    python3 r5000.py START R5ooo-HD 150   /R5000_Recordings/todays_test-on-the-r5000.  The opendct.sh file is called by an extra.xml file and the opendct calls an opendct.py script provided by Martin a few years ago.<br />
<br />
The file todays_test-on-the-r5000 is created fine and has watchable video.<br />
<br />
My opendct.sh file is as follows:<br />
nextname=//R5000_Recordings//&#36;2.ts<br />
<br />

python3 &#36;opendct STOP "&#36;2"<br />
rm "&#36;nextname"<br />
<br />
I've been beating my head against the wall on this for days now to no avail.  Frustrating since it was working the last time I used it bad sadly don't have all the config files from when it was.  Since it still works in SageTV it seems like I'm missing something simple, but I can't wrap my head around it.  Can anyone point me in the right direction on this.<br />

I recently upgraded my ageing media server to a Raspberry Pi 5 running Libreelec 12.2.1<br />
I have a Triax TSS400 SAT&gt;IP server which I thought I might be able to us, but it does not show up under the 'Devices' section of the web app.<br />
<br />
It appears to be found as seen in the logs, but it does not indicate that it is a 4 channel DVBS2 4 receiver device.<br />
<br />
I have had this device running under TVHeadend but found that I to specifically tell TVHeadend that it was a DVBS2-4 device.<br />
<br />
I have included a status screen from the Triax showing it receiving TVNZ 1, as well as a specification document all included in the logs archive.<br />
<br />
I would be really grateful if you can suggest how I might proceed to get it to work with NextPVR?<br />
Please let me know if you need me to provide any further information.<br />
<br />
Kind regards and thanks in advance, Stephen]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I have the Linux version of NextPVR v7 installed and working, but there are no files or folders in the /var/opt/nextpvr/scripts folder needed for Comskip where I think the file ParallelProcessing.sh should be installed.<br />
<br />
Thanks to AI, I have step-by-step instructions from the Internet that I used to install Comskip with (using) my Linux Debian 12 Synaptic Package Manager.  I have ATTACHED these instructions for others to use, and comment if they are flawed or inadequate.    The Synaptic Package Manager did not throw any errors during the Comskip installation.<br />
<br />
I was very careful to be sure all the required dependencies are installed before and after the installation.  A sample of the dependencies I found installed on my system hard drive are:<br />
/usr/bin/comskip<br />
/usr/share/doc/comskip<br />
/usr/share/doc/comskip/changelog.Debian.gz<br />

/usr/share/nodejs/prismjs/components/prism-docker.min.js<br />
<br />
Missing is the shell script  ParallelProcessing.sh   It is also missing in the Debian repository and I could not find it anywhere on the Internet.  I think we need Parallel Processing, but since neither Comskip, nor NextPVR, nor I are installing it, how do we get Comskip running?   <br />
<br />
Also attached are my zipped Log files.  Martin, I rebooted my computer this morning to try to reduce the size of the zipped Log files as you suggested, but their size increased to 4.0 MB. <br />

			<description><![CDATA[I've installed NextPVR on Debian Linux (Trixie).<br />
I've also installed the NSShared.ddl (April 2, 2026).<br />
I am using a four port DiSEqC connected to three LNBs (port four is not used).<br />
<br />
Port 1: 19.2 Astra 1<br />
Port 2: 28.2 Astra 2<br />
Port 3: 23.5 Astra 3<br />
Port 4: -<br />
<br />
When I start Scanning, it seems to be working fine. <br />
When checking the DiSEqC, I can see that it is using Port 1.<br />
NextPVR finds over 600 channels, which is okay for Astra 1.<br />
<br />
Then the channelcounter (Channels found ...) starts over. First the count disappears, then it comes back with a low count.<br />
I suppose NextPVR now wants to scan the transponders on Port 2 (Astra 2) of the DiSEqC, however the port on the DiSEqC has not changed!<br />
The LED on port 1 is still emitting light, so DiSEqC has not switched to Port 2.<br />
<br />
After over 30 minutes it is still scanning 12168000 kHz and number of channels is stable at 44. Seems like NextPVR is stalled.<br />
<br />
With same hardware, Linux and same dvb-driver and Tuner, I have tested this exact same setup with MythTV and TVheadEnd.<br />
Both work fine controlling the the DiSEqC.<br />
I could just use MythTV or TVheadEnd but I prefer to use NextPVR.<br />
<br />
Seems like NextPVR does not send the command to switch the DiSEqC port.<br />
<br />
Is this a known issue? Is there a solution for this issue ?<br />
<br />

