I have Cyber link Power DVD and would like to add it to the settings in NPVR decoders section. The MPEG2 decoder is disabled and will not allow any change. What do I need to do to set this?
This is a minor point but on my latest installation on a win7 professional 64 computer, NPVR always comes up in the back. I know to right click on the screen and select "stay on top" and that works. But the next time I start NPVR I have to do that over again. I don't have to do that on the machine running win7 professional 32. Is there a Win setting that always allows a new program to start on top or am I missing a NPVR setting?
Due to serious comp issues, I had to restore my HD to a version that was approx 2 years old, when I was using xmltv as epg source- back then when I began having problems with xml, I switched to schedules direct and everything has run smooth as butter since. The system was so stable I didn't really have to get into any setting tweaks, so I have forgotten much of what I knew when I first setup. I have updated nextpvr to the most current, but all my settings "think" they're two years old - The problem occurs when trying to change epg from xml to Schedules Direct. Every time, it says I have wrong user name and password. I have confirmed directly with SD website and everything should be fine - my account is active and I have correct user name and pass. I have been in the channels menu, selecting a channel, selecting "details" and trying to change to SD there. Is there some kind of "master" setting for epg that I should be looking for ?

Not sure if this has been noted elsewhere, I thought I'd post here incase anyone else runs into this problem.
I noticed my EPG update started failing on 2/10/2015. After some investigation, I noticed xmltv.exe started failing with the message:
Code:
Service description 'http://docs.tms.tribune.com/tech/tmsdatadirect/schedulesdirect/tvDataDelivery.wsdl' can't be loaded: 500 Can't connect to docs.tms.tribune.com:80 (connect: Unknown error)
I suspect this has to do with the changes Schedules Direct has made and they turned off their old feed.
You'll need to download the new version of XMLTV (I used v0.5.66) and reconfigure. Once I did that, all is good again.
I have a problem when watching recordings, after about 5-10 minutes the screen goes black, audio stutters and then a few minutes later the PC reboots. It doesn't happen with all recordings, DVB-T recordings seem ok.
I notice that when I watch live tv that every few minutes the playback stutters slightly, I'm not sure if this would cause a problem with a recordings?
Signal is strong and I don't experience any problems when using ServerWMC as the backend.
I read on a comparison of PVR software on Wiki that Nextpvr has the ability to skip commercials. Is this so? If so how do you set it up?
Also I setup several shows on Wednesday afternoon to be recurring but those shows, which broadcast on Wednesday night did not record. They now show up in "Pending" for next week. Why did that happen?
For those of you who like the NextPVR Interface and like extenders not PC's the new RPi2 could be for you Here I have made a demo where Kodi autostarts web client, bypassing the Kodi UI almost completely I decided to leave sub's PVR Addon enabled for comparison to show that web client is a little peppier on startup, turning it off will mean x-newa runs that much faster.
The HDPVR didn't get catch the full boot, probably because the signal dropped, about 20 seconds are missing. I use FN keys to navigate if you wonder how I get from the Recording to TV Guide. Channel 551 is HDPVR LiveTV which I had problems with on the RPi.
At the end is a little fun where Searchlite shows the trailer, and passes info to whurlston's YouTube plugin with playback via the Kodi YouTube Add On
Finally I show you either can either power off or go to Kodi if you prefer, basically at anytime
