I'm having a problem with closed captions.
If I play the file in VLC or WIN10 Movies & TV, the captions appear.
If I try it in NEXTPVR I don't see them.
It's from an IPTV stream that I recorded.
I am using a Hauppauge WinTV-DualHD usb stick with a built-in DVB-C tuner to watch unencrypted public digital cable tv. This has been working fine last month until Ziggo did some network maintainance in Amsterdam area.
Now whenever i start NextPVR i get black screens. I deleted the old channels, tried to scan the channels again, but i can't find any of them now. I was using the Ziggo Amsterdam profile before. Can someone please update the "Netherlands - Ziggo - Amsterdam (Noord-Holland).ini" file?
I have tried automatic scan and manual scan without luck (see screenshots). Last pic shows the channels i expect and when everthing was working fine.
While watching recordings, the recording service has crashed a couple of times in the last several days. The recordings I was watching were not currently being recorded. I will attempt to attach the log files. A message flashed past too fast to read. It stated something about "remote recording service" (I think). The Windows 10 PC has been rebooted.
Comment: I note the Nextpvr recording service is not set to automatically restart after a failure. Perhaps that would be a good enhancement ... or is there an issue with setting the service to restart after a crash. Thanks for your attention on this matter.
I just downloaded 4.2.3 to replace an old 3 series version (which worked fine) and rebooted. Now when I launch the software and click Live TV, the program immediately hangs up for 10 or 15 seconds and then crashes.

I have added another set of IPTV channels on top of the channels I already had. I now have Vaders IPTV (from before) and have added The Beast IPTV.
The channels from Vaders IPTV work fine. However, the channels from The Beast IPTV are all jittery and choppy (both audio & video). Not watchable and sometimes the video just stops all-together. Also, when you click on the channel, it takes a while for the video to show up. The audio usually starts playing for couple of seconds before the video starts.
I have attached a log file for your reference. I believe the first two channels in the log are from Vaders and the rest from The Beast.
For your information, the Beast IPTV works fine on other platforms such as VLC Player, Android, etc...
Appreciate if you can take a look and let me know how I can fix the issue.
Let me know where to post log? I am from Houston, TX and my ISP is Comcast I did repaired cable card few times so they said everything is fine but NextPVR caused some channels unable to showing so I am here to help you to help others by trying to get some channels working sometimes I tune not working or freeze after 2-3 seconds.
Channels that not working are: Oxygen, Fuse TV (removed from Comcast & Verizon lineup since December 2018), USA Networks. I hope to see these working through NextPVR. Let me know what to do to post logs?
Where is Metadata stored for existing recordings after npvr.db3 purges old shows?
I think the software is working correctly, but I want to know so I can avoid losing metadata.
I am set for EPG updates at 2:30 a.m., but my computer is usually off at night. Still, the npvr.db3 is adding new shows and purging old shows (less than a day old) regularly. I have used a SQLite viewer to check this.
Once every several days, I click on "Export Recordings" in Settings to get metadata save to recording-backup.xml for my recordings that I haven't removed. That file rarely updates unless I click Export Recordings. This export has occasionally missed metadata for some recordings, I maybe deleted something to have caused that.
I have set <StoreSeparateMetadataXml>true</StoreSeparateMetadataXml> in config.xml.
I get a XML file with metadata for each recording, but they are missing cast and crew members which will show up in recording-backup.xml .
I am running NextPVR 4.2.3(181112) on Windows 10 Pro 64bit (Version 1803).
I am not running anything with NextPVR like Kodi or Plex. I am just manually moving recordings and metadata.
I have heard of NextPVR archiving reature but have not used it.
I have searched the forums but I think I might not be searching for the right name. Is that a file that stores all the EPG data? I download from Schedules Direct. Can I open the guide data in a XML and search or is it a proprietary or encrypted file?
I'm thinking of buying a TBS6909 satellite card with 8 tuners and I wondered if anyone had used one. As it has 8 tuners but only 4 coax connections I wondered if there were any issues using it with NextPVR?
I'm not sure why but I have been having a lot of problems of late with NPVR. I have had a number of shows that just stop in the middle of the show with the image frozen, if the system recovers the audio and video are often out of sync momentarily and sometimes until the show ends. I was using LAV filters, I tried ffsshow and I am now using LAV for MPEG-2 and AC3Filter for audio. I watched two show I recorded yesterday after the switch and so far so good. However, I continue to have NPVR just shutdown in the middle of a show.

I've also attached my logs.
In an attempt to correct the issue I have done a clean install of Windows 10 Home Edition, reinstalled NPVR but didn't want to lose my scheduled recordings, etc so prior to the Windows install I backed them up to the D: drive then copied back to original location on C: drive and reinstalled NPVR. I've removed and reinstalled the Hauppauge drivers for my WIN-TV QuadHD PCIe TV Tuner.
I'm not really sure NPVR is at fault vs being affected by something else but I'm hoping someone will see something I've missed that can help.
It takes about 3 minutes from starting Kodi up before being able to watch Live TV as it takes an age to read in the data from the NextPVR server. It pauses for about 1 minute before doing anything, this is on FireTV. I can try on the same on MrMc (Kodi fork) and it is reasonably fast. Anyone know why?
