With my setup for NextPVR I have remote, mouse, and keyboard available. When using the mouse and in the guide, I can use the wheel to move up or down in the guide but can not find a way to move right or increase the time. I have to grab the remote or the keyboard and hit the right arrow. Is there something with the mouse that I have not found to move right in the guide?
I was looking through the NRecord.log file and noticed that it's taking about 20 of the 26-minute update time just to delete old listings. Is this normal? Is there no faster way to delete rows from the database? My update consists of a 14-day look ahead period. I'm just concerned that for that length of time, the update is exposed to any manner of system glitch that could corrupt the database. (and I'm curious)
I was setting up nextdvr for the first time and messed up in my tuner section. I deleted them hoping to start from scratch and now I cannot get them back. I am running the HDHomeRun Connect HDHR4-2US tuner for ATSC broadcast. I have tried restarting the program, disconnecting and reconnecting the tuner, adding and removing the tuner under devices on the pc, uninstalling and reinstalling nextpvr, rebooting the computer etc... I feel like I have tried everything. I need help!
I attached my log of me opening the settings and then devices.
When I originally saw the above forum post, I had a quick look at the location where my live TV is stored and was relieved to see that it was empty and I wasn't having the same issue!!!
However!!! This morning I get a phone call from a rather disgruntled wife! Saying she can't watch TV, returning from work, I have a look and eventually I narrow it down ... My Live TV drive is rammed to the hilt with .ts files.... I delete them, and run a couple of tests and everything works as expected e.g Live TV creates a .ts file which grows as the live TV runs and then deletes after the stream is stopped...
I've added a line to the postepgupdate.bat file that deletes all *.ts files I the liveTV folder, which I guess should stop this happening in the future...
I'm not sure how these files got there, very bizarre ! But I'd thought I'll report this just in case others come across the same issue...
I would like to create a small plugin. I have looked at the (really sparse) docs here. I have looked at NShared and NUtility in the VS Object Browser. None of that has been much help.
Can anyone suggest some sites that might help learn this API? I've searched these forums but a lot of the posts are old and probably outdated.
Specifically, I would like to get the tuner(s) status. This post looked helpful but ScheduleHelperFactory.GetScheduleHelper() returns null.
Basically what I am doing: I just installed NPVR. I had an old programmable remote collecting dust and a spare Arduino UNO so I decided to create an IR receiver to control NPVR. Pretty easy simply injecting keyboard shortcuts. Now I figure it might be helpful to add some LEDs to display tuner status.
I'm brand new to Nextpvr and hardly know where to start. I installed the Nextpvr and it comes up and that's about it. I'm seeing information on these forums about scanning for channels but it doesn't scan. And I'm not seeing any way to tell it to scan. I'm on windows 10 and using a Hauppauge DCR-2650. I'm at ground zero and will appreciate any help I can get.
I am trying to get nextpvr to work with Kodi so that I can watch live TV as well as setup recordings etc. However, upon loading Kodi, I keep receiving the following error, nextpvr client connection lost kodi, which is annoying to say the least.
I checked my Kodi settings and I do have my web server enabled and I have even turned off my firewall in order to check if the webserver was being blocked by the firewall. Neither of these options worked. I am also sure that my recording service is working and I have restarted it a few times to see if it can connect with Kodi. None of these quick fixes worked. I can post my Kodi debug file if that will help, but any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Next week I am getting a new PC to replace my existing HTPC. My existing HTPC is a Brix with an i3 processor, 8Meg of memory, with internal SSD running Windows 10. All the media files and my recording location is a 3TB USB 3.0 drive (WD Red). I'm running the current release of NextPVR and Kodi Gotham (long story there). I have had this configuration (less the upgrade to Windows 10) for just over 2 years and it has been working great.
But... I did the stupid thing when I upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1. I actually liked 8.1 and had no big complaint about it. It ran pretty well. I waited a long time after 10 was available thinking it would be stable when I finally upgraded. Well, it isn't like it crashes everyday, but is nowhere near as stable as it was under Win 8.1. Ever since I went to Windows 10, I have seen a lot of glitches and have really been pretty disgusted with it. To the extent I am now getting a new HTPC and getting rid of Windows 10. Sure, I could back off Windows 10. That in itself would be a big job and of course while doing that my HTPC would not be available. And if it went badly, it may not be available for some time. I'd rather not face that. My wife is only recently finally started to regularly use my HTPC rather then the old ReplayTVs, and I want to insure our HTPC experience is un-interrupted. So I have already made the decision, just waiting for all my parts to arrive, which should be Tuesday.
The question:
So once I get the system setup and all working as a PC like it should, I will do a fresh install of NextPVR. The question I am looking to get answered by the much more experienced people on this forum is, "what NextPVR files and/or directories do I need to copy to the new HTPC", and is there anything else I need to worry about? My goal is to copy all those files/directories over, reboot and basically have my old configuration but on a new PC. I realize I have to stop all the NextPVR services before I copy things over. My concern is that I copy the right stuff. I'd rather not reconfigure everything from scratch if I don't have to. The new system will be Windows 7. Why, because it comes with it and I expect it to be much better then Windows 10. I don't rule out someday upgrading to Windows 8.1, but not now. My new drive for all my media files (and recording location) will remain drive "D", but be an internal 4TB WD Red. My 3TB WD red on the old system gave me zero problems, so I am sticking with them. So it will have all the old systems drive structure. I know there will be no issue coping those files. It is the system files used by NextPVR that I am concerned with. With NextPVR all setup and working well, I will just install Kodi Gotham on the new system and run restore (from XBMC Backup) to get it's settings back. I don't see a problem there.
When done, I will retain the old Brix HTPC for a "backup".
I'm a new user just installed to replace WMC on my win 10 machine. I followed the wiki and everything went fine. I did need to download the decoder which installed without an issue. I can record, play back with no issues. In WMC I could FF out the commercials. The FF function worked very smoothly with increasing the speed of the FF with another tap of the FF button. I have changed the FF function to faster playback on the program but I does not work that great and the video hangs. I get audio but the video does not play. I have to close out and reopen.
Is there a setting I need to change for smoother FF though the commercials or is this a limitation of the program?
Thanks very much great interface, clear picture better than WMC I'm liking it except for this issue.
