I am attempting to help someone at VideoHelp set up NextPVR to use a Hauppauge HVR-1950's analog tuner. The analog tuner will be used for recording from a SD DTA (a simplified cable box for Comcast, a well-known US cable provider) which only supplies programming via NTSC channel 3 or channel 4.
SHS (who runs shspvr.com) joined in the conversation and stated that NextPVR does not support any analog tuners which use hardware encoding. I would have thought that something like that would have been mentioned in NextPVR's wiki, but there is nothing like that there. SHS told me to ask sub because I didn't beleive him, so I am.
Looking for alternative to WMC. Came across NextPRV and hoping to use with the above network tuner.
To my surprise NextPVR pick up tuners without fuss. However, when viewing live TV, picture jaggeder and audio stuttering. Muck around with the audio and video codecs. Got to a point where I could view standard definition TV ok (I think) but HD channels no gowa.
At this point, I was really hoping to obtain help with setup? I am more then happy to donate money!!!!!
Does anyone know whether use of this tuner is possible?
Hi, i'm on Win7 using Nectpvr and Kodi. So i get a not reproducable error while watching live TV in Kodi: After some minutes the live TV stops playing, after several seconds
it continues and then stops completly. This leads to a not responding Kodi.
Well it seems we can't get through a winter without somewhere in the UK getting flooded and this year is the same. My thoughts go out to residents of Cumbria, Lancashire and Yorkshire who were affected by this.
Normally it's just something I hear about on the radio news or see on the TV but this year I only needed to take a walk for a few minutes to see it first hand. Christmas wasn't much fun this year for some of my neighbours with the Environment Agency issuing a flood warning at around 11pm on the 25th for the stretch of River Aire which runs close to my house (thankfully not too close though).
The flood warning here was lifted at around lunch time but I hear York (about 40 miles East) has been hit now. Hoping all the NPVR users up this way are warm and dry.
We often utilize STL subtitle files (as my decoder does not seem to support subtitles). If the program has any glitches in it (not uncommon with Comcast), the timing of the subtitles gets off, sometimes by seconds or even up to a minute when really bad reception. It would be fantastic to have a keycode or remote button (preferred) that could adjust the subtitle timing when read from a file. I have seen this in VLC as well as a video player on my Android tablet.
A brief look at wishlist I did not find similar request, but did not do an exhaustive look, so I apologize if this is duplicate.
I'm new to NextPVR so I might just be missing something simple. I've got version 3.6.6 installed. I'm using OTA reception only (no cable or sat) My channels were discovered by NextPVR and I can even load in the channel schedule . The problem is that hen I try and watch live TV, I get an "unable to communicate with recording service" message.
I've attached the log files if that helps.

I'm running a SAT>IP server and am able to receive SD channels but HD channels return a blank screen and the log infers a signal problem. If I run an application on my Android phone I am able to receive HD channels without issue. I can also watch them with other applications but I prefer to use NextPVR if possible.
Please see attached log showing an SD channel tuned followed by BBC HD in the UK.
I noticed that the FM section of my HVR-2255 is missing on NextPVR. It shows up on the Win-TV8 supplied with the card but not NextPVR. Anyone have any ideas? Also I am running 3.6.6 and there does not seem to be an add FM but I think that is due to the fact it is not finding the analog FM section.
NPVR is a fantastic application. Works flawlessly in my setup. I use NPVR as a backend only with Plex and Plexbmc as the presentation portion with a raspberry pi. Since I don't access NPVR directly unless logging into the system, I find that if there is an issue with recording or something else going on, I don't know until some time has passed and this could result in missed recordings.
I also use Couch Potato and Sabnzbd to support my other viewing needs. These applications support Growl and such which can notify me when things complete or something else happens. And this works really well.
I have been searching the forums but have not been successful finding references to this type of options. Is there something like this supported with NPVR or other options that can be used? My preference would be to get a simple notification on my phone with status and the like of recordings.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions and guidance. Very much appreciated.
