Both the technical support guy and the CS rep we spoke to at VZ sounded sincerely apologetic over this. After a pair of long conversations, we opted for their "premium" multi-room service which is said to include two VMS4100 DVRs and one IPC4100 STB; we are told this will give us 2TB of storage to be shared among the three boxes.

Naturally, we're looking to enhance the storage with NextPVR systems, in our case on Windows PCs.

My question to the Forum is: I've been trialing (with success) NextPVR on a system where the video source is an older Arris IPC1100 P2. When I swap out this box for one of the new boxes, how much (if any) reinstallation of software and/or tweaking of NPVR settings can I expect to need to carry out? Hoping it's a matter of disconnecting the 1100 from the Hauppauge HDPVR2, and then simply connecting it to the 4100. The idea is that the HDPVR2 won't notice a difference because it's the same kind of source (HDMI), and that NPVR won't notice a difference since it's communicating with the HDPVR2 which is still there. Something tells me, though, that this scenario may be too optimistic.

Then there is the IR blaster to be placed next to the new STB. This will need to be reprogrammed, won't it?

Apologies if this topic has been discussed already and my search didn't turn it up.

Thanks in advance for any insights, tips, or experience shared.]]>

NextPVR finds my FRITZ!Box 6490 Cable box just fine and shows all four tuners, but scanning doesn't get me any channels. I have attached logs and also the .ini file I use for the local cable provider. I have created the ini file based on this I believe https://www.kaisanet.fi/app/uploads/2021...ahtien.pdf In the past it found channels just fine, but now nothing I do helps. I have uninstalled the software many times, no luck.

Version: 7.0.5.260307
Ini file is in C:\Program Files\NextPVR\data\tuning\DVB-C

DVB-C part of FRITZ!Box 6490's control panel shows the scan and it shows the channel names when the scan hits the frequency but still nextprv doesn't find it.

I am running the Windows version of NPVR, and store my recordings on a Synology NAS.
I have it currently running the Windows version of Comskip and it works OK, so I have some idea how to set that up.

What I would like to do is keep NPVR on Windows, but run Comskip on the NAS.
I just can't figure out how to pass the Windows file path over to the NAS box in the format it's expecting.

I've done quite a bit of reading and have tried many variations to no avail.

I have tried using %1, $1, passing arguments over to a Synology shell script before calling Comskip, etc.
I can go into the NAS and run the shell script manually, and it works.
I just can't figure out how to get my Windows PostProcessing batch file to do it automatically.

If anyone feels they could help I would need specific instructions because I have already tried a lot.

Thanx for looking.]]>

I'm running NextPVR 7.0.5.260307 on Windows and I'm trying to automate the M3U channel update via NScriptHelper, but I keep getting "Not Allowed" (error code 13).

What works fine:
- NScriptHelper.exe -status → returns ok
- NScriptHelper.exe -pin:0000 -service:method=system.epg.update → works fine
- Calling setting.m3u.update manually via the web UI works perfectly

What does NOT work:
- dotnet "C:\Program Files\NextPVR\NScriptHelper.dll" -pin:0000 -service:method=setting.m3u.update → Not Allowed (code 13)
- Same result with NScriptHelper.exe
- Same result with curl and Python requests against the API

I found a similar thread from 2020 (V5) where "sub" fixed this with an updated NShared.dll. It seems the same security restriction is back in V7.

Background: My IPTV provider changes stream URLs every 2-3 days. When this happens, recordings fail until I manually click "Update Channels" in Settings → Devices. I want to automate this so recordings don't fail.

Is there a supported way to trigger setting.m3u.update from a script in V7? Or is there another approach to keep the M3U channels updated automatically?

I recently updated to 7.0.5, I was on 7.0.2 just before the upgrade. 

After the upgrade I got a strange error that was stating my EPG file (which is raw XML) was in an unsupported compression and could not be loaded. After a while, I figured out that if I forced my EPG into a .gz compression then the error goes away. 

My question is if this is a new requirement or change? In 7.0.2 it was able to use the raw XML file for my EPG listing, maybe I somehow got lucky and it never was supposed to do that. 

I figured I'd come ask the experts!

1) Is there meant to be an OSD? I'm sure I saw it visible once while paused, but it disappeared after resuming or FF'ing. I've never seen it again. Something broken in my setup?

2) Often I pause a live broadcast; sometimes when I resume then FF or RW, after the jump, there is no audio. It is intermittent but usually happens as often as every 4th FF or RW press. It does not seem to be a problem in the stream, as for example I can FF (right arrow) 60s, then left arrow twice to go back, and the audio starts again.

3) Don't know if related to (2) - I was watching a channel which defaults to an audio stream for visually impaired (for other NZ readers - Duke+1). I accidentally changed audio stream to 'disabled', and after sound stopped, changing back to the correct audio stream (ENG or for visually impaired) didn't reactivate the audio. I had to abandon watching that program (and return to the TV Guide and start again), which was bad because I was paused a long way into that program and I missed most of that broadcast.

