Hey all, I have recently installed NextPVR and am liking it so far. One question, though: I realized that I had inadvertently deleted a channel from the channel list that I wanted. How do I add that back in? I don't see a way to do that.
Attached is a log file set that was created just this morning.
I occasionally take a peek into the NRecord.log file just to check how the nightly EPG update ran. My question is about the update going through the new EPG and checking for any changes to Recurring Recordings. In the NRecord.log at 2016-04-01 04:22:54.775, the log shows that "Gotham" did not match recurring rules yet "Recordings->Pending" shows that it is scheduled. Same situation occurs in the same update log for "Blue Bloods" at 2016-04-01 04:23:08.811.
Ok bought HD Prime and got M card from Brighthouse store, only had 1 left and it looked like it had bullet holes in it. I load card, picks up 18 channels, Validate NONE.
Set up. Cable > HD Prime w M Card > Router.
Called support and said only 18 channels are coming in and they said m cards hinky and we have to deliver it. Ok so they deliver new M card, plug in and Scan : Error, wait 5 min Scan picks up 209 channels. Validate NONE, Happy but all basic non premium channels.
Same set up.
Called support 3rd time and after 30 min on hold from nice CS lady she found out all Cable card issues or questions go to the PVT or PRT dept. Something like that. Once you have card you must have them in this dept activate it reguardless if the installer dropped it off or is paired. He knew exactly what was going on and had it validated in 2 minutes. I asked him about the premium channels and all that and he said just get a Free SDV tuner from Brighthouse and run the cable in that, then out of that into my HD prime and plug in USB. Did this rescanned and now have 449 channels with nothing missing.
Set up Cable > SDV Tuner> HD Prime w M Card > Router
Just thought this might save some bright house people time to goto the PRT dept immediately.
I have been using NVPR for a few years now without any issues.. but for some reason, I have recently been experiencing stuttering on live TV but the strange thing is it only does it when the NVPR window is in the foreground.
If I click on the desktop or open up the NVPR settings window so that the live stream is in the background.. it plays fine.
Obviously this doesn't work while in full-screen mode.
I have re-installed the latest version but It has done this since version 3.5.7
I also don't think it is the video that is stuttering.. but the client itself is freezing slightly as the right click menu takes a while to pop up.
So I thought it was probably my AV software but disabling it has no effect.
A couple of days ago I upgraded to V3.6.6. and I can no longer update the EPG. Both manually selecting the update from within settings and the scheduled daily update causes NPVR to crash and stop the recording service I had been using v3.3.8 for a while without any issues. I use MC2XML for my EPG and NPVR seems to crash after running updateEPG.bat and while processing the xmltv file. Logs and xmltv file attached.
I am using NextPVR 3.6.6 running on a Windows 10/IBM Thinkpad R61 laptop as a backend. For viewing I use the Kodi plugin and run Kodi on an Amazon Fire TV. I have a HD HomeRun Prime with a Cablecard from Comcast. I think they recently stitched to h.264 for HD channels in my area. Everything works fine but I have noticed there is are frame drops when I am watching sports. It's not horrible, but it definitely makes the picture less than smooth. My question is pretty basic- does NPVR backend process the signal before sending it to the client? Even if it is a simple passthrough, would I benefit from upgrading from my laptop even though I don't use it for viewing at all? Or would it make no difference. Thanks!
2 weeks in a row I have had exactly the same thing happen.
On 28/03/2016 a recording was scheduled for 7:30 - 8:30pm and then another for 9:00-10:00pm both with 10 min pre-padding and 15 min post-padding.
The 7:30pm recording went perfectly but the 9:00pm recording did not occur.
It appears that my computer went to sleep after the 7:30pm recording and then tried to wake up a second later for the 9:00pm recording but failed to awaken properly.
Is there anything I can do to prevent this happening again.
I am changing my dual DVB-S2 card to a quad version. (The device identifiers will change). Is there any simple way of doing this, avoiding the need to re-scan and re-order all of my existing channels which originally took quite some time. Will I have to re-create my existing series recordings? I am hoping I can do something with the channel export/import options.
Is it possible to force NPVR to search a specific IP address for a SAT>IP tuner?
I am trying to make NPVR work from a remote location that uses a linked routers. Each router can access each others network but unfortunatley I cannot see any facility to provide the IP address within the setup.
