I install Nextpvr I add my devices it only finds 2 of them. I have the two Hauppauge 1600 cards scan for channels for Over the air hd. it finds them no problem. I go to live tv it says no temp buffering file created so no live TV. WTF, the program didn't make the buffer folder? I chose a folder to store recordings so why isn't it using that?
Why didn't it find my third hauppauge PVR-150 card? The fact this doesn't even have a setup button in the main panel seems rather crude. Plus after installed it it said there was a newer version. BUT when I try to install said new version it fails. I believe because Iam supposed to stop the NPVR SERVICE what ever the heck that means . I search the forums here and find people saying they cant get there Service to start BUT nothing on how to STOP said Service. WTF. I have been using Sage TV but wanted to try something else. this software needs MUCH improvement. Its like iam supposed to be a programmer to get it to work. Plus I saw nothing about getting my usbUirt and remote to work with this software. That should be part of the main setup. I realize its a free software so I guess I cant expect much. Oh well it was worth a look.
My show runs in the same time slot and channel 7 days a week.
What is the best way to record this show only on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday? Do I need to schedule 4 weekly recordings, one for each day or is there a better way?
I realize that there is <Days>...</Days> keyword but what's the best way to change the keywords contents? Can a Rule be invoked? SQL? XML edit?
Unless I have missed it the only way to change the time when setting up a manual recording is to bump the arrow keys. Keyboard here does nothing. So, when setting up a recording that is, say, 10 hours in the future, it would be nice if the end time would also move as you set the start time. Then there would only be a small amount of arrow poking to get the stop time set.
I have a very strange issue that I can't seem to figure out. I don't believe I've made any changes to my nextpvr setup in months. However, all of the sudden my recordings seemed to be failing to record. Newa shows them as available, however there are no files in my recording directory. After scratching my head, looking at logs and uninstalling/reinstalling I was giving up. Then I decided to go into newa and attempt to play one of these supposedly available recordings. They play through newa and vlc just fine. I just can't find them! Kodi can't find them either.
If I go into the video library of newa and navigate to the folder I picked to store recordings, they are magically all in there. Something screwy is going on. Here's what I've tried.
Uninstall/reinstall with full device setup and even created and used a new directory that I made through the nextpvr config screen.
Hidden and system files are shown and I'm using Windows 10.
I went through the support sticky and made sure I made all of the changes requested. Installed dx, disabled windows firewall completely, checked folder permissions.
One last thing to add. If I record a show while inside of Kodi it will record and it will record to the correct directory where I can see it both in Windows and in Kodi under Recordings.
Could some kind person explain to me the process that NextPVR goes through when streaming an MP4 (previously transcoded with ffmpeg from .ts) to a client using port 8866.
The reason for asking is that I am getting about 450ms lip sync delay on the video when I use VLC on a client pc with this:-
But if I use VLC to access the file directly with this:-
Code:
F:\Media\temp\Strictly Come Dancing\Strictly.Come.Dancing.S13E08.Part.One.mp4
(F: mapped to \\192.168.0.101)
There is no discernible lip sync issue.
I'm using VLC here to try to reduce unknowns and because it lets me adjust the sync. However the real issue is on my Samsung TV's which exhibit the same problem, but with no way to adjust it.
I donât want to start messing with decoders etc that I'm assuming aren't used, but without understanding what is going on I cant guess what to look at. I dont think the ts to mp4 transcode is responsible as it plays fine however I play it on the server.
Some recorded programs seem better than others, but 'Strictly' seems to be a problem every week and it driving the boss nuts!
Hi sub and rkulagow. Sub added the option to download landscape artwork from Schedules Direct in order for Emby to get better image metadata. It seems that its only possible to receive landscape artwork in 360 x 270 resolution, which make the aspect ratio 4:3. Attachment 1. shows how that would look in Emby.
The second attachment shows that EmbyTV (built in service for HDHomeruns) seems to use different aspect ratio to get landscape thumbs from Schedules Direct.
Could there be an option to make NPVR get similar artwork from Schedules Direct to what Emby gets?
I have 1 niggle, and whether or not is NPVR I do not know, but here goes.
So I boot up HTPC. Kodi loads up, I try to put live TV on and the working symbol just keeps spinning, the working symbol will eventually stop, but still no TV. (Tuner no longer available will pop up) I restart Kodi & I do notice that the NPVR tray icon turns red and then goes white when I do this.
Live TV then works perfectly fine, until the next reboot.