4) Keys R and F (for 10 sec RW/FF) work same as 4.2.5, cool. But took me a while to realise I now need to hold CTRL with right or left arrows for 60s FF/30s RW. Is there a way to map just arrow keys (without CTRL) to these actions, as I don't know of any other use of arrows during playback?

5) Minor inconvenience - if I watch a channel and then press ESC, I return to the TV Guide. But if I FF or RW while watching, I have to press ESC twice to return to the TV Guide. Expected? (And if I get in the habit of always pressing twice, in the case where the first ESC works, the second press takes me out of the TV Guide and back to the main menu.)


I'll attach a snapshot of my current renders/decoders; this has not changed from my old win10/4.2.5 setup, where I also had older hardware. (I had a Hauppauge HVR-2200 and now have a Hauppauge quadHD.) Happy to update renderers or decoders if people have suggestions for better ones!

Thanks!

I have channels common to DVB-T and DVB-S merged so for example BBC One HD shows as 6 sources (4 being terrestrial an 2 being Freesat).

If I scan one of my terrestrial tuners, the list of channels it produces shows the frequencies but some of them are satellite frequencies and not the terrestrial ones I was expecting.
Also applying the filters selecting DVB-T doesn't seem to work.

Is there an easy way to work out which frequencies from a scan have changed compared to the ones in the current database?

If I tick an existing channel after a scan and save, will the database get updated with the frequency detected in the scan. If so, will that tuners channel still stay in the merge channel list?

1. Now most shows aren't recording - I get [Failed: No errors, but no data delivered. This is usually because the device failed to lock a signal.]  I've only moved 8-10 kilometres but just in case I rescanned for channels.  I've always had 4 Hauppuage tuners, so could record 4 different frequencies at once.  Last night one show recorded and the other two gave the above error message.  I think 2 tuners have stopped working - they can't scan, though still hold the previous channels.  So I've reordered the Devices page to give the two that are working priority.  
   
2. But why didn't two shows record last night?  I feel that the system is remembering which tuner it was to use and if it doesn't work the system simply fails.  Is that possible?
   
3. Is there any way to tell if a tuner has failed?  Or can you only assume no scan means it's dead.  I understand the tuners aren't being made any more.  Any suggestions?
   
4. Do I need to reinstall to get the programme to re-allocate tuners to jobs?  (I really don't want to lose all the pending and recurring shows.
   
5. The other problem is that I can't get it to update the epg.  The internet is definitely connected to the computer, I've streamed the missed shows.  But might NewPVR not be getting the signal?  How can I tell?

I use NPVR exclusively as my backend recording service, but have developed a custom UI for managing and viewing my recordings. This was done primarily to accommodate my 83 year-old wife.

My problem is I can't take advantage of using COMSKIP.

My UI uses VLC as the media player, and I don't think it supports the COMSKIP EDL file. I have since discovered that MPV doesn't support it either. MPLAYER looks like it would work, except it doesn't play well with TS files; the timeline is screwed up from the start. I looked at ZOOMPLAYER but didn't get anywhere. If there were a way to just use the NPVR player that would be the solution, but I doubt that's possible either.

Bottom line, is anyone aware of an external Windows media player that supports the COMSKIP EDL?]]>

There are three ways to try to enable or disable closed captioning in the NPVR UI client:

1. Mouse: Right-click on the NextPVR.exe UI window, then select Subtitle Stream from the context menu, and then select Closed Captions
   
2. Media Center Remote: Press the More Info button, then the Down arrow button to highlight the controls at the bottom of the overlay, then the Left arrow button to reach the hamburger menu, next click the OK button, and finally select Change Subtitle Stream
   
3. Keyboard: Press Ctrl-X to display the Select Subtitle Stream menu
   

On my main test PC, however, none of these is managing to actually set closed captioning: the subtitles never start appearing onscreen, and the next time I bring up the CC selection menu, "Disabled" shows as the current setting. I figure I must be missing a step or a setting somewhere.

@mvallevand has suggested using yauiclient.exe instead if CC is important to us and I may ultimately do that, but I'm curious as to what if anything can be done for this on NextPVR.exe. Maybe modifying some line(s) in config.xml?]]>

On my main test PC, however, none of these is managing to actually set closed captioning: the subtitles never start appearing onscreen, and the next time I bring up the CC selection menu, "Disabled" shows as the current setting. I figure I must be missing a step or a setting somewhere.

@mvallevand has suggested using yauiclient.exe instead if CC is important to us and I may ultimately do that, but I'm curious as to what if anything can be done for this on NextPVR.exe. Maybe modifying some line(s) in config.xml?]]>
