Just upgraded from 4.2.5 to the latest version 6.1.5. So far everything is working good except when using the Windows Client the closed captions no longer work. Can you please point me in the right direction to get them to work again?
Kodi skips backwards after a few minutes of play, eventually crashes.
Hi I have a pi 4.0, I just wiped it and put in libreelec installed simple iptv and nextpvr and it auto configured (very impressed) both to connect to my pc running next pvr
As the title says, tv runs for a few then skips backwards repeats about 10 seconds and then eventually moves past thst spot.
Eventually it just dumps me out of the channel.
I've included both logs, thanks in advance for the help
Hi,
I'm using UK OTA EPG with nextpvr but have an issue identifying New programmes in the EPG, this results in a lot of scheduled recordings that I need to prune every day.
I've noticed that nextpvr marks everything as New, and have searched this forum and noted that the reason for this is that nextpvr will do that if it cant get the programmes new status from the guide data. That all makes sense, however I have used the same setup with tvheadend for many years and that did seem to figure out which programmes were new:
With tvheadend on LE using kodi, the EPG would show "New: " appended to the front of programmes that were actually new, is it worth investigating how they are doing this?
I know I could pay to have better quality EPG, but it's bugging me that tvheadend could somehow get the new status of programmes via the UK OTA EPG?
I have installed NextPVR v5 on my Windows 10 PC and I want to change the recording directory to a different drive. I have tried to edit the config.xml file in the NextPVR data directory, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. The recordings are still saved in the default C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Recordings folder. How can I change the recording directory in NextPVR v5?
I installed the nlite client on my Windows 11 laptop. It connects to the same network as my NextPVR machine. I can contact the machine via the web interface, and watch TV that way fine. But, when I start Nlite it says "No NextPVR servers were detected on the network". When I close that dialog, I get a Microsoft .NET Framework Unhandled exception report as follows
```

Hello,
I tried a do a search to see how to input an external recording (Outside of NextPVR) into NextPVR for viewing but came up empty. Perhaps I am using the wrong search word.
Does anyone have an answer to direct me in the right direction.
Thank you
Bruce
In this thread, BlockShutdownForExtraSecondsAfterRecording was used to allow NPVRTray.exe to make a power request to keep the server awake while watching live TV or making a recording (and a few minutes after).
Yesterday while watching a 30 min recording from kodi over LAN the server hibernated twice freezing playback in kodi (hibernate after is 10 min on the Win 11 NextPVR server).
Today I checked with powercfg /requests and the NextPVR server makes absolutely no power request during the kodi remote playback resulting in Win11 putting the server to sleep mid-playback.
It would be great if the NextPVR service or tray app made the same power request during playback, including BlockShutdownForExtraSecondsAfterRecording, as it already does for live TV and recordings.
To anyone willing to help... here is my setup and what I have done so far:
* NextPVR backend latest version installed on a Raspberry Pi 4 running bullseye with latest updates
* Hauppauge WinTV-dualHD directly connected to the Pi's USB 2 port
* All channels have been scanned on both tuners
* Schedules Direct is working and updating the EPG for all the channels
* Latest version of Kodi on Google Chromecast with Google TV (HD)
* Latest version of NextPVR Client for Kodi on above
When going to TV in Kodi, then either choosing a channel from the EPG or Channels, there is a delay, then a popup "Playback failed, One or more items failed to play. Check the log for more information about this message."
I have tried many other channels from EPG and Channels and same message. The actual WinTV-dualHD tuner LED shows the signal is strong. There seems to be a streaming issue.
My wife has decided that she really likes the PBR (Pro bull riding), and most shows are covered exclusively by Pluto Ride pass, so I'm trying to get the Pluto extra working so I can record with NextPVR. I followed Martin's/Sub's instructions here:
Everything seems to install OK and I have the EPG up and running, but when I try to stream anything, I get the dreaded "Steaming failed (transcoder exited)". A quick debug of streamlink gives me this:
I'm moving soon to a rural location were cable and fiber aren't an option yet. OTA is marginal so we're looking for a viable alternative. Can folks in the US recommend a good (and legal) IPTV provider that works well with NextPVR? I didn't find much with a search of the forum.
