I got a pretty cheap Windows box (refurb) for the express purpose of making it a headless PVR for the family. This is a Win10 box (had similar issues with Win7 using Media Center). Note the two key words, "headless" and "family".
My issue is that no matter what I do - I am confronted with passwords. Is there no way to escape the infernal password issue? It's for the FAMILY - it's HEADLESS, no USB keyboard/mouse, anyone can, and SHOULD be able to access it. While I've gotten MOST of the password issues out of the way, it still crops up from time-to-time.
I also use Remote Desktop (Win10 Pro), to access it, and this is one major source of issue - since it logs the login "out", so you can access remotely, and then requires a password when you go back to it. It still occasionally requires a password after reboot.
So - what have others done to resolve this issue - permanently so they can use their device as a PVR/headless device for NextPVR?
I will add - NextPVR may not be the sexiest software I've seen/used - but it's functional and after a month of use - seems pretty doggone reliable. Kudos to the devs.
I'm hoping someone here can help me resolve this. I've searched quite a bit and it seems I need someone to look at the log to figure out the issue here.
I'm running NPVR on a Windows 7 64bit machine.
At least 1/2 the time I try to change channels I get the message indicated. every time, I hit OK, then Live TV and it goes right to the channel I was switching to. So the tuner is switching the channel, it's just not being outputted?
Anyway, here's a log. the problem happened about 6:51 or so.
I'm currently evaluating NextPVR 3.6.6 as a TV server in combination with Kodi 15.2 via the Kodi Addon NextPVR PVR Client v1.10.8 by Graeme Blackley on a Win7 system.
So far it works well. However, I can't manage to get the padding times set in Kodi for TV recordings. I've set the pre- and post-padding times in NextPVR to 0 minutes. Whatever padding time I set in Kodi when configuring a recording timer, the recording always starts and ends at the exact start and end time of the show (0 min padding). The padding times I set in Kodi seem to be ignored.
I've tried my best to search the forums for this answer, but either I'm not using the right words (atsc subchannel kodi), or the posts I found were outdated, so here's my question for 2016:
Does or does not Kodi 15.2 support sub-channel tuning using an ATSC digital tuner (in USA) with the NextPVR plugin? Specifically, I'm running Kodibuntu 14.04 LTS with the 15.2 Isengard release.
It doesn't seem to accept "." or "-", so I didn't know if that was a limitation of the frontend, or the addon. My NextPVR backend is Windows 10 LTSB on an old school XPS 420.
(I seem to remember sub posting YEARS ago that he had fixed the addon and was waiting for (then) XMBC to merge it)
BTW, since updating to 3.6.6 backend, all the channels all look great, and the recording feature works like a charm, and even names episodes correctly, if I can ever get a $^*@ing EPG update from the antenna.
Symptoms on client:
In TV Guide, I watch an ongoing recording from start (it started about 15min before), stop watching, back in TV Guide, select the same program I get a Resume button.
However, if I skip to the end of the program while it is recording, 2-3 sec (from real time), stop watching, then when I select the program I do not get the Resume button.
I did read somewhere that NextPVR use a different path when watching live TV then when watching a recording. Is this possible that it use a different path when watching an ongoing recording near the end and then it does not update Playback position at some point?.
In the log, I watch TVA Nouvelles from start, exit, Resume available
Resume watching, skip to middle of the recording, exit, Resume available.
Resume watching, skip to the end of the recording, exit, Resume not available.
Exit NextPVR.
I have a problem with audio coming through to my NextPVR plugin at startup.
Sometimes it works just great, other times I must play around in SPMC (14.2) with the audio settings. What always fixes the audio is switching from passthrough enabled back to disabled. The channel restarts back up and plays the audio just fine. It happens no matter if the CH is 2.0 or 5.1 audio. It's very inconsistent, one night the audio is fine, the next night, same channel same program, audio gone.
I use a Colossus card in the back end with RGB input and SPDIF, source is a cable box. Android Minix X7 Box running SPMC. And here are my decoder settings.http://screencast.com/t/mxX5t85Ij3e I have played around with these settings, but nothing seems to solve the audio start up problems.
Thought I would start on this forum first rather than Kodi. (they usually send folks here anyway!). X-Newa plugin result is the same.
I seem to remember NEWA working in the past without issue. I'm using Mozilla Firefox. I have one NextPVR server and several clients.
I'm launching NEWA on a client machine on my local LAN. The behavior is the same regardless of which client(or localhost!) I use. The NEWA screen appears but shows no channel schedule. Not even the channel numbers in the selected group. I've attached logs that show an error for every channel in the channel group I wish to view. The TV Guide appears normal when I launch NextPVR on any machine, client or server. Also, If I change the channel group to all channels, NEWA only shows some of the channels in the group.
Can you help? Have I altered a setting somewhere?
Logs are attached. The web.log file has the errors I saw listed at the end at about 14:25.
Running openELEC Intel version (Isengard 15.2) and now updated to NextPVR 3.6.6 (on windows 7 ultimate 64bit). I believe the recording issue was working with the prior release of NextPVR, but since my recent upgrade the recordings no longer refresh until I a) turn off/on liveTV or b) reboot Kodi.
I get the recording show messages and recording complete messages and the show does record, however no indication on Kodi that it has recorded or available for playback.
Hy

I would hate to think how much money I have spent on DVB-S/S2 tuners over the last few years. All of them have either gone bad after a year or two of use, or the drivers have never been updated and I've had to buy new ones to support OS upgrades.
I need either a new dual or quad card (preferably PCIe). Other than TBS, does anyone have any suggestions for a new DVB-S2 card?
