Upgraded to Norton Security 2015 from NIS this week and "Always on top" now loses focus at 2 mins and again at 3 mins from reboot.
If Norton is disabled, focus stays with NPVR â no problems.
Solved it â not elegantly â by putting two files in Windows/Start/All Programs/Startup as below:
(Stay on top box is ticked with this bat file.)
=========
REM .. Start.bat
c:
cd\program files (x86)\NPVR\
start nextpvr.exe -ontop & start nextpvr.exe âupdateepg
==========
#WinActivateForce #NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
;
Timethen= %A_Now%
EnvAdd, Timethen, 2
Timethen += 3, m
start:
if (A_Now >= Timethen)
{
goto done
}
else
#WinActivateForce
IfWinExist, NextPVR
WinActivate ; use the window found above
goto start
done:
exitapp
=======
The += 3, m is set to 3 mins but can be anything longer than the loss of focus.
I know this is not elegant â can it be done within NPVR ? Or, am I missing the obvious ??
(Alternatively â stop using Norton, I guess ..)
during QAM setup process. Have searched and searched this site and the web in general, but to no avail. Not sure how it works fine with WMC (which +I want to eliminate thru WIN10 upgrade), yet no channels show up during device setup. Help please! Thanks
While I was troubleshooting some issues with my computer not waking up to record shows, I noticed that running "powercfg -waketimers" from an elevated command prompt resulted in the following message; "An unexpected error condition has occurred. Unable to perform operation. You may not have permission to perform this operation." This message only appears if the "NPVR Recording Service" is running. If the service is not running, it acts normally and reports that no waketimers have been set. Is the "NPVR Recording Service" supposed to cause an error condition in the "powercfg -waketimers" command?
I believe my sleep/wake issues were related to a setting in my BIOS as everything seems to be working now.
I've asked about this a few days ago, and I was told that something else was using the tuner(s). So, I've transferred all of my recordings from WMC to NPVR, and now I find it hard to watch unrecorded programs. About 80% 0f them fail.
Each time they fail, if I check NPVR, it indicates that it is currently recording the program. But, the end result is an empty file.
In this case, I was recording Shepard Smith on channel 1214 at 3pm (1 hour). It is now 3:51pm, and NPVR still indicates that it is recording, yet the output file is zero bytes.
Event logs indicate NPVR Recorder service stopped at 3:23p
to the PostUpdateEPG.bat file to have a process monitor sports events all day on Sunday. But if you have to restart the recording service (or it dies, etc.), then this process goes away and the monitoring doesn't work. If there was a PostStartup.bat file called after recording service startup, then we could also add the command there to restart the monitoring.
In NPVR, I can subscribe to the Event notifications to determine when a video launched from my plugin has finished playing. Is there a way to do this in the (X-NEWA) web client since it does not seem to fire this event? Basically, I would just like to refresh my plugin screen when it "returns" from video playback. Thanks.

Please zip and attach logs to support posts. Please use Windows Explorer / File Explorer and right click on the Logs folder and select Send To ... Compressed Folder to zip the logs folder. Attach the zip file to your post using the paperclip button when you create a new thread.

Please tell us the date and time that we can look for in the logs. For example, a show that failed to record on January 28 at 21.00 or a Settings problem today at 11.30.
May I also suggest a couple of bells and whistles that might assist.
Pressing the Red button (or Alt-R) could add a line to all logs that says "Red button pressed" ... I can then press the Red button when I see a problem (tuner not listed in Devices, for example). Might sometimes a assist when searching logs.
It appears that an "API call" (whoever he is) to zip a folder is available in Windows so we might have a button on the Settings --> General screen to zip the logs folder and put the zip file in the Documents folder where it is easy to find.
Plus, we might also have a "Restart NextPVR" button on the Settings --> General screen to restart npvr.exe, nrecord.exe and to stop all ndigitlhost processes forcing all logs to be restarted (among other "reset" type actions).
I have carefully calculated the amount of work required to implement all this and it is zero ... for me.
