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.
I just added a bunch of channels and with Comcast basic digital that comes to around 80 total. I'm wondering if there is any way to view a list of all upcoming movies, using the standard guide? Or any alternative way to do this... I'm on Schedules Direct if it makes a difference... thanks.
I'm using usbuirtsend.exe to transmit a signal to my cable box. I know that the USB-UIRT has the potential for 3 zones, and I would like to add another cable box. Does anybody know if there is a way to use usbuirtsend.exe to select the zone to use, or would I have to use dedicated software to control it this way?
Hi, After scanning for UK channels (DVB-T), I realized that many are missing, most notably all the BBC channels. I tried this on two different PCs and got the same result. I am sure there is nothing wrong with the TV signal because I had no problem using the same TV tuner, the same PCs, and the same region with WMC, Totalmedia, and Mediaportal. I would prefer to use NextPVR though as it appeals to me the most. Any help would be appreciated.
