The reskin of the media libraries component that you released last June has a few issues.

The automated metadata management is definitely a big step forward for people who don't manage their metadata themselves. However (as someone who curates their own (non tv recording) videos, it quite a big step backwards compared to the original videos.

The update has removed the ability to change the sort order which I miss as I would frequently switch from displaying movies in A-Z order to reverse date order.

Movies
I can now only scroll left and right to view all of my movies. Before, I could have all movies full the screen so I could scroll up & down also.
NPVR categorised the movies genres itself but with a high error rate (Terry Gilliams' dystopian film Brazil is listed under comedy, The Irishman under history...)
As a result, a movie frequently appears in multiple and often wrong genres, making far less easy to scroll through a movie collection that before.

Videos
I've added an Archive folder to videos
archive\comedy
archive\documentary
archive\drama

npvr has selected it's own posters for these folders which it then uses for all subsequent subfolders. I think that npvr should use existing folder/poster/filename.jpg/png files before going off to retrieve metadata. (I note that it does still load fanart.jpg as wallpaper).

When I've selected Drama, it lists the same shows under the headings of recent/all drama/comedy and drama.

I have a documentary folder that contains 4 videos and 7 subfolders. it only listed the 4 videos. when I moved them to a new subfolder called other, and then did an xxx refresh, all the subfolders appeared. 

I could only seem to make xxx work in native, not in default web or uiclient.html. Is this correct?

When viewing folders, they are sorted by creation date when I think they should be in alphabetical order ("recent" should be last accessed date).

In all other respects, Npvr works great!

I'm using a bridge/portal to enable pluto tv (as a std iptv source). I've also tried the (unsupported, I know) pluto extra with various streamlink/ffmpeg combos with the same results.  I'm relatively sure the bridge developer is tweaking things before they get to Npvr because different versions of his bridge provide slightly different results. Sometimes, some channels play in Npvr, other times not so much. But they always work when pulled directly into vlc. I'm sure this is the underlying cause to the audio only issue, BUT, the bottom line for me is that if I take the bridge stream(s) directly to vlc (eg http://<bridge-ip>:7777/pluto/us_east/watch/561d7d484dc7c8770484914a), bypassing Npvr they play fine.  Trying to play the same stream(s) in vlc via Npvr (eg http://<Npvr-server>:8866/live?channel=30) or the npvr clients I have (kodi, web/desktop) provides audio only.

I was hoping to try something similar with Tubi, but, wanted to see if this could be resolved first.

"Stop beating the Pluto dead horse" is a perfectly reasonable response.  I have a bad habit of beating my head against things that really don't have that much value.

No idea if the logs show anything helpful.

So....  First steps, ideas, addtnl info I should gather, etc.. I don't know how to capture a raw stream snippet coming from the bridge program, but, certainly will do that if someone explains how to do it.

Or, if anyone knows of other Pluto/Tubi/etc bridge programs that play better with Npvr that would be great too.

============
Other things I came across when trying to diagnose: I'm not sure if these are old or AI and were never valid responses
Audio ONLY - results said to change decoder in settings/decoder - I find no such setting
VLC setup - results say entering this, "http://<nextpvr-server-ip>:8866/channels", will provide vlc with an m3u of channels (or download an m3u in browser).  - neither worked for me

Environment
  • NextPVR 7.1.1.260616
  • Docker: nextpvr/nextpvr_amd64Confusedtable
  • Firefox on Windows
  • MPEG-2 TS recording, approximately 58 minutes
  • Playback through recording.transcode.m3u8

Issue
After seeking within a recording, the elapsed-time indicator on the left side of the timeline shows a position significantly ahead of the actual playback position.
For example, seeking to approximately 10 minutes can result in the elapsed-time indicator showing approximately 20 minutes, even though playback is occurring at the correct location.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Open a recorded .ts program in the NextPVR web player.
  2. Seek to approximately 10 minutes into the recording.
  3. Allow transcoded playback to resume.
  4. Observe that the elapsed-time label is ahead of the actual recording position.

Suspected cause
In /app/wwwroot/player.html, around line 1593, the playback position is calculated as:
var time = player.currentTime + startSeconds;

However, the displayed position is subsequently calculated using:
var position = display(time + startSeconds);

Since time already includes startSeconds, the seek offset is effectively added twice when formatting the elapsed-time label.
The internal lastPosition value uses time directly, which appears to be correct.

Tested fix
Changing:
var position = display(time + startSeconds);

to:
var position = display(time);

corrected the elapsed-time display in my local testing.

After applying this change, I sought to approximately 10 minutes and captured the following values from Firefox DevTools:
player.currentTime = 1.923291
startSeconds       = 601.414791
lastPosition       = 603
displayedTime      = 00:10:03

This is consistent with the actual playback position:
1.923291 + 601.414791 = 603.338082 seconds

With the original expression, these same values would produce 1204.75 seconds (20:05) instead of 10:03.

