What options are available to setup PVR on unraid?

 

linux based ones I see available are: http://kodi.wiki/view/PVR_backend

 

Tvheadend

VDR

MythTV

DVBLink

 

What about Argus TV

 

NextPVR - By far one of the best home grown PVR's is now multi platform and I currently have running as a docker in unraid.

Anyone have an opinion on this....

 

I guess I really want something that can look like WMC and have same recording capabilities. So something that offers  the following -

 

Enable Timeshift

 

Group Recordings

 

Series Recording

 

    New and rerun - Records all episodes of the selected show.

    New only - Skips recording episodes marked as repeats in the EPG

    Live only - Records the episode ONLY if marked as "live" in the EPG.

 

On the Fly recording

 

Support multiple HDHomerun tuners

Try the updated NextPVR that now multi platform. I currently have it running in an unraid docker with a HDHomeRun CONNECT QUATRO and EPG from Schedules Direct with icons.

You haven't added a port to the template for the webUI (8866)

i thought this line added it

<WebUI>http://[IP]:[PORT:8866]/index.html</WebUI>

[Squid]

Nope.  That just tells unRaid when you hit the webUI link to go to that URL.  You still have to add the applicable port (add another path / port / variable) in the template.

ok new to this where would i put it and what the correct formatting?

[Squid]

Edit the template, hit Add Another Port, Path, Variable.  Select Port and enter in the applicable information.  Importantly, the container port is the port the container listens on (whereever it expects the webUI to be), and the host port is what unRaid thinks the port is (ie: what port you access the UI from)

i got it to work but i gave up my recordings were not great could of been that i was using hdhomeruns with lots of network traffic or it could of been crap signals. i might give it ago again if i can free up a spot for my internal card.

I cant find a guide anywhere that I seem to be able to follow to get NextPVR working in a docker on here..I had it setup fine in my windows VM then realised what a pig on resources that is especially as I run little else on it at the moment....the guides I have found dont seem to work when I try and add through the terminal....could you help point me in the right direction??

Thankyou!
