Maybe it would be good idea to use small RAM buffer when directory is not specified.
It's not rare that users are not aware of RAM disks... is it stupid to build a HTPC with a SSD drive only?:confused:
After installing a HD5450 video card of a different brand, I now have flickering on some channels, with USA the best example. The flickering is a lightening-darkening of the overall picture at about a 2-3 Hz rate. I think I may have had this in the past, but I don't recall what fixed it, or if it went away. Here are the specifics:
Win 7 Home Premium
MS DTV-DVD video decoder
AC3 Filter audio decoder
EVR renderer
All others default
HD Homerun Prime tuner
I did not do anything to the video drivers; I just let Windows do its thing. The AMD driver is 12.x or something like that, checked in Device Manager.
The channel (USA) plays in HDHomerun View with no flicker. A recording from USA plays in VLC with no flicker. VLC says the file is 1080i.
In NPVR, live TV flickers as well as multiple recordings from the channel. I think PBS is 1080i, and it plays fine, as do all broadcast channels, so not all 1080i is affected.
I ran the latest NPVR installer to get all the updates; no difference.
The file plays fine over the network on my NPVR test box running an earlier install of 3.4.8.
The NPVR log is unremarkable, but I'll get if needed.
I installed NextPVR 3.4.8 on a Windows 7 Pro 64bit server. The source is an HD HomeRun Prime. I configured the devices and can see all three tuners with 211 channels each. When I select Live TV, the screen is blank. If I start Windows Media Center, I can what Live TV with no issue. Did I miss something in the configuration?

I am moving over from using BeyondTV because I would like to integrate a HD-PVR 2 which I have connected to my Cable STB. I also have two Hauppauge 1600 tuners which I drive with an antenna for OTA reception. I have gotten the 1600's integrated in and the HD-PVR 2 recognized, EPG loaded, etc. Where I am having problems is figuring out how to get NPVR to send the channel commands to the STB through the USB-UIRT. I am using EventGhost and the USB-UIRT for controlling my Kodi front-end and other programs. I downloaded HIP to give it a try but I am missing something in understanding how to get this configured. I have searched the forum (and the Wiki) and although there are lots of hints I cannot find a post/entry that walks through how to set up NPVR and the USB-UIRT blaster. In BTV this was integrated in the package so I have yet to put this part of the chain together.
Any help or a link to an explanation would be great!
Hi I am hoping somebody can help with a problem I am having. I have just installed NextPVR. I am using an EPG datasource which I download from Icetv. I have setup all the channels in NextPVR and I go to the guide in NExtPVR and it works, shows next 7 days worth of Guide Data. I also have installed the Kodi Plugin, I look at the EPG there, and it shows the next 7 days worth. However when i load up NEWA everything is blank under Guide. Nothing is showing. I have tried restarting, reinstalling to no avail.
If I go back to when I first installed I did a EPG scan with the tuner which grabbed a few hours worth. If i move the guide back to that range it shows what was grabbed there, but it doesn't appear to be using the EPG Datasource same as NextPVR & Kodi Plugin.
Hi - just bought a HDHomerun device in the UK - the channel listing within the homerun device web page is correct, however when Nextpvr scans for the channels, the channels are not ordered correctly and do not match the order they appear on the homerun device. Is this a known issue or a feature?
I just installed NextPVR and I'm trying to scan for new channels. It finds 118 channels (by my count) then suddenly crashes at the very end (no error message other than a Windows message reporting "NPVR has stopped working.")
Windows 7 Home 64bit.
K-World USB ATSC tuner stick.
NPVR detects the tuner and attempts a scan. It finds plenty of channels, but after hitting frequency 69, the program spontaneously "stops working" for no apparent reason.
I have disabled my AV software (Avast) and run the program as Admin. Version 3.4.8 of NPVR downloaded from this site.
It seems that if I am watching Live TV on a client PC, then put the client PC to sleep while live TV is playing, then later wake the PC, NPVR freezes most of the time.
After waking the PC, I either get a black screen or the Guide is displayed. If the guide is displayed, sometimes I can resume watching LiveTV, but most of the time the guide freezes. In order to recover from this "freeze" is to shutdown, then restart NPVR on the client.
Is this the expected behavior of NPVR in this scenario?
