dcol 165 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 (edited) Quick question. Is there just the one NextPVR plugin for v4 and v5? I am thinking of trying v5 to replace v4 which I have been using successfully for quite a while now. I did notice the dll. So I will install that as well.

dcol 165 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Actually all I needed to do was copy the LiveTV.Plugins.NextPvr.dll to \programdata\plugins folder, restart Emby, and it showed up as a plugin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrAllard 8 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I have NextPVR v5 running in a docker, everything goes according to plan from this ang;e. The plugin in Emby though I think I have a problem with. First of all, when trying to listen to something that is recording but not finish, I somehow only have access to what is recorded at the moment I start listening. When I playback the now finished recording I can see that Emby pulls a url http://NextPVR.ip.addr/live?recording=1065. It's not live anymore, I'm wondering. Oh and even though the recording is finished I still only have access to 12 minutes of the video. The .ts that was recorded is 34 minutes though. (2 minutes before and after) When I try to listen to the video from Emby many times I get a "Unable to seek", when I tried the same url in VLC I wasn't able to seek either. What I'm I missing I'm pretty sure I should be able to listen to a recording while it's being recorded and skip forward until I reach live tv...

emveepee 112 Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) I suggest it is this issue https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/79276-problems-watching-a-recording-while-being-recorded/&do=findComment&comment=829100 and I have not idea if the Emby devs are considering fixing it for PVR addons. It is not a NextPVR issue you should be able to play the recording in progress just fine with Kodi using the recent version of pvr addon.

emveepee 112 Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 I have update post#1 with a new version that uses a new 5.0.3 API for getting art which should greatly reduce the chance of duplicate calls being made for the same artwork.

dcol 165 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) Is the new dll fully compatible with NextPVR v4 or should I upgrade to v5? Finally got the plugin working and have some questions Is there an explanation somewhere about the plugin settings for 'Series Recording Default' and 'Default to New Episodes Only' I noticed a new item in 'My Media' which is 'NextPVR Recordings'. How is this different than where I send the current recordings set in the NPVR settings? It looks like there is a separation now in Emby's own recordings from NPVR's. In the past I ran NPVR on a separate system in it's own Emby server. Can we now run both concurrently recording the same shows at the same time from different IPTV providers. If so, I have been waiting for this ability for a long time. I could get rid of the Emby/NPVR server. Ideally here is what I would like to do. Setup the normal IPTV channels in Emby LiveTV and have the guide reflect those channels and record to a TV Show library. Then at the same time, have NPVR record the same shows from a different IPTV provider that show up in the 'NextPVR Recordings' and not be reflected in the Emby guide or TV Show library. All the NPVR recordings are done via the NPVR guide. This is sort of what I do now using two Emby servers. Is this possible now using one Emby server?

emveepee 112 Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 It is not compatible with v4. You should be upgrading to v5 now that it has a been formally released from beta.. The Emby plugin is much more efficient at loading the guide, loading recordings and loads recording updates as they occur. I am just waiting for Luke to help prepare github for a PR to get this into official status. No documentation but the option should be pretty clear to NextPVR users. The drop down gives you four options which determine what happens when you click Record Series in Emby. The Default to New tick box means only record only new episodes of those the series recordings. This is based on whether or not your EPG source has this flag. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcol 165 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) Thanks I will upgrade to v5 today. So, is it possible to separate the Emby recording from the NextPVR on the same server? This was not possible in the past because Emby can not schedule the same show twice at the same time even if it is on different channels from different IPTV providers. but if NextPVR schedule can not be in the Emby schedule and just use it's own guide and place the recorded shows in the 'NextPVR Recordings' then it should work. is this possible?

emveepee 112 Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 Sorry I don't know how Emby works behind the scenes. If you didn't use the plugin and used NextPVR independently I assume you could have the NextPVR recordings in the video library. Sounds like you just need to get a more reliable IPTV provider.

dcol 165 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) if I didn't use the plugin then the NextPVR Recordings would not appear in 'My Media'. The issue is sharing the schedule with Emby. If that could be disabled, it would work. I can manually record simultaneous recordings, just cannot schedule them. Or maybe you are on to something. If I do not use the plugin, I could just send all the NextPVR recordings to a folder and create a new library in Emby using that folder.

dcol 165 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) Upgraded to v5 and looks nice. Had to really search for the config.xml file. Even a search didn't come up with it. Edited April 18, 2020 by dcol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrbee99 1559 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I finally unzipped the plugin straight into ...\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\plugins and it added a .dll file and a .pdb file. Do I need both ? no-one seems to have mentioned there being two files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcol 165 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) I have NextPVR running on the same server as Emby now. I do not use the Emby plugin, rather setup a separate library in Emby that has all the things recorded by NPVR. That way I can overlap recordings and it keeps the NPVR recording engines from using the Emby guide. This method works great for me.

dcol 165 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) So NextPVR and Emby don't talk to each other at all ? That is correct. And I do this to eliminate liveTV recording conflicts between NPVR and Emby. I have NPVR do its own thing and place the NPVR media in a separate Emby library. I do use a different IPTV provider for each. Edited May 1, 2020 by dcol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrbee99 1559 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Can't say I get recording conflicts using the plugin. But then around here there's never enough stuff worth recording for there to be conflicts (And if there is I've usually missed the first episode anyway).

dcol 165 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 The conflicts come into play when you want to record the same show at the same time as a backup. Which has saved me more times than I can count. NPVR is basically used as a backup. Emby deletes duplicate scheduled recordings in their guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrbee99 1559 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 That could be handy for me as well. I've only got dvb-s and iptv is mostly the same channels. So the iptv stream is higher quality but more likely to just stop, dvb-s generally works but is only 576i. Should probably give it a go sometime.

emveepee 112 Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) The pdb file helps with extra debug info if there is a crash in the addon, but since we haven't really seen any It hasn't been necessary. When Emby does their release of the addon it will be just a dll with no debug info. Martin Edited May 1, 2020 by emveepee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
