I'm running a SAT>IP server and am able to receive SD channels but HD channels return a blank screen and the log infers a signal problem. If I run an application on my Android phone I am able to receive HD channels without issue. I can also watch them with other applications but I prefer to use NextPVR if possible.
Please see attached log showing an SD channel tuned followed by BBC HD in the UK.
I noticed that the FM section of my HVR-2255 is missing on NextPVR. It shows up on the Win-TV8 supplied with the card but not NextPVR. Anyone have any ideas? Also I am running 3.6.6 and there does not seem to be an add FM but I think that is due to the fact it is not finding the analog FM section.
NPVR is a fantastic application. Works flawlessly in my setup. I use NPVR as a backend only with Plex and Plexbmc as the presentation portion with a raspberry pi. Since I don't access NPVR directly unless logging into the system, I find that if there is an issue with recording or something else going on, I don't know until some time has passed and this could result in missed recordings.
I also use Couch Potato and Sabnzbd to support my other viewing needs. These applications support Growl and such which can notify me when things complete or something else happens. And this works really well.
I have been searching the forums but have not been successful finding references to this type of options. Is there something like this supported with NPVR or other options that can be used? My preference would be to get a simple notification on my phone with status and the like of recordings.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions and guidance. Very much appreciated.
This is probably a really simple question. But I wanted to ask before I go poking around in settings somewhere and maybe muck something up.
Is it possible to change the channel numbers NPVR sets when it gives you the listings? For instance, I have multiple tuners providing different sources of input. I have an analog input that gives me cable-ready (SD) channels. Then I have a digital input that gives me cable-ready (ATSC/QAM HD) channels. Then I have a 3rd input type that gives me free antenna (OTA SD/HD) inputs. The first tuner I established a lineup for was the analog. It gave me a rough estimate of some 50 channels and assigned them numbers based on their cable box counter parts. That's fine. The 2nd tuner though (digital) went and added a bunch (like 40) more channels, but isn't following a cable box routine. They're simply around 100-300 channel numbers. Many of these channels are duplicates of SD channels but are just digital versions. Lastly for the OTA tuners (I've yet to configure them) I'd like to have them properly numbered based on their OTA channel numbers. For instance, this is my typical line up:
DT (digital) tuner
132 - ABC
167 - CBS
174 - NBC HD
206 - PBS
247 - WB HD
262 - ABC HD
305 - FOX HD
307 - PBS HD
etc (note that I am receiving both SD and HD versions of the same channels in some instances)
OTA (digital) tuner
4.1 - NBC HD
4.2 - sub (getTV?)
4.3 - sub (retroTV?)
6.1 - ABC HD
6.2 - sub (thisTV?)
6.3 - sub (?)
10.1 - CBS HD
10.2 - sub (weather?)
10.3 - sub (?)
28.1 - FOX HD
etc (note that these are what are broadcast in my area, and national channels are HD)
I'd like to have it list in KODI as:
4 - NBC
4a - NBC (DT SD)
4b - NBC (DT HD)
4.1 - NBC HD
4.2 - sub (getTV?)
4.3 - sub (retroTV?)
6 - ABC
6a - ABC (DT SD)
6b - ABC (DT HD)
6.1 - ABC HD
etc (essentialy, all NBC's grouped together increasing in various qualities, then all ABC's, etc)
Is something like this possible? The channels numbers in the DT range are made up (I'm not looking at it) but hopefully you get the gist. I have ANALOG (SD) versions of multiple channels, as well as DIGITAL (SD) versions of the same channels, and again DIGITAL (HD) versions of them, and lastly DIGITAL (OTA) versions that are also SD/HD (depending on what the source is). Left alone, they're scattered throughout the list. I can always sort alphabetically, but I prefer channel numbers.
I've been noticing some weirdness lately with my TV. First off, a few details. I use NextPRV, HDHomeRun Connect (the network one), and I have the HDHR addon installed. After a while of watching TV the screen goes black. At first, I can still hear the audio for a while but after a while it's just black screen and no sound or anything. If I switch between fullscreen and windowed sometimes I can get as far back as showing the guide but I can't go anywhere from there. Usually I can go anywhere and have to task manager out. I turned on debugging to catch it and when the screen went black I noticed that the OSD of the debug text (eg. CPU%, Debugging Mode Text, etc,) was all frozen too. Here's what I could get from my log. I hope it helps.
I did want to mention one more thing and assume its a different problem but want to mention it just in case. I have the c:\Temp folder set up for if I pause my show. I never do but I'm guessing there is an always-recording file in there just in case I hit pause. Every couple of days (3 at the most) I notice some lagging and notice I am low on disc space. When I check that folder there are hundreds of video files in there. Seems like when things are working right that there are only ever a couple of files in there but every couple days that folder is loaded up with GB of files and I have to empty it. I don't know if this is being triggered to save all the files in there once the TV crashes or it's something else. Thanks for the help.
I just re-subscribed to Schedules Direct and would like to update the EPG data inside Kodi. I was able to get NextPVR (on the server side) to update the EPG manually, and when looking inside the EPG (on the server) I see all the data. But all I can see on the Kodi side is a bunch of channels saying "No information available". I had this all set up before, so it's just a simple matter of getting the EPG to download from the server. Is there a way to do this? I've tried rebooting Kodi, and it says it's getting EPG data from NextPVR, but it doesn't load anything. If I manually select a channel, go to "Manage.." there is an option to schedule an EPG update (for that channel only) and it does load the EPG then. Is there a way to do this for all channels in one sweep?
I usually check the overnight EPG update by checking the NRecord.Log file. I attached a small portion of the log.
I am wondering why the log takes on an "unformatted" look for hundreds of lines before reverting back to a nice neat formatted listing. Can you tell me why this happens? It seems to be normal because is happens all the time.
It's 5:40AM Christmas day here, and I'm taking the chance to check my email in the silence of the early morning, before the hurricane of children and presents and noise explodes.
I hope you've all had a good year, and have a great Christmas. Here in NZ it's a summer Christmas, and today looks like awesome weather. It's gonna be blue skies and warm. Right now it's orange skies and birds singing as they wake up.
It's been a good year for NextPVR, with several successfully releases. It continues to be a hobby that excites me and consumes most of my available spare time. I've started working on features for the next release, and have some good stuff I can't wait to show you all.
I was a long time, very happy, Windows Media Center with Ceton 6 Tuner user. But now that I upgraded to Windows 10, I've lost Windows Media Center, LiveTV, DVR functionality and there seems to be no solution available coming from Ceton. I've signed up for the kickstarter with SiliconDust, but the software is still in Beta with updates coming at a snail's pace.
So I want to use NextPVR on a Windows Server 2012 setup, and then use Kodi running on Windows 10 to access the LiveTV and DVR functionality. But given I have Time Warner, all my channels coming through my CableCard are marked CopyOnce, thus NextPVR can only show me Non Copy Protection channels (which is like 40 channels out of my 300 channel subscription). Sucks big time! So now I am willing to get rid of my CableCard subscription and pay for an actual cheesy Set Top Box subscription so I can start watching all my channels again. My questions is regarding which tuner to get...should I be getting the WinTV-HVR-2255 or the Colossus 2? Again, I want to access all my HD channels in my Time Warner subscription in HD (and now perhaps PayPerView), so I want to know which tuner I should be getting so there are no limitations.
Kindly advise and if my setup is totally way off, please let me know. Very confused on which Tuner I should be getting. Thanks!