It would be nice if on Settings->TV->Guide->Update Interval, it also had 'Update Time', so when Kodi starts up it can check the last time it read EPG data in (see date on epg11.db) and determine based on Update Time & 'Update Interval' if it actually needs to re-read it in or use the cache. EPG only updates once a day so there's no need. I'd set it to 6:30am with interval of 1440 minutes (24 hours). I appreciate this though is probably a Kodi change
Although my Nextpvr recordings menu indicates it will record any new episodes at any time of day, when i view the Kodi Timer Rules they indicate recording will occur only during very specific times eg 21:00 to 22:00.
I cannot get my WinTV-NOVA-TD-Stick http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/site/supp...l.html?prod=29 to show in the settings of NPVR. I have tried both available version's of driver, both of which installed fine and the device was shown in device manager.
The device works on a windows 7 machine and has done for a long time. I don't remember doing anything special to install it and from what I understand from reading the wiki it should be basically plug and play.
When cycling through the RECORDINGS pages, when I get to RECURRING from either Conflicts page or Pending page I get an exception error before it loads the page. (Attached image)
If this is a corrupted database any help on how I restore or refresh it. I don't mind losing any programs which were in the RECURRING list.
Apart from this new problem, its been brilliant, thank you.
I am new to NPVR, but not to HTPC's in general, I came here after 15+ years on a variety of WMC/DVBLink combo's
I only started with NPVR this weekend gone and initially it worked perfectly, however from today, I am experiencing 100% guaranteed freeze's when playing live TV. The period after hitting play to the video/audio freezing is variable, but its always < 2 mins and always > 5 seconds!
There have been ZERO configuration changes to my PC. No new software. no changes to NPVR settings and no windows updates. I am at an utter loss in explaining why it has gone from 100% reliable to 100% unreliable with zero changes!
I have tried restarting the PC (many times), tried shifting the liveTV buffer onto a different disk.
- Version is 4.2.3 (181112)
- Issue occurs with MPEG2 streams and H264 streams
- Issue occurs with both LAV and Microsoft DTV-DVD decoders (I rebooted after changing each of these)
- The issue occurs both for live TV and for recordings. Playing back old recordings works just fine still.
- Issue occurs on every single channel
- Time-to screen freeze is variable 5 seconds through to 2 mins
- The hang happens in the native client running on same PC as server, in the web client running locally and elsewhere and also in the android clients and the Emby client.
I am at an utter loss as to why and how this could have occurred. Next step will be a reinstall.
Maybe someone here can help - logs generated at the time of the video hang are attached
Running tuner card on PC and nextPVR works fine on PC. I have a Firestick attached to TV with Kodi 17.6 downloaded and working fine. When I select nextPVR in the TV button on Kodi comes up with 1) Hostname 2) Port:8866 3) PinCode 0000. It never connects (RUN) indicator never works nor does a check mark appear next to "nextPVR". The settings on the PC version client are also set to 8866 and 0000 with checkmark in "Enable Web Server" and "Allow Remote Access". I also have added the ip address of the PC which in this case was 192.168.1.162.
I've been trying to get XNEWA working on my new Sony TV with Android OS [Sony Bravia KD-49X9000F (90F/900F)]
In doing so I have been relearning what I did for the RPi2 install, using your video, past notes etc.
I am now stuck at this message: Could not open NextPVR on 127.0.0.1 [from Kodi on Sony TV with Android OS]
I disabled my firewall and tried - no go. See attached when running.
I can access http://127.0.0.1:8866 (it goes to Guide.aspx) from the Server PC; but not from a notebook on the same Network, which says "connection refused"?
Logs are attached.
I am not able to get you Kodi logs (at least I don't think so?) as I cannot SSH or WinSCP into the TVs OS.
Is there anything else you need me to do to help you here? DO I need to add the MAC address of the TV under clients e.g. so it goes into config.xml?
LATER: At some later stage, because I wish to autostart NextPVR and adjust the Guide.xml, I will also need to work out how to WinSCP into the TV Android system. I read this is possible with adb, and I tied that on port 5555 but got "Connection Refused". I have already enabled the developer option by pressing the lowest button in the 'About' "Build" menu 4 times and got the message it was enabled. There’s a New Android OS out for it shortly too Sony Bravia KD-49X9000F (90F/900F). Is this the correct way to access the advancedsettings.xml and guide.xml files I need to modify?
I am using NextPVR via Emby as the front-end. When I view items in the EPG, or live TV, or stuff I have recorded, for most shows, an image has been downloaded to represent the show. I am wondering whether its Emby thats getting this data or NextPVR? In Emby, where an image to represent the show has not been downloaded, it gets replaced with an tiny 'image not found' icon. I am wondering if there is a way to simply replace this with say the channel logo, or even a transparent png so that nothing shows in Emby? Additionally, is there a way after EPG dowload to preemptively pull ALL show icons/banners for everything in the EPG? EG to prevent the pregnant pause while an icon/banner gets downloaded after first viewing the show detail from the EPG?
Also, SchedulesDirect has been recommended to me for UK EPG data - does anyone know whether this supplies NextPVR's EPG feature with just textural data, or whether it also includes rich EPG info - eg thumbs/images for the shows?
See attached pics: EPG detail for Emby and NextPVR for a show without an icon/banner.
Good Day...Is there a way to put the channel groups in alpha order? I have used DBBrowser for SQLite and RazorSQL with no luck. I can edit the groups as to how I want them (alpha order) but the database always comes back to the original state. At this point, my only option is to reset the groups in alpha order and populate them one channel at a time which seems kinda ridiculous and troublesome. there should be a way to just click and drag ther group to where i need it to be. Thanks...cheers!!
