Secondary Tuners for IPTV

I'm trying to move across from DVBLogic - and in that i add the same source multiple times and it links and merges the channels. Meaning different network devices can connect to different channels at once (or record one channel and watch one channel).

However in NextPVR if I try this, I get a "Unable to Find Available Capture Device"

I go into Settings and the Channel I'm trying to play and copy and play the link to VLC and it plays there no worries.

Next PVR Recording

Hi Everybody

I have a question regarding recordings, I am wanting to record a movie, but the movie has a ‘news broadcast’ in the middle of it as indicated in the picture.

Name: example.PNG Views: 11 Size: 4.0 KB

Do I need to set a ‘once off’ recording to record the whole movie or do I need to record ‘both parts’ of the movie either side of the news broadcast?

When I tested this and recorded the first part it recorded but did not record the second part.

When I record both parts then Kodi shows two icons in Movies section for the same movie even when using the combine feature in Kodi.

If you can shed any light on this I would be grateful.

Thanks

Digital Devices Cine S2 - 'Failed to start device: 0x80004005'

Hello!

I am thinking about replacing the MediaPortal TV Server with NextPVR.

  1. So I disabled the MPTVService
  2. restarted the PC
  3. installed NextPVR
  4. launched NextPVR
  5. and tried to do a tv channel scan



Sadly NextPVR throws the error 'Failed to start device' for all of my 2 Digital Devices Cine S2

Anyone an idea what is going on here? Logs are attached.

*edit*
I have also attached an image of what the graph looks like that the Media Portal TV Server builds for the Digital Device Cine S2. Not sure why the NPVR log says 'No BDA capture filter for this device' as MP uses BDA as well as you can see.

NPVR Service Seemingly Locks up at end of recording when recording on multiple tuners

March 22, 2018, 2:03 pm

I have searched and not found a similar problem.

I have been set up with NextPVR for a couple of years and have started having a problem recently that I cannot figure out. Any help would surely be appreciated.

My setup

Windows 10
NextPVR 4.10
2 Hauppauge DualHD USB Tuners and a single WinTV 950q. All recording ATSC off antenna
Using NextPVR as a backend ATSC tuner for Kodi

Basically everything was working fine until a few weeks ago. I would record multiple programs at the same time almost every night.
At some point, any time multiple programs recorded at the same time, at the end of the recording a few things would happen.
1. The recordings would be in the list, but would have either the error "Recording Service was stopped during the recording" or "No error, but no data delivered. This is usually because the device failed to lock a signal". It is possible the second error is due to weak signal on the tuner, but it shouldn't cause the following issue.
2. Any subsequent program would not record with the message "Recording Service not running at recording time"
3. The taskbar running (N) icon would be red even when no recording was taking place at that time. If you try to right click to check the status, nothing will happen
4. If you manually try and restart the NPVR Recording Service, it times out as it will not stop
5. If you try to reboot the PC, you are stopped by windows telling you that NPVR was currently recording even though no recording is shown in the guide or recordings tab

You can restart the PC and everything will be back to normal and work correctly until a multiple recording instance happens and it would go back to the NPVR service locking up again.

I figured it was just a one off thing, so I decided to completely redo my computer from scratch with a fresh Windows install.
I reinstalled everything and tried the multiple recordings at the same time and everything worked great again......
Until last night when it started acting up again. 3/21/18 at the end of the 7:00 hour recordings

Before I restore to see if that fixes the problem I was hoping yall could look at the logs and tell me if there is something that changes that causes this. No windows updates happen prior to this or anything. Just seems to happen out of the blue.

The way I have been testing is on a fresh restart, I do 4 manual recordings for 10 minutes of 4 different channels. All recordings start and seem to record fine. Only at the end of the recording, do the errors show up and the service freezes.


Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You

:confused:
I have been using NextPVR a couple months. Things were going okay until I canceled a recurring recording program. Now I get a message every 10 - 15 minutes telling me it needs to use the tuner and to exit to the menu. There is NOTHING recording. I've tried fooling it and recording multiple programs at the same time, clearing & reinstalling the channels, restarting many times, etc. I thought I had it once, but nope, it pops up and I loose the program I was watching. I don't want to delete all the recurring recording programs I have set up unless it's going to fix the issue. I very frustrated. Please give me some instructions on how to get this to stop. I have Windows 10, 64 bit. Thanks VERY MUCH for help.

NextPVR worked great, until it didn't

I have been using NextPVR for a couple of weeks now on my Windows 10 64 bit PC. Yesterday morning the program did not launch when I clicked on the icon. I tried a bunch of things to no avail, so I uninstalled and re-installed. During install I get two errors:

1) NRecord has stopped working

StackOverflowException

2) See attached.

When I close out of the second error, install continues and I get a "Installation completed successfully" message

When I try to run the program, once again nothing happens.

I don't see any Windows updates on my PC, I didn;t install anything new on my own and the log is empty.

Any ideas?

NextPVR very slow when db contains zillions of recordings

Sloppy housekeeping on my part may not be a crisis for anyone else.

