unable to communicate with recording service *error* Please HELP !

[VincentVega29]

Hi,

I have setup NextPVR on my PC and have managed to generate a playlist of channels and EPG guide is working fine but i keep getting the error message unable to communicate with recording service error message when trying to playback any channel. I read in a post on this forum that all you simply need to do is click the ''Start NPVR Service'' icon in the start menu.

My problem is that i can't seem to for the life of me find this icon to click ! I have searched high and low for it with no luck. Could someone who knows anything about NextPVR give me a shove in the right direction. I am new to NextPVR so don't have much clue how to get it properly configured.

Thanks for any help guys and girls

Vincent

You should find the start service icon in the Start Menu>Programs>NPVR>Start NPVR Service

You could sent it to the desktop as a shortcut to make it easier.

If it is not there, then there may have been an install problem. Try running the installer again.

Your a legend, i was looking at the actual program itself and trying to find a start menu LOL. I didn't realise it was in the (Windows Start Menu) haha.

Problem solved and all is working well.

Thank you very much and have a nice evening.

Its cool, just for anyone reading if they find the same problem, i just downloaded Lav filters and set all audio to Lav on the decoders section and now i have sound and picture

Try installing LAV … https://github.com/Nevcairiel/LAVFilters/releases … Set all video and audio decoders in NextPVR Settings to LAV.
