Hello,

I have a strange situation. My computer bluescreened during a recording (I'm running Windows 10 Technical Preview, and build 9879 has turned out to be more instable than the previous one, so I doubt the bluescreen is related to NPVR). After reboot, NVPR started with a new recording to continue the remainder of the program.

The first part is visible in the recordings-section, but NPVR cannot play back the file. The progress bar at the bottom has very large values both left and right, and the screen stays black on playback (progress indicator does not seem to move, counters stay constant). Interestingly, I can play the file in other software.

So for sure it is not a big deal, but I wonder if it is possible to play it in NPVR...

Does anyone know of such a device and is it capable of receive the HD channels.

I would also like to be able to watch one stream and record from another.

Whenever I try to launch live Tv I get the following error msg:

Unable to communicate with recording service

What can I do to solve this problem.

I'm under Windows 8.1 and using Hauppauge HVR-950Q

Here's the logs.

So I picked up a HDHomeRunPrime cable card tuner to go along with my regular HDHR tuner (non-cablecard). After a fiasco with Cox cable I managed to get the cablecard working and the channels scanned into NPVR. The question now, is it possible to combine the two overlapping channel lists? The HDHR only has 8 QAM channels mapped, the prime has 60 channels, but the 8 are duplicates. Is there a way to map them so the next available tuner picks up the recording or am I stuck with two separate channel lists that I have to pick from when selecting to record?

The missus just informed me there's a new, local to us, Freeview UK channel called 'Made In Leeds' on channel 8. How can I get this channel?

So my other program, Netflix Viewer is caput, now that Netflix has retired their API. However, while trying to optimize my eventghost codes to work with Netflix through the web, I ultimately decided that a custom browser would work better. If anyone is interested, I designed a webbrowser to work optimally (or as close as I could muster) with Netflix. Please take a look and let me know if you have any suggestions for improving the program. Current features:

Ctrl - O --> This opens an options menu, so you can specify default sort criteria for the webpages; which genres you want to auto-scroll through; and default zoom level for the webpage.
Ctrl - P --> Move cursor to profile change location on screen
Ctrl - S --> Move cursor to search box location on screen
Arrows --> On home page left and right arrows move to scroll arrow locations, making it easier to navigate through the movies. On genre pages, left and right move the mouse left and right across the screen.
Ctrl - Left/Right --> RW/FF on movie screen, advance to next genre in scroll list on other screens.
Up/Down PgUp/PgDn --> Scroll window
Alt-F4 --> Close Program
Esc --> Return to "Home"
Enter --> Left mouse click

[Version Info]
1.0.0.2 - Added support for OK button to be left mouse click.
1.1 - Added support, so monitor doesn't shut off during watching.

Hello,

I'm new to nPVR and this forum. I've read hundreds of pages today in an effort to learn. I'll continue to read but I have a quick question about channels and the HD-PVR. If anyone can shed some light on this I would appreciate it.

nPVR version 3.3.8
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Time Warner Cable Digital TV Set Top Box
Hauppauge HD-PVR 1212 Component & SPDIF
WinTV v7.2.32311 (CD 3.9c) (working for Live TV viewing)

Does the LiveTV function of nPVR REQUIRE an EPG and channel list? I don't know how to "scan" for channels or get EPG data for the HD-PVR. There is no actual tuner, it is only a capture device. I have set up one "channel" called "Component" on channel number 3. LiveTV does not show anything (black screen on "Component" channel). But, if I start a recording from the guide on that same channel and then "play" the recording I can simulate watching LiveTV, just slightly delayed. Why does the recording of "channel 3" work but viewing in LiveTV does not? I guess I don't understand what the LiveTV function is looking for that the Recording function is not. Could it be a channel list/guide? Confused.

Thank you,
Sean

I have my recordings set to: D:\DVR

Inside I created rename.bat: forfiles /S /M *.ts /C "cmd /c rename @file @fname.mpg"

I was wondering if I could get NextPVR to auto run this batch file after it finishes a recording.

My Blu-Ray player can't see the .ts files from my server but if I rename them .mpg it can see the files and play them. This way I can use my Blu-Ray player to watch my recordings in another room. Thanks for any help.

I searched around the Internet and found no answer to this. Is there an iOS client somewhere, which does live TV, watching recordings and setting recordings remotely?

I have been using Schedules Direct for years with NPVR but always importing it using mc2xml and XMLTV files. When this stopped working for me recently I decided to switch to using the built-in support for schedules direct in NPVR.

I deleted all of my channels and imported all the channels from my schedules direct lineup. This works great but my issue is that the logical channel number assigned does not match my satellite TV provider channel number when I import channels. My family is very used to using the channel numbers from the satellite tv provider so I would like the channel numbers to match in NPVR.

I know it is possible to change the logical channel number, but with > 700 channels in the lineup, this is very tedious and time consuming to do for each channel.

Is there any easy way to change the logical tv numbers to match the satellite tv provider number? Is it possible to tell the import to use the channel number from schedules direct?

Thanks!
