Win10 rolled out today and I upgraded my Windows 7 machine running NPVR and a whole lot of other stuff - very few issues experienced and all appears OK now - the two Win 8.1 clients could not initially access the server share and issued an error when I launched NPVR in client mode - they could not access the win network share - after much fooling around I realized all that was required was a re-boot of the client machines, for some reason.

The only other issue I experienced was not NPVR-related - one of my VMWare services was not set to Automatic and did not start initially after upgrade. This upgrade went well enough that I will soon upgrade my existing clients, both running 8.1 - I'm fairly confident all should work well - the Win 7 machine I successfully upgraded had never run 8 or 8.1 and is running many apps and services, so seems the biggest possible place for issues. All my Win 6 drivers and devices appear to be functional, as are existing apps.

I would want to do so, if possible, from PostUpdateEPG.bat script. I embedded this but it does not work:

net stop "NPVR Recording Service"
net start "NPVR Recording Service"

Not really a Windows guy, but, wanting to restart it each morning as I have found it hanging sometimes.

There is no audio when I use Live TV.
Playback of a recording, there is no audio with nextPVR.
- There is audio using WinTV 8 both live and recorded.
- Location: USA
- Using a Hauppauge Colossus connected via RCA to audio out and component connected to video out of a DirecTV set-top box.
- Windows 7 Home Premium - 64-bit
- NextPVR 3.4.8
- There are 6 or 7 choices for audio codecs in the drop-downs.

Hi,

Is it possible to get a USB capture device, preferebly Hauppauge, that will allow me to plug in my Satellite dish? Specifically I want to record NZ Freeview from my satellite dish, using a USB capture device, not a PCI or PCIe card.

I've looked at the 850 and 955Q devices on this page: http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/p...ernal.html .. but I can't quite tell if they receive DVB-S. Seeing as they don't say it, I'm guessing they don't.

The reason I want to use USB is that I'd like to put NPVR on a VM and use software to pass the USB port through to the VM (usb-over-network.com or eltima.com or flexihub.com).

Cheers
Julian.

I have a server which runs NPVR with 2 x HDhomerun tuners I do all my recording and storage on this server. I also have a Kodi Media Center with 2 x avermedia PCIe tuners. I use these avermedia tuners for live TV only on that media center as it functions a whole lot better doing it locally.

It would be great if the NPVR systems could see each other and things like recording directories, recording schedule, and guide data be shared/synchronised. I suppose the end result I would want is that the guide, recording schedule, and recording directory be shared but the default tuner and tuner buffer directory for each system can be changed.

Since Msoft moved to Rovi, I have duplicate display-name problems. I use mc2xml for guide updates. The display-name in the xmltv.xml file is duplicated for channels 377 and 378, for example. Both have a display name of SHON. When I import channels, I only get one,377. If I manually add the other, they both show the same programming in the guide. I use the "Display Name" option for mc2xml, that is, the channel number is not part of the display-name. This is because the listing gets too crowded. Anyone know a way to get around this, or do I just wait and hope Rovi fixes it?

Hi,
When recording programs back to back on channels they are switching tuners,
For Example
when recording a program on 1 Channel on Tuner A and recording the program proceeding it will swap to Tuner B causing the recording on Tuner B to stop which also has another show set to record on the same Mux.


logs attached

Thanks

When I open Live TV I see a picture for a second then it goes blank. I do have sound.

Is it possible to have no guide and still setup a recording?

Is it possible to only refresh a single channel using .xml file? I have to run "Update EPG" which takes a long time to complete and I am only trying to fix 1 channel...

Thanks for your help.

VB,

This shows up for 3 recordings in newa, all on July 25, screen capture in attachment along with nrecord.log, which doesn't seem to show anything to me. It should have stopped around 8PM or so, however, you will see in the log that future records started, which is very strange. Not a single recording was recorded on the following night. So, would presume something did happen to the recording service.

There is no crash dump log in the c:\temp directory

This is a hdhomerun tuner recording 6 shows at the same time. Works most nights, every few weeks or so, I find the recording service not running.

Is there anything I can do to try and help find out what is going wrong?
