what do I need to do to set up a pvr service? I currently have hdhomerun set with xbmc and it works wonderfully to choose my channels and get it through there, but I'd prefer to have a pvr and live tv setup in xbmc so I can pause, rewind, and record. The i downloaded nextpvr and tried to set it up and it sees both my tuners (just a single antenna getting over-the-air here in US) but when i click setup device and scan for channels nothing is found. I tried mediaportal then because i thought maybe it was nextpvr, but the exact same problem occurred. I can get see the tuners, but not grab any channels. I went into hdhomerun setup and changed the application to either platform and hit apply but that seemed to make absolutely 0 difference. No channels found, ever. XBMC still works great, playing all the channels flawlessly. am I missing a step or something?
I posted this on the HDHomeRun support forum and it was suggested I ask here so I'm posting here as well in hopes of getting some help. I already have EPG and strms set up that xbmc uses, but I need a PVR backend so I can start recording things that I'd like to watch later but don't need to keep in my xbmc library.
to extract the metadata from recordings prior to cutting out the adds, but it won't use the extracted xml to re-import into Recordings therefore I would like to find out how to reinsert the previously extracted metadata into the edited ts file so I can easily re-import into Recordings through settings by using the ts option
When exiting a show after playing I get a black screen for upwards of a minute or two before I get the recordings menu back again. Also changing from ready Recordings to recurring recordings, etc also takes upwards of a minute or two. I do have a database of 2.7TB of video that is growing daily. Is there anything I can do to speed up the app?
I have just installed NPVR for the first time and keep getting the error message "unable to find available capture device" for live TV.
I am starting from a clean Windows install to which I add (in order) Chrome, SAF6, Avermedia Hybrid Volar Max driver, WinTV/SoftPVR and then install NPVR. During the installation it opens a CLI window that says it has completed but the window stays open and eventual generates a stack overflow. If I close the windows the NPVR installation continues, apparently successfully.
I then setup up folders, devices and decoders, nothing noteworthy here. I then select the guide, and double click on an FM radio station, all works OK. I then select a digital TV channel and I get the "unable to find available capture device".
If I look through the logs (attached) I think the clue is in the ndigitalhost log where it says:
2015-01-11 18:15:06.765 [DEBUG][5] Failed to start device: 0x800705aa
So since updating to this version, individually scheduled recordings still work just fine - recurring recordings however appear to record once, bit never again.
I was looking through the log and noticed a lot of "Channel uses broadcast EPG connected to non-existant capture source:"
On the previous version I upgraded from a USB capture card to a shiny PCI one - seems to me like it might be related....
I'm not overly worried if I have to replace my database and start from scratch, somewhere along the line the search / recordings from NEWA stopped working, and when I replaced the card I messed around a bit to try to shift recordings from SD channels to HD channels. Just thought I would ask first in case somebody was able to say "easy problem - all you need to do is ....."

I've tracked down the line that causes the error, but is there any way to get more information about what might be going wrong? I know nothing about 'proper' debugging with C#, but this is fairly simple stuff (in terms of usage of the MediaInfo DLL), and happens when trying to use a newer version of the DLL with my existing code.
I just setup NPVR 3.3.8 on a new system with an Happauge HD PVR 1212.
Whenever I try to record shows, the files are empty. I also do not get live tv. if I use the Arcsoft utility that comes with the HD PVR I can see and hear the video fine.
I wish to restore recordings database using Vidinfo after a hard drive change..
I presume the file is recordings.xml under c:/users/public.npvr. If not how can I find it?
Using vidimport do I have to just enter the filename or the whole path?
Drop and drag defaults to Videos.xml so I have to use a script.
Can anybody help please.
Sample script would be great
It would be useful if one of the menu items in the NTray taskbar icon would be "Upcoming Recordings" that would open a window showing a list of upcoming recordings. A more detailed tooltip showing recording information would also be nice: maybe show next two current/upcoming recordings.
