HI Jeff there is a bug in the posted script which I only noticed while away on vacation so there is no way it will work. I get back to cold and lots of snow tomorrow and will update it with more logging. If the you can't install the extra doesn't work I'd expect you don't have python 3 installed

Welcome, Jeff.

Hang in there. Martin is super responsive and will help you get this working quickly once he's back home. You just happened to hit at a bad time for him. (Well, good time for him since he's on vacation, but bad time for us to get support from him. )

Also, welcome as another Twin Cities user of NextPVR. Where do you live in Minneapolis? I'm in St. Paul on the Eastside.

Yes, I do have Python 3 installed from python.org (v3.81).

I'm an IT security guy, so I know my way around a computer and I also dabble in Python for writing the occasional exploit.

Unfortunately, my day job keeps me really busy and I really do not have a ton of free time nor the patience to go through other people's work and debug.  Never mind the fact that the whole PVR/TV thing was something I never got into deep enough to truly understand it beyond the basics of how it is implemented.  So I rely on people like you and others to actually implement it.

Sorry to disappoint you jbhall256 we don't even Cable Card in Canada so I have to depend on user testing.  My testing is extrapolated from HDHR in OpenDCT but because sub doesn't support OTA ATSC  tuning in extras a bug slipped through.

Bugs happen as we are all human. Looking forward to a fix is all.

I have updated post #4 with a new file to be unzipped in the scripts folders. Logging was already there.

@jbhall56 since you aren't seeing any extras file have you successfully run steps 5, 6 and 7 to install it.

You are still using tuner 1 not 5 which  we discussed earlier

Okay did a fresh install, using your new zip file. No luck.

That opendct.log file is zero bytes and I'm not sure if it is the one I create (I will change my name and update the bat file) or the one for OpenDCT

If you run

Code:

cmd /c ""C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data\scripts\opendct.bat" 709 "DCT-Ceton InfiniTV PCIe (00-80-9f-40) Tuner 1" 7823" |  "C:\Program Files\NextPVR\Other\ffmpeg.exe" -i pipe: -codec copy -y videolog.ts

Does videolog.ts get created and if not do you see any error messages?

I probably should see a copy of your opendct.properties file to see if there a a configuration difference.

Hi Martin,
As you recall I am already using Opendct with Sage.
to test this I stopped and disabled the sage service to make sure it wasn't trying to use opendct at the same time.
I completely uninstalled all of NPVR5 and deleted the files, rebooted the computer and reinstalled from scratch.
Setup NPVR5 and  ran through the steps installing the "extra tuners". All 6 tuners showed up. Did a channel scan and everything is there.
tried tuning 709 in NPVR, same failed to stream message.
Ran your code above in a command prompt window.
Get a message 3 times
" The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process."
Here are some logs that may help. I included the wrapper from OpenDCT.
Thanks for all your help.
