Knewc 2.7.0

I have uploaded a new version compatible with v4 and v5 to the repo.

NOTE you will not get this automatically because I changed the name from knew45v to knewc (pronounced "nuke") most testers were calling it the "new client" anyway.

There is another cosmetic name change as sub has changed the protocol name from "web client" to "UI client" for version 5.

Other changes

2.7.0
Kodi Python UI
- most knewc python functions work with new v5 api

UI Client
- prev key broken (v4 and v5)
- need to send certain key to get Nextpvr UI back after playback when OSD is disabled (v5)

I can't get the IPAD App for NextPVR to work!

I can't get my IPAD 6th gen to login to my NextPVR server. It ask me to add a server. I enter my server address and pin and it says unable to connect to specified server. I tried it with my firewall turned off and it still does not work.

I read in a post that it should add the server without entering the server address and pin? I don't even have that option?

I entered the correct server address and pin. Is my host computer the correct server address? Having paid for the app, I would like to use it! :confused:

Installing on Windows
On Windows NextPVR supports IPTV, HDHomeRun, digital tuners (DVB-T, DVB-C, DVB-S, ATSC and QAM), SAT>IP tuner (DVB-S, DVB-C, DVB-T) and HDPVR style devices (HDPVR, HDPVR2, Colossus, Colossus2, Rocket)

If you're going install on a Windows machine with NextPVR already installed, unzip it into a different directory, and you'll need to set the <Port> setting in config.xml, to something other than 8866 (like maybe 8867), since this port will already be in use.

The latest files can be downloaded from:
Windows files at:
http://nextpvr.com/beta/windows/NPVR.zip

To install and run on Windows
copy binaries to directory like C:\Program Files\NPVR
run NextPVRServer.exe

Windows Client
The windows client, nextpvr.exe, is included in the 'client' subdirectory. At this stage it can only connect to NextPVR running on the same Windows machine.

A tray app is also available, which can give you a visual indication of when the application is recording or idle. This can run using NPVRTray.exe.

NextPVR v5 Public Beta

NextPVR v5 is a large redevelopment of the application, with the goal making it possible to run the backend (recording service / web server) on platforms other than just Windows. Where possible I've reused stuff, so there is a lot of familiar aspects to NextPVR v5, but there is also a lot of new stuff and things that needed to be done different ways...so there is definitely some learning curve for getting started with the new application. This thread aims to help get the user through this.

Unlike previous versions, since the traditional nextpvr.exe frontend application isn't available on non-Windows platforms, the setup and configuration is done using the web application. After installing, open your browser to http://localhost:8866/index.html, enter default "admin"/"password" login credentials, then head to the Settings->Devices page to begin setup. From there you should hopefully see your devices listed. Click a device...

Is NextPVR v5 ready for everyone to install?
For the average user, wanting a stable release, we'd recommend sticking with NextPVR v4.2.4. The new v5 application is coming along nicely, but there is definitely more work to be done. The new public beta is to get the application into the hands of more users, so we can get more feedback, so we can gauge areas that users want to see more focus in.

Installing using Docker
This method is likely to be used for installation on NAS devices, or distros like LibreELEC. Running in a docker container NextPVR supports IPTV, HDHomeRun and digital tuners (DVB-T, DVB-C, DVB-S, ATSC and QAM).

On 64bit Intel machines, install the container image from Dockerhub using:
Code:
sudo docker image pull nextpvr/nextpvr_amd64
Running the application with Docker
For the docker application to be able to stop channel lists and settings, that survive reboots, it needs to store it's use data in a location outside the docker container. It stores this information in the /config directory in the container, which you can map to a location outside of the container. To run the application interactively, so you can see the server output, with the configuration sent to the 'config' directory off your home ("~/config"), run the following command:
Code:
docker run -d \
    --volume /home/pi/config:/config \                   
    --volume /home/pi/videos:/recordings \
    --volume /home/pi/videos:/buffer \
    --publish 8866:8866 \
    nextpvr/nextpvr_amd64:latest
--volume /home/pi/config:/config is telling it where to save your configuration
--volume /home/pi/videos:/recordings is telling it where to save your recordings
--volume /home/pi/videos:/buffer is telling it where to save your live tv buffer files
--publish 8866:8866 is telling docker to map port 8866 (on the host machine) to port 8866 inside the the docker container.
If you're using an older legacy HDHomeRun, you'll also need these (with 192.168.1.51 replaced with your host's IP address):
Code:
    --env HOST_IP=192.168.1.51 \
    --publish 8020-8030:8020-8030/udp

Any way to temporarily suspend scheduled recordings?

