Off topic: I'm an ex Argus TV user giving NextPVR a shot. My first experience with the setup has been really good.
I love how simple it is to setup the devices, scan for channels, importing xmltv. Overall really pleased with the docs/wiki.
Now I'm busy trying to get my acamd config working with NPVR:
Multidec is enabled on my two tuners.
Placed FFDecsa.dll in "C:\Program Files (x86)\NPVR"
Placed my acamd config files in the generated folders:
e.g. "C:\Users\Public\NPVR\MDPlugins\Digital Devices DVB-S_S2 Tuner 1 #1-1" contains:
ACamd.dll
ACamd.ini
cardclient.conf
chcache.ini
I copied these files from my Argus setup, they worked perfectly i.c.w. MDAPI Plus.
Start NRecord.exe with RUN param to get more verbose output (found this on the forums somewhere).
Code:
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\NPVR"
./NRecord.exe RUN
Start live TV on encrypted channel:
Message window pops up: "Unable to find ffdecsa.dll"
Note:
- Without manually running "NRecord.exe RUN" the NPVR.exe app freezes when switching to an encrypted channel
- While this message is shown I see a taskbar icon for "acamd v0.6.2.0 monitor" and for "N-PVR Multidec"
Log files from NPVR are not showing the exact location where NPVR is looking for ffdecsa.dll, but AFAIK I did put it in the correct location as mentioned before.
I tried the 32_INT and 64_MMX versions of FFDecsa because these are the fastest filters according to the test app. Both times renamed the file to ffdecsa.dll before placing it in the NPVR installation directory. FFDecsa dll's + test app: https://mega.nz/#!Kgw1XByC!KskFGzvYBQHOT...08ntg17OJ0
P.S. Topic title could/should have been better but I pressed post too early - my bad :-)
I have had for a long time across multiple versions of NPVR where switching channels takes up to one minute when watching live TV. I have the channels pinned so I can click in the list to change channels. When I click on another channel the channel number updates immediately and the screen freezes for up to one minutes. Then sound will come back first and eventually the channel I changed to displays. And sometimes it never actually comes up and I have to closed and reopen NextPvr. Any Ideas. I am running a quad core computer with 8 gig of ram so it should be a processing power issue.
I have an EM 2875 USB tuner I would like to use with NextPVR. It sees the tuner since it is a BDA2875 chipset, but it mistakenly thinks it is a QAM tuner when it is actulally an off-air ATSC tuner. This causes it to not find the stations since the frequency centers are different for cable (QAM) and off-air (ATSC). Does anyone know how to fix this? Many thanks in advance.
The first option appears to be for around a specific time
The second appears to be without a specific time
The last (although called the same as the second) appears to be a text search for the name
Two questions...
1) Are the option names programmed into Kodi or into the Add-on (as options 2 and 3 shouldn't be the same description I guess)
2) Although the 2nd option does not ask for a time, it seems to add it into NPVR with a time, just like the first option :confused:
Sometimes when watching TV through Kodi the picture will freeze and Kodi then completely locks up although I can still hear the audio coming through. I have to reboot the system to get it working again. The Kodi log shows the below just before the crash:
Is there a way to set things up so that Kodi doesn't crash if this error is encountered? Is this a problem with the NextPVR addon or a deeper Kodi problem?
I'm using Windows 10, Kodi Javis Beta 4, standard Confluence skin and the latest Next PVR 3.6.6 available (5th Dec) (although Iâve just realised there was a patch release yesterday - so havenât updated to the new release of 3.6.6).
I'm in the UK where we have a number of part time channels, for example BBC3 broadcasts after 7:00PM and CBBC & CBBeebies stops broadcasting after 7:00PM.
When I change a channel to one of these channels that are no longer broadcasting, I get the expected "channel unavailable" message which is standard in Kodi. However, I then get a message saying that the "Next PVR tuner is no longer available". if i wait a couple of minutes i can then re-tune to a different channel although the "Next PVR tuner is no longer available" message is still visible and the only way I can get rid of it is to re-boot Kodi.
I appreciate Iâm using a beta version of Kodi, Iâm not sure if this is a known issue with the addon or Kodi itself? Iâm guessing it's nothing to do with the Next PVR backend, wasnâtâ sure whether to post here or in the Kodi forums, apologies if I should have posted over there although it looks like Sub frequents both forums.
I was originally going to save this post as draft and attach the logs when I get home... but Iâve just realised there's not a save button! Will upload logs tonight!
I've had this happen 2 or 3 straight nights now. I'm not sure if it's windows related or NPVR. A recording is going on between 2am and 3am. I wake up in the morning to find that it has stopped recording and NPVR has locked up. It looks like it was at 2:23am or so. I've attached all the logs, probably many non-relevant, for some hopeful assistance.
I recently installed NextPVR on my server hoping to use it as a replacement for WMC in the future. I went to select decoders in the settings menu but none are showing up. I have Cyberlink PowerDVD 15 installed on the machine, should the decoders that come with it be showing up in the settings--> Decoders menu? The machine it's running on is running Windows Server 2012 R2 if that makes a difference. I would really appreciate any advice you can offer.
