			<description><![CDATA[Hello,<br />
I am experiencing recurring Live TV playback interruptions when using the NextPVR PVR client in Kodi.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">My setup:</span><ul class="mycode_list"><li>NextPVR Server: 7.1.1.260616<br />
</li>
<li>NextPVR running in Docker on a Synology NAS<br />
</li>
<li>Kodi 21 with pvr.nextpvr 21.3.2.1<br />
</li>
<li>IPTV channels configured in NextPVR<br />
</li>
<li>Kodi and NextPVR are connected over the local network<br />
</li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">The problem:</span><br />
Live TV playback works normally for approximately 30–60 minutes, then suddenly stops and Kodi returns to the channel guide.<br />
The issue occurs with different IPTV sources, not just one channel. Playback through the NextPVR web player appears stable.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Tests already performed:</span><br />
I tested different NextPVR Live TV buffer settings:<br />
<br />
Buffer size       Approximate playback duration<br />
<br />
20 minutes      28–30 minutes<br />
60 minutes      40 minutes<br />
120 minutes    55–60 minutes<br />
<br />
I also tested the Kodi NextPVR client's Real Time and Timeshift playback methods.<br />
For the latest test:<ul class="mycode_list"><li>Live TV method: Timeshift<br />
</li>
<li>Direct Streams: Disabled<br />
</li>
<li>NextPVR Live TV buffer: 120 minutes<br />
</li>
<li>Kodi <br />
<div class="codeblock"><div class="title">Code:</div><div class="body" dir="ltr"><code>advancedsettings.xml</code></div></div>: <br />
<div class="codeblock"><div class="title">Code:</div><div class="body" dir="ltr"><code>curllowspeedtime=60</code></div></div></li>
</ul>
Unfortunately, the problem still occurs.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Relevant log messages:</span><br />
Kodi reports:<br />
<div class="codeblock"><div class="title">Code:</div><div class="body" dir="ltr"><code>CVideoPlayerAudio::Process - stream stalled</code></div></div>followed by:<br />
<div class="codeblock"><div class="title">Code:</div><div class="body" dir="ltr"><code>Reconnect, (re)try 1</code></div></div>and:<br />
<div class="codeblock"><div class="title">Code:</div><div class="body" dir="ltr"><code>Failed: Requested range was not delivered by the server (33)</code></div></div>The NextPVR logs show messages including:<br />
<div class="codeblock"><div class="title">Code:</div><div class="body" dir="ltr"><code>stream@2 got zero bytes
client disconnected
Live stream expired without 15 second renewal.</code></div></div>After the stream disconnects, Kodi attempts to reconnect using an HTTP byte-range request, but playback cannot recover.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">My questions:</span><br />
<ol type="1" class="mycode_list"><li>Is this a known issue with the Kodi NextPVR client or NextPVR's Live TV streaming?<br />
</li>
<li>Could the HTTP range/reconnect behavior be responsible for the playback stopping?<br />
</li>
<li>Is there a recommended fix or workaround?<br />
</li>
</ol>
<br />
I have attached sanitized Kodi and NextPVR logs from the latest playback failure. Sensitive URLs, credentials, network addresses and identifiers have been redacted.<br />
Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br />
Thank you!<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Hi, <br />
<br />
I'm on Version: 7.1.1.260616  on a Windows 10 PC with clients that are all RasPi, Onn, Fire. <br />
<br />
I had a secondary recording location that was pointed at my NAS on my network. It was called "DS418play". The path was "\\DS418play\TV Shows\NextPVR Recordings\". That setup worked fine for years. I recently got a new NAS. I named it "DS1618". The folder structure is the same, so I updated the recording location to "\\DS1618\TV Shows\NextPVR Recordings\"<br />
<br />
For some reason, that causes a problem. I can get TV to play on a client for maybe 30 secs, sometimes longer, and then an error will pop up that says timeshifting is disabled, and the stream stops shortly after. To test, I renamed my NAS "DS418play" (the same name as my old NAS and old file path, even though this is a DS1618 NAS now). That made the errors stop and playback was fine again. I changed the names to DS1618, error started again.<br />
<br />
Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix? I did export the logs zip file, but I'm unsure what specifically would be needed from it. Thanks in advance!<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Hi,<br />
I'm running NextPVR in the official Docker container nextpvr/nextpvr_amd64 on Unraid.<br />
I noticed playback issues while testing my recordings.<br />
<br />
The host also has an Intel Arc A310, but that GPU is bound to vfio-pci and is not used by NextPVR.<br />
The Arrow Lake iGPU is exposed to the NextPVR container as: /dev/dri/renderD128<br />
<br />
The mapping on the host is:<br />
pci-0000:00:02.0-card  -&gt; ../card1<br />
pci-0000:00:02.0-render -&gt; ../renderD128<br />
<br />
Inside the NextPVR container:<br />
crwxrwxrwx 1 root 18 226, 128 /dev/dri/renderD128<br />
<br />
NextPVR runs as root, so this does not appear to be a permissions issue.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">1. VAAPI / web playback</span><br />
With VAAPI enabled in NextPVR, playing a recording in the web interface fails with: Failed to start requested stream<br />
<br />
Testing VAAPI directly inside the NextPVR container reproduces the problem:<br />
ffmpeg \<br />
  -hide_banner \<br />
  -vaapi_device /dev/dri/renderD128 \<br />
  -f lavfi -i color=size=1280x720:rate=25 \<br />
  -vf 'format=nv12,hwupload' \<br />
  -c:v h264_vaapi \<br />
  -frames:v 25 \<br />
  -f null -<br />
<br />
[AVHWDeviceContext @ ...] libva: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so init failed<br />
[AVHWDeviceContext @ ...] libva: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so init failed<br />
[AVHWDeviceContext @ ...] Failed to initialise VAAPI connection: -1 (unknown libva error).<br />
Device creation failed: -5.<br />
Failed to set value '/dev/dri/renderD128' for option 'vaapi_device': Input/output error<br />
Error parsing global options: Input/output error<br />
<br />
The versions installed in the NextPVR container are:<br />
ffmpeg 5.1.9-0+deb12u1<br />
intel-media-va-driver-non-free 23.1.1+ds1-1<br />
libva2 2.17.0-1<br />
libva-drm2 2.17.0-1<br />
<br />
I also tested what upgrading the VAAPI stack from Debian Trixie would require. It would provide:<br />
intel-media-va-driver-non-free 25.2.3<br />
libva 2.22.0<br />
libdrm 2.4.124<br />
<br />
but it would also upgrade libc and several other core packages from Debian 12 to Debian 13, so I did <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">not</span> perform that upgrade.<br />
As soon as I <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">disable VAAPI in NextPVR, web playback works correctly</span>.<br />
Therefore this seems to be specifically related to the Intel VAAPI/media-driver version in the current NextPVR container and Arrow Lake-S.<br />
Interestingly, Plex is running on the same Unraid server with the same /dev/dri device exposed and ships its own iHD_drv_video.so and works fine.<br />
<br />
My questions is:<br />
Is the Intel media-driver included in the current NextPVR Docker image known to be too old for Arrow Lake-S, and is there a plan to update it?<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Seems to be some trouble with NextPVR recording scheduling when RealTimeIsUniversal is enabled in Windows.  This is a useful Windows setting when mixing Windows and Linux systems.  I haven't spent any time investigating yet but I bet the NextPVR recording service might start before that registry setting takes effect as it seems my recordings are off by the 2 hour amount this setting would adjust things for my system.  Perhaps a workaround is making NextPVR service dependent on something or simply delay starting?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I have been fiddling about with using JellyFin as the front end for NextPVR recordings for a while, so far so good.  I am now starting to look at the new JellyFin 12.0-RC4 release.  I run NextPVR and Jellyfin as separate Docker containers on the same server.  The release notes for RC4 note the need to remove and reinstall any plugins (if you are upgrading), I am not, this is a new clean installation of JellyFin 12.0 RC-4.  I installed the current (?) NextPVR plugin for Jellyfish (v13.0.0 ?) and configured it for my environments.  I  am NOT using the JellyFin Live TV or DVR configuration at all.  I seem to be able to access NextPVR Live TV, Guide and recordings without any problems.<br />
<br />
Questions:<br />
1. Is this the correct NextPVR plugin version to use ?  Is there likely to be a revision of the plugin for the new JellyFin 12.x release when this comes about ?<br />
<br />
2. Although, as noted above, I can see Live TV and recordings without any visible problems on screen, the Jellyfin log files repeat the following error/warning multiple (lots and lots of) times (<a href="http://cmdock-av1:8866" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">http://cmdock-av1:8866</a> is my Docker NextPVR installation):<br />

