It appears that Schedules Direct is not currently updating its data ...

http://forums.schedulesdirect.org/vi...hp?f=18&t=2919

I don't appear to be getting data for some channels including, for example, BBC One HD.

The trusty rkulagow at SD is on the case but the problem seems to be two days old.

UK EPG Program Listing

≫ Next: unable to find available capture device

≪ Previous: Schedules Direct is Broken

Please can someone advice me on how I get the EPG to display in the UK format:
Chan 1: BBC 1
Chan 2: BBC 2
Chan 3: ITV
Chan 4: Channel 4
Chan 5: Channel 5
these have been the first five for all my time on this earth but now I seem to get all BBC channels including some radio stations at the top and then others. Don't see ITV until around the 20th channel and even news channels don't match the conventional format I've known all throughout my life.

I can get all the channels but they just don't display in the correct order since I did a reinstall and OS upgrade over the weekend. My previous install just added the channels in the correct order without any additional config needed.

Thanks in anticipation

I have setup the NPVR to use a Ceton Infinity Cablecard and it was workin g before but recently needed to rebuild my OS.
I attached the logs and hoping someone can help to determine what the issue is. I did restart the PC several times and still getting the same error.

Thanks in advance.

≪ Previous: unable to find available capture device

I recently started playing around with KODI on my client pc (I still like NPVR better). When I then tried to play some of my digital music files on my client, they wouldn't play. They are almost all flac files. The files are there, if I try playing them from file mgr., they play and they play on my server pc using NPVR. Any ideas what's happened and what I can do about it? By the way, they will also play on my client pc if I use KODI.

≪ Previous: Recording Problem

I seem to be having a problem recording the PBS Newshour Weekend. Each show should be 30 minutes but I added an additional 30 mins of post padding.

Each time, the recording creates an unusable file that is very short (10 or 35 MB). The longer file plays for a 1:21 in Kodi and VLC. The shorter file won't play in either program.

The sections of the log file for the recording times in question is attached. The full logs are also included.

≪ Previous: Win 10 disabling Recording Service

Strangest thing, suddenly my EPG missing data on some channels and only 6 days out. This has been ongoing for a week and I just figured it would resolve itself, but it is getting worse. I use Schedules Direct and it works fine on WMC but not NPVR.

When I force update just now I get error "Date Requested (2017-07-04) not within 2017-06-14 -> 2017-06-15 sta"

I haven't made any changes to settings in months and using latest version, so this is really baffling. Any ideas to fix?

Wake timer in the past?

I'm monitoring when the NPVR PC wakes and saw that after the last recording of the "day/night" has finishes and the system went to sleep it wakes within 10 seconds without any recording being requested.

This is the output from the system event log showing sleep/wake (I added a powerdebug even to show the cause of waking) in reverse order.

You will notice that the system sleeps at 03:46:28 and is awake again at 03:47:28 (after updating the system time) and the wake cause was a timer set by NRecord

Looking at the NRecord log for that first wakeup (the intended recording wake)

i have been plagued with kodi never refreshing the recorded shows list unless i restarted kodi.

i think i have found the issue.

it seems network related. my house is networked and my nextpvr box is in the basement. it goes thru a high-end switch in that room and then to my office and thru a cheap switch.

if i bypass that cheap switch then npvr refreshes as expected.

i note that sniffing the packets using wireshark, those packets to retrieve the list of recorded shows (via web service recording.list) would result in reset acks back from the server when going thru the cheap office switch. So the actual list of record shows was not received.

thought this might help others out there.

i can provide the actual network packets if anyone wants.

≪ Previous: Recording list not refreshing in Kodi: fixed!!!

I've built a new AMD machine, and would like to move the TV tuner card over to it, and NextPVR. However, I don't want to go through the hassle of re-discovering and editing all the channels including setting up EPG.

What are all the files I need to move over to make a seamless migration over to the new PC?

Thanks,

with this call:
http://server:8866/service?method=channel.list

Is there a flag I can set to say order by device type? Or do I need to create a group of channels, and get a group id posted in the url to restrict to a device type (ie a colossus)?

Optimum v Verizon

June 20, 2017, 8:18 am

≫ Next: FM streaing through web interface

≪ Previous: Unhandled Exception When Click On Devices and Channels in the Settings Menu

Verizon charges are getting out of hand with my bill reaching nearly $200/mo. Granted I have excellent service but I am considering moving to Optimum and saving at least $60/mo.

I have two burning questions regarding using cable cards with Optimum. My current setup with Verizon works very well with mostly Fox channels NOT marked as "copy-freely." I use a set top box for those. I know that HDHomeRun will return digital rights management(DRM) status by channel when asked to "Detect Channels." Hauppauge DCR-3250 does not. HDHomeRun also returns the encoding by channel as either MPEG2 or h.264. Again, DCR-3250 does not.

My Optimum service area for the channel lineup I believe is identified as Dutchess County in the Mid Hudson Region.

Questions:

1) Does anyone in forum-land know how Optimum stacks up as far as "copy-freely" channels?

2) Can anyone offer a list of the channel lineup as reported by HDHomeRun that shows encoding?

I would greatly appreciate if some one in this Optimum service area would upload the <HDHomeRunDeviceIP>/Lineup.xml file created by detecting channels. That file will have all the information I need to help me decide on moving to Optimum.

Many thanks.
