I'm looking into changing my capture card. I've been checking prices on the Colossus because it has an html port that I can plug my HD Direct TV set top box. I'm wondering if any one else is using this card and what type of luck they are having with it.

I had a problem where at least 100 recorded TV shows disappeared form my drive. Nothing else on that drive seems to be affected. I ran a check disk and it said the disk drive was fine. It only left at the most 15 shows. I was working on something else that I would swear would not have done this. It is possible the disk became full. Has anybody else had this problem. I've just ordered another hard drive and will sync two drives then.

Have just installed latest NPVR 3.3.8 on windows XP PC with Happaugue WinTV 88x DVB-t tuner and recordings are .ts format. I would like to record in mpeg2 as I did with my gbpvr similar setup using cyberlink mux. I have installed the same cyberlink mux and registered it, but cant find where to specify the BDA MUX in the NPVR setup or config.xml. Could you advise me how to do this please?

Dear Support,
I had reformat my HTPC and decided to give nPVR a try. However, there is no sound when watching/recording any of the analog channels. But watching/recording with GB-PVR, no problem at all.
I've tried install the codec and select LAV, ffdshow but none of the is successful.

The sound is transfer via HDMI to the TV.

Attached here is the log file.

Looking for a way to delete recordings over a certain age. I suppose I could write a script to delete the recordings themselves, but, I suspect nextpvr may not like this?

I have it set up to record all networks shows every night ala Dish Hoppers Primetime Live feature. Now the problem is I do not watch every show on every network channel, so, I want them to go away in a week. I sure don't want to have to manually delete each of those.

Any tricks to accomplish this?

Something strange about my NextPVR setup and I'm not sure if it is an issue with my video card or NextPVR.

I can get logs, but I wanted to try asking to question first to see if anyone knew what might be the issue.

From the main menu of the program, where I can select Live TV, Guide, etc. the program is full screen. It takes up the entire screen.

When I watch either a recorded show or live tv, the program appears to have a border around the image. This border is around the entire image and the overlay information is contained inside this border as well. It's as if the video window is smaller or something... If I take the program out of full screen the border is still present inside the window.

When I exit the video the guide or rest of the program is full screen, as expected.

Thanks for any assistance.

Hi,
I am using a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1265 tuner card, the new version of the HVR-1250. It doesn't seem to work with NextPVR, and I've seen complaints about such issues in the reviews of the product. Are there plans to make NextPVR work with this card? Is there anything I could do (as a software developer but with little experience in this kind of application) to help?
Thanks,
John

.. and good luck with your specimen of 2015

I am in so much trouble. I got to one of those places where I thought it was time for a rescan of channels. Unfortunately I did not know that bulk map is completely broken on the latest version of NextPVR! Initially I thought I could just use the freesat and DVBT options but ended up with big holes in my EPG after one day (No show details) so under spouse pressure used bulk map to go back to XMLTV. Sadly this changed all the channels to XMLTV but the source file and channel did not get saved and now I am having to go one by one through every channel (nearly 300 of them) setting the file and channel manually :-(

Does anyone have any way i can work around this? At this point even some form of file hacking would be acceptable as editing each channel one by one is unbelievably slow...

Does X-NEWA support UNC paths in recordings?

I made two changes to my setup. 1) different IP address and 2) a UNC path to a network share for recordings as opposed to a local drive. Since then X-NEWA tells me that it is "Unable to load X-NEWA Data."

I'm able to connect to the new IP with the NPVR web interface and the NPVR Kodi plugin works fine.

Thanks for any hints. If it does support UNC, I'll grab some logs.
