Having a heck of a time with channel mapping - likely me, but any thoughts / suggestions would be appreciated!
I'm finding that I have a lot of channels that are in an SD and HD version, just on different channels (as seen by my Hauppauge card) - but having mapping issues in NextPVR, they are showing up on top of each other on the same channel.
I'm pretty sure this has already been suggested but what the hey... maybe this release.
The current Record Immediate function uses the Ctl-k keystroke to immediately begin recording the show being viewed. Recording stops at the end of the show.
I wish for another recording function: A new keystroke that will immediately begin recording the show being viewed but DOES NOT stop recording until the user cancels it using the Recordings->Pending screen. Yes, this will tie up the tuner indefinitely but that's for the user to work out. Another risk, also a user responsibility, is that the destination folder may run out of space, at which time the recording is stopped. The Recordings->Pending entry created and the file being saved take on the name of the show the recording began with regardless of how many shows are after it. Scheduled shows coming into conflict with such a recording are simply not done and marked "tuner unavailable" or something like that. If the show being viewed is already being recorded, do not stop recording when it ends.
FWIW and tryin' to keep it fresh. I hope this sounds reasonable. It would prevent a lot "overtime" shows, mostly live content, from being segmented into several files. Also, many times, live shows will force subsequent shows to shift to a later time and "cross over" the nice neat schedule boundaries again resulting in segmented playback or the last 20 minutes not being recorded at all.
I have setup a new, second NPVR box and pointed it to where my recordings are for my first NPVR box but the recordings do not show up. Is there a setting I am missing? Is the listing of existing recordings kept in a file on the original NPVR box?
1- Make the "pre-padding" available in one second increments. This way if we have a tuner that takes, say 6 seconds to change channels and start the actual recording, we could set 6" pre-padding so that our things are up and recording as the program starts avoiding cut starts. Why not one minute? This would prevent back-to-back recordings on the same device with the last minute lost in the first recording.
2- The ability to auto-delete old conflicts more than a day old. For those of us who do a lot of recording, like 100 hours per week, it becomes a wearisome chore to manually delete the resulting conflicts.

mvallevand, with Sub maybe making a API if I get a webcam served from playon UPnp. Will Universe or Network Tuner plugins act as a channel so a PIP of that stream will play?
I have a Hauppauge HDPVR 1 and I'm trying to get it to work with NextPVR with little success. First off, I'm using the latest HDPVR driver from Hauppage's website, 1_7_30059 and windows detects the device and doesn't report any issues with it. NextPVR detects the HDPVR and I can manually add in a channel using the Component Video input and Rear RCA for the audio, however when I try to select Live TV I get no video or audio and NextPVR is using 100% CPU. When LiveTV is active, I do see the lights on my HDPVR light up as if it's recording something, so it appears like it's working.
Also, no timeshifting file seems to be created when I start live tv. I've tried changing the recording/timeshifting directory to different ones in case of a permissions issue, but it doesn't make a difference. I even tried running NextPVR as an administrator with the same results.
I opened up the Debug info while Live TV is 'running' and I'm seeing the counters go up, eventhough I'm not seeing and hearing anything. I've tried every renderer and decoder I have installed (I also have the CoreAVC H.264 decoder, which may not be seen in the attached logs). I can press the stop button on my media remote and the stream will stop and return to the main menu, so NextPVR isn't completely unresponsive.
I've also tried adding it as an analog device with no luck either.
I'm using this capture device is to mirror my cable box's video output on a Kodi instance I have in another room, so I don't need to set up the IR blaster for channel changes, nor do I need any EPG set up for it.
Is there something that I'm missing? I'd like to use NextPVR because of its integration with Kodi so any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
