On Freesat - just going by this little snippet of your log:

2018-08-26 17:14:29.665 [DEBUG][18] Asking NDigitalHost to start: LIVE&C:\Users\Public\Videos\live-ITV Border-13818.ts
2018-08-26 17:14:34.922 [DEBUG][18] Live TV handle: 0x150001
2018-08-26 17:14:47.621 [DEBUG][17] Renew lease ok (0x150001)
2018-08-26 17:15:12.824 [ERROR][9] Live stream expired without 15 second renewal. (

It basically looks like it started the stream ok, but your front end took a very long time to renew the lease. It should do it every 10 seconds or so. Yours took too long at about 25 seconds.

Unfortunately you'd restarted the frontend several times since that happened, so there is no longer a npvr.log covering the what happened with the front end for that attempt.

Honestly, they're pretty much all non-legit, with a few exceptions (like here in NZ where I use the broadcasters official online freeview streams, plus a few other international news channels etc). The real legit paid services are locked down, and not accessible in 3rd party software like Kodi/VLC/NextPVR etc.

owe ok, it seams a shame that is the case i bought a year membership . hopefully, this should change in the future. when you say the real legit paid services are lock down your meaning sky, virgin subcriptions ect via there own boxs ?

Yeah, that type of service.

User's in the US can now get some legit premium IPTV services through the SiliconDust Premium-TV service, and that is usable in NextPVR.

ok, so really npvr is best for free sat and free view. it would be good if you could integrate Netflix and amazon prim into npvr. i have a hd home run box that receive cable. would that be a good alternative ? to use with npvr

[sub]

was there any thing in my logs to suggest why my free sat channels are nor working properly ?

See post #11.

If you can post logs from immediately after the issue occurred, then I might be able to tell you more.

The world is changing.... Honestly, these days, I'd just use these as other apps on the same device. ie, if you were using Android TV or Apple TV, then I'd install the NextPVR app for live tv and recording stuff, and use the likes of Netflix/Amazon for on demand.

Ultimately those types of services are well locked down, and there would be no real benefit of trying to put a huge amount of effort trying to integrate their stream lists into NextPVR.

I don't consider that true IPTV since it requires a newer HDHR as a proxy.
