Came back from hols and a week later some of the wifes recordings started failing - I checked live TV and there was nothing there, they were Sat channels that had moved to different transponders.
Would it be possible to have a nightly or weekly "self check" where NPVR cycles through each channel and each tuner with the channel mapped to it to (if idle of course) to see if any data gets delivered and perhaps issue a warning of some sort if no data was delivered.
I know this would not catch a channel that moves onto an existing mapped frequency but for my purposes it would highlight 99% of any lineup changes, tuner issues or antenna/dish issues that occur - or if a channel goes encrypted.
I have a HTPC running Windows 7 Pro, Kodi, NextPVR and Silicon Dust HDHR3 as the tuner. I really like the setup and it is working great with one exception. I am trying to record the show Woodsmith Shop which shows locally on a PBS station sub channel. The show appears to record, shows up in the listing of recorded shows, and when I start to play the show is shows that some 33+ minutes have been recorded. However when the playback gets to the actual start of the show, the time jumps ahead to 32 minutes and none of the actual show is shown. When looking at the file sizes on the disk it is apparent that the show did not record, just the extra time before and after the show. I can however record the show on a Channel Master PAL7000 that I also have.
Any thoughts of a video add-in instead of a pvr add-in? I get the sense (haven't dug into the api) that the pvr add-in interface is somewhat limited and being a video add-in leaves you to do as you please. I know this is the direction SD went.
I have a Pinnacle PCTV Dual Hybrid Pro PCI Express. Everything ran smooth under Win 7. Then I decided to migrate to Win 10. Since then I no longer receive any TV channel. Driver of the TV card seems to be found by Windows. But no channels. I've made a new channels search.
I am having trouble fetching all my EPG data from Schedules Direct. I contacted them to see if the issue was on their end... it wasn't. currently about 50% of my channels are missing data. I noticed the problem 3 days ago and began debugging from there. I have isolated the problem to NextPVR but cannot figure it out. I have attached my logs for reference. The problem persists between versions 3.5.7 and 3.6.6 and there is no difference between a manual or automatic update.
I now am back into using NextPVR, but only use it to stream the current output of my Skybox, either via a sd capture card or the HDPVR.
I watch the streams either using VLC and the 'live?channnel=' command, or using Psycik's Plex channel.
I've noticed that if I wake the PC up using WOL, then it will go back to sleep when I am streaming from the PC.
I've changed my power settings, and if I wake the PC with the keyboard, it will stay on until I sleep it.
Ideally, I'd like it to stay awake when streaming, even on an unattended wake so I can change the power settings to sleep after XX minutes.
I'm pretty sure it works fine with the client connecting.
Is there any setting in NextPVR to combat the issue, or do I need to set something on PC for unattended wake ups.
I apparently messed up my channel listings beyond redemption, assisted by a change in cable companies. I simply wanted to start over again with a clean listing. However, try as I might the old settings appears in the program. I have uninstalled the program, looked for residual files and deleted them, and even ran a "powerful scan" with iobit uninstaller to get rid of every vestige of my old install before reinstalling. However, all to no avail. Is there any way to reset everything to how it is on the initial install so I can start "from scratch" or at least delete all the channel mappings so that I can begin again?
I have a small problem of a Scheduled Recording not being scheduled.
I have scheduled a program (Gogglebox) to record on channel 10 (SD) and 10HD (1080i MP4) on 2016-04-14 at 8:30PM.
The only item appearing in Pending Recordings is the item for 10 (SD).
My aim was to check the quality difference after conversion to MP4 at 702x400, but it looks like I may have found a bug :eek:
I have attached a copy of my npvr.db3 database if that helps
I hope some one can out the error of my ways :confused:
No biggie, but is there a reason for the special Delete Button for Manual Recordings?
Normally scheduled shows don't have one, you have to use the check box?
Was cleaning up the PC recently and saw some errors associated with NDigitalHost.exe as below examples. There are a number of these.
Doesn't seem to affect NPVR but it'd be nice if it didn't happen anyway. Hope the logs go back for enough to the 6th, being the most recent error date.
