Hello. Please can someone point me towards a thread, Wiki, setup page, etc., that will direct me how to set up my Hauppauge 955Q on OpenElec 6 using NextPVR? I want to run both the backend and the frontend end from a Rasp Pi 2

For some background I have a HP pavilion desktop that is about 4 years old that I recently upgraded to Windows 10 and is just using it as a glorified DVR. I only run NextPVR on it. I used HDHomerun Prime as my tuner. I can watch live tv using either the HDHomerun View app or Windows Media Player with no problem. When I try to watch live tv using NextPVR, the picture is find for a few seconds then stutters and gets pixelated. It will return to normal for about 20-30 seconds then do the same stuttering. It repeats this over and over again on all of the channels, no matter if its HD or SD. I thought it was a video codec problem. I tried different combinations of video and audio codecs. None solved the problem and some gave me sound with a black screen. The LAV decoder didn't work at all for me. I'm currently using the ffshow mpeg 2 video decoder with the Microsoft DTV-DVD audio decoder for mpeg 1 audio and ac3 audio. I've tried downloading other codecs like K-Lite and a LAV decoder pack with no success. I even purchased a MainConcept video decoder pack but NPVR doesn't recognize it. I've tried playing around with the settings on the HDHomerun Prime, reinstalling NPVR, and installing a trial version of PowerDVD16, all with no success. I don't know what else to try and I'm running out of ideas. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hey all, nextpvr has been working for a month or two for me now with little problems, now out of the blue I try to watch TV and nothing happens in kodi.. so I go directly into nextpvr app and when you click on live tv I just get a black screen. I have HDhomerun tuners and TV works just fine if I launch the HDHomeRun View app (windows 10 pc). Ideas what may be wrong and why out of the blue it stopped working? which log would be most helpful to look at? Also the only thing that changed was I started using Private Internet Access VPN on my htpc.

thanks all

** okay, its something to do with the windows firewall, disabled it and it now works again (vpn must of changed something?) What all needs to be allowed in the firewall for nextpvr to work? thanks again!

Hi
Here in the UK the ordinary Freeview EPG seems to have become unreliable. Win 10, WinTV Dual HD Tuner. Is this just me? Can I do anything about it. Film 4 is nearly always showing"No show details". BBC 1 is usually OK. Other channels come and go showing "No Show details".
Thank you

When scheduling a Manual Recording, Padding is only positive.
Once it is scheduled, Update still doesn't allow negative minute padding

Lately a few shows are hit or miss as to whether NPVR will play them. When we click play we just get a black screen. No video or audio. The recordings are there, as we can watch them via Media Player Classic. One show that this has happened on a few times is "Bitten", but it doesn't happen every week. One or two other shows have done the same thing, but again, not every week. Here's a link to the first 50MB of the last Bitten episode that wouldn't play in NPVR.

Is there any indication that the file has an anomaly that would prevent NPVR from playing it? :confused:

Thanks!

I am using xmltv for guide information. I am recording a show weekdays from 4:30 to 5:00. All the shows appear in the guide and also when I search all. However, when I choose to record all (new, daily, timeslot, etc.) each selection skips Thursday and Friday. Monday through Wednesday always show scheduled. Is this happening to anyone else? I am also noticing that every now and then next will also skip a scheduled show and jump to the next new show after on other shows as well.

Hi,

I have discovered that on a few channels, while trying to watch liveTV, I am getting audio but no video. If I record the show and play the recording back with npvr I get both video and audio. Both liveTV and recorded streams from that channel play fine with VLC. I have tried various decoders, but no difference. Any ideas?

Thanks

For the last few days, NextPVR crashes on a specific channel, all others channel are ok.

I tried changing decoders and the crash still occurs.

Client Open File NPVR.log

This is a 10MB sample of a recording that crashes a few seconds after opening the file : CrashTQ3.ts

Hi Martin,

I think I need some help.

I have added a group of Folders that reside on another machine to the "VIDEO" panel on this PC.

There are no art works for any of the programs within the folders. I would like to get the art works for each folder.
Typical folder naming and contents naming. --> (Folder) iZombie --> (File/s) iZombie S01E01 Pilot.mp4
or (Folder) iZombie --> (Folder) Series 1 --> (File/s) iZombie S01E01 Pilot.mp4

I have copied my NPVR.db3 and updated table Scheduled_recordings columns Name and FileName with the Folder names (as above).
Status has been set to "2" for each row.

I am using the copy Database to play in ...
SET SQLITE="c:/users/public/NPVR/Scripts/Utilities/sqlite3.exe"
SET DB="C:\Tmp\npvr.DB3"
SET IGLite="C:\Program Files (x86)\NPVR\ImageGrabLite.exe"

When I run IGL I get results for other programs that seem to be in EPG_EVENT :confused:
I have got to be missing something / lots of somethings :o

Quote:There are scripts to scan all files already posted and there is an option to add files with art to the recording library.
