I run NPVR on a Desktop PC that I mainly use for video editing and a PVR used for watching video and TV.
I updated both machines yesterday to v4.0.4 (170723) and find that the Desktop (Windows 10 Pro x64 v1703 build 15063.483, Intel i7-4790K with 16 GB RAM and Samsung 840 EVO 250 GB for OS, plus various HDD's for storage. 2 x TBS 6281 DVB-T2/T Tuner cards and one TBS 6891 DVB-S/S2 card) works just fine!
The new NextPVR Reader/Demux component has really reduced the time taken to lock onto a channel signal and play a TV program in about 2 seconds for the first channel then about one second when changing channels, MPEG2 Video uses Cyberlink Video/SP Decoder and H.264 Video uses Cyberlink Video Decoder (PDVD13).
But the PVR will not work with the new NextPVR Reader/Demux component!!
The PVR (Windows 10 Home x64 build 15063, AMD FX-4100 Quad-Core, 8 GB RAM, Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB for OS, plus various HDD's for storage. one Hauppauge Win-TV-Nova-TD-500 DVB-T Tuner card and one TBS 6891 DVB-S/S2 card) takes 8 or 9 seconds to log onto a live TV channel plays about half a second of picture then there is only a black screen with audio playing. I have tried this with MPEG2 Video Cyberlink Video/SP Decoder and H.264 Video Cyberlink Video Decoder (PDVD13) and also LAV Decoders for both video types nothing seems to work.
If I go back to 'Use legacy NPVR TS Reader and Microsoft Demultiplexer' then it works as normal but the time taken to pickup and play a TV signal is back to 8/9 seconds and changing channel is also very slow (probably as it was before v4.0.4.
I don't really understand why one installation works and the other does not??
It cannot be the difference in TV tuner cards make as I disabled all the cards on both machines except the TBS 6891 DVB-S/S2 cards which are both the same and I still get the same result!
Attached logs from both Desktop that works OK and PVR which fails..
