Just wondering whether anyone can shed any light on the way the scheduled recordings works in this situation...
I've 2x DVB tuners and 1x satellite tuner picking up freesat in the UK.
If I schedule BBC1 to record at 20:00 - no problem.
If I schedule ITV1 to record at 20:00 - no problem.
They are on separate multiplexes, so using both DVB tuners.... if I then choose to record BBC1 HD for example, which is on yet another multiplex, I obviously get a message saying that this isn't possible... However, I do have BBC1 HD on the Satellite tuner available... is there a way to make nPVR pick up that one - perhaps with a dialogue box to say - 'erm, do you want to use this one instead?!' - rather than just say - not possible and me manually select that channel from further down the program guide?
I have a generic mce remote control ( auvisio ). I am not fully happy with the keymapping. Is there a way to configure this ? (for example one button to stop the current task (default 'stop' button) and return to the main menu ( default 'clear' button ), or configure the 'play' button to start a video or recorded program (default 'OK' button)
I'm guessing most of us have multiple tuners. Is there a technical reason why no PVR backends uses the "next" available tuner to pretune the "next" channel in the frontends list to have near-instant channel changes?
I have a large household and record quite a bit and I have a need to be able to change the recording priority from time to time. I normally have enough tuners to record everything but sometimes I want to be able to watch a show as soon as it comes on.
I've looked at the recurring_recording table and I've got a pretty good concept of what needs to be done. I would need to reorder everything below a recording that I moved up and visa versa on a recording that I moved down. Then I would need to update the recurrence_oid for everything in the scheduled_recording table. Since the OID and priority fields are the same I would keep them the same, however, I don't see an underlying reason to do so as long as the recurrence_oid matched the oid. Have I missed anything?
I probably would not be good at writing a plug in but more as a stand-alone utility managing the database tables.
On a few of my shows I have received the following error at the bottom of my IGL log.

They both seem similar, I was hoping you could check it out.
I try to use NextPVR on my Rec100 ( digital devices ). I first installed a full windows 7 and NextPVR, tuners where found without any additonal setting or action.
Because windows 7 was consuming most of my system partition I installed windows ThinPC. ( ThinPC is a stripped version of windows 7, in fact it is an embedded version mostly used in virtual envoirements)
I could install NextPVR, .NET 4.0, DirectX without any problem. NextPVR does start but does not show my tuner cards. In the log I see the tuner cards are discovered, however they are not visible in the devices tab.
I have trouble playing files with German Umlauts (ä, ö, ü) again on the NMT. NMT connection crashes and I am back to main menu. I am not sure though, if my problem is related. Files don't play from the video library either. Renaming files cures the problem, however, I can't go through recordings anymore, because the filename does not match anymore - of course.
I had this same problem some time ago, but it had been fixed by adding this to config.xml: <MVPUseShortFilenamesOnNMT>true</MVPUseShortFilenamesOnNMT> . However, that doesn't seem to work anymore.
Logs don't show much, except for the MVP server restarting.
Hi!
Dead quick one...
Just wondering whether it is possible to check the status of the tuners from a client... i.e. see which ones are tied up doing what...
Is it then possible to kill / reset a tuner if it happens to have got stuck???
I just installed NPVR and my DVB-T card on my server (Windows 8.1) in back-end in order to have live TV on my HTPC with XBMC 13.1 (Windows 7).
Initially everything was on my HTPC (XBMC, NPVR and DVB-T card) and everything worked fine.
Since my change, I have one little problem on channel logos.
The logos are correctly assigned to each channel in NPVR.
In XBMC, logos appear but are not allocated to the right channels.
I tried on another XBMC (on my laptop) and the problem is the same.
On the laptop, so I tried to reset the database of the video recorder in XBMC setup, to no avail. I deleted the images in the folder \User\xxx\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\addon_data\pvr.nextpvr\ and it worked.
On my HTPC, doing the same manipulation, logos remain assigned to the wrong channels. I tried to delete file \User\xxx\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\Database\TV22.db but no change...
