EPG not updating after changing tuners

N88yanks · 2025-09-22, 01:23 PM

Hi - I recently changed my tuner from a Hauppauge to an HDHomeRun - which works great, I might add. The only problem I am having is that after the switch, the EPG update is not working. It runs, but always ends with no data and the message :"EPG Update complete. [0 inserted, 0 updated, 0 skipped]". Recording works perfectly, but having the EPG guide is a help sometimes. Any help would be appreciated. Attached are my logs. Thank you!

For the OTA guide with an HDHR in HDHR mode you need to install the Silicondust utilities on the same PC as the NextPVR server. That is "HDHomeRun Software for Windows" here https://www.silicondust.com/support/downloads/

Thank you - I already have that installed. I tried to update, but I am on the latest version. The EPG looks great inside that software. Does it need to be linked to NextPVR somehow?

Not according your logs.

2025-09-20 08:00:49.117 [ERROR][70] Could not find C:\Program Files\Silicondust\HDHomeRun\hdhomerun_config.exe

Maybe you installed their APP and not the software I linked to.

Thanks - that was indeed it. So how do I tell NextPVR to use HDHomeRun to update the EPG? Thx!

Once you have that app installed and wait for the OTA update you should have a same data that you were used to with the Hauppauge.

If you want the same data as the Silicondust software check out this utility https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?tid=64648

I think I'm still missing something. I have run a manual EPG update a couple of times and I still get "EPG Update complete. [0 inserted, 0 updated, 0 skipped]" almost immediately. Attached are the logs. What am I missing? Thx! I appreciate your help!

You may have to restart the service, it is complaining about being out of port and you have been running fro weeks. It could be a firewall issue too.
