I have an AverMedia H826 Hybrid Tuner. I found the instruction for setting up analog video. When I tried to run the SoftPVR bat file with the latest wintv7_cd_3.5.exe, it gave me an error.



So, I created a AnalogDevice.xml file and put into root of NPVR folder, but still no option under device settings. I am attaching the xml and the filtercheck results. Can someone please help me?

Thanks,
Tony

Hey, I deleted my 3 tuners with all my channels under the device tab in settings and can't get them back. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I have imported some recordings from WMC and other sources so that they will all be shown in the main recordings list. I have imported these files from network paths via a generated XML file. This is causing X-NEWA to error out with the message "Unable to contact NextPVR server". It only gives this error when trying to display recordings for a specific title: i.e. no problems with the top recordings list with the counts or anything else.

Note that there are no problems displaying or playing these recordings in the X-NEWA "Web Client". The only problem I have there is that I can't seem to resume any of these recordings (I select Resume and nothing happens but Play works fine). Any ideas on either of these problems? Thanks.

Is there any way to import to npvr database info from the optionally generated filename.xml ???

I am currently recording dvb-t(2) and dvb-s(2) files on a big PC. I then use videoredo to QSF from .ts to .mpg to improve skipping with the Samsung apps. I am outputting these to an always on small PC to view them from. I am manually running vidimport to create an xml file that picks up the metadata from filename.xml but the date/time is an hour out and it need manually editing to get rid or duplicates.

It would be nice to be able to directly import from filename.xml

I'm finding NPVR's choice of functionality very odd. Can someone please confirm.

1/ Timeshifting is always on and there is no way to disable it
2/ There is no record button. The only way to record is through the EPG (which by default has no data)

Hi folks - I've been away from using tv on my htpc because I was subscribing to AEREO...now that the SCOTUS killed that I'm trying to setup tv recording on the HTPC and I'm at a Twilight Zone moment.

My cheapo TCL 40" HDTV picks up 70+ QAM channels. I am not using a cable box. When plugged into the same cable, alone or on a quality splitter the TV still gets the same signals but neither my HVR-1250 (PCI-e) or Pinnacle PCTV 800e (USB) tuners pick up any. Both pick up the few ATSC channels available to me here in the Joisey Alps.

Running Windows 7 (neither tuner works in Linux (openelec) I've switched drivers and PC's ( laptop and desktop). Tried using Npvr, and Pinnacles own software PCTV suite.

Any clues would be greatly appreciated...in the meantime I'll continue my searching.


TIA,

Hey guys. This is probably something very simple that I'm overlooking, but files in my tv buffer directory seem to never get deleted. I just cleared out 500 gigs worth of files. How do I ensure these are deleted after I stop watching a channel?

I've encountered the same issue twice in one month: for some reason the id numbers are changing that are used to map XMLTV guide data. This causes an empty guide and failed recordings.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to capture a before and after of the XMLTV guide data but I have before and after screenshots (see attached images starting with XMLTV channel #28).

Do you have any ideas why this would occur? Is it something the EPG provider controls? (I'm using mc2xml with the microsoft guide).

Thanks!

I've been busy moving, and hauling tons of stuff to the local thrift store donation center. On Saturday afternoon after dropping off a pile of stuff I decided to go into the store and see what all they had. I was mostly looking to see if they had any interesting furniture I could use. Honestly most of it seemed overpriced for the condition it was in, like stuff I might take if it was $20 or so, but not $179 or whatever. In the back corner beyond the furniture they had some TV's, and I noticed a couple of guys looking at a big flat-screen TV that was just showing static on a dead analog channel. The one was saying "look how cheap this is!", but then he looked behind it saw it wasn't a thin LCD panel and he said "oh, nevermind, it's one of those old thick TV's, it's not worth buying.". I very much needed a TV for my new place, so I wandered over and had a look. Sure enough, it was indeed a used projection TV, but not much more than 12" deep, and it looked practically brand new. The remote seemed like it was never used. Labels on the front said things like "HDTV 1080p" and "DLP". Ah hah! I thought, this is no "old thick TV", it's something very good. I played with the menus for a bit, just to see that it all appeared to be working and that the display was in good order, and then I bought it. When I got someone to help me move it out to my car I was quite surprised at how light it was. When I got it home and hooked it up to my NPVR box using an HDMI cable, I was blown away by the picture quality. It even sounds pretty good too, though I'll probably still hook up a surround sound amp, speakers, and sub.

So which TV is it?

Samsung HL-S5087W: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-HL-S5087W-...B000F2R5HO

How much did I pay? $62.30 (sticker was $89, but they were having a 30% off sale that day)

Anyway to disable the lower-half display from appearing from mouse-over? Via configuration in xml file or anything?

Thanks in advance.
