Cannot add HD-PVR Channel

[bobster151]

Hi,

I installed NextPVR 5 rcently and I think it's great.  The only thing I haven't been able to figure out yet is how to add my HD-PVR as viewable.  It shows as device Local Recorder (Hauppauge HD-PVR Crossbar).

I was able to do this quite easily in NextPVR 4 by manually adding it as source HDPVR.  This is the xml when I export it:

<Channels Type="HDPVR">
  <Channel>
    <Name>Sky</Name>
    <Number>1500</Number>
    <ServiceType>4121</ServiceType>
    <tuning>
      <type>HDPVR</type>
      <locator>
        <channel>998</channel>
        <input>0</input>
        <audio_input>RCA Back</audio_input>
      </locator>
    </tuning>
    <EPGSource>None</EPGSource>
  </Channel>
</Channels>


Any ideas welcome

Did you try importing, using some guide source for the channel lineup? or you trying to add a single channel manually?

Thanks for the response.

i did try an import after selecting the device but nothing imported.
i could see no option to manually add a channel.

Can you try importing, then post your logs? I’ll check for errors.

Sorry for the delay, here are the logs.

Was there ever any resolution to this? I have the same problem.

There is no feature to manually add one channel if that is your problem. You could do it by manually creating an XMLTV file but what are you going to use as a source for guide data?

I don't care about guide data for HDPVR, I just need to assign it a channel, like I was able to in v4, so that I can manually record from the hdpvr.

This is the same for me, sorry I haven't found a way to do it.

Does this xmltv file work?

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE tv SYSTEM "xmltv.dtd">
<tv source-info-name="HDPVR" generator-info-name="fake" generator-info-url="">
    <channel id="uknown.hdpvr">
        <display-name>100 HDPVR</display-name>
    </channel>
</tv>
