Apologies in advance for what I am sure is a machine specific issue. Installed NPVR with HDHomeRun Prime. Here's what works:
1. VLC can stream from the HDHomeRun Prime directly.
2. XBMC can stream from HDHomeRun Prime directly.
3. NPVR can find the HDHomeRun prime, and scan all the channels successfully.
4. I have followed all instructions on the support page stick notes, including installing DirectX etc.
5. I have tried SAF decoders and Windows 8 Codec Pack
No matter what I try, I always get black video and no audio.
I tried using the XBMC NPVR add-on. The add-on can successfully query the channels, but when I pick any channel to watch, it ends up failing with "Tuner no longer available", and I have to kill XBMC.
Found the recording service stopped again with missed recordings. Logs and event viewer message attached. Live TV ended at about 12:59 yesterday, 12-18. The recording service was reported stopped in the Event Viewer at 13:58 yesterday when the system resumed for a scheduled recording. Live TV and the scheduled recording were on the Prime tuner. The service restarted just fine today.
I think the event above was really due to a channel list problem for Prime tuner 2.
Couple of questions:
What is the correct application setting for the Prime? NPVR or Other ATSC/QAM. I haven't been able to locate this in the forum.
It takes about 12 seconds between pushing Stop in Live TV and the return of the NPVR menu. Is this expected?
Should I clear my config file and database and start over? I have not touched them for several years, and now with the removal of network recorder and addition of the prime, as well as adding OTA tuning to one of tuners, it might be time for some housecleaning. I''m not looking forward to it, but if it's needed...
A recording service stop really hoses things. Has anyone tried a service restart on resume from sleep?
Hi,
When trying to select XMLTV as the EPG source for a channel an error dialouge pops up with the following error message!? Any ideas??
Thanks

As the title indicates, My Hauppauge digital tuner isn't finding any digital channels. I would like to try and insert them manually to see if that helps. Is it possible to do so, possibly using an xml file with the correct frequencies? I noticed there was an "Import Channels" option. I thought maybe if I could get an idea of what this file generally looks like I could alter it to attempt manual input. Is anyone able to indicate file structure for this? or alternatively provide better ideas? I am located in australia.
1. Any chance of implementing the ability to archive at folder level. I just archived a series of 40+ kids programs and it took a lot of key presses to do each individual recording.
2. This maybe to usage specific to me but I'm about to fill up a hard drive of files for me and the kids to watch while we are away from home over Christmas would it be possible to have a backup function? i.e. it copies the recording to a usb or other drive without deleting the database version?
Thanks for your hard work on NPVR, and Merry Christmas!
I'm writing a utility that will run from the postupdateepg.bat script that will add an entry to the recurring recording table based on a season and episode number or alternatively title and subtitle. I figure I shouldn't need any custom rules as I will be searching the EPG for the show details. I was wondering if there is anything else that needs to be done after adding the show to the recurring recordings table? One thing I can think of off the top of my head is how to get NPVR to rerun the scheduling so any thing I added would be scheduled to record instead of having to wait 24 hours for it to run again.
Any ideas or pointers would be appreciated. If there were anyone wanting a specific feature added to it, I'd be open to taking doing it.
Is there a good way to debug this? Windows 8.1. I can run this bat file from the command line, runs fine. I can run it from the update EPG link in the nextpvr app under channels, runs. However, the daily run at time comes, and, passes with no update. So, I look in the nrecord.log file and see:
2014-12-17 08:08:24.769 [DEBUG][10] Pre EPG Update

2014-12-17 08:10:04.838 [DEBUG][10] Skipping non-existant xmltv file: C:\ProgramData\ServerCare\WebGrab\mdb\guide.xml
Please note the non existant file does in fact exist, and, that the update epg script runs for an hour. I am not going to be using WebGrabber for when I go live with this, (will be using schedules direct but not going to purchase it until whole system is set up and all functioning as I want it) but, it's convenient for testing purposes. When the log file shows it running in 10 seconds, it's not running. But the clues are I suppose 10 seconds, and, the non existant file, and, that it works from Update EPG and command line. Sounds like security. However, I don't know what user the service runs under, and, I thought that the service as set up by the installer which runs as local system user should be fine with all default directories created by the installer, I cant seem to find anything wrong. But obviously there is. I don't really use Windows very much, so, not sure of the ins and outs or what to check.
The bat file contains:
@ECHO off
:CheckOS
IF EXIST "%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%" (GOTO BIT64) ELSE (GOTO BIT32)
:BIT64
SET ProgramPath=%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%
GOTO END
Hello!
I've got no EPG info for Cbeebies HD which is coming from Satellite tuner, but I do have EPG data for Cbeebies (Standard definition) which is coming from my freeview tuner.... is there a way I can set the Cbeebies HD channel to simply use the data from the other channel?? All data is OTA, not using any XML lists etc.
I have had NextPVR for about 5 months. It stopped working suddenly while I was watching LiveTV and recording at the same time. I tried restarting the service but it still did not work. Instead when starting up the service it either did nothing or just said "Stopped.." I tried restarting my PC but still did not work. I tried to reinstall the newest version but when it reinstalled an error occurred in the middle when the cmd prompt popped up "Process is terminated due to Stackoverflowexception". The installation finished but again when I tried to start the recording service it just said "Stopped.." I tried reinstalling the older version after uninstalling the newest version. The service still said "Stopped.." I also get a timeout error that I attached a screenshot of. when I tried to start it or nothing popped up. I looked in "C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Logs" but I do not see any files in there to post.
Specs: Windows 8.1 64bit Intel I5 4670k 3.4ghz 16gb of RAM GTX 770 2gb 128gb SSD 1tb HDD
Please let me know if you have any suggestions or how to generate an error log. Thanks
