Is there a way of getting artwork by show, or is it only by recording id?

Ie: http://server:8866/service?method=re...recording_id=%

I'm trying to look for something for when I don't have access to the reocrding id (ie after reading the recording xml file.)
eg:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<recording>
  <filename>\\aragorn\Recordings\Britains Got Talent\Britains Got Talent_20170708_19002000.ts</filename>

Manual Scheduling

July 11, 2017, 9:13 am

I've written the SQL statement below to retrieve programs rows from EPG_EVENT. Essentially, it retrieves unique(DISTINCT) rows having a title starting with "ncis" and a subtitle starting with "b", without regard to time or channel. It returns 6 rows. It returns 18 rows without the DISTINCT keyword and includes duplicates scheduled at different times.

SELECT DISTINCT title, subtitle FROM EPG_EVENT WHERE title LIKE "ncis%" AND subtitle LIKE "b%"

How can I tell NextPVR to find these same distinct rows and schedule the programs returned? How do I get NextPVR to do this at each EPG download?

Hope someone can help.

Thanks.

Unhandled exeption when ticking "bulk map"

I'm having the same issue that I've seen quite a few people having. Where bulk mapping will not even populate. So I have no option to even apply Schedules Direct to all channels. I have no problem doing it one at a time. But like I said when I tic bulk map I get an error that's states click continue to try to resolve the issue. The bulk map screen comes up but no channels, it's completely blank. Unless I click the merge channels button. Then it populates, but it won't let me add the Schedules Direct to all channels. It will do one at a time but the little pop up that says apply this to all, never pops up. I seen the patch and downloaded it. But I don't know how to install it. Can someone please post complete directions on installing the patch. Sorry if it's a very dumb question. But I'm a very much a noobie.

I am using 2 hdhr primes 6 tuners. In the device tab it sees all the tuners.
EPG124 & Schedules Direct is my guide
Windows 7 professional pc
I'm also using kodi on multiple tvs and I want to incorporate the nextPVR that I'm setting up now into Each one of them. Is that possible?

Re-record Failures

Because my rules are all only record new, none of the reruns for failed recordings are scheduled. I was thinking of writing a utility do fix this but it might be better to have it as core functionality especially for Schedules Direct users. I envision the process would have two parts,

1. When a recording is marked failed in post processing, check for an upcoming matching unique_id and re-schedule it

2. in the daily scheduling, for all failures check to see if a failed unique_id is available in the guide and not also a "good" recording schedule it

Windows 10 Update killed newa access?

I've got firewall allowed, but npvr server doesn't seem to show up in the firewall logs, but I did have the firewall turned off and still no joy. I'd just upgraded from to 3.9 and beyond.

It works on the machine to localhost, but even on the machine I can't access it via the machine name. Other network things are working (ie shares etc). Has some authentication/network authentication potentially changed/affecting me? Ie the application not the machine is stopping me from accessing?

NextPVR Web Application Audio Stream

July 13, 2017, 4:27 pm

Hello, I have just installed NextPVR and seem to be having an odd issue with audio streams. I am based in the UK and am trying to watch Film4, two audio streams are being broadcast - English (eng) and a descriptive soundtrack (NAR). In the Windows Application, I can chose between the streams and I have found out how I can select (eng) as the default language in the config.xml file. No worries with the Windows App.

However, when playing Film4 in a Web Browser (http://127.0.0.1:8866 - Chrome, IE etc) I only get the descriptive soundtrack (NAR) playing and when you select the settings button, there is nothing other than default as the Audio Stream. As you can imagine, it is not ideal watching TV with the descriptive soundtrack (NAR) so it's not really usable this way. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Help would be appreciated!

New Install - Nothing but static

I just lost a hard drive and had to install everything fresh. I am running Windows 10 v15063 and using a Hauppage HVR 1600. Everything was working great before the drive failed but now I can't get NPVR to work even though everything appears to be set up correctly.

All I get is static from the LiveTV and recordings (it does record just fine) produce nothing but static as well. No combination of renderer/decoders seems to make any difference. It has been ages since I set up NPVR but in the past I believe it "just worked" for me and I don't recall fiddling with anything.

I have no idea where to start. Can someone nudge me in the right direction?

Unable to Communicare with Recording Service

I have dealt with this numerous times in the past by restoring to a previous Windows 10 restore point. This happens to me just about every Windows update but this is the huge Create update and I am not anxious to do this dance for that long if there is an alternative. Logs attached for this instance of this issue.
Everything works fine in this regard until a Windows update. I can't find the issue here. It persists even though I refreshed the AverTV driver.

Thanks for any help. Logs attached.

No Surround sound

Does NVPR support 5.1 audio? I have my system setup as 7.1 and majority of the cable channels I watch are 5.1. Yet I only hear audio from L/R speakers. Does NPVR support surround sound or does it convert to stereo? And yes, Control Panel is set correctly and all speakers work. I use MPC-HC for playing files and it definitely uses all speakers.

