I've dug around the program and searched around online and some people mentioned that Kodi 16 would include this support, but I can't find it. Currently I have to open NextPVR to schedule a recurring recording instead.

I know I can manually set up a schedule in Kodi, but I'm more looking for the ordinary DVR functionality that NextPVR has where it automatically knows which episodes are new, and only records new episodes. Is that there in Kodi somewhere that I'm missing?

Hi all, I've walked through the steps of configuring NextPVR + Kodi and things are working well! Recordings, EPG sharing, recurring recordings, etc.

However, in my area (Seattle, WA, USA) some channels only get programming data for a couple of days out. If I miss an EPG update, it means that I miss a recurring recording.

When I click "Update EPG" in the Channels settings page, it works great. Takes a while, maybe 5-10 minutes, but when it's done all the EPG data that I need is there. But when I wait for the scheduled time, I never actually see anything happen.

I tried a few times setting the scheduled time to a couple minutes out, clicking OK, and waiting, but nothing happened. Tried both with NextPVR running and not running.


One obvious reason could be that I haven't done any configuration of a batch file at all, but I thought it should still work since I'm just doing OTA and not XML-based updates - is that incorrect understanding on my part?

I've included logs. I tried once with the timer set to 5:43PM and once a little earlier, didn't work either time. Then around 6:10-ish I did a manual update and it worked great.


Thanks for your assistance!

Hardware:
Intel NUC DCP847DYE with 8GB
HDHomerun Prime
Sony STR DH-520
LG 55LM6700

Software:
Windows 8.1
Kodi Jarvis 16.1
NextPVR 3.6.6

NextPVR properly plays and records live tv as well as playing back recordings - that is both video and sound are present. Kodi now only displays video, no sound (on Sunday it did both) for both live tv and recordings.

I have NPVR running on my laptop, using HDHomerun tuner. This is working well.

I have kodi running on my android phone on the same network and am able to access livetv and recordings fine.

Now for the problem. I have kodi running on a minimx box (android 5.1) but it is on a different router on a different subnet. I get the signal lost message over and over. Since Kodi on my phone is working fine, I believe the problem is because the minimx box is on a different subnet. Is there any way that I can get to my NPVR server from one subnet to another subnet?

When playing from my HDHomrun Prime, my video stops after a while then starts back up after around a min. It doesn't seem to do it with recordings and Its probably something simple but I cant quite figure it out. Can anyone give me more info on what it could be. Hopefully I did the log files right. Thanks

Mainly posting this here for future reference for myself and obviously to help anyone else that might stumble upon the same issue I had.

I recently had to rebuild my NextPVR server, and in doing that I decided to add a second Colossus card as well as a second Dish Network HD receiver. And that is where the fun began. How Hauppauge hasn't figured out how to address more than one capture card for their IR blasting still remains a mystery to me, but no worries. Doing a quick google search, I came upon this most excellent write-up IR Server Suite (IRSS) Channel Changer Guide. Most excellent work by BTJustice for sure, so thanks. I had a spare MCE receiver/blaster lying around, so off I went to get two functioning colossus cards complete with IR control.

Where I would add my little portion to this already excellent guide is this:

1: After installing IRSS and checking that it does recognize the IR receiver/blaster you are wanting to use, immediately restart your computer. This threw me off for quite a long time because Translator would not work at all. I saw a few references in my search of Translator "failing to learn IR" immediately, and this was the case with me. Restarting fixed all of these issues. I also used the most recent IRSS download that I could find, so no issues with the version as far as I could tell.

2: This definitely applies to Dish Network receivers (possibly others as well), and was something I just happened to remember from my SageTV days: Dish Network IR codes are multiples. So, when in Translator and learning a new digit, press the button in twice in quick succession. This gets both of the IR hex codes learned.

3: Test each digit with Translator after entering it. Yeah, this was something that I failed to do initially, so my IR was failing. Once I tested each button, I figured out which ones weren't working and got it all sorted out.

4: I did quite a bit of enabling/disabling colossus cards in the NextPVR settings while going through this. I'd recommend a restart of the system every time after making changes to this. Things kept getting strange when I wouldn't restart, so once I decided to add this step, I could keep track of where I was failing much easier.

All in all, I only scratched my head in disbelief a few times during the few hours I spent getting this sorted out. You have a super nice piece of software here Sub, and I'm rather grateful to be using it right now.

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.

[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]

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.

Sleep Time: ‎2016‎-‎05‎-‎10T12:09:30.293325500Z
Wake Time: ‎2016‎-‎05‎-‎10T12:10:33.042765900Z

Wake Source: Timer - NRecord.exe[/INDENT]

Here is the pertinent listing in NRecord.log:

[INDENT]2016-05-10 07:10:33.002 [DEBUG][22] Resuming...

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.

UPDATE (5/10/16 10:27PM CST): Added NRecord log attachment.

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.

Hello,

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?

Thanks!
