By my user id, you might guess that I am a long time Replay TV user. But... been pretty much converted to NextPVR with Kodi for 2 years now. Only the wife still regularly uses Replay TV.
Replay TV had a nice "search" function called "Replay Zones". It allowed you to search for upcoming shows by large categories, like "Football" or any other major sport. Also allowed you to search for Movies by how many stars or genre or other general criteria. It came in very handy when you just wanted to see what movies were coming on TV in the next week or 2.
I have Searchlite installed and do use it from time to time, but it mainly works if you are looking for a specific show or movie. I don't see any way to just look for movies in general much less by genre.
Anyone know of a plugin that might do something near what I am describing?
Just upgraded my rather elderly Mygica Satbox Mini to a TT S2-4600 and the epg wont update overnight, if you try to do it manually it crashes right at the end of the scan (see attached logs), it does pull some info, but only the current and next item per channel.
If it's going to mean a lengthy wait for a fix (wife and child use it as well), Is there a (preferably free) EPG scraper that will do UK FTA satellite channels and Irish DVB-T2 channels ?
Hello
I'm from Italy have Next PVR 3.5.7 on Windows 10 (x64). It was working fine and then for no apparent reason (after a channels scan) the service "NPVR Recording Service" fail to start with the following message:
Code:
Unable to start the service NPVR Recording Service on the local computer
Error 1067: Unexpected end of the process
Running "NRecord.exe RUN" I've the following error message (here the full log):
Code:

When I try to start the service from the Start menu it shows the following error dialog:
Today I tried to set up Channel Groups. I tried several times. I checked my version of empty.db3 and found I had an old version. Downloaded NextPVR again and reinstalled. Tried setting up Channel Groups again. Failed again. Ran NextPVR.exe -updatedb Tried again. Success! I originally downloaded NextPVR 3.5.7 on 15/9/2015.
I had Channel Groups working okay in TVListings but wanted to also set them up under TV Guide.
Hi,
I have recently upgraded to 3.5.7 (and installed the recommended codex pack) and now get lots of artifacts in my recordings- everything worked fine before. People turn blockly and blocky ghosts appear when the scene changes rapidly. Watching files within NPVR is so bad I have had to resort to other players (such as VLC). These display the corruption, but carry on going.
I have looked for any settings to change recording settings, but there do not seem to be any, so I am at a bit of a loss. While recording the processor is not maxed out or anything, according to task manager
My system: AMD Athlon Dual Core 5050e 2.60GHz, running windows 7 home premium, 4GB of RAM
recording hardware (as reported by NPVR): Hauppage WinTV MOD7700 DVB-T dual tuner card, REALTEK 2831U_BDA (a cheap USB tuner)
I have attached the logs.
I've got an ATI TV WONDER HD 650 pci tuner card. Windows Media Center finds channels just fine, QAM and over the air, however a scan in NextPVR doesn't return any channels. What do I need to do to get my TV tuner up and running? All I did was install nextpvr and go to setup and scanned for channels. Are there patches or extra steps I need to go through for this tuner card? It seems odd that WMC can run it just fine, but nextpvr can't. Please help.
Thanks to the posters on this forum, you guys are great!!
Question about which direction I should go with my system/network setup. Here is what my network consists of. WD mycloud NAS 3tb, gigabit linksys router, hdhr atsc dual tuner, custom built pc (amd 760K, gtx750ti, 3tb along, (2) 1tb and ssd, winodws 8.1 MSI motherboard, starting as something different and has morphed into what I have now). The custom built pc has the npvr software and dumping files to nas/internal 3tb. Custom pc is used for light to medium gaming duties along with dvr duties...
Here is what I would like to do: use the custom pc as npvr server for kodi on tv attached to custom pc as well as act as a server for the additional 2 tvs in the house that aren't already connected for DVR purposes (considering raspberri pi 2's.)
My dillema stems from my msi motherboard (biggest question here) The only way I can have NPVR wakeup and suspend the pc is by setting wake up events on my MB to OS. This works great however it doesn't let me use WOL or wake via USB (rc6 mce remote). (greyed out in the windows software) If I use Bios setting for wake up events, I can use wol and wake via usb but than NPVR is unable to wake the pc for recordings. If I switch to a different motherboard can I get both of these working perfectly to do both? Is it even possible? Or do I need another windows pc to handle recording duty only?
I would like to spend the least amount of money on this as possible as I would need another hdhr and the cost of 2 raspberri pi's to make it work perfectly.
Looking for a setup guide for ScheduleDirect. Looked in Wiki under EPG but there were only two choices: OTA and XMLTV. Nothing in Walkthroughs either. Is there one?