Hi - new to the forums :-)

I believe nextpvr ( STANDALONE) can configure and use analog FM tuners so as to receive FM radio.

IF this is set up on th nextpvr backend,, will the FM channels show up using the Kodi nextpvr Client??

Many Thanks

added new channel but cant get epg to fill out with data

Hi. I think I must have forgotten something as I have not done this for a while. recently a local tv atsc tv station added channel 7.4 Grit tv which I picked up on a rescan. However the DVB/ATSC epg details for this channel dont display. However I can see it on my normal tv so it is there....

after following up with zap2xml I got them to add it to their database and their web pages shows the tv programs ok for 7.4. so I thought I would switch from dvb/atsc to xmltv and renewed the xmltv file, updated the epg details and ... still says no program details.

whats up with this? what am I not doing right?

The only odd thing here is that 29.3 used to be grit tv and it moved to 7.4 while a new channel appeared on 29.3 charge tv. I had some problems here as 29.3 would not show correct content either via xmltv until I changed the name of the channel on 29.3 in the details.. but now it is ok.

Is this related somehow?

Some HD channels not showing guide.

I have 2 hdhr prime tuners with 2 cable cards. I'm using schedules direct with epg123 for my epg. In the nextpvr settings under devices I scanned for channels and it found just about all my channels on my cable cards. When I go to channels and set all my channels to schedules direct. I noticed that a few of the channels that it found in the devices tab are not listed in the channels tab. Funny thing is it found them in Standard definition just not high def. the couple of channels that I noticed missing are 621 National Geographic, 622 science channel and 623 investigation discovery. I performed a rescan of the devices and updated the epg but nothing changes. I am also using schedules direct for my guide in WMC via epg123. And I have all my channels there. I am using Verizon FIOS in New York City.

I just reinstalled NPVR all I can get is the modern NEWA.

1) Is there a way to get the old version back?

2) If not, can someone tell me how to search for episodes in the modern one?

EDIT: Scratch item one... found that in the NPVR config. However, item two I don't see and prevents me from using modern

acting as client not working

Hi All,
I've set my NPVR installation to act as a client.
I've entered the settings correctly and can confirm that with the server / share name I can access the NPVR directory from the remote machine.
However, each time I start NPVR on the client, I get a message to say that communcation with the server name can't be made.
I've attached the NPVR log from the client, but I can't see any error in there.
Any ideas?!
Thanks in advance.

HaupBlast.exe Enhancement

On many occasions, I have been disappointed when I look forward to a new recording from my HD-PVR only to discover that a minor power glitch during the night turned it off!

I would like to suggest a new command line switch that will tell HaupBlast.exe to send a Power On command to the blaster, delay(?), then send the channel.

Thanks...

Kodi 17.3 X-NEWA Setup Issues

July 18, 2017, 9:36 am

Hi,

I am setting up a new Android box running Kodi 17.3
to interface with my existing NextPVR setup
but I'm having a couple of issues.

I can successfully use the Kodi Videos option to play
recordings via smb and commercial skipping works perfectly.

However when I use X-NEWA, I cannot play streamed recordings.
They always start buffering but fail with "Player Error".
I have an advancedsettings.xml file that should,
as I understand things, automatically switch
X-NEWA from http to smb playback.
But it appears to be ineffective when I try to play
a recording via the NextPVR Recordings menu.
Have I got advancedsettings setup wrong?
How do I fix these buffering/player errors?

These log extracts show both successful (via smb)
and unsuccessful (via http) tests of The Daily Show:

kodi.log:

My related question, if I use X-NEWA to playback Recordings
via the NextPVR Videos option, is commercial skipping supposed
to work when the recordings are no longer in npvr.db3?
I frequently move recordings to alternate directories
which causes them to be removed from the NextPVR Recordings list.

My full logs, advancedsettings.xml, config, etc. are available here:

EPG chage reoccuring recordings broken

July 19, 2017, 5:17 pm

Hello, I tried searching but I couldn't find it (and I hope I haven't asked this before)

I recently changed my EPG source, not my actual service. So channels are the same but names are slightly different and I have more channels importing now too. Since I imported the new channels and updated the EPG, reoccurring recordings seem like they know what channel they are using but actually don't. I've had this happen before but just redid my recordings.

For example:
Lets say I'm recording Archer it should look like:
Archer
1128 FXHD
10 - 10:30 Thurs

However now it looks like:
Archer
0 - 1128 FXHD
10 - 10:30 Thurs

The tell is the channel being 0 - 1128 (the last number changes depending on what the actual channel was)

Is there anything to do besides recreate the item? I've got a few set for shows that no longer air but sometimes they do besides I'd like to not cleanup and redo my schedules :D Also would I be able to change the channel if I change providers?

Thank you.
