Now that NextPVR provides artwork support for Schedules Direct, I think that there should also be a better integration with Emby. Emby provides a very nice layout for these artworks and sections for ongoing and upcoming shows. There is a NPVR plugin in Emby, but it doesn't automatically get new artworks unless you manually click them in NPVR and refresh the Live TV guide.
I have just changed the recording service to use a user account so that I can use the Archive function to move recordings I want to keep to the server.
The Computer boots direct to this Administrator account with no logon or password required.
Are there any disadvantages of not using the Local System Account?
1, everytime I move the mouse to third bottom of the screen, there's a big bar at the bottom that I don't really care for.
Can I disable it or quickly make it go away? at the moment I have to wait for it to go away and it's covering the 1/3 bottom of the screen
2, Sometimes at random, the Now Playing layer comes up unwarranted, while pressing Esc works to make it go away, pressing esc twice kills the live stream and brings me back to menu, is there a better way to disable this altogether perhaps?
I have a pair of Colussus cards in my system; capturing from a pair of cable boxes, and I'm noticing that some of the recordings are getting written in a rather corrupt state. I know from reading over the years, that NPVR just does a copy from the card to the disk without much processing, so I'd love to have anybody chime in and help me see if I can find where the issue might be.
Here's what I typically see...one of these recorded flawlessly, the other's all are way too small for 30 minutes of data off the Colossus.

The files do have contents to them, but it's almost like the frame markers are all set in the file but the actual frames may not have always been written. A quick run through VideoReDo's quick stream fix makes a file that skips around like a flea on a hot plate.

There's just not enough frames to make up 30 minutes of video...

I got desperate last week, and re-installed windows and everything completely fresh on my box.
Any experiences to share? Something jump out in the logs enclosed?
Hi - New to posting, long time lurker. I had what *appeared* to be a seamless upgrade to 3.4.8 but now finding some recordings are not actually recording, but others are. The ones that don't record seem to log a .ts file of about 10 Mb in size. Others record fine. Anyone have suggestions? If it helps, in the attached log files - the "Wake up Wisconsin" from this morning 4/28 recorded fine. Deadliest Catch at 6P this afternoon - not so much. Any advice appreciated.
Have been updating my PCs for ages now with new versions of NextPVR without any issues until the other day.
Server and both PC clients have all been updated.
Some channels play live TV on clients without any problems others consistently freeze after a few seconds on playing OK. By freeze I mean that the sound and image both stop although a tap on the ESC key gets you back to the program guide.
Three sets of logs attached.
- One with server playing channel Quest OK.
- Other two are with the client playing Quest when it freezes.
FYI: I upgraded to NPVR 3.4.8 over the weekend, but I don't know if that makes a difference.
Tonight I had several shows recording at once from a combination of regular HDHRs (ATSC via BDA/NDigitalHost) and HDHR Primes (CableCard via NRecord). And I was watching a show recorded before on the NMT. Several times I noticed that my playback would hang for several seconds, so I began to investigate.
What I found was that when my playback would hang, there were HUGE (48-65 MB/s) writes going to the recording disk (a local SATA drive) for one of the shows being recorded from an HDHR Prime tuner. So I began to watch the physical disk activity on the recording drive more carefully. What I found was that for the shows being recorded from the ATSC HDHR, there would be pretty consistent writes (1.6-1.8 MB/s) to the .ts file and (about 2 KB/s) to the timing.info file. And for shows being recorded from the HDHR Prime, there would be periods of many minutes between writes to the .ts file and when they did occur, they were these huge 48-65 MB/s writes for about 30 seconds each that would temporarily block out the reads for the playback. (Upon more investigation, I am wondering if these may not be writing out to the physical disk until the recording completes and then writing the entire file at once!)
These recordings are all going to the same physical disk, so the Windows caching, etc. should be the same. Which leads me to think that somehow NPVR is doing something differently in the writing of the files between the ones written by NDigitalHost and the ones written by NRecord. Any ideas, sub?
On 3.3.8 with Schedules Direct I was getting 12 days of EPG, after upgrading to 3.4.8 I only get 8 days now. I understand the Schedules Direct interface changed, is 8 days going to be the new "norm or am I missing a new setting somewhere?
