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?
A while back I posted a problem of the guide not updating even though my xml file had updated. To my understanding NPVR would lose my channels after awhile. Has there been a fix to this. I am having to go in and remap my channels every few months.
Trying to get MCEBuddy and Plex working with NextPVR (for when I travel, have converted videos available). That said, for some sporting events I would like the subtitle information stored in the name (like Name-Subtitle-Date). Is this possible? I don't see the option in settings, rather just series information.
Or perhaps can this be stored in metadata somehow?
A newbie here, and I have to say - quite impressed by iNEWA. It's very cool! Just one issue I noticed - it seems to fail when I go to the TV Guide (or try to go there at least ... ).
Is this a known issue, or am I doing something new / dumb?
I type the localhost:8866/guide2.aspx in my browser address bar and get a great program guide. In the upper right area there is a config button. A click on that gets a log in and password screen. I can not find anything on setting that up to get into the config area. Some info on that?
I am running a client/server configuration where I put the server to sleep if not in use. Currently, I use a script (which works), that wakes the server via magic packet, enters a polling loop until the server DB wakes, and then starts NPVR on the client. Although the process works, it takes a while for the script to execute and start NPVR. I am wondering if this process could be sped up by having NPVR, in client mode, automatically send a magic packet to the server, go into a wait state until the server wakes and the DB is available, then enter the desired NPVR mode?
If the client tries to access the server's database when server is off-line, a "Server database not found" message appears. Clicking the "OK" button clears that message only to be replaced by "unhandled exception" message, displaying a "continue" button. Pressing the continue button only brings back the unhandled exception message again and on and on - in an infinite loop. Only killing the nextpvr task in task manager seems to rid this message. Not very user-friendly, IMO.
The above suggestion would eliminate the infinite loop and hopefully start NPVR on client side much faster.
