I'm fairly sure it's in the data folder or is there a different one it should be in.

I also needed to put ffmpeg into C:\Program Files\NextPVR. It's all working now, thanks for your help. Is there a way for the Live TV Buffering to be permanent and not depend on a client pausing? So as soon as you open a live tv page you'd start at the current content but you'd always have the option to rewind a few minutes.

Can you post the extra again? Sub told me that for ffmpeg in Windows it would use the version in the Other folder.
The buffering should start on playback but sub defaults to a fairly short buffer of 20 minutes. That can be changed on Settings->General as explained on the wiki. It won't buffer before you press play of course. Martin (2023-06-06, 11:37 AM)mvallevand Wrote: Can you post the extra again? Sub told me that for ffmpeg in Windows it would use the version in the Other folder. Ffmpeg was in the other folder. When things weren't working I checked the logs and ffmpeg couldn't be found in the NextPVR root folder so I put it there. Not quite sure what you'd like me to post, but elaborate and I'd be happy to. The feature I'd love is for it to always buffer in the background before any viewer hits pause or even opens any player. Like a rolling background recording ready to rewind to when someone opens the player. The usecase would be for live broadcasts that a user missed the first 5 min of but didn't plan to record.

Just copy the text into the post again so I can check with sub the proper syntax for Windows. On other platforms ffmpeg is in the path.
No NextPVR doesn't buffer like that. Perhaps with one channel that works for you but with 200+ it doesn't make sense. I know that a catch-up feature is available from some providers but they are recording for many users so the tuners and performance overhead are not a concern. Perhaps if you have a commercial or research requirement for this you can PM sub and discuss it further. Martin

I'd looked into it in the past, but didn't seem worth it to tie up tuners, or offer it for a such a small subset of channels. I also experimented with continually recording all the NZ freeview channels, and keeping like 3 days of history at all times. It was pretty hard on the machine's disk. It was a pretty niche feature that didn't seem worth fleshing out into a real solution.
