Hello all,
I am very new to this and can't seem to get past step two of the "First Steps" (http://nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Qu...FirstSteps). I have Mediacom cable TV (QAM signal), and I am required to use a DTA (signal decrypter). I have tried both TV tuners to scan for the all frequencys and I get nothing. Any ideas?
I have an Asus MyCinema PS3-110 Hybrid. It specifically says it receives ATSC, QAM & NTSC (Analog). When I go to devices in NPVR it only shows me the ATSC (which I get no channels from scanning), QAM (Says I get 101 but most do not work, only maybe 20 or so). It does not show the NTSC so I cannot scan for these channels! Any help would be appreciated. Been scanning these threads but haven't found anything to help me!
I use Next PVR almost exclusively to record and watch digital TV, but sometimes the TV stations have the shows listed poorly, with bad titles (e.g. 'Iron Man - Premiere (with lotto at 7pm)') and / or with bad descriptions. I am using Media Companion to create NFO files with properly scraped titles and descriptions, but how can I force Next PVR to use the NFO files for its titles and descriptions, rather than using whatever title the TV station chose to list in the EPG?
Oddly, when I go into config and say "search now" the show(s) I want get added instantly, provide dtehy are within 3 days. For some reason NEWA is not doing this automatically anymore, and I have been missing shows.
I also have the "C:\Program Files (x86)\NPVR\NEWA_AutoSearch.exe" line in my PostUpdateEPG.bat as insurance, but neither is doing the auto-record.
Any things I need to check? [Specifically, Auto-recording "The Mentalist (" but like I said - manual operation works fine :confused:]
Cheers

[One more thing - the WIKI for NEWA says
Code:
If set, the Auto-Search/Record feature will only run one time per day. It will only run when at least 1 hour has elapsed since your scheduled EPG update time for that day. This helps ensure that your searches are executed against the most recent EPG load and only run one time each day.
if my computer is set to sleep after an hour of inactivity and the last activity is an EPG Update, then will NEWA auto-search run?]
2 days ago my nPVR program stopped recording programs and began producing errors when I tried to delete previously recorded shows. I can watch previously recorded programs with no issues. I assume this means nPVR somehow lost privelages to modify files, but I can't see why. I can delete files I have watched manually using windows explorer.
Things I have tried:
I had not yet updated to v 3.5.7, so I tried that...no effect
I used windows explorer to "share" my recording directory with "everyone" and gave read and write permission...still has same problem.
I've attached my logs. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?...going to be a real bummer when the fall season begins next week
When I change channels this happens every time. I unistalled and reinstall the most current version. I have 2 Hauppauge tuner 2500's and it works great on Media Center, but not on Nextpvr. Running windows 8.1. Records great using NextPvr, but live TV is an issue. Attached are the log files.
NextPvr is needed so I can upgrade to windows 10. Seems to be the best of the bunch for TV and Recordings.
This one definitely falls under "first world problems"
My beloved harmony 785 remote has bitten the dust and I'm looking at a replacement. The Harmony Touch looks good with one problem - the skip forward buttons are in an amazingly awkward position at the very top of the remote above the screen!
I've been experimenting to see if I can get the cursor navigation buttons to work as skip forwards and skip back by editing the keymappings.xml file so I can use the d-pad on the remote for playback skipping (in a similar way to Plex / Kodi). This works perfectly when playing back and skipping but unfortunately makes navigating the EPG impossible (detects right keypress as skip forwards and jumps a whole day forward).
Not convinced there is a fix for this but has anyone else tried to do something similar with any success?
