Has anyone else had the problem where the server sometimes sleeps if a recording is left paused on X-NEWA for a few minutes. It doesn't seem to happen if the client boots and wakes the server and just left in that state.
When the server was running Vista I think it also sometimes went to sleep during playback so I used a utility called SmartPower which prevented server sleep if either of my OpenElec/X-NEWA clients were on line. This worked well until I upgraded to Windows 8 recently and I often found the server awake long after it should have slept because SmartPower thought Windows was "busy" so prevented sleep. Windows 8/10 seem to get lots of complaints about them running high disk or processor usage for no obvious reason!

One of the things I love most about WMC is how it will display additional episodes to play later on, and also it will show Cast & Crew information, it will even show what other movies an actor/actress has played in. That is simply a wonderful, wonderful feature. I would love to see that added in NextPVR.
Given that WMC is dieing a slow painful death, users with cable companies that insist on DRM protection are limited to Windows 8.1 or lower. (I'm actually trapped on Windows 7 unless I upgrade to Windows 10.) However, Windows 10 already probably has all the software needed to support recording and playback of DRM content. Any chance of NextPVR allowing such recording and playback as long as the drivers and codecs are already installed? That's Mozilla's policy. Or are NextPVR's developers so against DRM they won't help at all?
I wish i could select the drive it goes to for manual recordings!
They are all forced to use main drive to record..which is a problem for me with long sporting events, which sometimes need manual recordings because of last minute changes in scheduling. Archive is not an option since they don't stay around long and are often watched in progress...
Also, i wish manual recordings were treated more like normal recordings in that it would make a dir w same name as title of man rec. and just put it in there, just like a normal epg recording, since we can edit title name...not sure what the conflict is, why a need for separate 'manual recordings' dir..
Might there be an option to remove the "Are you sure" prompt, each time a recording is deleted? It seems a little redundant to confirm a deletion, after each request. Maybe sending deleted recordings to the recycle bin might be a better option?
I don't believe this is supported with NextPVR. I don't even think there's a PVR software available which supports it, so I think it would be a first for NextPVR if this functionality was implemented! MediaPortal say they can't implement it. My current PVR supports it and it's great.
With AR, the PVR fires up 15 minutes before the expected programme start time and looks for the start marker. When the marker arrives the recording starts, and ends when the marker for the next programme arrives. This allows for big (but not infinite) shifts in a programme time, say a live event is running late, if you are recording the live event the recording will be extended as long as required, or if you want to record a subsequent programme the recording will be delayed as long as required.
New to NextPRV here and was hoping to solicit a little help with a problem that I'm having.
On my client PC, when watching a show that is broadcasting in SD, the show will freeze after ~ 7-10 seconds. Seems to happen on multiple stations - the trigger is a SD broadcast.
I've waiting several minutes but the show never resumes. NextPVR is still responsive and I'm able to return to the menu/guide after the show freezes.
If I set the show to record, and then play it on the client (during or after recording) the show plays OK. Also, the same SD show works fine if I stream said show via web/VLC to the client.
Note that any shows broadcasting in HD seem to play fine at the client.
The server doesn't seem to have the same problem and will play HD & SD shows just fine.
Client and Server are both running Windows 10 and using the unlocked SAF v6.3.1 decoders.
I'm using a pair of HDHomeruns model HDHR-US.
All connected via Ethernet connections.
A Zip copy of the Log directory is attached.
Any help/suggestions/thoughts greatly appreciated!
