When scheduling a recording I would like the ability to choose if and how the recordings will be postprocessed.
I have had this long time problem where recordings following directly after local news won't play on the NMT or Smart TV.
Inspired by BrainStormers success following mvallevands suggestion of remuxing using ffmpeg I gave it a try, and SUCCESS
Now the problem is I don't want to remux all recordings on these channels just the bad ones.
I need a parameter I can set on the scheduling that will either decide which PostProcessing.bat to run or send in as parameter in the command to the existing PostProcesssing.bat.
The parameter may be a configurable list to choose from or anonymous like using the colored dots.
Suggestion - A blue dot would trigger PostProcessingBlue.bat.
Such feature would also be beneficial to people wanting to automaticly transcode certain TV-series for watching on a mobile device etc.
I noticed today that my SiliconDust HDHR locked up and was not responsive. I had to physically reset the device (via power cord) to get it working again.
While it was in this unresponsive state, NPVR behavior was that I'd get a black screen with no notice that there was a problem. See logs below, there is an obvious message "Error: unable to connect to device", however there doesn't seem to be a catch for this error in the code...
I would have suspected, NPVR would have iterated thru my tuner list until it either found a responsive tuner or exhausted the list (and returned an error message to the UI). I have a 2250 that could have served up the channel...
Thoughts?

New to NPVR as I had been using TVHE on Pi, though I've switched to a Windows environment. Great program and very simple to install/configure, however I'm missing some channels (Motors TV for one) that I've watched previously on the Pi setup. My Tx is Blackhill and I have a list of MUXes - can I add the ones missing from the automatic scan manually, and if so how please? Or can I add a channel singularly? I've looked through the menu/setting options extensively but can't see this option.
I hope I'm in the right place... my question has to do with the Auto-Search function in NEWA. I recently switched from usb tuners and a basic HDHR to a HDHRPrime for digital through a cablecard. So, with the change over I lost a lot of my seasonal reoccurring recordings as the channels all changed. I was hoping the Auto-Search would run each day and when the show appears I'd get some sort of notice so I can schedule it. I know there's a auto-record function, but I'd rather have a bit of control over what actually gets scheduled.
I really don't think I understand exactly how it's supposed to work though. I "think" it's supposed to automatically run the saved searches each day a hour after the EPG update and I think I have it working. But how or were do I get the results? I would think there would be a RSS feed, web page or something to see what showed up if anything, but maybe I'm wrong???
Can someone educate me please? I searched, but everything I found was really old and didn't really apply to the new versions.
I'm using Win7, xbmc and kworld hybrid usb tuner with next pvr. i am very new at this, i have managed to get a good video signal but have 0 audio with any channel. Also in xbmc i get message "tuner not available" (but i can deal with that later). right now i'm just trying to get some audio within nextpvr itself. any thoughts? where should i look for the problem? i seem to have these decoders available:
video : microsoft dvt-dvd video decoder, ati mpeg video decoder
audio: microsoft dvt-dvd audio decoder, mpeg audio decoder
here's a look at the decoder settings:

please let me know if you would need more info. i'd really appreciate any help you can offer, thanks.
Hi,
This evening I recorded the xfactor... after about 20 minutes the recording stopped... only the tuner was still apparently being used (as shown in ntray) - It meant that, although I have 2 other tuners, I couldn't switch to watch the show live for some reason.
I stopped the recording, the tuner freed up and I was away again...
Then the same thing happened again a while later??
I've zipped the logs in the hope that someone can identify something that I can't ...
If there's a sudden drop in signal for example, does that cause the recording to stop and the tuner to get stuck...? I woulnd't have thought so...
Here's a beta test version of iGL that has a basic import. I'm going through an annual ritual of a on month rental to record all the Homeland episodes to watch during the Holidays. Since I get them from OnDemand while I catch up, I don't have metadata. This import has a very specific logic to get the file from thetvdb It wants the input file to be Show S##E## so for my Homeland example,
I take the file from my HDPVR C:\Recordings\Homeland\2014_11_13_11_15_13.ts
Rename it to C:\Recordings\Homeland\Homeland.S04E04.ts
run imageGrabLite --import "C:\Recordings\Homeland\Homeland.S04E04.ts"
and it up with C:\Recordings\Homeland\Homeland.S04E04.Iron in the Fire.ts in my database
There is an optional parameter to pass a channel oid if you want the icon to be from a correct channel.
I'm shaking down a new HDHR Prime and had a problem where starting a recording on the 3rd tuner killed the recording service with 2 other recordings in progress. (One of the in-progress recordings was Nashville, so that was not good.) With the recording service stopped, there were several later failed recordings. When I recognized this and restarted the recording service, I could not delete the failed recordings or what NPVR thought was in in-progress recording. Each attempt to delete a recording killed the recording service with the no connection to 127.0.0.1:8968 error. After the in-progress recording finished (it did not actually record), I was able to start the recording service, and scheduled recordings worked as expected. This morning after things settled down, I was able to delete the failed recordings. Relevant logs and event viewer messages from initial event attached. The Ndigitalhost-24 log is from an OTA tuner that was not in use, AFAIK, at 2230. However, I thought the last message might be of interest.
The initial problem happened at 2230 on 12/10/14. My attempts to delete/correct the condition are at about 2130 on 12/11/14.
In the interest of full disclosure, the 3rd Prime tuner that caused the problem had a channel list copied (export/import) from the Network Recorder install, rather than retrieved from the Prime's own scan. The virtual channel numbers are the same and the channel to be recorded at 2230 was on the 3rd tuner channel list, but there could no doubt be other differences. This may have been the first time the 3rd tuner was called. I have now corrected this, and all 3 Prime tuners have the same channel list. Also, I plan to remove Network Recorder this weekend.
It is me or has there been no new movie trailers showing up for the plugin? I have tried deleting every and starting from a fresh install. I think that last one for me was the new Minions movie.
Therefore, I wanted to find another software and Next PVR was highly recommended. However, when I am in my Devices page, I could not detect my capture card.
