Hi Group,

I have decided to upgrade from WIN 7 x86 to Win 8.1 x64. I am testing this on a separate drive (clean install) and have gone through hell for the past 2 weeks getting the drivers to work. But now I’m past all that and have started to load NPVR 3.4.8. My system has two 2250’s and one 1600 with a total of 5 digital and 5 analog tuners. This works fine on Win7 x86 in the same box. The problem is that not all devices are present with the new O/S.

What I found is that on the very first device scan all tuners are present, but when I return to the device screen, two analog tuners are not and remain missing thereafter.

The NPVR database shows them all, but I noticed that the 2250 ID’s are duplicated. Even so, the QAM sections work fine. Only the analog tuners fail. I tried reloading and giving them unique ID’s but the same thing occurs.

I know that others have been running NPVR with Win 8.1 so I must be missing something. I would appreciate any help on this.
I am attaching screen caps of my settings and the database files for the first and second device scan.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance for helping me out!

So I upgraded to windows 10 two days ago(upgrade from 8.1). NPVR worked great with 3.4.8 for the first few days. I noticed today that the "system" update epg wouldn't recognize the tuners to update. Every attempt after that to enter the "system" page it gave me an exception error. Having experienced a few other programs that didn't transition well, I decided best to uninstall npvr, clean all old files and reinstall a fresh version of npvr. All went fine until I went into the newly installed NPVR and it will not recognize my HDHR homerun dual (ATSC). I have verified that this is working with the hdhr setup and config page and can watch live tv with it.

I have checked the fire wall settings and believe those to be correct. Attached are my logs hopefully they reveal whatever issue it might be...

I've just made a long overdue switch from Windows Media Center to NextPVR and am very impressed so far.

I have a card with two DVB-T tuners and two DVB-S tuners on it so whenever I set up a system like this I have to spend a great deal of time merging channels across the two types of tuner and renumbering them to fit a listing I came up with for Media Center a while ago to handle Freeview and Freesat channels in one consistently grouped line-up.

While I can see you can export and import channels from individual tuners/devices, which is great for saving on rescanning, I can't see a way to export my full merged channel line-up with all its custom numbers and merged sets of four-tuner sources. Is this possible? It would be brilliant if, when I finally finish setting this up (3hrs spent so far...) I knew I'd never have to do the whole thing again if I had any computer problems!

Thanks,
Paul

I'm looking for a Media Center (DVR) replacement and NextPVR sounds very good.

I came across a problem: I'm unable to play recorded (or time-shifted live) at 1.4 pitch-corrected speed. The FF setting allows to Fast Play but the video is played too quickly and without sound.

Is it possible to reproduce Media Center [>>] button behaviour?

Thanks

so I checked here: http://www.nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php?...dReference
but I cant find a shortcut to delete recordings.

If deleting several recordings in a row, its a lot of repetitive menu clicking and a pita! Is there no keyboard shortcut I can dedicate on my control?
Thx.

I recorded a program and it plays back fine on my computer, but when I connect an HDMI cable to my Sony TV, it starts playing but then I get numerous "scene selection changed" popups until the screen basically freezes. Recordings made with Windows Media center play OK on the TV, as well as recordings made with a USB Pinnacle stick and TV6 Center. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

I set up a client PC, and when I checked "Act as client PC" it modified this setting on the server. So, my Pending Recordings list was suddenly empty on the server because it thought it was a client. I unchecked "Act as client PC" on the server to fix it and now this is unchecked on the client now? Shouldn't this be an independent/not shared setting?

I've got a bunch of WTV recorded TV shows from WMC. If used MCEBuddy to convert them to TS files and place them in the same folder that NextPVR uses for recordings, but they don't show up in the "Recordings" screen. Any Advice?

I'm having a problem with programs I record using a HDHR Prime tuner. During playback, programs will just quit or occasionally say they've come to the end of the program when that isn't the case. The Mpeg2 Video decoder I've been using is the Microsoft DTV/DVD decoder. The ComSkip bar that appears in NPVR doesn't indicate there should be any break. When I restart the program I have to start from the beginning because there is no 'resume'. The rest of the program is there and occasionally there will be additional unexplained stops during that same program although there is usually just one. This never happens on programs I'm playing where ComSkip isn't used so I'm assuming it's the problem. I've tried using the LAV (donor) video decoder but it just stalls when it hits a ComSkip commercial skip although it will resume to the proper spot if the program is restarted. Erik at ComSkip says he's working on a major rewrite of ComSkip which may help but I thought I'd also check here. Any thoughts on what I can do to improve this little problem?

Do you think purchasing the windows 10 DVD player would would be worth $15, if only for the MPEG2 codecs? Do you think the Windows codecs would be good enough to warrant $15 in comparison to something like LAV?
