Can't view programs from TV listing

[Dick B]

Can not view programs from the Menu,TV Guide. Can record programs from the Menu,TV guide and then watch the recordering.
Have reinstalled NextPVR several times from scratch, but still unable to view TV Guide programs without first recording them.
Log attached.

I know you have multiple instances, perhaps that is the source of your many problems. The logs show

2022-09-17 13:13:35.324 [ERROR][18] 804 Tuner In Use

You HDHR logs would show what device is streaming that channel. Live TV is in opposite priority to Recordings.

Consider one server with clients.

Would that allow me to still have 3 computers, with each capable of watching a different program?

Yes you still would share the same HDHR, but one PC controls it. In theory you can even share the same tuner when watching or recording the same channel (and avoid that in use error)

Assuming you want to use a Windows PC then the client you want it called nlite and the one you want to try is https://www.nextpvr.com/client.zip, it doesn't need NextPVR installed.

Would I uninstall NextPVR on all 3 computers and then install nlite on all three computers?

You would need one "master" server running but for now you can stop and disable the recording service on the PC's with nlite. You can uninstall if it works out for you. If you have multiple servers running nlite needs configuration to find the "right" one.

I stopped viewing the program on the one computer that was viewing a program, and then the others started working.

Correction to the last post, when any one of the 3 computers is watching a program, the other 2 are not able to view a program.
I'll see if I can figure out how to use nlite.

I'll see if I can figure out how to use nlite.

Download https://nextpvr.com/client.zip and extract it somewhere.

Running Nlite.exe is usually enough for it to detect the server and connect. If it's not detecting it, or you have multiple servers on your network, you can connect to a specific server with:

nlite.exe -server:192.168.1.17:8866:0000

When I run Nlite I get a "No NextPVR servers were detected on the network"
The thing I can't understand is that I have been using NextPVR for about 8 or 10 years and have always been able to run several computers at the same time.
But just today I have this problem where whenever one computer is running, the others are locked out. Can you think of anything that I might try to get back to where
I was with all computers capable of running at the same time. I am using a router and 2 HDHome Run units with a total of 6 channels.