			<description><![CDATA[My LibreElec NextPVR server seems to be working as normal and has done for over a year. I do very occasionally get a blank recording.<br />
The problem seems to have started or at least noticed when channel Quest stopped working working overnight some weeks ago. For some reason the Irish version is called Quest HD but the UK HD version Quest. That was when I found no DVB-S channels were detected when I tried to scan for Quest. My temporary work around is to use the DVB-T SD version of Quest.<br />
After a reboot I have just scanned using the  supplied 28.2 file and my smaller regional 28.2West file. I used SAT&gt;IP tuners 2,3 &amp; 4 in turn and no channels detected!<br />
The problem also is that I cannot watch live TV if a DVB-S channel is being recorded!<br />
I can record 2 DVB-S channels at the same time.<br />
I can record DVB-S and DVB-T channel at the same time.<br />
The first Log file was while I tried to watch TV while a DVB-S channel was being recorded. The later log file shows later tests of DVB-T &amp; DVB-S channels so the earlier log may not be needed!<br />

For some reason the Irish version is called Quest HD but the UK HD version Quest. That was when I found no DVB-S channels were detected when I tried to scan for Quest. My temporary work around is to use the DVB-T SD version of Quest.<br />
After a reboot I have just scanned using the  supplied 28.2 file and my smaller regional 28.2West file. I used SAT&gt;IP tuners 2,3 &amp; 4 in turn and no channels detected!<br />
The problem also is that I cannot watch live TV if a DVB-S channel is being recorded!<br />
I can record 2 DVB-S channels at the same time.<br />
I can record DVB-S and DVB-T channel at the same time.<br />
The first Log file was while I tried to watch TV while a DVB-S channel was being recorded. The later log file shows later tests of DVB-T &amp; DVB-S channels so the earlier log may not be needed!<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Hi there,<br />
A week or so ago my EPG's started to fail completely. I tried manually refreshing them without luck. I deleted all my sources, still the EPG's would not update. I deleted the /opt/nextpvr directory to restart fresh. Did not seem to work, as after reinstalling it remembered all my login details.<br />
<br />
If I open in a browser the URL for the EPG, it takes a long time given the size but loads fine. In the app I use on my phone and my daughter uses on her iPad the EPG loads fine, it is just on next PVR.<br />
<br />
Can anyone assist me with resolving this?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I installed nextpvr on my laptop using the nextpvr-helper.deb file on Linux Mint 22.2.   From the setup screens I see the tuners (Hauppauge USB 1595 dual tuner) and successfully scan for channels.  I can update the program guide using the DVB/ATSC EPG.  I can record programs from that guide.  I can view channels using the VLC Open Network Stream option.<br />
<br />
What I can't get working is adding a schedules direct lineup.   I have been using schedules direct for many years with a desktop system at home running mythtv.  <br />
<br />
Starting from the channel list setup screen I select one of the channels (wrench icon on the far right), which brings up edit channel details.  I click on source then select ...add schedules direct lineup... which brings up a Add Schedules Direct Lineup window.   I enter the zip code and leaving north america - united states set I click on search.   The window then displays another listbox with the lineups that came back from schedules direct.  I scroll to the bottom and select the one that is named "antenna ... OTA-zipcode" and click on add lineup.  <br />
<br />
At that point I get a popup error window saying<br />
<br />
localhost:8866<br />
Invalid Username or Password<br />
OK<br />
<br />
That's as far as I can ever get.  A couple of times I have tried to select the lineup starting from the guide option instead of the channels option.   Whatever goes on there apparently "spams" schedules direct and exceeds their maximum of 10 IP addresses within 24 hours rule. <br />
<br />
What am I doing wrong here?]]></description>

I use this tuner on Windows 10 with no issues. I can’t figure out what ports need to be opened on ufw to make the tuner available. The tuner is a hdhomerun connect duo. I have tried this by installing with the Deb files method and the Docker method. If I can’t get this straightened out by fall I will reluctantly buy a Windows 11 machine before my Windows 10 ESU are expired. I also have a hdhomerun dual tuner which I believe is considered legacy. Any help would be greatly appreciated. <br />
Thank you in advance. Emmgee]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I've had a working RPi 5 setup using Kodi, LEC, Schedules Direct and NextPVR for 2 years until my microSD card died and took the established system down with it. Put a NVMe hat on it and got the system up and rebuilt from scratch. I have access to the OTA TV as before to watch and record. I'm using a separate laptop to get into the RPi with IP address:8866 to do the settings. The problem is with the EPG.<br />
<br />
I can get the DVB/ATSC listings but not with my Schedules Direct. Whenever I try to AutoMap (first with none and then) with Schedules Direct there is no change with anything on the screen. And the EPG stays as none. <br />
<br />
I've looked at selecting them manually and none of my channels match in the manual selections. I can pick one and it will change to that selection, but obviously won't pull up those listing because I don't have access to them. For instance: CBS2HD is in my channels all I can find are CBS News from different cities.<br />
<br />
I've read guides and info on this site and in this forum for someone with similar problems with no joy. I didn't have any real difficulty setting it up two years ago and confused why it's so difficult this time. I logged a ticket with Schedules Direct and my account isn't locked out and is available if I can sort out the issue here.<br />
<br />
I hope it is a switch somewhere that I'm not looking. I appreciate any advice.<br />
