Thanks for this info!

by the way

how to check if VAAPI installed on system?

[mvallevand]

vainfo if installed does this. I saw it in the log

[110] [FFMPEG]: [AVHWDeviceContext @ 0x65cb980] No VA display found for device: /dev/dri/renderD128.
[110] [FFMPEG]: Device creation failed: -22.

I have found that NPVR is still using system ffmpeg not the one i have built
i have tried to edit config.xml 

<TranscodeExe>/home21/bh/source/apps/ffmpeg/dyn/bin/ffmpeg</TranscodeExe>

but still its using the default system build

No NextPVR on linux uses ffmpeg from the path, it is up to you have the path set appropriately. During pre release I asked sub to change this because I like using custom ffmpeg fro testing too.

I'm sure you will be able to figure it out. In any case your main issue is not being able to run sudo and then not being able to find libmediainfo. Run LD_DEBUG=libs or possibly other options and you will likely see the missing file. A custom ffmpeg is not a solution unless the ffmpeg team accepts the fix for this as a patch.

For the VAAPI issue check that /dev/dri/renderD128 exists and you have permssion to access it.

As for this where or not sub want's to update his ffmpeg option to include the parameter I suggested remains to be seen. I suggest you try it and provide feedback.

Thanks for this reply

since i dont have sudo permission i was very worry to spend hours build custom ffmpeg and extract all the required dependencies and at end BOOM its not the solution.

Anyway ..i just figured out ffmpeg itself is not the issue and a custom one is not required for a solution.

im not sure if i really need to use VAAPI .. i believe the system Env. is not ready for it as /dev/dri/renderD128 is NOT exists regarding to below result:

bh@acid:~/source/homebrew/lib$ ls -l /dev/dri

You have new mail in /var/mail/bh

also i have tested your custom argument and it works for playback recordings ..THANKS ALOT!

EDIT: Mediainfo installed properly in system but seems NPVR looking for missing library in ./NPVR/runtimes

This thread began with my comment that many user aren't using the web app as their primary player for recording playback and I suspect even fewer use it for in progress recording playback. I will leave the rest of this post for sub.

This is a sample recording showing the repeat scenes issue caused by watching channel while in-process recording ...tested with web app and kodi plugin

Note: please keep watch the whole video to clearly notice the problem

Edit: i would suggest either fix the issue or lockout watch now if channel in-process recording and advise to play recording instead

[mvallevand]

Your file does lose sync at several places. Whether that is a NextPVR issue or not would need to be confirmed with logs by sub. It could be your provider handling multiple streams too.

Most users won't be stressing system and your need for trancoding is a special case. You certainly can't disable watch now and recordings.

whenever I do watch live while recording inprocess this issues happens
when recording closed I can watch back normally or I have to wait for recording completion then I can watch with no issues
