For a while, I've noticed a difference in the Info OSD displayed when playing a recording via X-NEWA and when playing the same recording via the native Kodi Videos or TV Shows listings.

Here's the X-NEWA one:

Here's the Kodi Videos/TV Shows listing one:
[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]

Notice how the X-NEWA one has a generic icon for the show image, the show name is the big, yellow name displayed, and neither the sub-title nor the series/episode numbers are displayed anywhere. I'm confused because it seems to me (from what Martin has said about X-NEWA just calling the regular Kodi player) that the OSD should be the same whichever way the player is called. But that doesn't seem to be happening for me. So are there different skin files defining the layout for the OSD? Or is there some other difference?

I definitely prefer the layout (and info) from the native Kodi playback with the show name smaller (the show is usually obvious) and the sub-title and episode numbers. (Ideally, I'd like to also be able to see the full episode description and the date it was recorded.)

Hi All,

I know that this "wish" is raising an old subject, but....
I have a number of devices feeding my Sony KDL-55HX750 via HDMI. Audio is then fed to a Sony STR-DH700 Receiver Amp. via an Optical (Toslink) Cable.

Output volume for a given setting on the Amp (say 30) varies per device.
From highest to lowest output .....
1. Sony KDL-55HX750
2. Foxtel IQ2
3. WD TV Live HD Media Player
4. NextPVR

To use NextPVR to Watch TV or Recordings I have to bump the Amp up to about 45 to get a similar level as the Sony KDL-55HX750 at 30.
Forget to return the Amp to 30 before switching to another input and wife comes looking for my head

If an onscreen control can't be added how about the ability to make changes in the config.xml like ....
<Volume>3dB</Volume> ..... <Volume>6dB</Volume> etc

The current recording level is good, I just wish I could bump the playback volume a few dB's

I recently lost one of my channels; MoviePlex.
HDHR Prime shows it as DRM now.
I called Comcast to complain, and after a week of back and forth, they told me they don't set any flags, it's done by the station.
Is that a true statement?

The NextPVR recording timeline duration is being restricted to 1 hour 36 minutes for playback of recordings that are actually longer than this duration. Before selecting "Play" for a recording in the Recordings menu, the recording description showing start date/time, stop time, and duration is correct, but during playback the timeline is limited to 1:36:00 (or within a few seconds) and a keyboard skip forward command will not skip past this time. The recording will play past 1:36:00, but a skip forward command will reset the play point backwards to 1:36:00. Playback of the recorded .ts file externally with VLC is normal, including timeline display and forward skipping.

Several recent recordings with this problem, each 2 hours in duration, were recorded on May 2:
Dancing With the Stars, beginning at 7 PM
The Voice, beginning at 7 PM
The Warrior's Way, beginning at 11:30 AM

Thank you for the help!

Newer models of the HDHomerun provide EPG data free from Silicon dust. It would be a killer feature to be able to pull that data into NextPVR for some of my channels. I'm not sure how to accomplish this, but it is possible. Have a look at the Native PVR addon a user on the Kodi forums created. I'm not sure how far in advanced the EPG data is provided, but it would be a great option for someone who does not have a paid EPG provider. At least in the USA, receiving the EPG from the OTA channels is poor. They only provides 1 or 2 shows out. What do you think?

A quick look at the code, it looks like the epg data is sourced within src/HDHomeRunTuners.cpp using the HDHomeruns unique ID.

My PC setup includes a second hard drive that I have dedicated for video storage (including NPVR recordings). Lately I started getting warnings that my primary hard drive is running low on space. Upon investigating, I found that my Recording Directories setting somehow became set to "C:\Temp\". Sure enough, my most recent recordings appear to be stored in that folder.

Since my dedicated video drive has plenty of open space, can I move these recordings that are stored on C:\Temp to my dedicated video drive? How will NPVR then find them? I assume it maintains in internal database that saves where each recording is stored. Can this be updated to point to the new location?

Any pointers on how to best do this would be most welcome.

I have a Grundig GSS Sat->Ip tuner which is immediately recognized by NextPVR.
I can record and watch TV. Unfortunately only one tuner can used allthough the Grundig GSS has 4 tuners.

Is this a principal limitation?
Any workaround known?

Hi Wondering if someone could take a look at the attached logs and guide me in the right direction.
Had a power trip last week and had to reboot host pc. On reboot , the pc normally ends up with a new ip address and I have to change the npvr cgi file to match the new ip. After doing this normally works fine.

This time however, cant access via popcornhour and just keep getting request cannot be processed

I have attached the logs and the output from the syntax checker

Any direction much appreciated

regards steve

Installed N-PVR 3.6.6 I can see video but it states on the N-PVR screen " missing audio- you don't have aac decoder selected"

You can fix this on decoder- settings page.

Selected aac in settings page, but same message appears when starting live tv.
