Web access password issue

I am not sure if this query should be here or in the NEWA discussion, sorry.

I am running NextPVR 3.9.2 on a Windows 10 PC and can access the guide etc from another PC on the network. What I can't do is access the stuff from outside the network, regardless of what username/password combination I enter. I have a DDNS registered with no-ip.org and port forwarding is set up through to 8866 on the NPVR server. Using Chrome on Android, I can see the login screen via the DDNS service but it consistently returns username/password invalid even after altering the info, restarting the service and even rebooting the PC. Although it shouldn't matter, I also tried it without success with the server firewall completely turned off.

It isn't a case-sensitivity issue - everything was entered in lower case both in the Clients section of NPVR setup and on the login screen via Chrome. I'm baffled but suspect that I am doing something simple wrong, so feel free to call me stupid if you have a solution.

being the geeky gadget addict that I am, I want to start messing with some OTA Digital TV with NPVR.

The below device caught my eye

Will this work with NPVR?

My guess is "Yes", but I just want to be sure before I go and order it

I have a fresh install of Win10 Pro (1703). Installed WinTV8 to get the latest DCR2650 drivers. Got NVPR installed and setup. Was working fine with the DCR2650 this morning. This evening, I launched NVPR; I see tuner light come on and the channel name displays in upper left corner of window. Then nothing - just a blank screen. I doubled checked all the codecs. Everything is same as earlier. Any suggestions?

TV Recorded Show Listing Disappeared

I have two Kodi 17.3 machines (W10Pro 64). One of them is running NPVR 3.9.2 as recording server. I had a strange issue after trying out using Kodi on Fire TV. (Fire TV is not being used anymore.)

The TV Recorded Show Listing would disappear after watched and exit a recorded show in Kodi. This happened on both Kodi machines as well as Fire TV with Kodi. (The issue started when trying the Kodi on Fire TV the first time.) The TV Recorded Show Listing would be restored after restarted Kodi. The issue did not happen when I watched and exit a recorded show in NPVR client.

I think Kodi on Fire TV (when it was used) might have corrupted something (which linked between Kodi and NPVR) in the recording server; but not sure what that is.

Any suggestion and help are greatly appreciated.

Over the Air Auto Update EPG Issue

Hi guys,

I am from Australia, using NEXTPVR as a backend for Kodi. I have been running into an issue with the auto update for EPG. When I manually run it, it works perfectly and can see all the information in the NEXTPVR guide. However when it does the auto update (which I have verified with updateepg.bat creating a log) the guide is not completely filled in. Any advice would be great.

EPG doesn't fully update.

I am using DVB EPG. The server sleeps when not in use and wakes at 06:30 to refresh the guide. Often only one channel group is updated, the other groups display as "no show details" - see attachment guide.jpg

I note that logfile ndigitalhost-25.log is created when the machine wakes at 06:30. It begins updating the EPG - finding provider:Ten Melbourne. Program details for 'Ten Melbourne' group appear in the guide.

Logging then shifts to the older ndigitalhost-24.log, and finds further providers: SBS,ABC,C31,Seven Network,Nine Network. However, none of these details appear in the guide.

Seems like a silly question and I have tried to search.....but I cannot figure out how when watching Live TV to get the bottom third of the screen channel info and program info to go away so that I can watch the channel full screen. Windows 10 LAV audio/video filters.

thanks.

Update EPG Schedule?

I am using EPGCollector to grab OTA EPG data into an XMLTV format, and this works good for me an has the great bonus of actually being free.

I have 1 major issue though, this OTA data only grabs anywhere from 3 to 6 hours worth of data. I can schedule the XML file to be updated 4 times a day, but it seems NextPVR will only load this XML file once a day?

Is there anyway to get NextPVR to load XMLTV data more frequently?

Cannot enable time shift on Android

Hello,

I am currently running the latest version of NextPVR on a Windows 10 machine as the host. I am able to successfully access it using Kodi 17.3 from other windows machines and timeshift works. I used to be able to access it from my Odroid running the Libreelec also with no issues.

I recently moved, and when I reconnected everything I am unable to use NextPVR from the Odroid with timeshift enabled. As soon as I tune to a channel it freezes and returns a "tuner not available" error. If I disable timeshift, everything works normally. I thought it might be a problem with the Odroid not having access to the directory the buffer is stored in, but I gave it the same sharing permissions as the other shared folders.

I've attached my logs, if anyone has an idea of what else to try, I would appreciate it.

Thanks!

NextPVR to send alerts and notices via "Pushover.net"

How about NextPVR can send alerts to your phone or other devices and computers via pushover APP and browser plugins. I've been using "Pushover" for completed processed recordings through VAP videoredo and WMC. Works awesome.

