I recently updated to 3.4.8 and have been using the metadata feature on new movies that I have been ripping from dvd's. I run into an issue where on certain occasions there are multiple movies with the same name and I picked the wrong one. For example, 101 dalmations there is the old animated one and the newer remake. The first time I selected the remake data and need the animated one. The folder graphic is changed in the folder but it still displays the old graphic from the first selection I made. If I change views then it shows the correct image but the view with the synopsis still shows the wrong picture. Even after shutting down and restarting. Is there anyway to refresh the data to make it read the folder again? I've even deleted it and then copied back and it still shows the wrong image.
I know it probably isn't tested much yet, but since Windows 10 isn't going to allow Media Center any longer, I decided to look into some alternatives.
NextPVR + Kodi seems like the best option.
I installed it on Windows 8.1 x64 and everything was working perfectly.
The system would wake from sleep a couple minutes before recording time, then idle back to sleep once finished.
I then upgraded to the latest Windows 10 build (10074) and it no longer wakes up properly.
Checking the logs and the Event Viewer, it appears to still request the wake up, but the system doesn't do it.
I checked to make sure all drivers are installed and up to date as well.
I have attached a zip file of the logs in case there is something I missed.
Has anyone else run into this?
Will there be support for Windows 10?
I really hope there is a solution, or maybe it is just something broken in Windows 10 currently.
I am going to submit feedback to Microsoft as well just in case.
I want to use my ATi Theater 550 Pro in NextPVR, but it does not show up in the device list.
I looked here http://nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Wa...alogDevice and I ran filtercheck.exe (which needed VC++ 2008 runtimes installed before it would run) but the devices listed were already in the AnalogDevices.xml file.
Attached is the filtercheck logfile. What do I do now?
I have 3 different Samsung Smart TV's. This app is excellent on all of the TV's, but on the biggest of the 3 (an UE55HU7200), it has an annoying blink whilst playing HD video. The other two play the same clip without missing a beat.
The blink often seems to occur at a scene change, as though the TV cant quite keep up with the stream. It's repeatable, so I pretty certain its not a comms issue. The TV is hard wired to a gigabit lan.
Has anyone else seen this? or have I just got a dodgy TV. I've not seen it happen in any other apps (Netflix for instance) or on OTA HD.
I'm having a problem with some of my channels in NPVR. I have spent hours troubleshooting with no luck. I found an error on the channels that won't work in the logs and googling it and looking through the forums didn't turn up anything.
I was wondering if anyone has come across the message STREAM_TYPE_UNKNOWN in there ndigitalhost log file? I had no problems before upgrading to 3.4.8 from 3.3.8. The upgrade might be unrelated but the timing is too close to ignore.
Random channels are no longer working after the upgrade. I get the STREAM_TYPE_UNKNOWN error in the logs. Might not be the problem but its all I could find in the logs.
I cleared the logs and then started a known working channel and it worked great. Then stopped the channel. I then tried starting a known bad channel and got a black screen and then stopped the channel and then the service. I then added the log files to the rar.
Hi all, just trying this htpc front end just got into this htpc thing. this is the first program i choose for all in one setup being not too sure how to setup the movies i had and tv series i have got that i have ripped to my hard drives i found out the folder structure for tv series so the tvdb.com can understand them and give me all the bells and whistles lol all so same for the movies where it gets metadata from themoviedb or IMDB .
But i see now where in the inter face in nxtpvr for these two things, i've search forum but when i mention in the search about tv series it show topic's about recorded tv series via tv guide epg data nothing on about actual dvd rips of tv series where metadata comes from tvdb.com
so i ask to all user's that have riped dvd movies and tv series from dvd also how do you set them up with the metadata to look fancy
I'm using latest NextPVR 3.4.8 on my Windows 8.1, AMD A10 7850k /A88x chipset PC.
My tuner card TBS 6991 SE is installed properly. No other tuner application is installed or running.
Channel-Scan works fine.
When accessing "Live TV" always the following message appears: "The tuner you were using was required for a recording.
Would you like to switch to watching a recording, or exit back to the menu."
I have no recording in progress nor do I have scheduled any EPG update during this time.
LiveTV is not working. I have attached the log's and screenshot of this error message.
I have no idea what could be the resaon. I tried already what is mentioned in the forum about similar error message from other users, like disabling the EPG-update or choosing a time late at night for the EPG update.
Thanks for any hint or help.
I tried to use the "Watch Live" option this weekend and was met with "This plug-in is not supported" in Chrome.
Long story short, I had to re-enable NPAPI plug-in support. (In Chrome) chrome://flags/#enable-npapi click "Enable" and restart Chrome.
Soon, it appears, that option will no longer work as Chrome (and Firefox) are removing NPAPI plug-in support all together, which includes VLC. There are no plans to update the VLC plugin at this time and they suggest moving to HTML5.
I figured I would post the information here as NEWA relies on VLC.
tl;dr: If you need audio/video playback inside the browser, I can only advise that you start transition to HTML5. In a few months, it will be too late. Better yet, use the VLC or a LibVLC-based application on the desktop.
'Launch external player' should theoretically still work in NEWA. That option never worked correctly for as long as I can remember. "Watch live" using the browser plug-in worked just fine.
When I play a TS file with an SRT file in the same folder, using the "[videofile].default.srt" nomenclature, it plays the subtitles automatically. However if the SRT file contains display colour codes (e.g. <font color="#ffff00">) it displays the code and still shows the text in white, rather than converting the tagged text to the colour needed.
If however I take the same TS file and convert it to the Matroska MKV format, including an identical SRT file as the default, then NextPVR displays all the subtitles and colours correctly.
Is there a way to make it work properly without having to convert to MKV?
Background in case you are wondering why - I take recordings from satellite German, French or Spanish channels. I grab the subtitles, and with the help of the free "SubTitleEdit" I manipulate the subtitles so that I have, in one SRT file, the foreign language in one colour on top, and the English, in another colour, underneath, thus getting two languages on screen at the same time. My wife, who can speak these languages pretty well, enjoys the foreign version while I (linguistic ignoramus!) can still watch the programmes thanks to the English subs (sometimes poor Google translations of the foreign language, but I can get the gist, and it provides additional amusement at times). We have found the colours an essential aid to quickly focus on the right text as it flashes up.
Any thoughts, anyone? I already have a solution of sorts, but I'd like to avoid the step of converting to MKV if possible.
After upgrading to 3.4.8, video playback in NPVR is black with no audio, true also for WMP. VLC, WinTV7 and my NMT fed by NPVR all play back properly. Files (.ts) recorded before the upgrade play back properly in NPVR and WMP. I've done a re-install (manually removing Public and Program Files folder leftovers) and also tried changing decoders and renderers, to no effect. Attached is the NPVR.log, where the older file played back but not the newer (S00E00). Can anybody tell me what I am missing?
