After updating the UK Freeview Freesat Logos 10 days ago (which set the counters to 0 due to new file names) I was slightly surprised nobody had downloaded them - so downloaded them myself just to check the links were OK - Honest :o
Still nothing showing on the counters - so are they not working any more?
Occasionally when watching a recording from a client, over a wireless connection, the picture will freeze, then the screen goes black and the "Recording watched to completion. Delete?" message pops up on screen. I can restart the recording from the beginning and jump back to the same place and watch the rest of the show. I do use ComSkip, but for some reason NPVR jumps to the end and thinks I watched the whole show, even though it didn't really finish. I'm pretty certain that the primary cause is that I'm losing the wireless signal for a moment. Is there something I can set so that the server will know that the show didn't really end? I've attached both the client and server logs and you can see the file stop at 16:02.
I am very new to this all and I am a complete newbie so I don't really have a clue about it all.
I have downloaded NextPVR this evening and can't get it to work. Having two main issues, firstly the Update EPG on the channel scan isn't updating it is just going round and round scanning freq and not getting anywhere. Though the EPG in the TV Guide is up to date, so I presume it is working kind of.
Secondly the live TV isn't working at all. It is coming up with "Unable to communicate with recording service". I have looked up and seen that a few others have had this problem, but I am confused with the explanations and fixes to this issue. Sorry I am a complete newbie on things and any help would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks.
I'm running the Johnson42 comskip batch file and everything is working fine EXCEPT everyone of the programs is experiencing a 30 minute delay before processing starts. I'm listing the batch file below in the hope someone will see some setting I've gotten wrong that would cause this:
@echo off
cd /d c:\comskip
echo %date%,%time% - PostProcessing.bat invoked on %1 recorded from channel %2 >>processing.log
Rem list of channels to not run comskip on; PBS channels have no commercials
if "%2" == "2008" goto eof
if "%2" == "2078" goto eof
if "%2" == "2091" goto eof
if "%2" == "2092" goto eof
if "%2" == "2093" goto eof
if "%2" == "2094" goto eof
if "%2" == "2095" goto eof
if "%2" == "2096" goto eof
if "%2" == "2097" goto eof
goto next
kip
echo skipping comskip on %1; channel %2 in skip list >>processing.log
goto continue
:next
rem need to add a pause to avoid race conditions
echo --- sleeping %2 seconds to avoid simultaneous execution >>processing.log
sleep %2
rem check how many comskips are running; if 2 or more are running wait 1 minute and check again
rem the third parameter passed in npvr 1.5.36 and later is a unique recording oid number, so it makes a good filename to store the temporary count
:check
tasklist | find /c "comskip" > %3.txt
set /p count= <%3.txt
if %count% geq 2 (
echo ...%count% comskips running now, waiting 1 minute >>processing.log
sleep 60
goto check
)
del %3.txt
rem continuing now
Rem this trick also makes it possible to have dedicated comskip.ini file for certain channels.
rem if "%2" == "79" goto channel79
Rem use the default comskip.ini for all other channels
rem goto generic
rem :channel79
rem comskip --ini=channel79.ini %1
rem goto continue
:generic
echo %date%,%time% - invoking comskip on %1 >>processing.log
comskip %1
echo %date%,%time% - comskip finished with %1 >>processing.log
Greetings, I noticed that a day or so after my new NextPVR install all the TV Guide data went to (no show det). I see that if I manually update EPG through the channels menu it will populate again.
Now I notice some people in the forums talking about using Schedules Direct so this is leading me to believe there is no auto update method for the built-in Tv Guide EPG? Am I correct or can someone set me straight on the whole EPG situation?
I think this isn't possible, but I figure it doesn't hurt to ask. I still have the issue where not all of my SD channels are found in the scan of my Ceton device. Since all of my HD channels are found, I haven't put much effort into getting it resolved. One of the things I did do was look at the channel mapping page of the device after finding out about it on these forums. While there, I noticed that just like my QAM device, the various channels are distributed across many frequencies on this device. I'd assume the same frequencies, but obviously more channels over more frequencies. I wondered if say Comedy Central and Nickelodean share the same frequency, if I recorded both channels, would it use the same tuner like QAM does. The answer was no.
So, my wishlist is that if it is possible, support multiple stations that share the same frequency on a CableCard device being able to share a tuner.
FYI - I am loving that I can record the full padding for adjacent shows on the same channel using a single tuner.
Not so long ago I build a new htpc with an Athlon A10 4.4GHz cpu and a 4Tb raid array, this gives me enough space and power to do all processing (comskip, srt extraction etc), so I really want to keep this computer as my htpc. But unfortunately this new motherboard does not handle my USB tuners well. The tuners work for a while and delivers data but then stops. This hangs NDigitalHost process which in turn freezes the recording service and I miss recordings, epg update etc and have all sorts of problems. I have tried both usb3 and usb2 connectors, usb3- and usb2-hubs (powered and unpowered) cross connected in every combination but no luck. The tuners works excellent on my other computers so they are ok.
So, I had the idea of putting all the usb tuners on a "spare" computers which is mostly used for email and occational Solitaire games (and very rarely browsing men's websites ), and let this computer feed the data to my htpc via the IPTV device. Can the iptv device handle multiple channel requests and stream from several tuners on the remote computer?
I've got mine working with Win10 x64, but I've got this strange issue where I can't seem to get to the Ceton diagnostics webpage.
- I have a Ceton network connection at 192.168.200.2
- I can ping the actual Ceton card which is at 192.168.200.1
- But if I go to http://192.168.200.1, I just get "cant reach this page"
Now if I swap back my old hard drive and boot back into Win7, I get all these same IPs and I can get to the diagnostics site at http://192.168.200.1.
If anyone has a similar Win10 setup, can you check to see if you can get to http://192.168.200.1 ?
