Just wondering I anyone has used the Pulse Eight CEC USB Adapter?

I use a Hauppauge 45 button remote at the moment and understand that I'll have a dramatic reduction in functionality using CEC, but was thinking of using both (mostly so if I already have the TV remote in hand that I can control basic functions without looking for the Hauppauge remote).

Anyone know if the Pulse Eight is any good, behaves itself with NextPVR, or if there is a better product?

Thanks

I noticed that starting the tv-guide (timeline) in xbmc takes more than 5 seconds to start.
I don't know if this is normal and if not, I don't know what causes this.

On my androidbox (s89-h) it took 5,464s (08:52:33 T:1763584176 DEBUG: void EPG::CGUIEPGGridContainer::UpdateItems() completed successfully in 5464 ms) on LAN (not wifi).
My npvr.db3 is 10.259 kB (download here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/o8hiepmmz29hg08/npvr.db3?dl=0)
Client running Kodi 13.2.
Logs attached.

(on my samsung tablet it took 6,861s on wifi, kodi 13.1).

EDIT1: I started sqlite and opened the db3. Forgot to back it up first and did a "vaccuum" and after that the db3 is only 3825kB. Will have to check to see if it loads quicker now. Will report back later.
EDIT2: Well, actually it now takes even longer, about 10s.

Hello! Suggestions please!

I current have my TV devices coming into a desktop in my office. It works no problem. I also use the machine for doing work besides nPVR recording.

To remove unsightly wires from the side of my house though, I'm thinking of relocating the tuners to the garage which is far nearer the satellite / aerial... and here no wires will be seen. Obviously I won't then be working in the garage, so I'd need to keep the desktop in the office to do work and purchase something new to run the npvr box / tuners. There's my question... what should I buy to run 4-6 tuners and npvr so that it works properly???

Currently the office machine is a quad core i7 960 with 4MB RAM. I've obviously never had a problem using nPVR with that... but I don't want to buy something for the garage that's well over speced.... need it to do an excellent job, but not have redundant hardware bought!

Thanks for any ideas.

I am recording Forever. NextPVR not using/finding Forever (2104). Seems to be using Forever from 1996 which has no fanart. I had the same problem with Reckless.

How do I fix this?

Thanks

Seem to get this message up if I try and access via NEWA. It seems to bugger up the recording service also.

Logs and capture of err or attached.

I have NextPVR running as a server on one PC and a second PC that runs as a client.

When I start NextPVR on the client PC its takes about 30 seconds to load.

Looking at the log there seems to be a big gaps between two of the entries (see below)
2014-09-30 20:53:36.896 [DEBUG][1] Load@7
2014-09-30 20:53:57.910 [DEBUG][1] Setting override for <ExtraRecordingDirectories> to:
2014-09-30 20:53:57.910 [DEBUG][1] Load@8

I've tried changing a few things but can't seem to fix this.

I tried adding an extra recording directory on the client but that seems to get dropped as soon as I exit.

Anybody got any ideas?

There's an issue renaming this show tonight, it's also an issue with ncis new orleans. Any suggestions?

I was canceling a show yesterday and when I went to pick it up it had vanished :confused:

Could there be a race when the recording stopped by itself @2014-09-28 20:01:00.275 (it was programmed with 1 min pre and post padding) before the cancel was performed @2014-09-28 20:01:05.156 and the server NRecord deleted the file instead?
Note that client clock is about 6 sec ahead of server clock

I tried to fetch the server NRecord.logs but they already rolled over

Here is the ndigitalhost-26.log on the server and NPVR.log.1 on the client

I've bought myself a new toy: a gigabyte brix 2807. I've installed Windows 8.1 and nextpvr to use as a client. Everything works fine, but when I play a recording (HD) it takes 14 seconds until it starts. When I play the same recording with Windows Media Player it starts in 3 seconds. I've also installed xbmc and that starts it from xnewa within a second (wow). I haven't checked it for a SD recording, since I haven't installed a mpeg2 decoder yet. Logs attached, what can I do about this little problem?
