Hi all,
first congratulation for this useful forum and thank for accepting me.

Here is my configuration:
Windows vista home premium sp2 with kodi 15.2;
latest version of npvr (3.6.6);
latest version of npvr addon for kodi.
I succesfully installed npvr and performed a tv channel scan but when i start kodi npvr addon give me the connection lost error.
I checked firewall exceptions but all seems to be ok.

Did i miss something?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the wonderful DVR app and the amount of time supporting it.

In troubleshooting a lineup issue for SD, I've noticed two issues. I did read the sticky and searched.

First, the NPVR scan using the HDHomeRun QAM finds a differing number of channels over the HDHR. I scanned 4 times tonight in NPVR and it found: 99, 89, 103, and 96 'usable' channels (as listed in Settings -> Devices). The majority appear as blank channels. Scans were run within an hour or so. The HDHR Setup utility finds 43, which is much closer to the actual number of QAM channels.

Second, NPVR is only populating three channel names total. Almost all are labeled "Unknown xx.yyyy." HDHR is finding the correct channel names or 'guide name' (as they call it) for most broadcast stations.

I moved my data directories for both out of the way to start fresh. In the HDHR Setup utility I had it at 'default' but also tried the 'NextPVR' option, no change.

Attached is the:
logs directory
channels-QAM.xml -> NPVR QAM export
Digital Cable.xml -> Output from the HD HomeRun setup util.

Any help is appreciated.

My dog was good enough to use a couple of my new in-wall CAT6 ethernet cables as chew toys and the painters wasn't any help either wrecking another one. I didn't want to start on the four jacks I need to redo but my test cable creation is going terribly. I am losing the cable 2 inches at a time and gone through 5 jacks already. In theory wiring one of these little beggars should be easy, but I am going insane try to get the order to stay right

Anyone have any tips?

Hi. I'm having some problems with Acamd and encrypted channels. They won't show up, but unencrypted ones will.
We came into the conclusion with Reddwarf that Acamd and NewCS are not communicating, but couldn't find why not.

My NewCS reports this. It doesn't report anything else when trying to view encrypted channel.

This is NewCS 1.65 - the New CardServer by the Butter-team..

This morning I look at tonight recurring recordings and found that one show (Les pays d'en haut S01E03 EP02335746.0003) was not scheduled for monday night.

Looking that the recurring recordings, the show is now scheduled for Tuesday night :confused:
Yesterday night that show was scheduled for Monday night.

I see this behavior from time to time on monday morning, some shows are scheduled for the day after instead of the correct day. This is not something introduced with 3.6.6, I have seed this for a year at least.

Not a big issue when you check your recordings every day, you cancel the recordings and reschedule it. Might be a bugger when you are not attending your recordings daily.

I have included the xml and db3 file in the zip file

Martin,

I was looking at the Settings screens for X-NEWA yesterday, and there are a couple of items where I don't know what they are supposed to do. Can you tell us?

1. "Update XBMC library after play"
2. "Copy cover art"
3. "Permanent cache (Manual Delete)" - I'm guessing this keeps all of the EMULATE-*.jpg files like X-NEWA used to do.
4. "Use X-NEWA LiveTV skin"

Thanks!
- Brett

Yesterday, I tried to cancel a recording that was about to begin CTV News Montreal 20160124 23300000. NRecord froze. Device status windows on both client and server went blank.

Another recording in progress the fifth estate_20160124_23300030.ts stop at 23:30:50.
I had to Stop NPVR Service and Start NPVR Service

This problem was there last year and is really not easy to reproduce. I don't think it is related to 3.6.6 changes.

I'm running Kodi on QNAP TS-453A in the HybridDesk. Kodi and the native NPVR add-in runs fine, but I would prefer X-NEWA because of comskip better recordings management. Oddly, no X-NEWA skins work, but I get what effectively seems as screen of the NextPVR app and it actually works to some extent, it is just extremely sluggish and crashes quickly. Can anyone advise how to get the Confluence or any other skin really X-NEWA like I do on the PCs that connect to the same NextPVR server.

Thanks

Hi, if the program is not found on the TVDB should it still be found in KODI TV Shows? I have quite a few recording with a renamed file, but no NFO. I have some with an NFO but these don't show in the KODI TV Show tab.

Below is what I am running in the post processing bat. I am also running it on demand against the NVP database as per the wiki to test out the switches.

"C:\Program Files\NPVR\imageGrabLite.exe" --oid %3 --rename --nfo
"C:\Program Files\NPVR\imageGrabLite.exe" --oid %3 --nfo

Tried with just rename and with nfo and rename, I added the command twice to catch any renamed files to get the nfo file.

Below a log

Hello,

For some channels I use DVBguide to provide me an xmltv file with the epg. In NextPVR, I have set some genre colourings (this was done prior to configuring the xmltv epg source, not sure if that plays a part).

For the channels that get there EPG via xml, there is no genre colouring... Not sure if this is possible (if such info is in the xml file)... Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Jörg
