Streaming failed. (Transcoder exited.)

[twurstt@gmail.com]

Hi,
I'm new to NextPVR, just transitioning from Windows Media Center. I've been  trying to work through setup challenges, but have hit a brick wall. The EPG is updating and OTA channels are set, I've installed the LAV codecs and my USB tuner (WinTV HVR-950)  is seen. But, clicking on programs from the Guide to watch live, and attempting to schedule record a show are failing. In particular the live watching fails with the "Streaming failed. (Transcoder exited.)" error message. Logs are attached. Thanks for any suggestions for things I can try.

Did you try playing with the traditional client Nextpvr.exe?

Marvin,
I did, but with the same result. I saw something about specifying a C:\TV and C:\TV2 directory for the Live TV Buffer and Recording directories. I had been specifying a network drive (not local). With that change, it seems to be working now. It's a relatively small drive, so I'll need to figure out how to get it to work on a bigger one, if the network drive was the problem. In any case, I've made headway. Thanks for your suggestion.

Using a NAS typically means you need to run the service as a user for simplest setup or even better if you can run with a password just use the IP share notation
