This is the output of the NMT Checker:

I have searched on this forum and on google with many different keywords trying to find a solution with no luck. I'm hoping it is possible and i just overlooked it. What i am trying to do is launch comskip with different ini and or logo files per channel. I found the .bat that can run comskip with different ini or logo files based on channel ID passed onto postproccessing.bat as %2. But %2 only holds the major channel number not the minor(subchannel) number. I have not found a way to differentiate between two channels such as 48.1 and 48.2. This looks like it would work great for analog and possibly cable because they don't use subchannel numbers. Has anyone done this or does anyone know how this can be done?

Thanks

I looked at my recordings and everything was missing that is located on my NAS machine. I am assuming they disappeared when I had the box off for some routine maintenance. So I tried restoring from a recent backup that I had made but nothing would import. I got a No Recordings Imported dialog. I scanned the logs and if I had to hazard a guess, I would say that it stopped the import process once it hit a recording that had since been deleted.

Two questions, how do I get three months worth of recordings imported back in and is there a way to stop Next PVR from deleting recordings that are missing automatically. I like that it does it but maybe a prompt confirming it first.

Thanks!

I have been working on getting digital over the air captions. Tried different video decoders. Ffdshow, Lav, and Microsoft decoders. No captions. Arcsoft decoder, no picture. AMD, video would not always start. I am using Main Concept decoder now. Sometimes the captions are fine and sometimes they are scrambled. Recordings about half the time are scrambled. Just checked live TV and 9 of 10 are good. The scrambled show was fine on another TV. I tried different tuners, no difference.
Has anybody had better luck.

I have multiple DVB-S (Freesat) & DVB-T (Freeview) tuners in my setup.
I have setup a recurring recording for the same program that is on different tuners.
Both recurring recordings are set exactly the same, All Episodes & All Recordings.
In my settings I have unticked 'Avoid duplicates whenever possible' & have
checked config.xml (<AllowDuplicates>true</AllowDuplicates>)
The TVGuide only shows one pending recording in red & the record menu
only shows one recording pending.
From the logs it looks like it is avoiding duplicates.
The recurring recording is 'Have I Got a Bit More News For You' on BBC One
See lines 153 & 417 in NPVR.log

Some weeks ago adding a new program to the nPVR schedule failed to get the program listed in scheduled recordings. This happened repeatedly with the program, The Good Wife and the program following on the same channel, CSI. I thought it odd as those were scheduled to air at 9:30p-10:30p and 10:30p-11:30p. Then I found that The Good Wife was pushed back a half hour due to a sports event overtime. Charter Communications didn't bother to air CSI. That was 2 Sundays ago. Yesterday, again The Good Wife was aired a half hour late and CSI was not aired. I had found out what I thought was the reason that scheduling wouldn't show the programs ready to record ahead of time. I went to The Good Wife and changed the parameters to one time program and it's date/time changed to red indicating it would be recorded. Also I added 31 minutes post-program padding. I was pretty sure the problem had to do with Charter not indicating that the program was New. Then just now I went to add The Newsroom and I'm getting the same failure. It's a first run Season 3 Episode 1 and it wouldn't schedule as only record new episodes on the channel. Since they're going to air what looks like all season 2 before the first episode of season it means that I'll have to schedule each episode I want separately.

I have NextPVR 3.2.9.

So, does this seem like Charter not providing the correct information? My Tivo gets the same wrong recording time as Schedules Direct but does record the timeslot as only New episodes while nPVR fails.

That would only happen if Tivo is getting different information than Schedules Direct.

Charter offers two digital lineups in this area and both are identical for the described programs.

I have several manual recordings set for M-F. Sometimes NPVR stops recording and when I l look at pending recordings there are none showing even though I have a schedule defined. As a workaround, in the past, I would open npvr, select a recording, hit update and then hit save without changing anything, this would solve the problem. Now when I try to update any existing manual recording, the title changes for 4-6 M-F (for example) to None and it drops off the Pending list. Maybe this is a bug in the new version I recently downloaded? It is very annoying if the update is broken, because setting up another manual recording is a pain, because there is no easy way to get to the channel I want to record, I have to scroll through the channels with the arrow key which takes a long time. Please help.

Basically im looking for a solution for playback on media players other than a pc

I have tried many different players now and skipping ts files seems to trip most of them up in different ways.I am not a fan of having to transcode but I see no other option.

What I need to achieve is
Needs to be quick
file size doesnt worry me (don't like compression square black boxes annoy me)
Time line needs to be correct (raspberry pi shows all sorts of sizes means skipping is bad after half way samsung tv/bluray similar)
File name needs to be the same so comskip will work(dont want auto cut as its not always perfect)

So what do others use and what are your results?

Hi - I get this popup Unhandled exception message with a "Continue" button when I click on TV Listings in the main menu of NextPVR.

When I click TV Recordings, the background of the menu just blinks and nothing happens.

Whenever I use Picture-in-Picture I find myself thinking that the large inset size isn't quite large enough, and the small size is so tiny as to be useless. I imagine others have different opinions. I assume you have some sort of scaling factors hard-coded to define the two sizes of PiP screens... perhaps you could expose those in config.xml so the users could tweak the sizes?

Similarly, I like having the PiP window in the lower-right, at least for NFL Football, but it defaults to the upper-right and doesn't remember that I moved it once I exit NextPVR.exe (I have no mouse connected so the only way to move it is to remote in to the system with VNC, which requires getting up from the couch!). Could you add a setting such as <PiPDefaultPosition>UR/LR/UL/LL</PiPDefaultPosition>?

Both of these would be requests for 3.4, not something I'd expect to be implemented in a 3.3.8 patch.
