New user support question

[sloethen]

I am a new user of nextpvr, having dropped Windows Media Center (Windows 10 does not support it)

I am having audio issues. Video is working, but I get no audio. I assume it is codec related, either in what I have loaded, or what I have selected.

config is such.

Windows 10 pro, tuners are silicondust HDHomeRun's (2 of them)

Channels are all found and available, but no matter what I select as a tuner, I am met with silence. Is there anyone out there that can help me toward a solution? btw, the HDView app that comes with the tuners works, both audio and video. video is not as good quality, and the audio and video seem to drift a bit over time (I mean over hours).

Yep, you're right it'll probably be codec related.

Since you're in the USA, it's probably a missing AC3 decoder. Try installing AC3Filter or the LAV decoders. Remember to go into the Settings->Decoders screen to select the AC3 decoder you've installed. .

My next challenge is the guide. Any secret to get it to download the tv guide?

the settings say it will update at 2:36 am. I will take a look in the morning.

After scanning for digital channels, the channels defaults to getting their listings from the digital broadcast. This is great in lots of countries, and can give you up to a couple of weeks of listings. Unfortunately though, in North America the broadcast EPG is next to useless. ie, they give you few hours of listings on ATSC via antenna, and nothing from digital cable.

As a result, all users in that part of the world either switch their EPG to Schedules Direct or xmltv (mc2xml).
