missed or could try?
I think the next thing I plan to try is to disable the nPVR services to see if the PC will stay in sleep. That's the last thing I can think of to prove that it is nPVR that is responsible for the wakes.
Thanks for any help.
UPDATE (5/10/16 9:46AM CST): I went ahead and disabled the nPVR Recording windows service and the PC no longer woke from sleep immediately. Given all of these facts (including the system log and powercfg -lastwake), it's hard for me to see this as an issue outside of that service.
I've just been given an email bollocking from Atlas for seemingly grabbing to much data ;( My last epg source was Birtles and Radio Times, but they didn't seem to be updating when channels changed (new/dropped). Any suggestions for a UK EPG with Freeview, freesat and Sky channels would be much appreciated.
Quote:For clarity, this means you should only request the data you need, when you need it, and not every channel in one batch. Additionally, please limit each call you make to a maximum of 24 hours of data.
Please make the changes required by 1800 BST on Saturday 14 May. Unfortunately, if we see further calls after that point that do not match the terms, or request more than 24 hours of data in a single call, we will need to suspend your API key.
I have been using NextPVR with Kodi for over a year now, and I have multiple PVR clients, with one PVR hub. My PVR Hub, also runs Kodi as one of the clients. Everything works great, except the problem that arises if I pause live TV in Kodi and wait longer than about 6 minutes, Kodi will jump back to live tv on that channel, and I will be unable to view any of the paused TV that had been recorded. I have had this problem running kodi/nextPVR on both Win7 and Win10. I am currently running win10 with the latest version of kodi (16.1) and NextPVR.
Is there something I need to do to rectify this situation?
Hi,
I have a USB digital TV tuner...."Mini DVBT", it shows in Device Manager as ..."IT9135" and I have been told made by "Afa Tech".
It installed without trouble and works ok with the supplied software..."Blaze DVT 6.0". (all channels available are found)
I want to run it with NextPVR. I have installed Kodi and NextPVR, but when I try to scan for TV channels none are found.
Any help would be appreciated............Bill
Ok, as it looks like Snapstream has (maybe temporarily) shutdown it's support forums, I'm thinking guide is next. I like the little bit I've seen of NPVR and would like to see if I can use it as the recording/playback of live TV and integrate it with MeedioS.
I'd like to set it up on another machine, get everything up and going that I want (except the Hauppauge HD-PVR, don't want to yank that out from the great room HTPC), the guide, folders etc.
The problem I' having (other than being long winded) is that I can not seem to get the guide. Got Schedules Direct to sort of work, is there a way to dump all the Direct TV channels into the guide, then let me delete the ones I don't want, or do I have to go through EVERY channel and map it?
Also do HAVE to use a blaster? BTV allows the use of a serial -> USB controller (to a Direct TV Box) which I built and works a treat.
I have been using NextPVR for about 3 months now using LAV decoders successfully. Starting yesterday I cannot get a picture. Everything else works OK. I tried ffdshow decoders with the same result. Using Win 10 with Ceton 6 tuners. All tuners are shown and all channels are shown. Also using SD for program guide. I see the note that LAV decoders cause problems for some but it has been working for a few months now. Hope you can help. Using NextPVR 3.6.6.
I know that NextPVR has its own downloader for Fanart, Banners, Posters and Backdrops and program description.
I also know of ImageGrabLite. They all work from within NextPVR
Does anyone have a program / utility that will read a text file and go and grab the required files IE. work outside NextPVR?
files required like .... 2 BROKE GIRLS-catalog.xml, 2 BROKE GIRLS.banner.jpg, 2 BROKE GIRLS.fanart.jpg, 2 BROKE GIRLS.jpg
2 BROKE GIRLS.landscape.jpg, 2 BROKE GIRLS.xml
I have a large number of 1 off shows that have no art or description and I would like to fill the gaps
When recording two shows for some reason the aspect ratio on my TV goes out of wack and nothing I do seems to resolve the issue.
Both items will record but the aspect ratio is way off and there is nothing on the client side that will fix it. I feel like something in my recording setup is off and causing the aspect issue.
Let me know if you need any more info below is the device I am using.
Capture device: HD Homerun Extend (2 OTS Tuner)
Client: Fire TV
