I'd like to add in some custom programming on the postprocessing.bat. My question is if I process the file and change the filename as part of that conversion, then I'm assuming I need to update the filename in the sqlite npvr.db3 database as well. Do I only need to update the FILENAME field in the SCHEDULED_RECORDING table, or are there other fields that I potentially would need to update as well?
So I've been slowly tweaking and fine tuning my NextPVR setup. Excellent software BTW! I've been using it for a while but I finally went full bore and built a HTPC to use it on. Simple i3-4160 with 8TB of hard drive space, 8 gig of RAM, old school HDHomerun dual tuner, and an WinTV card I had to make up my three OTA tuners. Enough about the setup as that's another thread really. I had everything running great for a week, recording with no issues. So I threw in a postprocessing.bat with comskip in it. Well come to find out it was causing the beginning of my recordings to be corrupted. Sometimes it would even lock up NextPVR where I had to exit out of it during playback. After a bit of research I found the pattern. It was on the recordings where another had finished right before it when comskip was running. I was able to reproduce the issue by recording three things from 7p-8p then have a couple of new recordings at 8pm. I'm guessing it was just too much for the drive to handle and data was getting queued up and dropped from the tuner. I turned off comskip and the issue went away. But I want comskip right!?
I tried to do the parallelprocessing.bat file but that seems to have mixed results as for some weird reason comskip would just end in the middle of the show at random times. So I'm circling back to my initial thought of all this to do comskip at night when the PC is idle. It just makes sense to me to do this after 1am or so. Does anyone have anything setup like this already? I was thinking of making an app/script that would look through my folders for non commercial skipped files and run them through in sequential manner.
I have 3 inputs to NPVR, 2 from a HDHomerun (antenna) and 1 from Directv > Colossus.
I'm getting "no show data" where I have matching channels in the guide.... For instance
Channel 2 KDKA - source collossus/directv. guide data schedules direct satellite - I get "no guide data"
Channel 2.1 KDKA Source HDHR/antenna. guide data schedules direct satellite I get the show data (also shows mapped to Channel 2!)
OK so I am thinking the guide data and mapping are wrong for the KDKA 2.1. I go Settings > Channels > Details. Change the guide to the schedules direct antenna one. Do the pull down tab and map to 2.1. Click OK. The settings don't stay....
Any insight on what I could be doing wrong? New to NPVR and still getting a feel for the settings I think will fit my needs.
I've run across what a strange issue that started a little over a week ago. NPVR records according to the recurring schedule but once the recording is completed the database is not updated. I reboot the machine and the recordings show up as failed due to "Recording Service Not Running at time of recording" in the database. Without thinking I cleared those entries out last night. I hadn't been home for about the time it started so I figured I had lost power or something but the problem persists. I was able to successfully import the recordings using vidimport.
Any ideas where to look at what might be causing the problem, logs attached.
I just got a Gigabyte Brix to play with. I'm trying to configure it as a client. Unlike my other boxes, I installed WIN 7 Home Basic 64-BIT in this one.
My other machines are all 32-bit versions.
Problem now is I can't get around the error message:
"The DirectX runtime is not available.......".
In desparation I've installed both C++ 2008 and C++2010 runtimes; 64-bit versions.
(I even tried installing the 32 bit versions along side the 64 bit versions)
I ran the JUN_2010 DirectX 9.0c resdistr. too.
(how can I tell if it installed the 32 or 64 bit version? does it matter?)
Still can't get rid of the error.

I tried to get Comskip to run with Nextpvr but couldn't. So I now run it by dropping my video file onto a shortcut of comskip.exe.
I also am unable to get comclean to run with Nextpvr so am running it the same way as Comskip.
Problem I have is that Comclean will generate a .m2v (video) file and a .mp2 (audio) file of my .mpg file. However it then deletes these files and leaves no evidence that it ever ran.
I am running Comclean 2 and have Cuttermaran 1.7 installed on both a Windows 7 and a Windows 8.1 machine. Results are as described above for both machines.
Acquired a WD My CLoud over the weekend that I would like to use to store live tv recordings on and broadcast to two wd tv "extenders" via the media server. I thought I had this all figured out until i tried to record a live tv show and nothing records on the cloud. Here are my specs:
HDHR Homerun dual (non-h.264) is cat5e wired to gigabit router. Windows 8.1 PC (NPVR software) is cat 6 to router. My Cloud is cat 6 wired to router. I can recognize the mycloud and have setup mapped network shares under my PC in windows 8.1 folder heiarchy. The drive is mounted and has a letter assigned to the folder I want to record to. The NPVR settings have the letter assigned as the defualt recording folder. When I press record or set a recording, NPVR acts normal and does not give any warnings. When I go to the cloud to see if it recroded it has nothing in the folder
A couple of thoughts:
-Firewall security isn't allowing writing ability
-incorrect settings in either the mycloud or NPVR system
-unable to complete this due to security issues with piracy laws
Any ideas would be helpful as this is my first (sort of NAS setup)
