Looks like it's time to play wack a mole. I suggest you get in contact with the developer and see if the problem can be fixed.

Or give XML TV Listings a look: https://www.xmltvlistings.com/. The new kid on the block.

They offer monthly, quarterly and yearly subscriptions. Also a 14-day free trial.

Ok, Schedule Direct is working now and I have multiple days showing up in the guide. BUT, now there is no video and audio for live TV. I've tried all kinds of different decoders, but nothing seems to work. I get one thing working, then something else goes wrong. Its like owning an old Harley Davidson having to work on it all the time. I'm taking a break from trouble shooting and just use the sucky HDHOMERUN DVR app.

That will most likely come down to the audio video decoders you've chosen. What MPEG2 and AC3 decoders do you have selected, and what options do you have available?

You can also get this behaviour when the Windows Firewall is blocking data from the HDHR from getting to NextPVR, so maybe try temporarily turning it off to determine if that is your problem.

Right now I am not sure why but clicking Update EPG button in NextPVR>Settings>Channels does not populate the epg.xml file.
You can manually run UpdateEPG.bat or setup a timer to run it to generate the epg.xml file.

Shouldn't the epg.xml file be named tvguide.xml for NPVR? Not sure if that makes a difference or not for anything.

Also in step #7 you have "you should not see a file labeled epg.xml. If not, go back to step #5". Shouldn't it be "you should see a file labeled epg.xml. If not, go back to step #5"

If you haven't broken it at least once, you're not doing it right. :eek:

You can call it whatever you like. When you're setting a channel to use xmltv, you browse and select the .xml file to use.

Booya, the Windows 10 Firewall was it. However, when I go to the list of apps to allow communication through the firewall, I can't find NPVR. I see a bunch of HDHR items that are checked off. What other app/item do I check off? Or, what app do I add to the list to check off to allow? Thanks

Found it. It is NRECORD.exe under the Programs NPVR folder. Thanks for your help.

I sent a message to the developer, and a new version of the program has been uploaded to the zap2xml site which is supposed to skip problem episodes. I have it running right now, and am hopeful that it works for everybody.

EDIT: Works well now - it's run 2 times, and no issues.
