The Xcard has a very good RGB output and I use it on a scart TV. I currently use XBMC with a XBox 1, but this one starts to have insufficient power to read x264 encoding. I would replace my old XBox 1 by a HTPC with XCard as video output to keep RGB quality on my CRT TV. Sometime I can switch to HDMI out to use this HTPC on a video projector.
I've been using NPVR for years with my WinTV-HVR-950Q, which didn't come with remote. I just bought a new WinTV-HVR-955Q, which came with the new credit card remote (PT# R-005).
I have both WinTV 7 and NVPR 3.4.8 installed and I have been trying to configure the irremote.ini file. I have some funtions working, such as directional arrows and the OK and the Back button. What I would really like to get working is the TV button to start NPVR, the red Power button to exit NPVR and the VOLUP and VOLDOWN buttons.
I have created the title [NPVR] and copied the section from title [WINTV7], then modified the TV=, GO=, VOLUP= and VOLDOWN= to what I thought would work. What am I doing wrong?
I have just installed the next pvr for the first time, it appeared to install and scan for channels correctly. However when viewing HD channels I get a brilliant picture but no sound and conversely when viewing SD channels I get sound and no picture. It would appear to be a codec issue but I know more about Einstiens Theory of Relativity than I do about codecs.
The pvr menu says audio stream is disabled but I cannot find how to enable it. I have included scteenshot of the decoder setup window but nothing I alter here makes any difference.
I would appreciate any feedback on this issue. I should note that I also have Windows Media Center installed and it works fine. My System is using onboard sound and graphics through an intel i5 processor and windows 8.1 Pro (64bit)
For those of you that are little to fast in deleting your recordings.
I was deleting a bunch of recordings via the NextPVR Recording sub menus. One of the recordings was one of those 2 hour recording that contain 2 episodes. Well I had watched the 1st hour but forget that I had not watched the 2nd hour. Click on Delete and by by 2 hour recording. Tried the usual file recovery methods and nothing:mad:. I then remembered that I had created a Windows System Image the week before and wondered is there was any way I could restore a individual file form that system image:confused:. After a Google search I found this http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/windows...windows-8/. I followed the instructions and I was able to recover the recording off of my System Image.
Note: this only works if your are on Windows 8.0 or 8.1 and you use the built in Create System Image feature located at the bottom of the File History window. File History is located in the Control Panel.
