Trying my PhotoFilter plugin in the (X-Newa) web client I have run into a few issues.

I use a separate thread to load the photo "grid" so I can show a "Loading" message since it might take a while. This is taking a much longer time in the web client only when using a separate thread. For example, loading and displaying 40 photos using the separate thread takes around 1 second in NPVR on the PC but in the web client it takes around 8 seconds. If I modify the plugin to not use a separate thread, the web client loads and displays in about 1 second as expected. Any idea why the delay in the web client only with a separate thread?

The other problem is when I'm displaying a photo full screen, the date/time is not being obscured in the web client like it is on the PC. I am using the "block-extras" UIElement.

With a single-tuner DVB-T2 decoder, should NPVR be able to schedule two simultaneous recordings on different channels which are on the same multiplex? I imagine it's possible because there's a page under Recordings for Conflicts, for the case where the programmes are on different muxes and therefore need different tuners.

I get an Unhandled Exception "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error if I try to set up a Quick Record or when pressing OK on a normal Record if another recording is scheduled for an overlapping time, which sounds like something isn't failing gracefully :-)

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Looking at the manual http://www.nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Manual.NTray it seems that the "n" icon in the system tray should do something - probably it should have a right-click option to bring up a menu with Status, Start N-PVR, Restart Service. However on my Win 7 PC it does not respond to any actions (left-click, right-click, double-click) although the icon does appear when the PC is rebooted, so it's being auto-started.

Is there something I've done wrong during installation? Is there a log file which would give a reason why the status icon is having no effect?

It would be nice if the icon at least changed colour to a red disc when a recording is being made and then displayed a tooltip confirming the name of the programme being recorded - like Windows Media Centre does. Maybe this is how it is supposed to behave...

I've installed Next PVR 3.5.7 on Window 7. I live in the UK.

I have two tuners, one DVB-T only (made by Hauppauge) and one DVB-T/T2 (made by PCTV). With either one or the other of these devices plugged in (but not with both plugged in at the same time) I've done a scan, having defined the country and transmitter.

As far as I can see, all the expected channels are being found - obviously the DVB-T/T2 decoder finds more channels because it can see the HD channels.

But it seems as if the list of channels has some LCNs allocated at random, instead of using the standard LCNs that are published in listings magazines etc (and which Windows Media Centre uses). Some channel numbers are duplicated (ie two different channels, as identified by name, have the same channel number), and a few (eg Talking Pictures TV) have the wrong LCN (132 instead of 81 which it should be).

I could go through and edit all the LCNs, but this would be very tedious and may well get reset if I re-scan at some stage.

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

I've attached an XML file (zipped) of the channel list Settings | Devices | (select the tuner) | Export Channels. Duplication occurs at 61 (both Spike and True Entertainment), 62 (BT Showcase and ITV4+1), 66 (CITV and CBS Reality), 101 (BBC One HD and Gems TV) etc. The correct list of LCNs is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_di...s_%28UK%29.

Record something with NPVR and look in C:/users/public/public videos and the recording will be there in a sub folder with its name. Go record something with a different device and make a folder in the same place and copy the new video there.
Now when you run NPVR and look at menu item "recordings" what was recorded with NPVR shows but not what you copied there from another drive. You have to go to "videos" and through the different folders to get to the show recorded somewhere else. So what does NPVR do to tell it where what it recorded is located? Can something be done to the other recording to make it show up under "recordings?" It would be less work than having to run through all the other folders to get to the recording done some where else.

I would like to make my local news appear in my Kodi tv listings, but I can't figure out how to do it. Here's the log for the show:

For quite a few months the tuner status in the logs on my NextPVR server has always read all zeros for all tuners I have tried even though the recordings made are good and play normally. The same happens on a couple of test servers I tried.

I have just bought a new DVB-T2 and the status info would have been helpful while setting it up.

This is my setup. I have NextPVR installed on a dedicated computer in my upstairs closet. I have two HDHomeRun Connect network tuners, total of four tuners. I can receive about 22 channels but I only watch about 12 or so as the rest are infomercial and public access channels. I then have three other computers running Kodi that I watch TV on. Two are wired (1GB) one is wireless N (with 112MB avg rate). Out of the major networks, the ABC station and their two side channels have an issue where they digitize or pixelate a lot. The other channels are fine for the most part. Should I try adjusting the decoders inside NextPVR to see if it has an impact. It does it on all three computers. All are running Windows 8 64 bit. What else could I try to resolve this issue since it's only the one station (3 channels)

Hello someone can help me getting this work? In the confluence skin and mimic skin it work but with amber wich i use for the plexmbc addon the preference does not show up correctly.

I have been trying for a few days to get a functional fast forward as opposed to skipping forward some number of seconds.
Even when I change FF/RW behaviour to fast play, it still is skipping. Does NextPVR not really do FF? Does it just skip forward and back?
