Issue: Kodi unable to play live tv through NextPVR backend
Equipment: HTPC with Kodi (ver. 17.5) and NextPVR (ver 4.2.2) on same machine. Tuner is a Hauppauge HDPVR 1212 connected via TIVO
Up until recently I had the above equipment working through KODI to watch cable channels from cable-card equipped TIVO via the Hauppauge 1212 tuner. I recently cut the cord (axed Comcast Cable) so in doing so I reset the Tivo Roamio for Over theAir channels (OTA ânote this uses sub channels which maybe be an issue). At this time I also removed a Hauppauge PCI card tuner from the HTPC that worked and was identified under NPVR settings along with the Hauppauge HDPVR 1212. I removed the PCI tuner card because I used the antenna feed from that to feed the TIVO. I also updated NPVR to version 4.2.2 (not sure if this may have caused any issues)
After the removal of the PCI Tuner Card and the upgrade of NPVR, I could not get KODI to start the NPVR tuner to start in LIVE TV (spinning and then states tuner unavailable). I did not touch any setting or connections as it relates to the Hauppauge 1212. In trying to troubleshoot, I read that subchannels maybe an issue, but as I recall the PCI tuner when installed used OTA subchannels and that worked?
In troubleshooting to eliminate the Hauppauge 1212 being the issue, I was able to see a live TV feed via the Arcsoft Total Media Extreme software that came with the device. So I know the tuner is working.
As to the NextPVR backend âI was never able to play live tv (black screen) though NPVR it -says I needed a different MPEG2 decoder (played around with different decoders-no luck) using the HDPVR 1212. It did work with the PCI tuner. I did not use NPVR for video purposes because KODI must have had the proper decoders because live tv worked in KODI through NPVR using the Hauppauge 1212.
Using http://127.0.0.1:8866 I was able to see the NPVR page-so it is not a networking issue?
I have posted the KODI log, if anyone can help identify the issues? Thanks
