Just wondering if its possible to setup the nextpvr addon in kodi to access my server at home to watch tv over the net. Figured this is a long shot b/c of the file sizes but thought i'd try... i have port 8866 open and can get guide data but i have no idea what other ports to open to access my 6 tuners when i actually click on a channel to watch it.
My last hard drive died, so I hooked up another one.
The last drive was a desktop drive plugged into a USB port on the media PC that NextPVR was running on.
This drive is plugged into my router and uses a Raspberry Pi running DietPi File Server.
After getting the Network Drive (NAS) up and running so that all PCs on the home network could access it, I uninstalled my HDHomeRun software, rebooted, installed it clean, and configured all of my 26 channels in NextPVR (HDHomeRun EXTEND requires all channels be setup as H.264 HD, one by one).
I went into Settings and pointed the Recording to my DietPi File Server: \\DIETPI\dietpi\DVR\RecordedTV.
NextPVR wasn't able to play the files, so I did the old uninstall/reinstall trick.
I've been having some intermittent issues with some of my scripts related to renaming. I've been looking in the DB, and I noticed that the filename field in SCHEDULED_RECORDINGS is only 50 bytes... That ends up truncating many of my recording filenames. Is that expected?

I am having a problem with imagegrablite - I am getting failure with NFL games, both on an updateepg call and an actual recording.
I know I can make the error go away if I add "nfl football" to the excluded.txt file for SearchLite. Problem is, I don't want to do that, I'd like to use imagegrablite to rename and add the subtitle in the name (the teams) as well as create an nfo file.
Any idea what is causing the issue and how to resolve?

I'm using schedules direct for my epg. That data appears to be off by 2 hours. The data is coming down as gmt-7 and should be gmt-5. How can I fix this?
So I can play recordings back, but cannot play live TV in either Firefox, Chrome or on Android Plex Client (those 3 being the only ones I have checked).
In Firefox I get this error: "Cannot load M3U8: No levels to play".
My new DVB-T2 tuner when used with my HP Microserver is intermittent when recording SD but does not work with HD signal. So my first though that it was a signal level problem. However if I plug it into a PC being used as a NextPVR test server using the same aerial lead it works well. I have a RTL2382/R820 tuner which also does not work in the Microserver but works in the test server PC. The RTL tuner is frequently used for SDR applications instead of TV and is well known for not working in some computers and the solution is to run it plugged into a powered hub.
Using a powered USB hub the RTL tuner takes around 230ma increasing to 320ma when recording SD and the DVB-T2 tuner takes 160ma increasing to 220ma recording SD and 250ma HD. Looking at the USB hubs in Windows Device Manager all ports are specified as 500ma however from the tests I would say that the Microserver has a limit of around 220ma. A possible solution which could remove the need for an external PSU is a USB "Y" lead so the power to the tuner is taken from two USB sockets on the PC.