Is it something I need to worry about ? Am I missing something in the setup of NextPVR or Jellyfin or plugin?  I am not sure if this is a NextPVR or a Jellyfin issue but I thought I would start here as I have some history with NextPVR.  I am happy to move it to the JellyFin forums if this deemed necessary<br />

Then I started to get messages "Recording service stopped during recording" Then the App started to lock up and had to be rebooted, Then the web browser"localhost8866" would fail with "Can't find" error, I can reboot and everything works for about an hour then the failures start again.  <br />
<br />
I checked the disks, they seem to be ok, I recorded and played back using WinTV, everything OK, I tried running Setup again, don't think it did anything.  If I try to playback recordings from NextPvr on another windows viewer they have the same problems.<br />

I can see that my VPN is changing server IP addresses (I am looking into this).  <br />

I have the NextPVR set to request updated schedules once a day.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Hi,<br />
<br />
Since few days / weeks, lot of issues with NextPVR, so I unsintalled and reinstalled, and now a channel scan on my DVB-T tuner only finds 15 channels.<br />
Still works perfectly with same hardware on Linux.<br />
<br />
**Setup:**<br />
- NextPVR 7.1.0.260607 (Windows)<br />
- Tuner: AF9015 BDA Filter (DVB-T)<br />
- Region: France (TNT)<br />
<br />
**What the logs show (according to Claude):**<br />
- The tuner locks fine — e.g. at 474000: `locked=1, present=1, strength=20, quality=20`<br />
- But the scan only probes a small set of frequencies: 474, 490, 498, 522, 562, 586 MHz, which is far fewer than the full French UHF lineup.<br />
- Result: `"channelCount": 15` for the DVB-T device (normally around 40)<br />
<br />
It really looks like the scan isn't covering all the multiplexes it used to.<br />
I attach the logs.<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />
