I'm sure this is a stupid question, but with GBPVR, during playback of a recording, I used to be able to hover over the bottom of the computer screen with the pointer and a timeline would pop up allowing me to select any point in the file for viewing. The timeline still pops up but seems to have no functionality with regard to changing the playback position.
Is this functionality no longer supported in NPVR?
I have a basic IPTV package from my cable company. With two tuner/dvr boxes. There is no RF cable. Instead they have an ethernet cat5e or whatever. It runs to a switch that goes to the back of the two tuner/dvr boxes. Is there a way to watch/record these channels on my htpc? The only tuners I see are for RF coaxial connections. Would be nice to get rid of the cable box and its noisy fan.
I boot OpenELEC into X-NEWA Web Client. Does changing the streaming mode in X-NEWA settings have any effect when using the Web Client? They all appear to work except VLC.
Can I ask that you add the info for using autoexec.py to autostart X-NEWA to the sticky at the top of the page. It took me ages yesterday to find the old post which contained the instructions.
Tonight Time Warner encrypted the last few local channels on my cable. All I have left is Disney.
A few months ago I had a pretty good selection of clearQAM channels, basically most all locals + WGN and Disney (somewhere around 22 good channels). Then sometime around early August most of the channels suddenly disappeared; they were moved & encrypted I guess, as the frequencies they'd been on now had no channels. I was down to 7 channels: CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, KTLA (the CW), WGN, & Disney, but it actually was fine, it covered 90% of what I wanted to watch and I was probably watching too much TV anyway. Then about two weeks ago WGN disappeared, but at least Manhattan had already wrapped for the season so it was a bummer but not immediately tragic. Then last week KTLA was encrypted, and it was on the same frequency as CBS so I knew the other shoe was about to drop. I spent some time fiddling with some indoor antennas I had (I've moved to an apartment and am not permitted to have an outdoor antenna), and I managed to get KTLA back. But the VHF channels including ABC & Fox weren't detected at all, while CBS & NBC are pretty choppy. Now tonight my recordings of Jeopardy and The Shark Tank on ABC are blank-screen, and a scan reveals that the only clearQAM channel I have left is Disney. My daughter loves "Dog with a Blog", and the new Star Wars Rebels animated series is not entirely terrible, but otherwise I have no use for Disney. Presumably that one will be encrypted soon too.
I'm debating what to do. I think my first try will be this: http://www.frys.com/product/8319787?site...IN_RSLT_PG. The idea of giving up on broadcast TV altogether does cross my mind, aside from NFL Football on Sundays I can probably get most of what I want to watch with streaming services. There are surely ways to watch football online too if I try. Of course that means I'd have no further use for NextPVR...
I am trying to get the new(ish) videos view to show for a TV series I'm playing with & nothing I do will get the sod to show, so I suspect I have some basic error(s) with the nfo files I'm creating.... they are attached in the zip if some kind soul who knows more than me would have a look see..... please
(& no google hasn't really been my friend on this one it just shoves me all over the place & make me spend hours trying things out)
I have also attached an image of the directory showing all the file that are in there
I just set up a client PC, using NPVR as the client software, and wondered why none of my recordings played. I have postprocessing set up to trancode into avi and rename/adjust the entry in npvr.db3.
On the server these recordings play just fine, but on the client I noticed that when I select such a file there is a short pause and
then NPVR returns to the screen where I selected to play the recording.
Live TV and not transcoded recordings (.ts) play just fine.
Is it expected that avi files do not play on clients through the recordings screen, but play on the server recordings screen?
I was testing a rename of a show it appears even though it says it renames it ... it actually deletes the entry from the NPVR DB. It does not rename the DB entry.

A watched Status is really needed in the XBMC PVR and X-NEWA. There is no way right now to tell what you have watched and not watched or how much of a show you have watched.
