Tried NextPVR v3.4.8 and now this one v3.5.7 on Win 8.1 x64 with HDHR4-2DT. Installed correctly, HD HomeRun software works fine, but NextPVR does not find any channels when scanning. Have disabled the Windows/MacFee Firewall, and done a fresh install (uninstalled NPVR and restarted before installing new version). IS it just that NPVR does not support HDHR4 models ?
Attaching npvr.log, not when try to stop service using 'Stop NPVR Service' get this error:
I just upgraded to version 3.5.7 and found that the main menu had changed from horizontal to vertical. I actually think that I like the vertical better, but would prefer to have the "Exit" menu option at the end of the list. Right now, "System" is at the end. Is there a way to change the order of the plugins?
The upgrade loaded without any problem. But, when I attempt to schedule a recording and am on the screen that has several options of lead time and extra ending time a problem happens. Click on the OK and nothing happens. Locks up. Only way out is right mouse button and exit. Looking at the log file, I see it states at the end some popups can not be found. Maybe has something to do with the lock up. ????? Thoughts?
I have a re-installation in Brisbane Australia due to a OS crash:
Vista
NPVR 3.5.7
Leadtek DTV1000s
When I scan for channels I get everything except for the channels at 219500 if I set the country and region to Australia Brisbane. (also with "scan Offsets checked). It simply finds nothing.
If I scan all regions it will find something at 219500, (Actually 219375) but it is unknown and will not play.
I have had this problem previously, but cannot recall for the life of me how I got around it. The channles at 219500 until before the OS crash were perfect so I know they are there!
I have no idea if this has anything at all to do with 3.5.7, I don't use my client much, and almost never for live tv so I really can't say this wouldn't have happened exactly the same a month ago...
Early this afternoon I started watching the little league world series USA championship game on my client (Win 10 pro running 3.5.7 client). It ran for quite some time without incident, an hour at least
Around 2:05pm I needed to make some lunch for the kids so I went out to the living room and started live tv on the main tv (win 7 pro running 3.5.7 server); I left the client running live tv as well.
At his point several weird things happened:
- Live TV took quite awhile to start on the server, seemed like it was about 10 seconds
- Live TV started on channel 2.2, not channel 2 like it should have
- I typed 7 and hit ok to change to channel 7 - it changed to 7.2 instead
- I pressed ch-up once to move to channel 7 and it skipped to channel 5.3
(in short, I could access only subchannels this way, not regular channels)
- I finally pressed F1 to bring up the guide and selected channel 7 from there, it then switched to the LLWS as expected
Later on returning to my client PC I found it sitting at the false "the tuner you were using was required for a recording" message; there was a recording running, but it had started already at 1pm and had moved to a different tuner anyway. Looking at the logs now it's clear Live TV died on the client at the exact same time I was starting it on the server.
Yes, all channels exist on all tuners (except Disney which has it's own tuner, but that's not in play here).
Logs from client and server attached.
Note that the clock on the client is almost exactly 15 seconds ahead of the server, so bear that in mind if you compare timestamps in the logs.
Once again I'm having trouble upgrading NPVR. I tried to stop NPVR before upgrading but I don't think I did it correctly. (How do you stop it correctly in Windows 8.1? In Windows 7 I had no problems).
Now I cannot record or watch live TV. Last time the problem was that NPVR was not allowed through the firewall but as you can see here it seems that it's allowed now:
[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]
I have attached my logs.
I was looking for answers to the problem of new recordings not showing in the recordings list. When the Nextpvr update became available, all works great now. Kodi 15.2.
If you're upgrading from a previous release, remember to make sure you stop NextPVR before running the upgrade, using the 'Stop NPVR Server' shortcut (or kill NTray.exe and stop the 'NPVR Recording Service' service).
Please post any support issues in the support forum.

I recently installed NextPVR 2.4.8 on a new Windows 8.1 system.
FYI, the installer did not create the initial NPVR service as it used
the directory C:\Users\Public\NPVR rather than C:\Program Files (x86)\NPVR.
