I installed Kodi 16 RC3 (I was using RC2) and now I cannot set or edit timers with NextPVR 3.6.6 backend.
When I try to edit/save a timer (such as change the pad or days of week of the timer),
I get an "an unexpected error occurred" dialog which tells me to look in the log.
I turn on debug logging in Kodi and restarted and tried again. I got the same error.
I can create new timers OK from the Guide by selecting to record the show.
I have a Hauppauge HVR-1250 TV tuner that I have been using to pick up OTA ATSC channels with Win Media Center. Since WMC is gone under Win 10 I'm looking for a replacement and while I know I'll never be able to get an exact replacement NextPVR looks pretty good. But I'm having some difficulties. I installed it and it is working with the TV tuner and did find all the local channels and does show them in Live TV. But I'm having trouble with the guide. It initially came up but with no data. Playing around I determined that the guide data defaults to come in from the ATSC signals. Unfortunately a couple of my local channels have not been displaying that data for a long time. In the Settings for Channels I would click on Update EPG and it would always start with the physical channel that doesn't have any data and time out. I managed to find the setting to change the EPG source while watching a live channel and tried the setting for XMLTV even though I don't have a file. Obviously that didn't work but even though I set it back to getting data from the channel when I click Update EPG in the Channel Settings the program always crashes with a popup that disappears quickly saying something about XMLTV!!!
Is there something I can try to get it to get to not crash or should I uninstall and re-install. Even if I do the latter I'm still not sure how to get the EPG fully populated.
With my setup for NextPVR I have remote, mouse, and keyboard available. When using the mouse and in the guide, I can use the wheel to move up or down in the guide but can not find a way to move right or increase the time. I have to grab the remote or the keyboard and hit the right arrow. Is there something with the mouse that I have not found to move right in the guide?
I was looking through the NRecord.log file and noticed that it's taking about 20 of the 26-minute update time just to delete old listings. Is this normal? Is there no faster way to delete rows from the database? My update consists of a 14-day look ahead period. I'm just concerned that for that length of time, the update is exposed to any manner of system glitch that could corrupt the database. (and I'm curious)
I was setting up nextdvr for the first time and messed up in my tuner section. I deleted them hoping to start from scratch and now I cannot get them back. I am running the HDHomeRun Connect HDHR4-2US tuner for ATSC broadcast. I have tried restarting the program, disconnecting and reconnecting the tuner, adding and removing the tuner under devices on the pc, uninstalling and reinstalling nextpvr, rebooting the computer etc... I feel like I have tried everything. I need help!
I attached my log of me opening the settings and then devices.
When I originally saw the above forum post, I had a quick look at the location where my live TV is stored and was relieved to see that it was empty and I wasn't having the same issue!!!
However!!! This morning I get a phone call from a rather disgruntled wife! Saying she can't watch TV, returning from work, I have a look and eventually I narrow it down ... My Live TV drive is rammed to the hilt with .ts files.... I delete them, and run a couple of tests and everything works as expected e.g Live TV creates a .ts file which grows as the live TV runs and then deletes after the stream is stopped...
I've added a line to the postepgupdate.bat file that deletes all *.ts files I the liveTV folder, which I guess should stop this happening in the future...
I'm not sure how these files got there, very bizarre ! But I'd thought I'll report this just in case others come across the same issue...
I would like to create a small plugin. I have looked at the (really sparse) docs here. I have looked at NShared and NUtility in the VS Object Browser. None of that has been much help.
Can anyone suggest some sites that might help learn this API? I've searched these forums but a lot of the posts are old and probably outdated.
Specifically, I would like to get the tuner(s) status. This post looked helpful but ScheduleHelperFactory.GetScheduleHelper() returns null.
Basically what I am doing: I just installed NPVR. I had an old programmable remote collecting dust and a spare Arduino UNO so I decided to create an IR receiver to control NPVR. Pretty easy simply injecting keyboard shortcuts. Now I figure it might be helpful to add some LEDs to display tuner status.
I'm brand new to Nextpvr and hardly know where to start. I installed the Nextpvr and it comes up and that's about it. I'm seeing information on these forums about scanning for channels but it doesn't scan. And I'm not seeing any way to tell it to scan. I'm on windows 10 and using a Hauppauge DCR-2650. I'm at ground zero and will appreciate any help I can get.
I am trying to get nextpvr to work with Kodi so that I can watch live TV as well as setup recordings etc. However, upon loading Kodi, I keep receiving the following error, nextpvr client connection lost kodi, which is annoying to say the least.
I checked my Kodi settings and I do have my web server enabled and I have even turned off my firewall in order to check if the webserver was being blocked by the firewall. Neither of these options worked. I am also sure that my recording service is working and I have restarted it a few times to see if it can connect with Kodi. None of these quick fixes worked. I can post my Kodi debug file if that will help, but any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
