No listings in OTA EPG

[computerworm110]

Hi everyone,



I'm trying different PVR apps to see which one I like best. I installed NextPVR yesterday on Linux Mint 20, and my TV tuner is a Hauppauge WinTV-dualHD. My problem is that I've updated the OTA EPG several times, and it still does not have any listings. I've tried rebooting, and increasing the seconds per frequency, first to 120, then 180, then 300. I also looked at the logs, and I didn't see anything remarkable, but then I also don't really know what to look for. I don't think my tuner is the problem, because all the other TV software I've used does the job in about 5-10 minutes for all the frequencies, and I get actual listings when it's finished. The other ones I've used are MythTV, Kaffeine, and the official Hauppauge WinTV app (the WinTV app is Windows 10 only). I know I can just pay a few dollars to get listings from Schedules Direct, but I don't want to waste money doing that, when the over-the-air listings are sufficient for my needs, if only they would work. I know I could also go back to using one of the other apps I named, but I want to give NextPVR a fair shot too, and I believe that this issue is fixable, but I'm just missing something. I will greatly appreciate any help you all can give me.

I guess you scanned on adapter1 not adapter0 and you need to fix things before going on.

- restart the server sudo service nextpvr-server restart
- in Settings->Devices open adapter0 and use the trashcan to delete all the channels from it.
- delete /var/opt/nextpvr/adapter0-ATSC-channels.conf if it exists at this point.
- open adapter0 and when it asks to copy accept that option.

After that try your scan and repost the logs after the scan, but be prepared to wait.

Okay, I'll try that and post an update in the next 2 hours. Thank you for taking the time to help me.

Don't thank me I am not sure if I am wasting your time after reading this post https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...#pid563422

At least you will have a better setup and suggest you try the SD trial anyway.

I read the post you linked, and that's a real bummer. Nonetheless, I did the steps you suggested earlier, and have enclosed some new logs. If you have no more suggestions after looking at them, then I'll try the Schedules Direct free trial. If I decide to not pay for Schedules Direct, I'll probably just settle on MythTV. Thanks for trying to help.