My failure to delete the recordings that I never got around to watching means that I now have about 3,000 recordings in the database (... I have started to get rid of them, honest).

NextPVR takes about 30 seconds to display the TV Guide and about the same to switch between views in Recordings. This is not an issue for me because I use TV Listings (for the scrollable programme description) and TV Listings/TV Recordings displays everything without delay.

I see this in the npvr.log ...

There is, for example, a lengthy interval at 16:48:21.

The attached logs show an identical events first displaying the Guide and then displaying each of the views in Recordings.

It might be that this doesn't qualify as something that needs fixing ... and that is fine by me.

I am having trouble generating a conflict recording to test my code. I tried to schedule a conflict but nextpvr would not let me do it. I also tried reducing the number of turners to see if that would generate one. No go.

Any ideas on how to generate a conflict recording that will result in
/services?method=recording.list&filter=conflict
generating some output?

Thanks

NPVR now unable to record many Freeview UK HD/H264 channels

Hi, my first post and I'm in need of help! :(

For many years, I've used NPVR, without any major problems. My current configuration is a Vista box with two DVB-T cards: Hauppauge Win TV MOD7700 DVB-T and TBS 6281 DVB-T2 - this had worked fine for over 12 months, till last night, when I attempted to record several programmes that were broadcast on HD and SD (H264) channels. Once the recordings had finished, NPVR would then report a failure as follows, "No errors, but no data delivered. This is usually because the device failed to lock a signal" and when I check the relevant folder(s), there is a zero byte file.

Before posting, I searched through the forum and tried some of the solutions that had worked for others - disabling the firewall, deleting the tuners and rescanning and also a complete purge of NPR from the computer and then reinstalling the latest release. None of this troubleshooting has made any difference. Can anyone offer any pointers please? I have of course, attached my logs. :)

Thanks!

Anybody had problem playing final recorded TS file?

March 23, 2018, 9:05 pm

I noticed that final recorded file is TS file.
I play it with VLC, MPV, etc..
About 30-50% of time I get bad TS file.
Skip, freeze, wrong time shown, fastforward/back skip too much or not work. etc..
When I convert to MP4 with ffmpeg, duration is reduced (meaning) some bad parts in TS.
But MP4 plays with video/audio out sync, but fastforward/back, time, duration all work fine.

It's not my internet, or source of tv channels. I will detail later, if need.
It must be something to do when NPVR access and record, download tv channel, then make TS file.

It's not corrupt file, I see file size, duration, and TS file plays but with problems I mentioned.

So before I share more details, I like to know if others here had such problems before?
If so what was problem? solution?

Kodi 18 on Windows 10.

I can watch NextPVR for a while then suddenly it freezes and the message "tuner not available" pops up. No scheduled recordings, plenty of space on hard drive for buffer. The only way to get it back seems to be restart Kodi.

Hi,





UK, Mendip transmitter.

At 12:00 pm today 23rd, I saw an EPG update occurring. Looking at the logs (enclosed) it seems to scan okay the multiple channels.

But looking at the guide, it did not update any guide entries past next Monday (25th). That was blank from monday on.

Doing a manual one via settings did update the EPG.

Here are the ndigital host log with the right date, and the NPVR log file. I was wondering if you can see anything obv. CollectEIT is true.

Thanks

I see some are using NPVRTSReade4.ax and Microsoft Runtime file.
So I downloaded NPVRTSReade4.ax file. I assume it's an application but I can't open it.
When I try open it windows 10 ask what application I wanna use? even gave me VLC as a choice.
It must be an application where I put bad TS file and magic happens.

So what do I do after I downloaded NPVRTSReade4.ax in my computer?

TS and PART file? Download/recording tv streams

March 24, 2018, 3:27 pm
$

As I search how to download/record live streams, I see few words used often.
I read thru this forum few hours, and learned few things about downloading streams.
TS, PMT/PAT. How corrupt PMT will not play TS files.
NPVR is TS player, etc....

Before NPVR I been using "stream downloaders" that downloads PART files then append/aggregate into final MP4.
Then I see NPVR final file is TS but plays in other media players.

I am only a simple end user, not coder, little tech knowledge about downloading, TS, encoder, etc...
So here are few curious questions. I may not even be posing questions correctly.

1. Is PART file same as TS? Or TS part of PART files? NO such file as PART but only TS files?
Downloader I used sometimes has PART file extension but I can't play in any media player.
I guess cus incomplete download?
This tells me PART and TS are separate files?

2. "NextPVR is just recording a dump of whatever comes from the device"
I see NPVR final file is TS that can be played.
So is NVPR downloading many small TS files in a container called sample.ts file?
so as long as PMT is good then any players can play NPVR TS file?

3. Downloaders I used has final MP4, So are they "converting" "append/aggregating" TS into MP4?
Why don't NPVR give final MP4 instead of TS? just asking.

4. What does "append" " aggregate" PART chunks into MP4 mean?
Is there programs for this? or chunks are just added to a container with file extension TS or MP4?
