Cannot add my channelsdvr m3u

[hdpvr-doug8796]

On the Settings->Transcoder page make sure "Avoid transcoding where possible (for better performance)" is set  I don't know if there might be an issue when nvenc encoding is set try setting that to CPU. 

CBS-Greenbay was not transcoding even to the browser so again it is not every channel.  For channels that transcode maybe take your URL from the m3u file and let us know what these show.

curl -I URL

and

curl URL

I figured out what was going on. Its running from other pc, but I am trying to run stuff on it to make it work without the other pc using nextpvr. can two nextpvr talk to each other? the chrome capture uses 5589 port.
The non-channels m3u looks like this

#EXTINF:-1 channel-id="ESPN",ESPNHD
chrome://192.168.68.56:5589/stream?url=https://watch.spectrum.net/livetv?tmsid=32645

However, it wont' connect to 5589 on other pc even after trying port forward on other pc int/ext 5589 and my pc 5589/ext 5590.  I am not sure what to do, but I figured it isnt nextpvr or channels.  Using channels system (which requires 8 dollars a month - it uses another port but downsamples for some reason).


#EXTINF:-1 channel-id="1037" tvg-id="1037" tvg-chno="1037" tvg-logo="https://tmsimg.fancybits.co/assets/s32645_h3_aa.png?w=360&h=270" tvc-guide-stationid="32645" tvg-name="ESPNHD" group-title="HD",ESPNHD

Other pc where it worked - Can I connect 2 nextpvr in same network together?

OK So I tested android yauiclient and the nextpvr android app and they both dont work. Only yaui client for pc works with chrome capture (that isnt directly connected to channels - and is a standalone docker

I didnt want to blow up the forum (forgive my grammar it's late). Check newlogs to see the fails.  Can we get yauiclient for android to work like the pc does?  See above it uses google to basically load the url to pass through to chrome capture so its a bit odd.

Yauiclient works well with chrome capture but npvr can't handle it and neither can the android app 

[mvallevand]

Since you continue to ignore my requests to get the logs from the main Settings page on the NextPVR web server I should probably ignore your posts since your logs don't contain the log that I need to see. 

- I do see the URL you are sending has a non standard protocol  in your URL  "chrome://"  NextPVR and FFmpeg won't know the use that.  Maybe try changing chrome:// to http:// and if not you will have to modify node.js to handle it.

- Don't try and use many clients it just uses confuses things, seems like yauiclient is a good choice until things work. 

- From the logs sub's Android app isn't connecting well once things work I suggest trying uidroid on Android once things work and then you can open another post to have sub look at the that.

- Another URL your posted is likely incomplete since the question mark normally means more parameters will follow.  On the Emby forum I saw ?format=ts

Code:

http://192.168.68.56:8089/devices/ANY/channels/1037/hls/master.m3u8?

- Earlier I also asked for the curl and curl -I output and you should give it (with the complete URL)  Because of the ? on Windows your will need quotes around the URL ie  These could just be binary

Code:

curl "http://192.168.68.56:8089/devices/ANY/channels/1037/hls/master.m3u8"

curl "http://192.168.68.56:8089/devices/ANY/channels/1037/hls/master.m3u8?format=ts"

In another post you posted that that you felt I was "bitter"  I am just wanting you to follow instructions and use the tools that are available to you, especially try things on your own as much as you can. Then I can answer your question why is NextPVR transcoding.  I suspect we eventually will find the audio is opus, that was my experience.  NextPVR is not really html5 compatible, so as I noted it only wants H264 video and AAC audio before passing the file to FFmpeg.  Normally I don't try help much with user scripts but sub and I have had some discussion on how chrome-capture might help NextPVR users and I'd like to see if we can get this working, the solution might help others

I'll run the curls, the reason I didn't is I essentially found that the reason it wasn't playing in full quality is that its on another machine and not using the right port The 5589 port is the node server, but the 8089 is channels, as shown in the logs, it doesn't need channelsserver, but as said: Yauiclient works fine on PC but android won't work as well as any other clients.. As said it works on the host computer but can't run from another PC to node. I tried opening the port. Http worked, not chrome . As said it doesn't need channels. I was able to make m3u work. I will run curl and break down how the script format works (without channels)

I ran the piggyback 8089 chrome capture and it was low quality on media players as well. So something to do with it not being directly playing on the same machine (and the port not working)

But I will run the curls if it truly helps.  Like I said, sorry I didn't but I felt I kind of isolated the issue and it wasn't NextPVR's fault.

You guys can test here

https://github.com/fancybits/chrome-capt...r-channels

You can use this url to test out , or some other site with video. I have created a crude update for this that works with many other websites using chatgpt - you guys know code way more obviously, so I would love to contribute to you guys to make it work in nextpvr.

To create an m3u, just make your own:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1 channel-id="MWNetwork",MWNetwork
http://192.168.68.56:5589/stream?url=htt...com/watch/

Yes I can see sub's Android app is misfiring, but I said leave that for later if you want sub to look at it. chrome:// URLs will never work, don't waste time testing them.

I don't understand what you are saying about not needing channels. If you mean in the URL I am just copying the URL you gave us in the post above. If you mean you don't need ChannelsDVR you are correct and we never said you did.

When you say "it" doesn't work on another PC is that NextPVR, chrome-capture or yauiclient? No point in trying NextPVR on two servers at this point, get it working on one and then on another.

Sub and I already have and so we know it works. I have no interest in it myself since TVE doesn't work in Canada and HDPVR capture from my STB works great for all channels with NextPVR.

Don't you guys have TVE for TSN?  It's really for DRM TVE, websites etc.

I tested the yaui android app too and took a screen shot it doesn't work either, only the PC version

The reason I was trying on both is that its pretty hardware intensive, on channels I get lag, but on nextpvr it seems to work pretty good (when it works). Yes I modified to have the http:// instead of chrome://  That made it work in yauiclient when running on the same pc. I use a shield tv and would love to have nextpvr work on it (yauiclient) its pretty and modern, but as seen in screenshot, it wont work, only the pc version.
