Hi,
using NPVR 3.2.9, no specific hotfixes. I am using an Anysee DVB-C tuner connected to the UPC network in the Netherlands. I (have to) get my tranponderlist from the internet as UPC does not allow scanning for some reason. I always use some up-to-date lists for Anysee CNO tool, which I convert with a script I wrote to NVPR format. This worked fine until now. The list contains 38 transponders. When scanning, on one of them I get a NPVR application error on several modules, sometimes MSVCR110.dll, sometimes ntdll.dll and I've seen kernel32.dll as well.

Now when I create a new ini file and leave that specific transponder out everyting is ok. If I then make yet another file with only that one transponder in, it scans fine as well. What could be up?

I've attached the NPVR log and the WER log for one of the crashes. I also attached the full ini file although it's not of much use I think, number 18 is the one that crashes NPVR.EXE on my system / network / cable. If you want additional log files just ask. Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I've recently installed NextPVR 3.2.9 on a Lenovo Thinkcentre running Windows 8.1 (up to date) 64 Bit.

I've installed the full DirectX Runtime and NextPVR current patches.

I'm using a Kaisser Baas USB dual TV stick (which is working fine on another PC running windows media center on windows 7).

When I attempt to scan for channels from the Settings/Devices/Device Setup menu windows crashes with a BSOD - attached are the log files.

If anybody has any ideas I'd appreciate it!

Is there a way to get the picture url/path sent/pushed to XBMC's EPG database?

As I understand NextPVR's add-on is "feeding" XBMC's EPG database with some info but not the URL/path of the pictures it downloads. Or could I use a XMLTV file directly in XBMC? I think Tvheadend has this future.

Thanks

NextPVR worked fine.
I'm using an ISCSI disk for backup, using the microsoft ISCSI initiator, the disk does not have a drive letter
No other application or service is supposed to use the backup disk

Whenever the server that provides the ISCSI target is down and the ISCSI inititator on the NextPVR machine is trying to reconnect, strange things happen

After starting NextPVR it is possible to play music or films.
But when going to recordings or the guide screen NextPVR locks up and never becomes responsive again.

Logs are attatched. Seems the database is accessable, no error messages

Now I have completely stopped the ISCSI initiator, after removing all ISCSI references and still NextPVR locks up when trying to access the guide or the recordings panel.

Anyone with a suggestion on what to try next????

Hi, I would really appreciate some advice with the error message I am getting "Unable to communicate with recording service.

I am desperatley trying to move away from MCE and NextPVR looks great and in fact once I get it working I intend using it as the backend for XBMC. However I came unstuck today and after three hours of testing / trying and reading I am still having no luck.

The EPG downloads fine, I scanned and can see all my channels. I know my tv card works as MCE can see and play the channels.

So based on this and all the reading I have done I am assuming it must be a decoder issue.

I have tried all the various decoder options and still no luck.

I have also tried the following - and had no luck:

- Ran NextPVR as administrator
- Checked and allowed NextpVR program through my firewall
- I temperorily disabled my virus pgm and firewall and tested it - no luck


Can anyone help me fault find please as I am very keen to get the PVR working

Thanks in advance

Kind regards

Gary

hello!
just wondering whether changing channel names or the number of a channel will affect recordings already scheduled, or when you rename / number them, does some check take place to update that new info in the scheduled recordings database?
Thanks,
John

Hi,

I am building a new HTPC and was wondering if a new modern 5400 rpm hdd is fast enough or if I need hdds with 7200rpm?

The disk I am looking at is?

It need to handle multiple recordings also in HD. The provider I am using is DVB-S Canal Digital in Sweden.

Hi,

Is there a single-button available to record/stop current recording?

Currently Ctrl-K would prompt a manual recording menu. But I want it to start recording immediately--until I hit say the stop button again.

Thx.

While setting up some recordings, I noticed if channel has a show that ends at 9:05 and the next show on the same channel starts at 9:05, what happens is, it starts recording as expected on tuner 1, and when shows ends, instead of using tuner 1 again, it starts the next recording at 9:05 on a different tuner.
I believe this is because of the padding at the end (which I have set to 3 mins).

Now, if I wanted to record another channel, it wouldn't allow it at the start time (9:00), since it would conflict, since the other tuners are in use.
Fine.
However, I don't really care that the show will be recorded 5 mins into it, hence the request of adding a 'queue' option that means, start recording whenever a tuner is free.

The other option would be to set padding for each recording separately, which would also solve the issue, since, at 9:05, it would free tuner, and start using the same tuner again at that time, or have it automatically set padding to 0 for cases when you are doing sequential recordings on the same channel.
This would allow to have the program at 9-10 be recorded, and have the one that starts at 9:05 be recorded as well.

Hope that makes sense ?

I've regularly imported mpg files into NPVR before but for some reason it's stopped working. I have an xml file in the standard recordings.xml format and when I run the import from the settings utility it says it has imported the right number of recordings..... only problem is.... none are then present in the database.

I've double checked the files are present and the names in the xml file are correct.

I can't find anywhere in the logs which shows what's going on in the import process.

How can I find out what is failing?
