While processing the TS files i was trying to decide what to do with the original file and decided I would like them in
the Recycle Bin where they can stay until it is full and then disappear.   I did the below on a Windows 11 PC.

1.  Create a new local Windows user.   I was able to make this work without it having admin privileges.

2.  Log into that new acct and set the size of the recycle bin for the drive with the recordings.
Note that it is specific for that user and you will not see the file in the Recycle Bin from a different acct.

3.  Install this module in PowerShell (one time)       Install-Module -Name Recycle
Add line in your batch file where needed:
powershell -executionpolicy bypass "Remove-ItemSafely -path '%~dpn1.ts' "

4.  Update the NextPVR service to run under the new acct and restart the service.
It seems to work fine with the acct not having admin.

I have a windows 10 and have not been able to complete the install.  I have included the install log as a zip.   The gist of it is:

2024-10-01 12:45:10.986 [DEBUG][10] Unzip complete
2024-10-01 12:45:10.991 [DEBUG][10] 'NextPVR Service' is installed

I have no idea how to fix this.  Thank you.

Hi,
I just installed the latest 6.1.1 (221106) NPVR and cannot find any way to manually update the EPG. Help says it's in General settings, but I see nothing there, or anywhere else. Clicking on Device & Channels in the client just takes me to the web-based Settings page, and I can find nothing there.
Older versions had this. Has it been removed? I hope not - I used it all the time prior to setting up a recording as I don't leave my PC running 24/7, and don't have a set time I turn it on to set up an automatic update. I'd gladly go with a way to have it automatically update the EPG on startup if there's an option to do that.
FWIW, I have a USB TV tuner "stick" pulling in ATSC channels (38 total) that all show up in the Guide.

Hi.   I have tried opening various MP4 files on the NextPVR client and they don't open.  I will attach the logs.

Using the Lav Decoders.    How do I troubleshoot this?

Hello.  Recently, I've had to replace my computer motherboard.  In rebuilding NextPVR, I was able to connect to the TV card (Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2255) and rescan the channels.  Prior to the motherboard change, I was able to watch and record all of the PBS channels (channels 11-1 thru 11-5) available in the Chicago area.  After replacement,  I am able ro reconnect to all the previous channels except PBS.  I am running NPVR v6.1.5.231022 on a Win10 box.  Any info/suggestions would be appreciated!

I am running a windows 11 vm in proxmox and I have a WinTV-HVR-955Q passed through to the vm. The tuner shows up in web client but when I try to scan for channels it goes through the process but never finds any channels. Anyone know how to fix this?

Ciao a tutti, circa un mese fa in Italia è stato attivato il primo mux in codifica DVB T2 hevc, ho notato subito che il cambio canale è molto lento (6/7 secondi) rispetto alle altre tecnologie (DVB T, DVB S2). E' normale oppure si può fare qualcosa a livello software (NextPVR, aggiornamento codec..) o hardware (aggiornamento firmware HD HOMERUN).
Grazie, Marco.

Hi,
My iptv provider uses rotating links for the stream which are fetched from a base url.

E.G ffmpeg connects to "https://someiptvprovider.com/streams/994724824708/" which returns "https://someiptvprovider.com/hls/hfsjfhiouf89f89f7fs8fg/index.m3u8

the issue with this is that the return url changes every 2 hours or so, causing ffmpeg to close and cut off my recordings, 
I've tried to use some flags like "-reconnect" and "-reconnect_on_eof" and stuff like that, the issue is that these flags
try to reconnect to the redirected url instead of the one input into ffmpeg. there is a 7 year old bugtracker post about this
on ffmpeg's bugtracker, but it's still open and has no responses at all.

Is it possible to have some sort of xml line that checks if ffmpeg closed and restarts it to continue playing?
E.G
<reconnect>
     reconnect=true
</reconnect>

I'm also open to other ideas to get the same result.

I use NextPVR on a MacBook and there are times when I actually do have to turn off the computer. Whenever I turn the macbook back on, I have to always use the "cd NPVR dotnet ./NextPVRServer.dll" command because I can't access the "localhost:8866/index.html" site without doing that first.


Is there a "start" command of some sort that I could always use when that happens? Or even better, is there a way to make NextPVR start automatically on device startup?

So, Mediacom is retiring its ClearQAM signal, and is forcing their customers to rent decoders going forward. Monday morning 23rd September, there no longer was any signal coming in on any tv in this household, everything needed to be decoded.

So, this means i will be retiring the SiliconDust box for sure, and i'll see what i can do with NextPVR and perhaps Hulu or other services, IP TV, etc. But for the near future, won't be visiting the forum that often anymore :-(

Sad day.

Team, thank you for the opportunity to use your software, thanks for helping me out with questions i had, good luck for the future :-D
