Ceton Infinitv4, Windows 10

It took me a while but I see you are saying. The request and the display don't line up.

Code:

2020-03-03 06:31:41.459    [DEBUG][13]    Running: cmd /c ""C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data\scripts\opendct.bat" 709 "DCT-Ceton InfiniTV PCIe (00-80-9f-40) Tuner 1" 7823"

NextPVR does seem to be constantly mapping Tuner 1 onto all the device I that is something sub needs to look at. I see the same thing here in my test world. It is related to when you copy the channel mapping NextPVR also copies the extra cmd line. If your create new mapping for all devices you should be ok but the guide will be a pain.

Your logs look much better than last night and tuner 1 is being used as requested and SageTV was working too. Was playback ok in the browser?

NextPVR does seem to be constantly mapping Tuner 1 onto the last device oid (when you had all devices it mapped to device 6) and I that is something sub needs to look at.    I see the same thing here in my test world.

Yup playback was very smooth even with both playing at the same time. I will try and record two channels at the same time in NPVR and see what happens. My guess is just one will record since it seems it is only calling tuner 6. I'll keep everyone posted. I am using NPVR as a backend for emby so I can try an record from work as a test.

[mvallevand]

Great. Yes it likely will only record one tuner because the database tuning rows are all the same. If you want to zip and upload your database I can probably fix it so you can test multiple playback and recording.

Just checked on the quick test record I did via emby. Neither channel recorded, and it will not let me play a live channel. I will check the logs tonight when I get home, but I think I will find that tuner 6 got reserved or something trying to do two channels at once. Just for haha's I checked sage from here and that still plays.

Will upload logs when I get home.

To get around the copy issue, your best bet is to delete tuners 2-6 from NextPVR and then add each one back but DO NOT copy the EPG when prompted. Instead uou will need to set each one up from the SD lineup. After that you can auto merge them from Settings->Channel->Advanced Tools->Auto Merge

I just checked and NPVR thought it was recording 1 channel all this time but the recording is 0 bytes.

I can try the copy bypass issue , but if I remember correctly, when I first set it up using your post #4, I did just tuner #1 and didn't even do the other tuners. That was when I noticed and you later confirmed it was trying to make a tuner other than #1 work. tuner 1 was 7823 and tuner 6 was 7824. 7819 is the lowest number and that is tuner 5. I would have to go back and check but I think you had me setup tuner 5 to just test.

Reading your other post this appears a problem in NPVR not opendct correct?

Correct. Earlier we were looking that the contents of the extras files. Yesterday you helped identify that when you copy tuners, NextPVR doesn't actually use the contents of the extra files, so they all look alike. Creating them individually and merging should work.

Okay I will give it a shot. I am still puzzled why when I first tried just one tuner (that being tuner #1), and the others were not even setup it kept trying a different tuner other than the one I setup.

[mvallevand]

When you copy a tuner it would be automatically setup.

Here is something interesting. I just deleted all the channel listings for tuners 2-6. Tried tuning a channel, which worked fine. Went back to settings on the device screen. Tuner 1 which I did not change still shows 72 channels. Tuner 6 which I had cleared shows one channel, the one I just tuned. Should that happen?
