I am aware of the 3.6.6 update containing some fixes for the mostly empty EPG after the overnight update runs but mine still happens with 3.6.6 unfortunately.
I have just moved to a new HTPC completely as part of upgrade but I have had this problem all the time previosly, and I am a little bit frustrated one can say, not giving up but i would like to resolve it as I like NextPVR otherwise.
Everything is fresh installed Windows 10 etc etc..
I will try to include all the information up front
Hardware:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B85-HD3M
CPU: i7-4790
Video: Intel HD4600 (From CPU)
Memory: 2x2GB DDR1600 soon to be 2x4GB when the postie arrives..
HDD (OS): Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD
HDD (Recording - Currently while testing): Seagate 500GB 7200RPM
TV tuner 1: Pinnacle 3010X PCTV Dual DVB-T Hybrid Pro PCI-e installed using AverMedia H788 DVB-T driver (Old trick, found better PQ and channel switching speed)
TV tuner 2: Hauppauge WinTV HVR2200 Dual DVB-T PCI-e
Software:
Windows 10 Pro x64 with all up to date updates
NextPVR 3.6.6
Kodi 15.2 (But EPG problem is not in Kodi, it displays the same information as NextPVR)
Problem:
NextPVR wont do an update on most days to the EPG so it is empty till manually update from settings screen (works very reliably every time using the Update EPG button).
Now, I think the problem actually occurs more often then not.
02:54:00 AM - Automatic EPG update
10:44:16 AM - Manual Update EPG action in NPVR.log (same morning of the failed automatic EPG update)
Notes:
So everything is set up fresh, literally everything is as new.
The HTPC is set to sleep after 30 minutes and hybrid sleep is disabled, so it only sleeps in S3 otherwise I cant use the remote control to wake the PC.
Only one device is set up (out of 4 tuners available in the settings) for testing purposes, it is one of the AverMedia tuners.
What I can see?:
Looking at the logs the overnight update goes into ndigitalhost-27.log and the manual sticks to NPVR.log. Entries for automatic EPG update in NRecord.log too
Looking at the logs it looks like signal strength is low to 0% when it does the EPG update at night causing the problem?
I have had this problem dragging with me constantly and have been unable to shake it. I would love to get it working as intended.
All logs are attached from NextPVR log directory from the time the automated EPG update ran for relevance/inclusion if helpful.
Settings screenshots also attached to thread.
Hi all, I'm brand new to NextPVR and really trying to break away from the cable companies. I got a file server (FlexRAID), a server running Emby/MediaBrowser and just got into running a Homerun HD Prime with a cable card. So now I'm trying to get a DVR solution and NextPVR seems like a popular choice.
So just curious what a recommended setup for NextPVR would be?
My file server is fairly weak as far as processor power goes and has a very generic video card so not sure it can handle any sort of high quality encoding. So would it be more beneficial to run it with Emby which has a better video card? If so, should I keep recordings locally or can they be stored on a network drive? Is it better to put it on a dedicated PC? Or is it best to upgrade my file server with better hardware and load NextPVR on that so the drives are local?
Just looking for suggestions on what everyone else does that works best for them.
the comskip offset in config doesn't do anything on clients, i tried setting to 10 secs and nothing changes...
shame, as this is where it's badly needed, what with possible net overhead..
need logs? server too?
For all Recurring Recordings records no matter what they are, the "Find All" option results in unhandled exception - "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". It still works as expected in Pending Recordings for all records. Have demonstrated same bug on two completely independent machines.
This is an alternate art-based recordings display. It also can optionally display/merge Plex tv shows with recordings and display movies in your Plex library. Movies are accessed via the menu in NPVR (reached by pressing "up" on the top row) and are presented in separate, flat views for each Plex library section or all grouped together. Note that the Plex integration is limited to display and direct playback (Plex transcoding is not used). The resume points are not synched and Plex tv episode deletion is done via the file system, not through Plex. I don't know if I will work on this anymore but thought I would share it here in case it might be useful to others in its current form.
Hi.
Tried last 3.6.6 version, but the same FM radio problem still exist.
When first FM radio is started there's only buzzing garbage sound.
If I start FM radio with another software (Mediaportal, MPC-HC, etc.,) radio works, and then works also in NextPVR.
My card is a software analog card (Pinnacle 3010ix) with Philips 7162 chipset.
I remember that with older versions of NextPvr worked perfectly. Can't remember from which version started to fail, though.
Thank you,
sdf
I'm at a loss, I had my system working perfectly on a traditional hard drive. I installed an SSD in my older rig and cloned the hard drive, now when I try to watch live tv in npvr I get a black screen that appears to be frozen. If I hit excape a couple of times I can get back to the menu. My hardware is a Hauppauge 2250 card in an older core 2 duo machine. I have switched back and forth between the two drives and the old still works great but the SSD gets hung up. I have also performed a clean install on the SSD and still get the same black screen. The real killer is WinTV that came with the card can view the stream fine on the SSD setup, just not npvr.
