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(?).

I have a AVM Fritzbox cable router which provides 4 IPTV devices. Nextpvr finds all four devices correctly. In the past with NextPVR version 6.x scanning for channels worked very well, but now after I had to re-install my server the NextPVR scan fails (version 7.x). The port 8866 is set correctly.

When scanning the German Full Cable Spectrum (6.900MBd SR, QAM 256) the letters [PAT] [PMT] [SDT] [BAT] do appear from time to time and my Fritzbox GUI in parallel displays that a client is watching a certain TV channel, but none of these channels gets stored by NextPVR - so the list remains empty and NextPVR finally shows "0 channels found".

Attached you'll find the logfiles.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot in advance!

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.

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:
/usr/bin/comskip
/usr/share/doc/comskip
/usr/share/doc/comskip/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/comskip/copyright
/usr/share/man/man1/comskip.1.gz

/usr/share/nodejs/prismjs/components/prism-docker.js
/usr/share/nodejs/prismjs/components/prism-docker.min.js

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?

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.

I am using a four port DiSEqC connected to three LNBs (port four is not used).

Port 1: 19.2 Astra 1
Port 2: 28.2 Astra 2
Port 3: 23.5 Astra 3
Port 4: -

When I start Scanning, it seems to be working fine.
When checking the DiSEqC, I can see that it is using Port 1.
NextPVR finds over 600 channels, which is okay for Astra 1.

Then the channelcounter (Channels found ...) starts over. First the count disappears, then it comes back with a low count.
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!
The LED on port 1 is still emitting light, so DiSEqC has not switched to Port 2.

After over 30 minutes it is still scanning 12168000 kHz and number of channels is stable at 44. Seems like NextPVR is stalled.

With same hardware, Linux and same dvb-driver and Tuner, I have tested this exact same setup with MythTV and TVheadEnd.
Both work fine controlling the the DiSEqC.
I could just use MythTV or TVheadEnd but I prefer to use NextPVR.

Seems like NextPVR does not send the command to switch the DiSEqC port.

Is this a known issue? Is there a solution for this issue ?

If I get the program information from an external TV Guide using my Web Browser, then I can program and record manually using the Scheduler to enter the Time, duration, Channel, etc.

In other words, my Computer (hardware and software), Dual Channel Tuner, Antenna, everything else seems to be working ok.]]> <![CDATA[Server working as normal but DVB-S scan finds No channels]]> https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?tid=66939 Sun, 12 Apr 2026 18:55:23 +0000 jcjefferies]]> https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?tid=66939 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.
After a reboot I have just scanned using the supplied 28.2 file and my smaller regional 28.2West file. I used SAT>IP tuners 2,3 & 4 in turn and no channels detected!
The problem also is that I cannot watch live TV if a DVB-S channel is being recorded!
I can record 2 DVB-S channels at the same time.
I can record DVB-S and DVB-T channel at the same time.
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 & DVB-S channels so the earlier log may not be needed!

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.

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.

Can anyone assist me with resolving this?]]> A week or so ago my EPG's started to fail completely. I tried manually refreshing them without luck.

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.

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.

At that point I get a popup error window saying

localhost:8866
Invalid Username or Password
OK

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.

What am I doing wrong here?]]>