All kinds of issues with Live TV

Setup
------

Recorder/Server:
Custom Built Windows Server Essentials 2012 R2
3 Tuner Cards, all Hauppauge, various analog and digital capabilities
Time Warner/Spectrum Standard Cable Ready service (we have digital HD with PVR, but only cable ready to the server), picks up about 70 channels
HD OTA Antenna picks up about 14 channels
Tuner cards and drivers all tested and working with SoftPVR
48tb Free Storage in Drive Pool used for overflow
120gb Dedicated SSD for NPVR
NPVR version 3.7.7

Player/Client:
Kodi 17.3 Krypton
NPVR plugin version 2.4.13.1
Connected on same network via Gigabit Ethernet (not wireless)

Problem
--------

History:
Everything was crazy complicated to get set up. I'm using (was it called?) Schedules Direct for EPG data. After a week or two of troubleshooting and banging my head on the wall I finally got it all working. Everything was going great. The system downloaded EPG like it should. It recorded TV Shows I scheduled to record. They all play back like they should. Even Live TV was working. Then I started doing more watching of stuff I downloaded, or stuff I could stream with my Netflix account. I neglected NPVR for a good 6-8 months. Every now and then, I would check to see if anything new had recorded, and it wasn't recording anything. Lately, I've just chalked it up as being the summer season and all my shows I watch are on break. But earlier today we had a string of thunderstorms come through the area and I wanted to watch our local news channel to see if they had a radar up and was talking about it. Well, that's when I realized my system isn't working like it should. I can browse the EPG with no problem, so that part at least still seems to be working right. But if I try to pick a channel to watch (not record) all I get is a black screen on my client.. It's like the server isn't transmitting the stream. However,, if I hit the STOP button on my remote, it will very quickly display a single frame of whatever was playing before returning me to the EPG. I did some further testing, and discovered it is doing this on all of my HD channels. Regardless if it's OTA or picked up through the cable company. If I switch to an SD channel, it works fine.

So is there something wrong with the versions I'm using? Was there some addition/subtraction to the code I need to fix? Some setting that got whacked? I just don't know what to do. I checked all the settings on the server side and they look correct based on what I remember seeing when it worked before. The only settings in the Client's addon is stuff like the Hostname, port, and pin. I suppose that could have gotten messed up. But the SD stuff and the EPG works so clearly the communication is there.

Any ideas? Here's a copy of my logs for you guys to look over if you think it'll help. Hopefully I've provided enough information. If you need more, just ask. I'm eager to make this work again.

Can't detect Hauppauge WinTV PVR 500

Disclaimer: Just starting to jump into the the PVR world.

I just received my Hauppauge WinTV PVR 500 tuner from ebay and dropped it in. Then had Windows 10 install the driver and it looked ok from the perspective of Device Manager. But in NextPVR, it's not listed as a device. I only see "IPTV Device". Is this card too old to use? I also don't have a WinTV installation disk, as again, the card is from ebay. Logs attached. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Repeatable problem - tuner not found/freeze

July 9, 2017, 8:26 am

Have been having problems for a long time now and it's just got to the point where it's frustrating having to deal with.

Every morning without fail, we boot up the PC with kodi installed on it. We have it set to autostart Kodi upon start up, along with nextpvr.

Kodi boots up (17.3) and the TV programs turn on. After not too long (3-4 mins at a guess), the whole TV show freezes and we have to reboot the PC.
Upon rebooting, the same process takes place, but this time there is no freezing and we can watch the TV as normal.

I'm not certain, but I did a little bit of digging a while back and was under the impression that the EPG updates could be the cause of this. Hopefully this doesn't throw anyone off being able to help.

Secondly, (and this didn't cause a problem under Kodi 16), with the update to 17.3 we now have the TV tuners dropping off as soon as we switch modes to go to the menu screen of Kodi. The error message continually pops up, and although I haven't tested it, I believe that any recording programs at the time would fail.

Any tips would be awesome. I took a log so hopefully can see what the issue may be.

NscriptHelper - still working?

Been playing with nscripthelper to do some renames (move db entries from one location to another). But I seem to be having issues with the filenames.

In the DB under scheduled_recordings.filename I'm only getting a partial name: U:\Recordings\The Simpsons\The Simpsons_20170710_1

Am I missing something, and is it actually storing the entire name?

Then if I do a rename on either the partial or full name, it complains it can't find it.

i have a win7 pc set up with npvr, my media and a common mysql library for my kodi boxes, as i work full time and spend maybe a few hours a day watching stuff through kodi i decided i would have this go to sleep when not in use to save on the bills. iv been playing with 'wake on lan' to wake up this pc when kodi needs it. this has been giving me all sorts of problems.

It appears that something the npvr add on is doing is causing me problems. if i turn off the npvr addon in kodi, i can reliably let the computer go to sleep and the wol kicks in and fires up the pc as it should. but it seems like the add on is trying to connect to the sleeping computer without waking it which cause kodi to try and read the mysql database without waking up the computer and after 5 unsuccessful attempts at reading this database kodi then stops trying to read the database until i reboot kodi.

Advice on adequate hardware for new build

July 10, 2017, 6:51 pm

I'm about to embark on a journey to cut the cable company. So I'm going to build a dedicated PC to run NextPVR and Kodi and need some advice on what hardware is most important for a good experience.

These are the uses I plan for it:

- NextPVR server
- Schedule recordings
- Connected to an internal digital antenna to get over the air digital cable (about 150 channels)
- Plan to connect to a dual tv tuner
- Watch shows recorded from NextPVR, Hulu, Netflix, etc...and others on network sites

These are the specs I'm thinking:

- Small form factor to fit the media center cabinet
- 16 GB RAM
- Intel i5 proc
- Decent to high-end video card
- Hauppauge USB dual tuner (http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_dualhd.html)
- Store recordings to external USB 3 drive
- Connected to the router via cable

What do you guys think? From what I understand, the video card and disk drive is the most important. Should I get a high end card or will that hit the point of diminishing returns? Disk space is cheap unless I need solid state. Do I need solid state?

I think heat and power consumption should also be a consideration of mine.

I'd like to build something that wouldn't need any upgrades for at least 3 years.