Verification
After applying the one-line correction and refreshing the web player, the elapsed-time indicator correctly reflected the recording position during seeking. I also compared commercial boundaries against recording-relative timestamps, which were consistent after the correction.

The modification was made directly inside the running Docker container and is not a persistent fix.
I've confirmed this behavior with Firefox and transcoded HLS playback. I haven't tested other browsers or playback methods.
It appears the display calculation simply needs to use display(time) rather than adding startSeconds again.]]>

It is called (for now) JDVR. If you have the time and are willing to help test, I would appreciate. I have tested so far on a Nvidia Sheild and an Onn 4k google box.
 
What works with NextPVR:
- Sign in with your PIN (it automatically detects servers on your network)
- Guide with channel logos, program art and your channel groups
- Live TV with pause and rewind from NextPVR's buffer
- Recordings: browse by show or by date, resume, watched, delete, and play recordings that are still recording
- Record, series recordings with NextPVR's options, keyword rules, manual recordings, series priority
- Home screen with tuners in use, drive space and failed recordings
- Commercial marks, a Skip prompt and ad-time badges from the .edl beside each recording. If you already run Comskip with output_edl=1, it just works. If you don't, there's an optional scanner service in the repo (tools/nextpvr-comskip). That scanner has a status page.
- There is a NextPVR inspired theme and a couple of others. 
 
Trying to get done: renaming recordings, Forget recording, choosing artwork, and genre colors.

Just running it again to time it.  I think it’s both HDHomeRun and iptv channels.   It just freezes then drops back to menu.

I did wonder if it was disk space related, but don’t think this is the case.]]>
Hadn’t noticed it before.  I’m sure I watched all of Bathurst last year (6+ hours via iptv)

But in the newer version with two different tvOS clients I notice the stream stop after a period of time.  It’s feels like it’s the same amount of time each time.  Maybe 10
Mins.

Just running it again to time it.  I think it’s both HDHomeRun and iptv channels.   It just freezes then drops back to menu.

I am unable to add channels with guide data, despite having a Schedule Direct subscription. 

In the 'Scan Channels Guide' window, the Guide drop-down menu stays stuck on '...loading...'. 
[Image: 1.jpg]

Furthermore, when I try to edit a channel in the 'Channel' window, I cannot access Schedule Direct as a source; the drop-down menu is blank. (I have also tried AutoMap, but it didn't work either).

[Image: 2.jpg]
Even after reconnecting my Schedule Direct account, the lineups do not appear in the guide window.

I've tried reinstalling on a real VM and followed the Linux install directions, but I still have the same problem.

I then tried restoring a backup, and everything works normally in version 7.0.5.260307, where I can add channels and see the mapping.

Is it possible to install an older version in my LXC container? 

Can I download the old version from an old machine and re-upload it to the new machine? Using scp? Which files would need to be transferred?

thank you

Hello,
I'm trying to use an older AVerMedia A825 USB Dual DVB-T tuner with NextPVR on Windows 11, but NextPVR detects only the IPTV Device.
System details
  • Operating system: Windows 11, version 26H2, OS Build 26300.9711
  • Tuner: AVerMedia A825 USB Dual DVB-T
  • Hardware ID:
    Code:
    USB\VID_07CA&PID_0825&REV_0201
  • Driver provider: AVerMedia
  • Driver version: 8.0.64.70 (dated 5 June 2013)
What I've tried
  1. Windows Device Manager lists the tuner and reports that it is working properly, with no yellow warning triangle.
  2. The tuner driver is installed.
  3. NextPVR Service is running.
  4. I clicked Rescan for devices in NextPVR several times, including after restarting the service.
  5. NextPVR continues to list only IPTV Device.
  6. In
    Code:
    C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data\logs
    ,
    Code:
    NRecord.log.1
    contains the IPTV device information but no occurrences of
    Code:
    AVerMedia
    or
    Code:
    BDA
    . Neither
    Code:
    NDigitalHost.log
    nor
    Code:
    NDigitalHost.log.1
    exists.
The same tuner was previously detected by the old AVerMedia software, which could scan channels but crashed when I selected a channel for playback. Windows still recognises the tuner.
Could someone advise how to diagnose why NextPVR does not discover this tuner? Is there a driver, BDA compatibility, or device-discovery issue I should investigate?

    exists.
The same tuner was previously detected by the old AVerMedia software, which could scan channels but crashed when I selected a channel for playback. Windows still recognises the tuner.
Could someone advise how to diagnose why NextPVR does not discover this tuner? Is there a driver, BDA compatibility, or device-discovery issue I should investigate?
Thank you.]]>
