no tuner available

[brucewol]

I'm a new user to nextpvr and so far struggling to get the basics working. I'm on windows 10 Pro 1903. Just installed NPVRSetup_4_2_4_190307. I;ve attached a zip of the log files. For my epg, I'm using schedulesdirect which seems to partial work - i only got info for the first channel. haven't looked into that yet.

My problem is that i can't record. I can view a channel but i get no tuner available when trying to do a record. Searched the forum but posts relating to this problem seemed to cover situations that were more complicated then what i have.

Try starting the recording service...

thanks, i've tried that as well as rebooting. anyway, went back and started service and confirmed in windows that the nvpr recording service is running. my tv box is a usb connected haupauge 1950 which is a single tuner if that makes any difference

Use Quick Record for testing ... it's less complicated inside NextPVR so it is easier to diagnose problems.

In NextPVR Settings --> Channels ... Does it show one (or more) sources for the channel that you are trying to record? http://www.nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php?...n.Channels

thanks for the quick reply. i've attached settings channel listing and it doesn't appear there is more than 1 source but the column headings are blank, so i'm not sure

some progress and some back sliding.

on the epg, i realize i need to do it for each channel. did that and it worked for some but not all. will look at that once i can get watch and record working.

watch is also now broken. get unable to find capture device. can't get a screen capture because it only lasts a few seconds and then returns to the channel listing. on another computer i had been using the haupauge 1950 with beyondtv to both watch and record so i know the 1950 is good.

is there a simple utility that i can use to verify audio and video from the 1950. for beyond tv, i was able to use hcwSigmon but i first needed to set the channel in BYTV.

right now my inexperience with next pvr and the possibility of too many errors makes it difficult for the to sort things out

SOLVED - under my device I had 4 types - ASTC which I want, QAM, Analog, and IPTV. They were all listed a present and enabled. So I deleted the last 3 leaving me just ATSC. And it worked. What gave me a glue was looking at NRecode.log. Is saw this

9-09-14 10:40:24.217 [DEBUG][39] checking: IPTV Device
2019-09-14 10:40:24.217 [DEBUG][39] enabled and present
2019-09-14 10:40:24.217 [DEBUG][39] does not have channel

I went back into devices to get info to write this reply and saw that NextPVR had added the 3 types i deleted back in but astc is now last and it still works. I'll disable the 3 types I don't want. I'll need to research this a bit further to understand. IPTV mifght be of use to me but the wiki says it was removed in v.2.5.9

thanks all for the quick replies. provided me with some glues that made my debugging a lot more rapid,
