Hi,
I have a USB digital TV tuner...."Mini DVBT", it shows in Device Manager as ..."IT9135" and I have been told made by "Afa Tech".
It installed without trouble and works ok with the supplied software..."Blaze DVT 6.0". (all channels available are found)
I want to run it with NextPVR. I have installed Kodi and NextPVR, but when I try to scan for TV channels none are found.
Any help would be appreciated............Bill
Ok, as it looks like Snapstream has (maybe temporarily) shutdown it's support forums, I'm thinking guide is next. I like the little bit I've seen of NPVR and would like to see if I can use it as the recording/playback of live TV and integrate it with MeedioS.
I'd like to set it up on another machine, get everything up and going that I want (except the Hauppauge HD-PVR, don't want to yank that out from the great room HTPC), the guide, folders etc.
The problem I' having (other than being long winded) is that I can not seem to get the guide. Got Schedules Direct to sort of work, is there a way to dump all the Direct TV channels into the guide, then let me delete the ones I don't want, or do I have to go through EVERY channel and map it?
Also do HAVE to use a blaster? BTV allows the use of a serial -> USB controller (to a Direct TV Box) which I built and works a treat.
I have been using NextPVR for about 3 months now using LAV decoders successfully. Starting yesterday I cannot get a picture. Everything else works OK. I tried ffdshow decoders with the same result. Using Win 10 with Ceton 6 tuners. All tuners are shown and all channels are shown. Also using SD for program guide. I see the note that LAV decoders cause problems for some but it has been working for a few months now. Hope you can help. Using NextPVR 3.6.6.
I know that NextPVR has its own downloader for Fanart, Banners, Posters and Backdrops and program description.
I also know of ImageGrabLite. They all work from within NextPVR
Does anyone have a program / utility that will read a text file and go and grab the required files IE. work outside NextPVR?
files required like .... 2 BROKE GIRLS-catalog.xml, 2 BROKE GIRLS.banner.jpg, 2 BROKE GIRLS.fanart.jpg, 2 BROKE GIRLS.jpg
2 BROKE GIRLS.landscape.jpg, 2 BROKE GIRLS.xml
I have a large number of 1 off shows that have no art or description and I would like to fill the gaps
When recording two shows for some reason the aspect ratio on my TV goes out of wack and nothing I do seems to resolve the issue.
Both items will record but the aspect ratio is way off and there is nothing on the client side that will fix it. I feel like something in my recording setup is off and causing the aspect issue.
Let me know if you need any more info below is the device I am using.
Capture device: HD Homerun Extend (2 OTS Tuner)
Client: Fire TV
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:
[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]
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.)
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
