MPEG-2 Channels won't play (black screen in nextpvr and disconnect from Kodi)

[aderlopas]

Hello,

I am having a problem playing MPEG-2 channels.
From Kodi it disconnects (MPEG-4 channels play fine).
From within nextpvr client on the same machine as server, MPEG-2 chnnels do not play either; it does not however disconnect, but I seeblank screen instead.

Any ideas? Attaching the logs. My decoders setup as in the screenshot attached.

Seems like there is something wrong in your database

Code:

2019-08-20 20:49:34.895    [ERROR][48]    Failed to open rolling file (C:\Users\Public\Videos\live-M.tv-8728-4.ts): System.Xml.XmlException: Root element is missing.

You probably should compress your npvr.db3 file and attach it.

Thanks I am attaching it. On a side note, it seems the channels dissapeared as I deleted all channels and now that I did a re-scan they are not there....very strange...
Either my antenna has a problem or something else is wrong...

That explains the Kodi issue, the logs did indicate that Kodi was out of sync.

There might be troubles with the Greek characters in the channel scan. I know you added NEXTPVR_EIT_LANG=gre recently. Does removing that setting change anything?

Very strange behavior...
I rescanned one device of the two (dual-tuner) and it came up with 30 channels.
I did not copy the channels to the second one and scanned that one too...
It came up with 27 channels...

Let me remove NEXTPVR_EIT_LANG=gre and try again...

I'm pretty sure that NEXTPVR_EIT_LANG will only affect the DVB EPG.

[aderlopas]

Most likely. Removing it had no effect, channels are now 24!
Updating Happauge DualHD drivers again...

By the way, I am scanning All countries, All Regions. No ability in V5 to scan offsets...

The offsets are only really relevant to UK and Australia, and most drivers will take care of it automatically.

How many channels do you the Hauppauge WinTV app?
