AC3Filter

Fri, 12 Jun 2026 04:55:31 +0000

I am using the NextPVR client and the LAV Filters AC3 decoder consistently loses sync between the audio and video for me on my system and has been an issue for years. I found AC3Filter 2.2a which is an older audio decoder that works great. The audio and video stay in sync when I use it.

If anyone wants to try it out, Here comes the WARNING! The newer version on the old AC3Filter.net project website has been hacked and the download has a virus. So BE CAREFUL where you download it from!!!

Blank screen on uidroid

Fri, 12 Jun 2026 01:00:10 +0000

Just got a new Google TV. I sideloaded the uidroid-mediax apk and it installed fine. When I try to use it, all I get is a blank blue screen. If I restart the server then I get a semi normal looking home screen, but when I start to use it I get a garbled home screen with overlay over overlay. When I close the app and restart the app it's back to the blue screen. The app is connected to the server. So out of curiosity I checked my Onn TV box on another TV And got the same result. The Onn box worked with the previous NPVR server build v7.0.5.260307. I am now on v7.1.0.260607 (linux build) and that is when the issue came about. This is a clean install. I will attach log files.

Thanks
Ken

Failing to load channel list

Thu, 11 Jun 2026 17:44:53 +0000

Hi,

My IPTV provider was recently moved to a new server, and where everything loaded and worked before in NextPVR, now when I try to add the device and I put in the host with the correct login details for an xc connection, it's failing to load the channels.

I've attached the logs if anyone is able to identify the problem and help me resolve the issue?

Many Thanks,
JM

"Other Web Client" on two Pi's

Thu, 11 Jun 2026 15:25:46 +0000

I run NextPVR on two Pi's, one Pi4 and one Pi5. The Pi4 runs NextPVR via a Docker container, while the Pi5 runs it via installation with the Helper. This week I upgraded both Pi's to the latest version of NextPVR, v7.1.0.260607. This question concerns the behavior of the "other" web client across the two machines.

On the UI on the Pi4 (Docker), I see the main menu item "UIClient" just to the right of "Scheduler." Clicking on this brings up an alternative vertical menu structure (that I had never used before) which seems powerful. It appears to work fine; I like it.

On the UI on the Pi5 (Helper), "UIClient" does not appear on the main menu. If I go to the Settings page, and press the button "Where is the other web client?" the web page goes black, and a tiny square of pixels is shown in the upper left corner (using Chrome on Windows 11). The running NextPVR server process then exits with the following in systemctl:

Code:

New Version Not Displaying Meta Data in Video Menu

Wed, 10 Jun 2026 03:26:02 +0000

After downloading the latest version, the video meta data is no longer being displayed in the video through NextPVR.exe. I've include two screen captures showing the same video on the latest and previous versions.

keymappings.xml duplicate Play command

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 20:12:42 +0000

FYI - I did a clean install of the new build on a spare system. The keymappings.xml file has duplicate Play entries. I know this was there in the previous version (I was tracking down an issue with my remote control configuration.)

New version problem with playback

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 02:28:15 +0000

I just installed the new windows version. I now have a problem with all video/audio playback. Both the desktop and web apps video are badly broken up. Severe stuttering that will often result in a full freeze of screen. All recordings prior to the new install and after the install all have the problem. However ALL recordings prior to the new install and even those recorded after the new install do play perfectly with any third party multimedia app.

Logs are attached.

SAT>IP server channels not found

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 01:30:00 +0000

Hi folks,

Just upgraded to version 7.1.0.260607 which fails to find any sat>ip channels from my Triax TSS400. The log file shows a problem with paths.
I have included the log file which also contains an updated '1600 KoreaSat6 FTA (160.0E).ini' which reflects the updates made to freeview NZ satellite in the last week or so!
Please let me know if I can provide any further information

Kind regards, Stephen

Guide Page Problem

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 22:56:03 +0000

I have upgraded to 7.1.0.260607, and now I'm having problems setting up EPG guide. The guides keep on disappearing until I refresh the page many times. Everything was working fine on version 7.0.5.260307.

Thanks!

Will new release fix my audio synch issues?

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 12:18:54 +0000

I haven't upgraded since last September. Since I can't revert back, if the new release doesn't fix my long-standing issues with synchronization of audio, I will probably leave it at that version. Hoping that it was addressed somehow, since it works fine with other players.

7.1.0.260607 available (7 June)

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 02:14:07 +0000

I've updated the NextPVR builds to the new v7.1.0.260607 release. This is one of the larger releases we've done in a while. Thanks Martin, and the testers, for all the help getting this release ready.
