I've exported the channels from the HDPVR device and looked through the output. Each channel in the output .xml has a keyword "Channel.ServiceType" and is set to 25. I found service type only in the Channel Mapping table which contains no further information about this field.

Would you please tell me what service type is and how it's used?

Thanks.

Hi, I installed the nextPVR as a backend for KODI, but I noticed, that nextpvr comes with its own user interface that is kind of similar to kodi. So is it even worth it for me, to use kodi, if i only want to watch and record live tv? Should i simply only use the nextpvr interface? thanks

Bug or feature?
I removed one of my two AVerMedia Duet cards (dual tuner) and replaced it with a new TVS 6704 Quad tuner.

You can see in the settings that the TBS has four ATSC tuners present. The Avermedia has two present, and two that are not present. This is correct.

Under device status (from the NPVR system tray), even the non present tuners are listed: Avermedia Tuner 3 and 4. Is this by design, or a bug? Should the status at least differentiate the tuners that are not present or otherwise functioning? (I am aware I can switch them to disabled)

Another question, but regarding tuner priority. While status the device status last night, when the scheduled recordings for the night were starting, The TBS 6704 tuner 0 and an AverMedia Tuner was in use. Based on my priority settings, shouldn't the TBS 6704 tuner 0 and tuner 1 cards have been the first to be in use?

Thanks,
Matt

I've searched a fair amount and can't figure this one out. Is it possible to include the channel name somewhere in the file naming pattern for recorded shows? Currently when I record an OTA show it is named like "Blindspot_20160303_20002100.ts" and I want to include something like "Blindspot_CBS2-HD_20160303_20002100". I need the channel info somewhere in the name so I can use different comskip ini's for different channels to strip out commercials correctly.

The area I live in has pretty bad reception, so some channels are pretty unstable through my TV tuner device. I was hoping to add the live streams in the "IPTV" device in NextPVR to fill in the gaps.

However, our streams in Australia are HLS presented as m3u8 playlists. For example:
https://sevenwestmedia01-i.akamaihd.net/...vhigh.m3u8

It looks like only direct TS streams are supported at the moment, but I'd love to see support for this format.

Looking around the forums i see various NextPVR 3.6.6 patches and fixes for use with Kodi 16. I was just wondering if there was any ballpark ETA for a new version before i attempt to upgrade to Kodi 16. While there are a few snags with 15.2 here and there, I'm only upgrading if NextPVR is ready as well.

Hi Sub (or anyone else who can help),

Every so often (maybe every couple of months), my recordings just start failing for no apparent reason. The failure mode is that it creates the files for the recording, but doesn't write any data. The recording shows up as failed in the history. My usual fix is to reinstall NextPVR, restart, and it's usually back up and running. Today, however, it took me well over an hour to get things back working. What finally seemed to work was manually running the firewall commands that show up in the NRecord.log (NRecord.log.2 in the attached zip), but also changing the "netsh.exe firewall" to "netsh.exe advfirewall". When I ran just "netsh.exe firewall" it said it worked, but also said that the firewall command is deprecated and advfirewall should be used. It may be a good idea to update those commands.

Would you mind taking a quick look at the logs that I've attached to see if you can spot any obvious issues. I've renamed the logs from when it was failing to with "- Fail.log" and the logs now that it's working with "- Working.log" I would really like to root cause this to avoid this issue in the future.

Thanks for the help!

Currently when I record a show using NextPVR (with HDHomerun devices, windows 10), NPVR creates a show folder and places the recording inside that folder. Is it possible to set NPVR to just record the show in the directory I choose and not create another show folder?

I'm at my wits end and hope someone can help me :/

A little background.... I had been using HDHomerun Prime and NextPVR flawlessly for several weeks. I recently cancelled my cable service and use the HDHomerun Prime box to grab broadcast channels (about 50 channels) and since then havent been able to get audio or video on my NextPVR which, in turn, broke my Kodi too. I assume once I get NPVR working, Kodi will follow?

Im on the latest version of NPVR, I think... 3.6.6 ?
I have tried firewall rules and even totally disabling my firewall.
I have tried a bunch of different video decoders - LAV, Microsoft, ffdshow, and probably a couple more im forgetting.
NPVR recognizes the box (and all 3 tuners)
NPVR has no issue scanning for channels
I use Schedules Direct for the guide which NPVR picks up fine. QAM and HDHR tuners dont pick up any channels but the ATSC one gets about 55 channels.
I can get a full guide and set up manual or guide series recordings without a problem thru NPVR and Kodi.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling NPVR
I have tried deleting all channels and devices from both NPVR and HDHomerun box and started from scratch, no luck.
I just cant get a picture or sound no matter what I do

Attached are my logs and some screen shots of the important settings that I could think of.

Can anyone offer advice?

I noticed it asks to delete a recording if watched all the way to the end. I never watch all the way to the end. Would be nicer if I press 'stop' with, say, 5-or-less minutes left, to ask to delete.

Also, the confirm-to-delete dialog box could be eliminated if there was some type of recycle bin. When I choose 'delete' just move to recycle without asking for confirmation. It can be recovered from there if needed. I see here that it used to use the Recycle Bin but that feature was removed for vague reasons. It would be nice to have it back.

Thanks.
