I have a library of older videos and when I select one, it plays for about 30 seconds then goes black. Sound continues to work fine. No issues on TV Shows, but most of the movies are MP4, MKV files
Using Main Concept (HCW) Mpeg-2 Video Decoder.
All of the files work fine under VLC, just curious which player is NextPVR using and if I have some bad options set.
I have a collection of music videos that I play on a regular basis.
I would like to be able to play a playlist of selected videos using
NextPVR. Currently I can create playlists in .m3u format and
play these on my PC using VLC. I'd like to be able to play
these same playlists on my TV, e.g.:
P/Paul McCartney - Wonderful Christmas Time.mp4
R/Robbie Williams - So This Is Christmas.mp4
R/RUN-DMC - Christmas In Hollis.mp4

I can scan and receive 121 digital channels, but they are in the wrong order, should be:
Any idea how I rectify please? (whenever I rescan I seem to get exactly the same as before) I've already tried to make a custom channel group, by adding/dragging channels into my custom group and re-numbering them, but when I save this custom channel, my channel number edits are reversed back to the incorrect channel numbers (although the order I added them into is the order I want).
Hello all. I'm having some consistency issues with ImageGrabLite. I have NPVR recording a few shows, schedulesdirect account feeding the EPG, shows are saved to a networked share, and then that drive being read by Kodi. Kodi wasn't reading the files right, which led me to IGL.
So initially I set IGL with the switches --rename --zap2it --nfo. It wasn't creating the nfo files, which I stumbled on to that it only does that if it can't rename the file. It did rename the first file, but the name was huge. So before we go any further, at the end of all of this, I'm going to want my config to just create the nfo file and leave the filename alone (--zap2it --nfo --season).
So, the first file is imagegrablite.log.3 which IGL did rename the file and it worked in Kodi but the filename was huge (I realized later I don't want them so huge). I won't know for a few hours if just doing it with the NFO file and without the rename will work in my Kodi setup, but I can post more on that tomorrow.
Between this one above, and the ones below, I got to reading (and struggling with the series below where the failures start) and I changed the post processing.bat file to first do a rename and then create a nfo regardless (based on this).
Moving on, imagegrablite.log.2 is where the failures start. Same first command string, but it didn't rename or create the NFO. In doing some digging I think this may be because TVDB doesn't have updated info on this series, but I didn't discover that till later. Imagegrablite.log.1 is the second half of the command line, just forcing the nfo creation. It didn't do it either, same error.
I then started digging and found the TVDB issue may be part of the problem. And with the name issue, I changed the command line to just create the nfo, don't rename, and I added the --season option so that it wouldn't check anything online and just use the EPG data as that should be good enough for these shows (but I'm not 100% sure on that yet). Imagegrablite.log is the attempt with that string, and again, failure. FYI I recorded the same show again between logs 3/2 and 1 (I did delete it before it recorded again if that makes a difference); just changing the command line to try to get IGL working.
So can someone point me in the right direction to get this working?? Thanks!!
Hi,
I've tried searching for this, and I have not come up with anything. I'm running latest NextPVR with one internal WinTV and one HD homerun connect.
I'm using xmltv for guide info. For the most part, most channels are showing up OK in the guide. Only my source for the xmltv does list my local FOX
channels, so I need to grab it from the neighboring city. I pulled the neighboring city xmltv file, but when I go to mapping I'm still only seeing my local FOX.
Is there any way I can pull that info from the neighboring xmltv file for my channel?
thanks
I've had this issue since 3.5.7 and still have the error in 3.6.6. I posted initially as part of the thread http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...ServerName but it looks like that post got hijacked! :eek:So I'm creating a new post for this issue.
As I mentioned I've had the error since 3.5.7. That config was Windows 7 server on a gig link to the client. All my clients and I have three give the same error. I have since upgraded the server to Windows 10 and the issue persists. It only a nuisance bug but it should get looked at
I've uploaded client side logs
Thanks for a wonderful product in NPVR. Best support I've seen hands down on any product, commercial or otherwise in my 30 plus years as a PC enthusiast!
I am currently using BeyondTV 4 with a Hauppauge HVR-1600, s-video/analog audio connection. For various obvious reasons it's time to upgrade.
My needs are simple. I just want to capture programming from my Dish Network satellite receiver, in as high a quality as I can get. I want to use the EPG to schedule recordings. I am located in Atlanta, Georgia USA.
I have a fairly beefy Windows 7 64-bit server with multiple terabytes of drive space. I have ordered a Hauppauge Colossus 2 video capture card and an HDMI splitter that will purportedly strip HDCP. I will purchase a membership with Schedules Direct for my EPG source. My Dish receiver has both HDMI and component out, should my HDMI plans fall through.
Any holes in my plan? Any alternative recommendations? I considered the Rocket but was leery that recent firmware updates might break the HDCP stripping and would prefer an internal solution anyway. Suggestions/advice gratefully accepted, particularly from anyone with prior experience with Beyond TV.
