Okay I installed Windows 10 knowing I'd lose Media Centre but knowing I could run other apps and I chose NextPVR .....
It installed and configured fine but I don't get any video feed showing (audio) is fine. I'm assuming the issue is with the Video Renderer (EVR and all options tried), but could it be that it needs MPEG2 video (as that is showing as disabled).
Got NEWA to work but had to turn off win 7 home network firewall...I want to keep the firewall on. What do I have to do so that NEWA will work through my win 7 firewall?
All,
I have searched and searched for an answer to this and have scanned my channels every way imaginable . I have a regular ( no cable Box) cable from TWC . I have the cable coming into the house and connected to a splitter. This feeds my cable modem and then to a 2 year old magnavox TV and my Hauppauge 1196 WinTV-HVR-1250 PCI-E x1 TV Tuner 1196. The televsion has several more channels than the Haupage tuner, whether it is running windows media Center on windows 7 pro or NVPR 3.29 on same O.S. it completely skips ( not listed even as encrypted) the channels I am interested like 34 - 65. food, hist, halmrk etc. The Tv gets these channels without a box. PCI Tuner does not. The cables are new. my internet connection is as fast as ever. Why wont the Haupage on NPVR or MC even look at those channels? I even went as far to select all the channels that were encrypted and tried them out one by one (184) to end up back at 41.

If anyone can shed some light on this I would be appreciative.
I have comskip running in postprocessing.bat. Sometimes it runs, and sometimes I get this in the log:
Thu 10/02/2014,21:00:01.68 - PostProcessing.bat invoked on "E:\Videos\TV Shows\Greys Anatomy\Greys Anatomy_20141002_20002100.ts" recorded from channel 201
--- sleeping 20 seconds to avoid simultaneous execution
Thu 10/02/2014,21:00:21.52 - invoking comskip on "E:\Videos\TV Shows\Greys Anatomy\Greys Anatomy_20141002_20002100.ts"
Thu 10/02/2014,21:00:21.52 - comskip finished with "E:\Videos\TV Shows\Greys Anatomy\Greys Anatomy_20141002_20002100.ts"
Obviously it's not running since zero time has passed. Does anyone have any idea how this would be possible? Here's a copy of my postprocessing.bat:
Code:
set newfile=
@echo on
cd "C:\comskip"
comskip "%newfile%" >>comskip.log
echo %date%,%time% - PostProcessing.bat invoked on %1 recorded from channel %2 >>processing.log
set /a num1=%2% / 10
rem need to add a pause to avoid race conditions
echo --- sleeping %num1% seconds to avoid simultaneous execution >>processing.log
timeout /t %num1%
rem check how many comskips are running; if 2 or more are running wait 1 minute and check again
rem the third parameter passed in npvr 1.5.36 and later is a unique recording oid number, so it makes a good filename to store the temporary count
:check
tasklist | find /c "comskip" > %3.txt
set /p count= <%3.txt
if %count% geq 2 (
echo ...%count% comskips running now, waiting 1 minute >>processing.log
timeout 60
goto check
)
del %3.txt
echo %date%,%time% - invoking comskip on %1 >>processing.log
comskip.exe %1% >>comskip.log
echo %date%,%time% - comskip finished with %1 >>processing.log
A series recording as blackish isn't being renamed, thetvdb lists it as Black-ish http://thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=281511&lid=7 Filebot -thetvdb finds and renames it correctly. I don't have a log since it wasn't one of the last 4 shows recorded, is there a way to increase this?
ImageGrabLite is failing to identify episodes of The Goldbergs. According to thetvdb, it looks like I need to search for 'The Goldbergs (2013)'. Could you please explain how to do custom name mapping for this? Also, Letterman seems to be using 'daily renaming rules'? Would there be any way to match by date instead?

I searched for this problem and didn't find anything that seemed to match my problem...
I'm using XBMC 13.2 with NPVR 3.2.9.
TV Tuner: AVerMedia AVerTVHD Duet PCTV tuner (A188) A188-AF PCI-Express x1 Interface
GFX: RADEON 7700
CPU: AMD X4
Also, I run the audio/video via HDMI through a surround sound receiver before passing to the TV in case that's relevant.
When I'm watching through XBMC, all of the HD (1080) channels are constantly buffering (they buffer from 0 up to about 15%, then play for about 5 seconds before buffering again). The buffering takes several seconds as well. I've left it on a channel for several minutes and the problem doesn't seem to resolve itself and occurs on every 1080 channel that comes in. I've never seen buffering on the SD channels beyond when I first select a channel.
This issue occurs only in XBMC - all channels work wonderfully in the standalone NPVR client. I'm basically using all defaults in NPVR and XBMC using LAV for all of my audio and video encoding (I'm not very well educated on codecs, but they seem to work fine in the NPVR client).
Thanks for reading - any help is greatly appreciated.
The problem is with Autosearch/Autorecord for a show that runs from 10:30pm to 11:35pm i.e. midnight or just before midnight (or even after midnight for that matter).
If I enter 10:30pm to 11:30pm as start range the show is not found due to the 11:35 end.
If I enter 10:30pm to 12:00am and click update as start range the show is found the first time I do this manually.
However when I reselect the saved search it does not (no longer) show the 12:00am end time and the show is also not found when I click submit.
I checked the web-saved-searches.xml and the show end time IS shown there i.e. it must have saved, NEWA screen doesn't show it and it doesn't seem to work.
Shows that go to 11:30pm (or before) seem to work, and the end time "sticks", but as I cannot seem to type in the time i.e. the selection is either 11:30pm or 12:00pm, shows that end time after 11:30pm and before 12:00midnight have no viable option.
As regards shows that end AFTER midnight i.e. the NEXT day, NEWA seems to have a similar problem, in that they are not recognised either.
I thought I could get around it by using JUST a start time and having end time open-ended, but NEWA doesn't seem to like that?
From the web-saved-searches.xml you will see I have now taken away all the times (now) and it records everything I want, but it ALSO means that old shows (that end after midnight) are recorded, which I have to delete straight away.
My request for autorecord is for show priority based on either saying show X always has priority ONE or maybe by channel (sports vs anything else...).
We are using WinTV7 to show educational videos and shows to small groups of employees for training purposes. We are using an Hitachi overhead projector. We would like to limit the amount of remotes in the training room.
Is there any way to configure the Hauppauge remote to power on and off the Hitachi overhead projector?
