All of my recordings are in a specific folder with specific names. If I change the title of all of my recordings and add them to another folder, would they be affected in a certain way? If I do that, would I not be able to play them directly from NextPVR anymore?
I've been seeing weird things and I can't make a connection between any of them. Missing recordings...when I know PC is on. Sometimes I click on a program and all options are greyed out.
Usually I will close the window and then the browser... re-open them...and finally update EPG manually.
Then the record options will re-appear.
Never have had an issue with updating EPG manually.
Just very erratic behavior. I'd suspect EPG, but I don't have a problem with it ..at least manually.
Been going on for weeks now.

I use EPlusTV in nextpvr. They work well together, but events often are well overstated for triple overtime American football, and events usually end hours before. Can an option for negative post padding be added? I have a lot of empty recording.
1st time installation of NPVR. I'm currently testing to maybe transition from Hauppauge WinTV10.. I have 3 usb tuners attached to a windows 10 machine.
Whenever I schedule a new recording, (i've done about 5 so far) it always schedules it to start .18 seconds late. 9:30:18pm, 4:00:18pm etc.
I know I can pad the start to compensate, But why is it happening? There will be a few nights a week where all 3 tuners are recording & shows are back to back so I don't think I'll be able to pad accordingly.
I've tried syncing windows system time but it's still happening. Any ideas?

I have a new IPTV service. I have been trying to record some stuff to test it out but it won't record everything completely. I first recorded two streams while watching one on my mobile device on a different player as well. Later, I tried recording four streams at the same time without watching it anywhere else at the same time. The first time is was 30min recordings and the second time, they we're 60min recordings. Each time, it would only record one of the streams fully and the other streams, they wouldn't record completely. The other streams would be from 5 to 10 minutes only.
This is all new to me, I never had this happen to me. I've been able to record many streams at the same time with no problems before.
I recorded the Padres/Dodgers game last night so I could wait ~45 minutes into it to start watching as I have always done with SageTV. I added a couple extra shows at the end to record as trying to pad the end of it didn't seem to register when I setup the record. Watching this on a New Apple TV 4k over Ethernet. IOS 18 Newest Next Apple client, just downloaded a couple days ago.
Started watching the game ~17:46pm (43 minutes behind), all was good till I skipped ahead to bypass a commercial, it went to far and I tried to skip back. The skip back went way too far back. Not sure how far. But maybe many minutes, prior to where I had skipped ahead from. Dealt with that anomaly. Continued watching, about an hour into the game things took a weird turn. Couldn't skip forward and it kept going back, almost to the beginning of the recording. I had to quit out of Next and go a SageTV app on an Android device and watch the rest of the game in progress. Which worked as it always does.
Now I am wondering if NextPVR does not allow watching recordings that are still in process so we can timeshift to skip the commercials.
I am looking thru the logs. If timeshifting is allowed, what are the keys I need to look for to help me understand what happened last night?
EPG Update complete. [11042 inserted, 0 updated, 0 skipped] Adding the last update time/date to this line in Settings would be helpful and probably a lot easier then getting the logs and parsing them for that info. -Bill
Doing my due diligence I noticed NextPVR is proprietary software owned by one person. What happens to the software if something happens to that person? (Like they step in front of a bus) Do they have a Digital Inheritance/Continuity plan in place?
I ask this as I just experienced this.. I needed to upgrade a device from a prior version of hardware and could not find a newer version anywhere. I was able to get a hold of the original owners email address and asked how to get a newer one. What I got back was a kind of astonishing, and something I had never thought of myself. One of his kids responded that he had passed suddenly and no one had any information on how to keep the things going so it was all closed down. They were finally able to get into his email, but that was a far as they could go.
SageTV is opensource so if worst comes to worst I could possibly pay someone to fix it if stopped working. -Bill
Kind of amazing what things have become critical these days... -Bill