I am asking because I usually shut down my computer when I am going to be away for several days or more.

Then when I return I am greeted with a long list of failed recordings because the recording service was (obviously) not active at the scheduled recording times.

After manually deleting the failed recordings, all is well again.

So I was wondering if there is a way to manually suspend/pause all scheduled NPVR recordings for my "away" time, other than deleting them from the scheduled recordings list?

NextPVR v5 Public Beta

Over the last 6 months or so I've been busy working on the next generation of NextPVR software. The primary goal of v5 was to making the it possible to run NextPVR on other platforms. We've made good progress with that, and now have an application we'd like to get more people testing it. Today I've posted public beta information, for those that are interested in giving it a go.

Is NextPVR v5 ready for everyone to install? No. For the average user, wanting a stable release, we'd recommend sticking with NextPVR v4.2.4. The new v5 application is coming along nicely, but there is definitely more work to be done. The new public beta is to get the application into the hands of more users, so we can get more feedback, so we can gauge areas that users want to see more focus in.

Is it exactly the same as v4? No. Unlike previous versions, the setup and configuration is done using a web application. Where possible I've reused stuff, so there is a lot of familiar aspects to NextPVR v5, but there is also a lot of new stuff and things that needed to be done different ways...so there is definitely some learning curve for getting started with the new application.

Does it work with other clients, like Kodi, or the iOS/Android apps? Yes. In general it works the same with Kodi, the iOS apps, Apple TV app, and Android app. For those who were using the X-NEWA addon for Kodi, you'll need to update to the knewc addon which replaces it. Emby will need an updated plugin, which will be provided shortly.

For more information, head over to https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthrea...v5-Public-Beta

I'd like to say thanks again to the guys that help out with testing. I very much appreciate the help and feedback.

Schedules Direct Line Up Management

On my V5 test server, I'm trying to add one of the HDHR Prime CableCard tuners.

For some reason, my main (original) SD lineup for the local cable lineup wasn't listed. (It also wasn't listed in V4, so that must be something weird/old.) Anyway, I went ahead and tried doing Add Schedules Direct Lineup. And the window prompts for username and password even though that info has already been entered and is being used. (So I cheated and went to the v4 server and added the lineup there.)

Then when I selected the correct lineup and clicked Scan, I got an error saying "Unable to download channel lineup. The given path's format is unsupported." See the pdf with the screen capture of the message in the logs zip.

New install onto existing V4 client machine

June 17, 2019, 7:15 am

I would like to try testing V5 Beta on a windows client machine on which V4 is already installed as a client that uses a different machine as the server.

Is this permitted?

I've unzipped the download into folder NPVRV5. I hesitate to launch NPVRServer.exe. What happens when it executes? Will it disrupt my client connection to my current server? What happens to client NRecord.exe? Does the launch also create the User folder? Will that clobber the current V4 client setup?

Your install instructions state that the port should be changed to something other than 8866. Does this mean the port V5 will use? I'm guessing that a new config.xml will be created to allow the port change since there is now no config.xml.

Thanks...

First, thanks for doing this! I look forward to see if it's a better option than TVH or Emby for live tv.

Second, a few questions --
1. What is the channel tune/change speed for HDHomeRun prime users? I could test this myself but your clients are $7 each and I don't really want to pay that just as a test. Wish there were some trial options available on those.
2. When does the EPG update? I setup my 6 HDHomeRun prime tuners and mapped my channels but the guide is still empty. I don't see any UI to trigger this. Does it happen automagically?

Will V4 Plugins work with v5 client?

I'm guessing probably not.

I would be interested in using & testing v5, but there are a small number of plugins that I have used for years, that have not been updated for a long time - I guess people have moved on.

Movies - is a thing of beauty and keeps control of over 350 Blurays on my server in various genres. vic hasn't been around on the forum for a long time.

AutoRefresh - uses MediaInfo (a very old dll, newer ones don't work) to set the video output to a suitable matching refresh rate, to stop juddery video.
System - provides a system overview of recordings, drives, active tuners, basic hardware monitoring, and power options. imilne still pops in to the forum but doesn't appear to be doing any development.

Web Radio - still mostly works - if I remember to not update VLC. maybe Martin will release a replacement for v5 sometime?

Also there is the "Custodian of the Remote" who should not be upset :D
