Reading between the lines, i.e. forum posts, it seems "not possible"?
We have finally got Netflix here (yes I could have used a VPN before) and I was excited to try and integrate it with NextPVR.
I have 2 dual tuner Hauppauge 2250 running Windows 10. Recording and Live TV works great!
The issue is when recording a show and then going live TV Channel Up and Downs 1 channel is skipped. The attached file first shows the channels switching normally. 2.1,2.2,6.1,6.2, 9.1. Then I pressed record and the show started recording. Next I hit the back button, it went to 6.2 correctly, then went to 2.1, skipping 2.2. I tried it with the remote and through the NextPVR channel change control. Also if you record 2 shows at once, it skips 2 channels.
I can get to the channel by right clicking and selecting channels, then selecting the skipped channel.
Just installed Kodi 15.2 with NextPVR 3.6.6 as backend. When I used NextPVR to watch a recording, I was able to use the skip forward (1 minute) and skip backward buttons. When I used Kodi to watch the same recording, the skip forward button did nothing and the skip backward button rewind the recording to the beginning.
Any idea? Please help.
FYI - When I first installed NextPVR using LAV codec to pay MPEG2 recording, the skip forward and backward buttons would not work. After I switched the codec to use PowerDVD-12, the skip forward and backward buttons work properly. Is this the same issue with Kodi? Does Kodi use its own codec to play the recording rather than using the codec in NextPVR? If this is the case, is there anyway to change the codec in Kodi?
This is a deal breaker for me since my family use the skip forward button to skip commercials all the time. This is the first time that I used Kodi and NextPVR. We used WMC for 10+ years.
I am a real noob so please try and tolerate my ignorance. I can record on quick record no problem but on timer when an ota digital channel it records a couple of minutes and stops . Is this a problem with the ota digital channels or my settings? I apologize if this is in the wrong place but I have attached logs below. The last time this happened was tonight trying to record the big bang theory from 8-8:30 .
Hi all, haven't been on here for quite a while. Life.
A couple years ago, we noticed that our recordings from ATSC (via the classic HDHR) started showing signs like the signal strength got poor in about the last 15 minutes of nearly every show we recorded. Some channels record perfect like my daughter's cartoons on PBS. Watching Live/Timeshifted TV on the same channels that the recordings are made from works great, never see the blocky, tearing, locking up video issue. This is on my HTPC. We quit recording OTA for my wife and I's shows and used the Dish receiver. We're trying to cancel our subscription to use Dish so I'd like to get this OTA issue sorted.
I installed the latest version of NextPVR the other night on my main computer (Phenom II x4, 8GB RAM, Win7 64bit) to see if maybe it was an issue with the HTPC. The same issue happens on it. LiveTV/timeshifted works fine while recordings have video issues like the signal is cutting out. While the recordings are happening, the PC (and HTPC for that matter) haven't been used for anything else. HDHR's config/view panel shows the signal strength of one of the channels in question to be 100%, signal quality to be around 68-70% and symbol quality to be 100%. The cable comes from the antenna in the attic into one of these amps and then two connections go to the HDHR and the other to a digital TV (which we've never seen signal issues on it either).
I'm guessing it's gotta be the signal quality but it just doesn't make sense that we would never see the issue with LiveTV or on the TV in our den.
I needed a Windows Media Server 7 replacement and I found this .... Universal Media Server Version 5.4.0 at http://www.universalmediaserver.com. and it is free
The current version is 5.5.0 released 2016-01-05
It allows access to my video library by my Sony KDL-55HX750, WesternDigital TV Live HD Media Player and other PC's on the network.
Note:- I have not tried my Samsung Galaxy S2 Phone or my Samsung Galaxy Tab S (10.5) WiFi as of yet, so I cannot say if it works with them or not.
I have trouble accessing my "Media" PC after I copy video from my "Work" PC via network shares and I forget to reboot the "Media" PC.
UMS will work when I forget to reboot, which makes the wife happy
There is a down side .... It Uses Java

"Universal Media Server is a DLNA-compliant UPnP Media Server.
It was originally based on PS3 Media Server by shagrath.
UMS was started by SubJunk, an official developer of PMS, in order to ensure greater stability and file-compatibility.
Universal Media Server supports all major operating systems, with versions for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.
The program streams or transcodes video, audio and image formats with little or no configuration.
It is powered by FFmpeg, MEncoder, tsMuxeR, MediaInfo and more, which combine to offer support for a wide range of media formats."[/COLOR]
Just installed 3.6.6 in a Windows 10 Pro x64. Everything seemed to be working fine except the Search plugin. The Search screen came up without any listing. TV Guide is working. I am using Schedules Direct.
Any idea?
FYI - I am new to NextPVR and have been using WMC over 10+ years. NextPVR/kodi will be replacing WMC in my Windows 10 box.
I recently upgraded my NPVR server from Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro. Since then all recordings have failed with the following error, No Errors but no data delivered, this is usually because the device failed to lock a signal. I am also unable to watch Live TV. I get a blank screen which eventually comes back and gives me the following error The tuner you were using was required for a recording...
I have reinstalled NPVR, reinstalled Silicondust drivers, deleted and reinstalled NPVR, all to no avail and completely disabled the firewall on the server. I am able to tune to any channel using the Silicondust View application.
I was previously running Windows 10, Kodi and MP TV Server but after a number of years (and a motherboard crash) decided to wipe a go with Windows 10, Kodi and NextPVR backend because I imagine your software will be using a lot less resources than the stonking great MySQL+TV Server backend of media portal - I have a low powered device.
With my last setup, if you where watching a video or live TV when entering sleep mode, upon waking you would see that playback had been stopped prior and Kodi would just be sitting at the menu instead. With the new setup this behaviour is still present and correct for videos but is not happening with live TV. If I leave live TV playing when I hit sleep and wake it back up, the TV imagine is frozen on screen and if I press the back button, Kodi crashes.
NextPVR used to work fine. Around about the middle of December, it stopped working. I run the client on the same machine as the server. It may have been when I upgraded to Windows 10, but I think I saw it working fine for a while. New recordings fail with "Recording Service not running at recording time". Live TV usually comes up with a black screen, but sometimes works (rarely) and sometimes gives me the can't connect message (I haven't seen that one in a while so I don't have the exact verbage). It is configured for a HDHOMERUN device, and the HDHomerun Viewer seems to work with no problems. Scanning for devices seems to work in the PVR client. I did an uninstall/reinstall to no avail.
