Other distributions can be built from my repository at https://github.com/sub3/xbmc-pvr-addons. I'd probably be dependent on others to build it for other platforms though.

I will also have a zip file on my compilation page http://www.dotnetdevelopers.net/XBMC/xbmcpvr.html

all this is running on same computer? And you changed the port to 8080 ?

yes all on the same PC. I didnt change the port, thats just what showed up in the error. I have read that VLC uses port 8080 so I assume that is NEWA trying to connect to the VLC server, not sure why it is being refused. I searched their forum and found another guy that had the same issue a few months back but no one replied to his thread.

@allen

check your nextpvr settings, default port is 8866 so unless you changed it something is setup wrong.

do you access newa webinterface on port 8080 also ?

Yes, I access the web interface on port 8866, but the video stream is supposed to be coming from port 8080 which should be VLC. I did some tests and setup a http stream manually with VLC on port 8080 and it worked just fine with a .mkv file i had laying around, but the .ts files that nextpvr produces are giving vlc some trouble and that might be the issue.

what version of VLC do you have installed? can you play one of your recordings manually using vlc? when I try to play one of my recordings manually with vlc it doesnt work.

KRA77 · 2012-09-26, 22:07

@ Allen

Mine both website and vlc stream is on port 8866, I had not installed vlc from before, so I just grabbed the freshest one from official site.

I assume you must have setup vlc for something before since it's running on port 8080

I have no problems playing live or recording on port 8866

allen00se · 2012-09-26, 22:51

I think I have a VLC/TS file issue. I can play my recordings from inside npvr, but cannot play them with VLC. I assume that since no one else seems to have this issue that maybe it is specific to the type of tuner card I use (ceton infinitv). Either way I posted my VLC error log on the VLC forum and await their response.

If anyone here is interested my VLC error:

libdvbpsi error (PMT decoder): invalid section (table_id == 0xc1)

There are two wasy to get video from the web browser, from NextPVR direct defaulting on 8866 and using NEWA's custom transcoding via VLC on port 8080. The NEWA method is general lower quality for access via the internet, but to use it you need VLC installed and you need to configure the parameters you want in NEWA. The default don't work for me.

Well, it's been a little over a week since I started playing with NPVR and things are moving along great. It has been fun working with Sub and a few of the other NPVR developers, moving the XBMC addon forward. I have been working on a YouTube video and will hopefully post it sometime this weekend.

I have been working mainly with the Windows addon, but the last few days been playing with with Linux. Since I am very new to building on Linux I won't comment here on my experience thus far. Smile

The Windows addon has full Live TV functionality and works great on multiple clients with my setup (2 HD-PVR's & a dual tuner HDHomeRun.) Guide data and TV icons are pulled in automatically from the backend and works well with Windows Vista/7/8. Recordings are pulled in and also work without issue. The web guide NEWA works very well for scheduling recordings. There is a lot of information in the web guide, so it take a little getting used to (moving from ForTheRecord.) I also changed the web guide color scheme to ProtoType as dark backgrounds with white or color lettering gives me a headache. I'm glad they provide several color schemes for people to choose whats best for them.

Sub has put in a request to have the addon added to the mainline xbmc-pvr-addons github repository, so I hope they pull it over soon. Also, as I mentioned earlier, once Sub releases the official XBMC support in the next NPVR version I will have the addon available on the addon build site I created. I think Sub's timeline for the next release is within a week or so, barring no unforeseen issues.

As most can tell, I'm very excited for this solution. NPVR has proved to me that it is a very solid backend, with the simple installation & configuration and has yet to fail. Sub is very responsive to issues and is very enthusiastic about NPVR & XBMC solution. I appreciate all the time he and the other NPVR developers have taken to develop this addon and putting up with me over the past week Wink

Thanks guys!

Stop teasing and release the damn thing xD

I've actually been "playing" with NPVR this week also (never heard of it before you mention it).
I've run into some problems, but the support from developer (sub) over @ nextpvr forum is damn impressive.

Tomorrow will be the big test when I install all my tuners on nextpvr.

Compiling from git on xbmcbuntu is rather simple, I don't know if you need all this, but this is what I did :

sudo apt-get install git-core build-essential checkinstall autoconf autoconf2.13 libtool libtinyxml-dev zip
git clone git://github.com/sub3/xbmc-pvr-addons
cd xbmc-pvr-addons
./bootstrap
./configure
make zip

compiled without error, zip file for install directly from within xbmc is located xbmc-pvr-addons/addons folder.

Ofcourse I havn't been able to test it yet since I don't have the next release of NPVR.

wileecoyote · 2012-09-29, 08:22

Sorry KRA77, it was not my intent to tease. I honestly wanted to give an update to the status.

Thanks for the info, I have built the addon okay on Linux, just having a few issues getting the latest nightly downloaded and installed Sad

Which version of Linux are you running? Are you running the latest nightly build for Linux? If so, which ppa did you use?

Swifty · 2012-09-29, 10:17

Aww I thought the version was due this weekend :-(

Media portal TV service crashes daily on me now so I was looking forward to getting rid of it.

KRA77 · (This post was last modified: 2012-09-29, 15:11 by KRA77.)

My base is xbmcbuntu 11.0

I've updated to repository ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-xvba since I have a ATi gfx card.

Problem now is adding my Hauppauge Nova HD USB2 to nextpvr, it keeps random bsod'ing my computer while scanning. It's a new tuner I bought, so I havn't tested it on other software. At first I though it had problems with certain freq, but it's completely random, Last try it bsod when I hit SCAN.

Just to point out, the BSOD are probably not related to NPVR, I've allways had good experience with Hauppauge products, but googling BSOD + Hauppauge gives quite a few hits, and seems like it's common problem with several of their tuners Sad

KRA77 · 2012-09-29, 17:23

Bad news for NPVR Sad

seems I have to bother SUB again, after spending 3-4 hours trying to get the NOVA HD USB2 card working in NPVR with BSOD all over ranging from I hit to scan button to after scanning 20 freq. I reinstall 4TR to test, I do a full scan, and after scanning 200 freq finding several hundreds of channel I test live-tv and it works without issue.

However solving this might be tough, nothing in the log regards to the bsod. Where to start ?

Sub has released NextPVR 2.5.9 here -> http://forums.gbpvr.com/showthread.php?5...ober-2012)

The second post has instructions on downloading the addon.
