I have been looking at this for a while, only now have enough time and more importantly the money to investigate further.
I have an NPVR server (which to be honest hasn't done much since i moved to satellite and Rogers (Canada) went weird with there (lack of, we are now deleting but not telling anyone) analogue support. So i have moved from the Raspberry Pi which was a GREAT XBMC / KODI machine (but ate SD cards once a week) to the Intel Compute Stick, meaning i now have Windows 10 (home) with KODI and NPVR, it will also have a Hauppauge HD-PVR2 on it (with a blaster). I plan to install way more Intel Compute sticks (they are brining out a Quad core in February, early warning alert no one knows about, as i am an Intel partner i hear about such things.
So layout below:
NPVR server, (no hardware recording device, all KODI looking at it for schedules and recordings)
NPVR client with a HD-PVR2 (which also has KODI installed looking back at the above server for recording directories and live TV).
How do i set these up? i only really want one scheduler, however, so is this held in the server? if so will it command the client NPVR to change the channel on the HD-PVR2 with the blaser?
Can't find much documentation to all of this, downloaded the Network Recorder and NetTarget thing from the Wiki, however before i go playing wanted to check in on this.
With my plex channels I've been notified that if the channel ids contain decimals they do not seem to be picked up.
It's only for like TV that I need all the listing so I tend to use: /service?method=channel.listings.current&sid=plex&client=abc
Looking at the output received by this command it doesn't seem to include all of the decimal placed channels.
I see you post a /service?method=channel.list for kodi, does that mean I should issue this command, then get what is currently being broadcast for each channel? (that's a lot of web calls).
Hi
I am running the latest update of NextPVR and the latest Version of TVMC. I am running a Windows 7 platform and up until recently, I have been able to view
my NEXTPVR via TVMC.I have been using it since around August this year.
All of a sudden I started to get the NEXTPVR PVR Client Tuner No longer available. Thinking it may have been the Windows Firewall and or my Trend Antivirus
I turned off both and still the problem persisted.
I removed NEXTPVR and TVMC (around four or five times) and reinstalled them with no change to my problem.
I figured I would send a log to the forum to see if anyone could help. I found out how to save a log in TVMC using the Debugging Tool via a YouTube clip.
I followed the procedure to the letter, but when I was prompted to put in my email address to where the log should be sent as an URL, the email never
arrived. After about 4 or 5 attempts, I went to the Maintenance Tool Icon thinking that may I needed to clear the log file cache. When I attempted to do
this it brought up a "Script Error". So the upshot is I cannot even send a log file. Can someone please help in some way. I have already perused all
the forums on this issue, but without being able to send a log, I think I am doomed!!! It is so frustrating, as when the channel is selected that I would like to view,
it starts up OK and displays for about 5 seconds, hangs, and the message appears.
I have been trying to sort this issue for around a week now, but I am running out of steam. Any help would be gratefully received.
Regards.
When I choose "Live TV" from NPVR 3.5.7 menu I always get a black screen with no sound. I looked to my C:\temp folder and a .ts file appears when I see the black screen and disappears when I hit ESC key and go back to the main menu. I also tried to install the SAF6 codec package and ensured that I've seleced a MPEG2 video decoder (LAV). Note that the recording feature works properly.
I've attached my log files for details. My system runs Windows 10 x64 and my tuner is a Silicondust HDHomeRun.
I've had a problem for many months with NextPVR taking a long time (> 1-2 seconds) to start/stop playback of a recorded video. I can hear my hard drive working as I start/stop recordings. Is it possible that NextPVR SQL database is full of unnecessary data and thus is the bottleneck? Log attached. The performance is worse when I have more recordings. I'll have to observe the behavior again and attached the log file again at that time.
I've noticed start/stop playback has become less responsive over the past year. I haven't changed any system HW or the codec (SAF); I updated SAF this morning and rebooted my system.
I have a Silicon Dust HDHR3 and am wondering if it is compatible with Next PVR? Install of Next PVR went good on this Windows 7 machine but when I go into settings,devices it shows both of the HDHomerun tuners but when I scan no ch`s come in.Thanks in advance for any help as it would be nice to get my HDHomerun working again to record as to this day I still get no guide using Windows media Center.
I would love to see the Channel Name appended to the Recorded File Name Eg.... "Speedweek" on "SBS 1" Currently is output to "G:\Recorded TV\Speedweek_20151129_14011600.ts" This could become "G:\Recorded TV\Speedweek_20151129_14011600 [SBS 1].ts"
The reason being our CH 9 has done some adjustments to its channels (fair enough)
Their old HD Channel was 1440x1080i at 16:9 and MPEG (all is good, all the other HD broadcasts are the same, well almost ... "ABC News 24" is 1280x720 at 16:9 but still MPEG)
9HD is NOW 1920x1080i at 16:9 BUT "AVC" AND "AC3"
I would like to be able to convert the recordings for 9HD to MPEG in postprocessing.bat prior to "Normal" processing.
The only way I can think of identifying 9HD is to have 9HD in the file name.

Was watching a show, audio just suddenly dropped out. Not sure what happened, but I've lost audio on all files now playing through NPVR. Windows sounds work fine, and the same video I was watching I was able to play fine with another media player, but all video files now suddenly have no sound when played through NPVR, whether external video files or files recorded with NPVR. Logs attached, not sure what to do or try next to fix this.
Hoping someone can provide me some understanding to the recurring recording priority logic.
I have read every post in the forum but was unable to troubleshoot my issue. Best I can tell, I may have a corrupt database or something. Here are some of the underlying problems.
When I priority sort "descending", NPVR still thinks I am "ascending." I currently have 53 recurring programs. I can manually move between 1-38. But 39-53 are fixed and will not move. I have run -removehistory and -updatedb, but that has not solved it. Also, I have plug-in TV Listings and the priority list does not match Recordings from the NPVR program (well, just a few shows - not all). When I check the recurring-backup file it definitely still shows ascending no matter what sort I use.
Please let me know what files to post. Possibly the db3 or NRecord? Thanks.
