I have the HTPC setup in my signature below and for noisy fan reasons I would like to look at putting it in the hall cupboard of our newly renovated home, which is complete with patch panel and 3 runs of Cat5e and ethernet (RJ45) ports at each end (from patch panel to living/TV area).
I'm thinking I'll need to keep the Sky box and remote receiver at the tv end, and plug them into some kind of silent client (?), and then run a link through the ethernet connection back to the HTPC to access NPVR.
Can anybody give me an idea of what piece(s) of kit might be suitable?? Budget would be in the area of a couple of hundred bucks - hopefully I'm not dreaming.
For the next release, would you consider adding the Day-of-the-Week to the format of the Air Date columns in Manage Recordings and Episode Search results?
First time install of NPVR failed on win 8.1 Pro 64bit with media center I am looking for a DVR program to replace SageTV.
The NPVR program folder was not created in either the c:\program files (x86) folder or in c:\program files folders. However the folders and files were created in c:\users\public\npvr. When I try to re-run the installer it skips all the program files thinking that they are already installed. NPVR is not listed in the Control Panel Programs and Features to uninstall. I can see some Registry entries were made so it appears the installer thinks this is fully installed. Please advise how to repair this installation or remove it entirely and start over.
Happened a couple of times in the last few days, never happened before.
With 2 DVB-T2 nano sticks and 2 T2 muxes here in the UK, Live TV has been thrown back to the Main Menu (with the device needed for a recording message) to start a recording on the other mux. Immediately going back to the Live TV program from the menu starts the other tuner and it can be watched.
Is this the expected behavior? I would have thought the logic would be to use the idle tuner for the recording.
If this isn't expected, one of the very resent patches may have broken something and I'll set up some scenarios and post the logs.
Apologies in advance for being lost with where to direct this inquiry. Hopefully someone here can point me in right direction. I tried to install latest version of NextPVR on Windows 7 64 bit machine. When I tried to look at channels I got a complex message that basically (I think) tells me that my SQLite database installation is missing or hosed for unknown reasons. The beginning of the complex message reads "System.Data.SQLIte.SQLiteException ..... SQL logic error or missing database ....." Assuming my presumption about a messed up or missing SQLite installation is correct, how do I approach fixing this or if not fixing confirming that this is indeed the problem I feel pretty inadequate here because all of the reading on this subject I've done is way over my head. Any clues on what to do or where to look would be much appreciated.
(Link only as good now, before I am sure, future undiscussed, changes are made.)
[h=2]Integration[/h]NextPVR provides rich integration services, providing it's own UI on other device like Samsung and LG device, and providing backend TV services to other applications like Kodi/XBMC and MediaBrowser.[/h]
Is that really on other device? Or may it be perhaps other device(S). Plural. OR "on another device like"?
Still recovering from a forced move from WinXP to Win7 install.
When I play back a recorded video in Windows media Player quality is good and smooth.
Playback in NPVR is low quality (which wife can almost live with) but jittery (which she cant). I honestly can't remember many settings from old install install (although I backed them up if that will help). I know I played a bunch with codecs going back to GBPVR times.
So I am running VMR9 which is better than EVR but VMR9 does not have as good aspect ratio on wide screen (still leave black on all four sides vs EVR which allows me to fill horizontal properly and duplicates what I see in windows media play)). I am using Microsoft DVD video renderer. FFDshow does not seem to display (blank video).
I am new here. and trying to use Nextpvr to record shows from hdhomerun prime. I used web portal to record shows. However, every time, I am only able to schedule 10 day recording. after that I have to schedule it again. I wonder if there is some setting I missed. That does not make sense to have such limit for show recording.
On the NEWA cleint web page there is an area of drop down boxes such as "Choose genre, date, time & channel group selection". In NPVR, I have setup a channel group of selected channels named "Favorites".
For the channel group, the NEWA client defaults to "All Channels". Is there a way to set the default to the subgroup that I named "favorites"?
I've messed up my channels/epg. I have Nextpvr installed on a windows 7 x64 box (new install) Sources are directv/colossus + a HD Homerun Dual tuner. Schedules Direct for epg data.
I blindly loaded all the directv channels, then mapped my OTA from the silicon dust. Wow I had duplicate channels.... Not so bad for some of the stuff but Directv has SD + HD of many channels plus loads of channels I don't get.
This is where I've managed to get things messed up.
I tried to edit the channel list @ schedules direct thinking I could reduce the epg list. This is where things went bad,
I couldn't get the guide reduced.....
So tried deleting the channels and adding back in â unchecking the ones I don't need. Thats wher I am getting the unhandled exception error.
Stuck with no channels now on my directv source.
Suggestions?
Thanks
Ronald
