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.

hello guys .. I just read an artilce about the worlds first full aluminum cylindrical case. finally a case that can look good next to your tv thats not a box , this is one of the best HTPC cases that i have seen on the market and the finish is just amazing. It fully supports small form factory mini ITX components and when it is time to upgrade its not issue. It would be also a good gaminig console case.

NextPVR 3.6.6 on Win7 x64 OS.

I am very happy with NextPVR which I am using to build a complete system of broadcast recording and archiving by integration with a content management system. This is being done in Singapore, where we have 7 broadcast television stations received via DVB-T2. EPG is received fine, and recordings work fine. The TS files show that the recordings include H.264 video and 2 channels of AAC audio.

I can view the video and hear the audio perfectly on the English News Channel (Channel News Asia), but although the picture is clear on other channels the audio is silent or garbled. I have installed the LAV audio codec pack (http://www.nextpvr.com/decoders.html). It was working, but then I was trying to playback TS files and found they were silent in Windows Media and VLC (Classic Media Player is able to play the files with audio). In trying to fix this by installing some codec pack, I seem to have broken the audio playback in NextPVR, at least for some channels. Is there any recommendation on how to get this working?

Another thing - I am able to manually tune the FM radio receiver. But when I listen, the screen is black and the schedule has no programme data either. Is there some video codec which will display information about the selected audio programme? Is there any EPG for the FM radio channels?

Hi All,

I live in the US and our local Telco ran fiber through our neighborhood. I switched from TWC to the fiber provider, Cincinnati Bell. When I had TWC I was using MythTV with a Hauppauge HD-PVR. When I switched I knew it was going to be some reconfiguration because the fiber provider uses IPTV with no RF overlay and ZTE set top boxes. The major issue is that no one had a LIRC config for the ZTE STBs to issue IR commands for channel changes. I purchased an Iguanaworks USB IR transceiver and made a raw LIRC config file. MythTV was back up and running with the ability to change channels, but I noticed when I ran an HDBase-T extended that HDCP was not being transmitted through my new STBs. I figured this was an opportunity to use NextPVR with an HD-PVR2 (using HDMI output instead of component).

My raw LIRC config file worked fine with WinLIRC, but I had to write a script to issue the channel change commands to WinLIRC using the TCP interface. I looked in the forums and saw mentions of Java scripts, Perl scripts, but I didn't find the actual code. So, I just wrote a very small script in AutoIt. Compiled it as a console application and it is working fine with NextPVR. Here is the code if anyone has a use for it. Thank you NextPVR developers and contributors. I plan to donate in the near future.

I've been a Kodi user for a while. Android phone, Android TV, Win 10 Desktop, Win 10 Laptop, Amazon Firestick, etc.

All devices are running the same build of Kodi (latest Jarvis release) and work fine when using the skip step functionality, except for my Win 10 Laptop. The skip steps display on the screen and progression is correct based on number of times I click on the right or left arrow, but the video stream never changes position. Fast forward functionality works fine, but this is just an issue with the skip step functionality.

For example, I start a stream and at the 30 minute mark I want to skip to 45 minutes. I hit the arrow to get to 45 minutes, the skip step times appear in the top right corner, and then the video stays at the 30 minute mark.

Does anyone else have this issue? I'm thinking it's a hardware issue on my end considering it works on every other device I own except for my Win 10 laptop.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
