To name a few Remote Control features I would find convenient:

1. Stop recording of Live TV - can manually start a recording with remote, but not stop it (or at least I haven't found it yet)

2. Switch to last/previous channel watched

3. Previously Recorded TV Menu, can do it with KB but not remote.

4. Toggle Full Screen/ Windowed display mode - could use the Radio button or some other rarely used button for this.

5. Remote control remapping feature (this may already exist, but not sure).

I'm recording a lot of overlapping shows right now and I've just got my first confirmed "conflict" which shows up as "red" in NEWA. My question is are "conflicts" just for the show, for example 10:00 - 11:00 or does it also take into account the pre padding and post padding set for the recording say 9:58 to 10:02?

Multi-record wasn't a problem before with my old QAM/ATSC tuners but switching to a HDHR Prime it's become more of a issue as the prime can't multi-record on the same channel for overlapping recordings, at least not yet. It's not a huge problem and I can work around it if I know I'm going to have a issue with a particular recording.

So in short, does the conflict flag include the padding or just the basic time?

Thanks

Current means of editing huge numbers of channels which result from a scan of UK satellite and Terrestrial TV is very slow.

Scan results in 600 channels, many are duplicates, many are encrypted, some are radio. It is very tricky to get these sorted out and numbered etc so that resulting EPG is nicely organized.


Use of the exported XML file using grid view XML editors is better as this allows enough channel info to be seen in the data to work out what is what but since the data is hierarchical it is not as easy as it might be. Also grid view XML editors typically lack the power of spreadsheets for things like sorting data and renumbering by dragging boxes round cells etc.

Best solution would be generation of a CSV file with all channel data flattened (1 row per channel record)

Data could then be trivially attended to in excell or other spreadsheet and then re-imported back into NPVR.

This would turn channel editing from a slow difficult job into a quick easy job.


Given that the data exists in XML form already it might just need an XML to CSV processor.


Superb program by the way. I used it when it was GBPVR moons ago. Its even better now.

Hello!
I keep getting recordings fail part way through a recording.... could anyone tell me which logs I'd need to upload to have someone with more knowledge than me see if they can spot a reason??

THanks,
John

I've done some searching but haven't found this particular problem. In a few instances, 12 Monkeys is the latest, after I've gotten the metadata from TVDB I'll return to the listing and the series info has changed to movie info. It does this without any input from me. In the case of 12 Monkeys, after reselecting the TVDB info twice I tried the Movie DB selection and got artwork and description from the movie. When I tried to get the TVDB info again, it won't change.

I'm aware this is a very minor problem but I'm wondering if there is a simple solution.

I understand that several broadcasters having been doing trials of HEVC broadcasts on DVB-T2. If anyone could provide me a link to sample file with a couple of minutes for testing that would be great

Thanks,

Martin

I'd love to see an improvement in the mechanism for EPG's.

1. Either by drag'n'drop of the channels into order, or by exporting the xml mapping to CSV for manipulation in Excel and importing back in for setting orders/groups, etc.

2. Ability to press F2 to rename something in Bulk Map

3. Possibly interface with http://tv.sky.com/tv-guide for Sky UK Customers

That's it so far. Awesome program, only been running it for 2 days and I'm loving it.

Hello,

I'm having an issue with NextPVR. It loads EPG for most channels but it has problems with loading from one tv multiplex at 674 MHz in Poland.
Please take a look at the logs.

I've seen one thing that makes me wonder, is it ok?
2015-01-22 11:14:28.168 [DEBUG][7] No C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Scripts\UpdateEPG.bat file found

When I was installing NextPVR there was NRecord.exe INSTALL crash, but the rest of the setup went ok.

Please help me or tell me which are good free alternatives to NextPVR if the problem couldn't be solved.

Hi Sub

Have you had any thoughts of compiling NPVR as a 64 bit Program?

Sometime this year I will be reinstalling the HTPC W8.1 as 64 bit OS rather than 32 bit that it is at the moment. (before W10 free upgrade anyway) Obviously I can still install NPVR as a 32 bit program, but saw somewhere the other day that 32 bit was now considered "legacy" and in particular not really up to 4K, HEVA etc. video rendering.
I know I would have to find a decent 64 bit MPEG2 / H264 Codec that works with the MS demuxer that NPVR uses - At present I am using the PDVD13 Codec from Hoborg which gives by far the best results for TV - and LAV for everything else.
Also of course all the plugins would need updating.

So this is more a "thoughts on the matter" rather than a desperate request

Apologies for the broken front page. After a few hours of failed attempts to update our wordpress software (to resolve potential security issues), I've decided to flag it for now. It can wait a few days, and just leave a temporary place holder page
