Nextpvr Setup Guide Install NextPVR On
The marginal cost of electricity I pay is 27 cents/kWh in high tiers.That’s $236 of worth of electricity per year, twice what the lifetime PlexPass costs ! In reality, it records and gets used for playback only a couple hours a day. That means if I ran it 24/7, it would consume 876 kWh a year. Install PVR back-end Here are the steps to install NextPVR on.My HTPC is a powerful, and consumes about 100W idle. How can this be when we have a climate crisis !There is no single manual for doing all of this The biggest obstacle for setting up HTPC. I first decided to go with the Plex DVR, because I bought the Plex Pass a long time ago, but I have been very unhappy with the recording quality.Did some searches, and apparently Plex Media Server does not support waking up the PC automatically for recording.
Should I disable it, if I no longer intend to use the NextPVR client ? Are the existing EDL files perhaps what’s confusing Plex ?On a separate note, I really wish I didn’t have to create a DVR device in Plex for this. To no avail, can’t get “Skip ads” to show up in Plex client.What settings are you using in your Plex DVR device, and TV library, that might explain why you got it working and I didn’t ?Are you running Comskip in NextPVR also ? I had that enabled too. I have rescanned the library, deleted the program from the Plex library, re-added it, rescanned. Any help would be appreciated. Not sure what I’m doing wrong.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t run “Plex Commercial Skipper.exe” in task manager. If so, there will be commercial markers:I have tried the forced analysis. You can tell if ad detection has been performed for an item by looking at its XML info. This process can take a bit of time, depending on the system.
The XML info I’m referring to is pulled from the Plex database. Based on the timestamps, none of the files produced by NextPVR have been touched by Plex DVR after they were added to the Plex library.Plex doesn’t modify the recorded files or create new XML files. There is no trace of the commercial markers. I have no idea why the transcoder ran, or where its output went.I have looked at the XML file from a recording I just did in NextPVR.
I’ve not got anything particularly special going on on my system but, for what it’s worth, it is a Linux-based server. If not, try a manual analysis afterward. The XML info doesn’t show any markers at all on the files imported from NextPVR into the Plex library.You may want try the Plex Dance on an item recorded with NextPVR to see if that triggers the detection (when it’s added back). Sorry I should have read the link. The XML file from your screenshot is the one created by NextPVR Plex doesn’t utilize it in any way.Thanks.
Same problem for the recordings from NextPVR. I’ve tested beyond two directories, but have no reason to believe it would cause any issues.You are right, I have ruled the 2 folders being the cause of the problem.I just did an experiment : I deleted the library on my Plex server.The library contained a bunch of Seinfeld episodes that were recorded with Plex DVR, and which were doing commercial skip just fine and a couple of recordings I made with NextPVR, which were not working with commercial skip.I re-created the Plex library, pointing it at the exact same same files, and now the commercial skip for those same Seinfeld episodes isn’t working. It worked fine either way. However, when I initially set it up, I had two directories (one for my Plex DVR stuff, and one for the thing recorded by NextPVR. Could easily be a bug snuck into one and not the other.I have a Linux Plex Media Server as well on my NAS, but the OTA antenna doesn’t go to my home office, and the Hauppauge PCIe tuner card is in the Windows HTPC in my home theater.My DVR library on this server currently has only one top-level directory. Linux vs Windows is a pretty big difference.
Commercial skip processing only appears to be triggered for Plex DVR recordings, not for anything else, despite the correct settings.
