I see under the recordings configuration there are 2 available options for matching titles:
- Match exact title
- Match Start of title.
Those of you from NZ will probably know the issue i'm having - in that Freeview (or TVNZ / Mediaworks) - have recently starting prefixing all the new season episodes with "All New" - and as such i would miss recording new season stuff unless i set another recurring link to the name "All New .... "
If i set the match start of title - then it would pick up every 'All New ... ' programme, of which there are a few at the moment.
If i set exact title - then i have to add another entry (which i have done if i remember).
Not really sure of how to get around this other than maybe a 3rd option of a *title* type wildcard? I don't know how achievable that would be.
Just curious to hear how everyone else handles this - if they do at all.
I have no delete option when viewing recordings from ready recording screen in the new npvr. I have a delete option in the new recording screen but many of my recordings are to old to appear there. My only choices in ready recordings are play and back.
Well this is my first post in ages, which speaks to how great this program is.
I'm considering switching from mc2xml to Schedules Direct but I'm not getting any indicator of a "NEW" episode in my guide which is throwing off my recording.
Do I make changes to the INI file and if so what?
or what do I do grab all info from the schedules direct file?
Is there a way to utilize 3 TV tuners each on a different computer easily?
I have several computers around the house. Can I put 1 tuner in each of them then watch live TV in XBMC and use different servers (1 has Clear QAM, 1 has OTA) without reconfiguring the add-on every time?
I was looking for a new tuner (at least a dual that is NOT Hauppauge or AverTV) and stumbled onto this new external tuner which sounds a lot like HdHomeRun but has 4 tuners. Does anyone have experience with the Tablo and know if it will work with NextPVR?
Side Note: I love my AverMedia 188 it tunes in all my OTA/ATSC channels without issue, but I can not have two of them on my system as it will drop one every time my computer goes to sleep and requires reboot and resetup. So I paired it with a Hauppauge 2250, but it has issues with some frequencies. It requires a signal booster for two of my OTA/ATSC channels to get any reception, but three other channels get corrupted when I have the booster connected. Can't really separate that out. So looking for other alternatives. I would prefer internal PCI but there does not seem to be any other alternatives so I am looking to try an external options, but really want good solid reliable performance with it. Any suggestions welcome.
I have a little issue here that I can't figure out.
I am using NEXTPVR and my OTA channels work correctly in there, but in XBMC it stopped letting me view channels in ptvl and the default watch tv section. I get a "Tuner not Available" error message.
I uninstalled NEXTPVR XBMC Plugin trying to fix a problem, but now I can't redownload it. I did a search under addons and found it, but it refuses to download....
Tonight I really stressed npvr's multi-record like I have the past few Tuesdays successfully with 3.2 using 3 ATSC tuners but had 2 issues tonight with 3.3. The recordings are:
CBS: 20:00-21:01 NCIS: New Orleans / 21:01-22:00 Person of Interest
ABC: 20:00-21:00 Marvel / 21:00-22:00 Forever
CW: 20:00-21:00 Supernatural
NBC 21:01 Chicago Fire
The most likely issue is NCIS: NO post padded 50s but POI didn't start recording until 52s in, missing a little over a second. POI should have been pre padded (a minute is set) and should have recorded the whole show.
The other issue, which may be logic, was Supernatural recorded 1m5s over and Chicago Fire started 7s late, although I don't know how much was missed. This hasn't been an issue before and the 21:01 start time may be different then usual. In these situations wouldn't it make sense to split the difference and post pad Supernatural 30s and prepad Chicago Fire 30s?
Thanks for the terrific program and the great support.
Ever since I received the email from Schedules Direct about the change in service, I have been monitoring this forum closely. It seemed remarkable how few issues came up with the release of version 3.3.8, so I did the upgrade today. Since nobody has reported my particular issue, I'm assuming that I'm doing something wrong with the upgrade.
I'm using the two-tuner HDHR3 with an outdoor antenna (ATSC). After the upgrade to 3.3.8, I had a number of different crashes, which I was able to get past - by first clearing-out the channels and restarting the computer, and then rescanning and restarting. That left all of the channels in Settings->Channels with an EPG value DVB/ATSC EPG. That seemed correct to me after having done a fresh scan.
But when I select a channel, click on "Details", and then select "Schedules Direct" for the EPG Source, I get this unhandled exception:
Code:
Value cannot be null.
Parameter name :s.
I suspect that there is some step I should be doing prior to this point, but I don't know what. The details of the exception follows:
