I just received a letter from xfinity indicating they will be switching to MPEG-4 format for their cablecards next month in my area. I've checked the SiliconDust site, and it appears my HDHR will support that stream.

Quote:As part of our HD Enhanced Program, we are upgrading the way we deliver HD channels in your area. The new format delivers HD channels using MPEG-4 technology that delivers crystal-clear HD signals more efficiently. For you to enjoy the benefits, it's important that your equipment is compatible with the MPEG-4 format. This network upgrade only affects HD channels and will begin on or about 11.17/2015.

I'm trying to watch LiveTV and this keeps popping up. I tried to start and stop the recording service, but it says that it can't find it.

I have attached the logs folder.

Hello -
I'm using zap2xml to grab guide data. I have a zap2it account setup with my preferred channels, and I have the channels mapped properly to the xmltv file. I get good guide data for 90% of my channels, but there are a few that are showing zero data. I took a quick look at the logs, and everything appears to be good...for instance the logs shows:

2015-10-09 10:07:57.930 [INFO][7] -channel: 'KET' has 85 listings
2015-10-09 10:07:57.930 [INFO][7] -channel: 'KET2' has 78 listings
2015-10-09 10:07:57.930 [INFO][7] -channel: 'KET KY' has 63 listings

But the guide shows nothing for those three channels.

I've attached the logs (and my xmltv file) - any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
John

Does anybody have any advice for recording sports? In particular, NHL and MLB games. In NYC we have 7 channels that might potentially show hockey games (4 local channels, NHL, NBCSports, NBC), and baseball may be on a number of channels as well. The games are usually listed as "NHL Hockey" or "MLB Baseball" with the team name in the program subtitle. We have 3 hockey teams and 2 baseball teams on top of the national broadcasts (I imagine this is also an issue for NBA). Obviously recording the season of "NHL Hockey" is not an option even if "any channel" was.

In the web interface (http://[host]:8866) I am able to search for the team name in the subtitle and filter by channels and genre, but the settings at the top of the page, first run seemingly most important, seem to make no effect, and at any rate occur after the screen in which I would be able to save the search for auto-recording.

I've been trying to figure this out between the NextPVR desktop interface, web interface, and Kodi.

Thank you for any insight you might be able to lend!

Apologies if this is stated somewhere, but does NextPVR support the Accurate Recording spec of Freeview in the UK?

Hi: Please see attached logs. Last night the show Survivor did not record.
It was scheduled to record at 8 pm on Oct 7th.

I do have a blaster setup and normally the script that I call creates the object
LMRemoteKeyMap.IRDevices and changes the channel.

If I understand correctly, it does not look like the blaster script was called though.

This does not happen on every recording, but I do not understand what is different.
Any ideas?

Well, the latest problems with the MC2XML epg data weened us off cable TV. We are moving on to Netflix, Shomi (canada), and Kodi with the proper addons.

It's been almost 10 years and I learned a lot and my entire family benefited from the GBPVR setup. I'll probably still use NPVR for local content but I see using it less and less...unless there's a Netflix plugin. It's unfortunate because I spent the last year building my last rig with my first LED TV (still using a CRT), I7, Colossus, HDPVR, IR blasters and set top boxes.

Just wanted to extend a thanks to Sub and all the people on the forums.

Sub, as a token of appreciation, I've made a donation.

Hello.

Sometimes, my scheduled EPG update seems to be failing. By some reason, it is happening quite often.
I did not found any issues in LOGs, but i had scheduled recording this evening starting at 18:55.
I looked on my HTPC and it was not resumed few minutes to 19:00 so i started it manually. Then i checked TV guide and a lot of time slots containing "no data" values.
On channel, where recording should be done, EPG was missing until 20:00.

Any ideas?

I recently upgraded to Windows 10 and Next PVR 3.5.7. Now when I try to skip or FF to get to the start of one of my shows, it completely locks up the playback. One or two skips works, but then it basically freezes until I hit ESC to return to the recording directory. Interestingly skip is working fine on recordings from Next PVR 3.3.8 that were recorded on Windows 8.1. I have attached my logs from my last attempt.

Thanks.
