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.

TVNZ IPTV stopped working.

About three days ago my recordings of the TVNZ news started failing to record with a data error.

Can't Scan for Channels Fedora 44

When I try to scan for channels I get " Unexpected error in ScanOptions: System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path '/atsc'."

The other packages are installed, including dvt-scan-tables.

Increase scan channels timeout?

Mon, 01 Jun 2026 01:49:23 +0000

I have an issue running NextPVR on Ubuntu where one of the frequencies is failing to scan.

I've tested it using dvbv5-scan and a 30 sec timeout and it does then scan the channels OK.

The issue isn't signal strength as the other frequencies are a similar or even lesser strength, it just seems that the service on the problem frequency is slower to enumerate(?).

TIA

I have tested the ABC IPTV Streams in VLC and they works fine as well.

Let me know if there is anything else you'd like log wise or for me to test.

here is my docker compose.yaml:

recording one channel causes serviceto crash -

Thu, 28 May 2026 03:17:24 +0000

hi Martin....

'we got one' as they say....

recording abcnews at noon - the nextpvr service crashes and wont restart - even after a reboot.

this has happened before and i need to either delete the db file or uninstall/reinstall to get nextpvr back

interersting aside - in some of the log files its looking for a languages folder that does not exist

the main problem - if i try to record any abc channel, it takes out the service and kills it with fire.

these logs were gathered manually - there is no access to settings to press the 'get logs' button

Automatic Recording Cleanup

Mon, 25 May 2026 18:02:50 +0000

Is there a way to setup Next PVR to automatically:

-- Delete Videos that have already been viewed
-- Delete Videos that have aged like anything more than three weeks old.

is there a way to force iptv input streams through ffmpeg?

Sun, 24 May 2026 09:12:35 +0000

Hi Folks...

I don't really understand how iptv recording works so i may be barking up the wrong tree...

i use the mjh m3u8 playlists to watch and/or record live ,free iptv....

ive had a recurring problem where the recordings fail with "recording interrupted" and a few other issues that i don't want to trouble anyone with here...
....it seems like if there is a glitch in the stream, it causes the recording to fail.

now...i have tried using ffmpeg command line on a few recordings, and it seems to be able to handle the glitches - you can see it as warnings in the scrolling logs....
but the resultant .ts file comes out complete.

hence the question - is there a way to pipe all the channels in a m3u8 playlist to go through ffmpeg first? (i'd like to see if ffmpeg can help out with glitchy channel streams)

Ive tried putting the mjh playlist .m3u8 into an 'extras.xml' but it does not show any channels...(admittedly i got the code lines to do it from AI slop)
I would be prepared to manually put all the channels in the extras file, if thats the way to do it, but i'm lazy and wondering if there is another way?

This is what i put in "extras.xml":

ffmpeg.exe
-i "https://i.mjh.nz/au/Sydney/kodi-tv.m3u8" -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f mpegts -

but even i dont think this makes sense

any advice would be greatly appreciated...

DVB subtitles off centre

Sun, 24 May 2026 01:14:42 +0000

Using webapp and each of the latest npvr versions.

Some subtitles are so off that they're partially cut out of the screen.

However, some other times they are indeed centred. Don't know if channel related, can’t find a pattern.

Using kodi all is fine.
