Long time user of NextPVR but just starting using IGL.
Having a problem with the TV series: Reckless. Using a PostProcessing.bat file to rename the .TS file. Reckless was not renamed. SearchLite/Series folder has an xml file for Reckless. Looked at file and it seems to be a show from 1997 not the 2014 show I recorded. Went to Tvdb.com and indeed there are 2 series for Reckless. The first is just Reckless(from 1997) and the second is Reckless(2014). What can I do to get IGL to use Reckless(2014)?
How does NPVR go about deciding which is the secondary display?
I have a normal monitor connected by VGA as my primary display, and I have a TV & projector connected via an HDMI matrix switcher set as the secondary display.
Ever since I set things up this way, NPVR keeps changing which display it starts up on - I will start the system, start up NPVR and it will open on the VGA monitor instead of the TV or projector. I go in to settings and change the status of 'Start on secondary display' from whatever it currently is, restart NPVR and it starts on the correct display. Then later, the same thing happens again. I change the tick-box in settings from whatever it was set at, and restart NPVR again. I must have changed that setting 50 times in the last month.
A few extra bits of information:
Previously I had the TV & projector connected via VGA, through a splitter and didn't have any problems.
This behaviour has persisted through a change of graphics card (ATI to Nvidia), so I don't think video drivers are to blame.
Windows does not seem to have any problem knowing which screen is which, as my taskbar is always staying on the VGA monitor where it should be. XBMC has also started on the TV or projector as it should every time.
In display settings, the VGA monitor is 'Display 2' (although set as the main display) and the other display 'display 1', but it seems that it's impossible to change this, and an HDMI display will always become 'display 1' when connected alongside a VGA monitor.
I'm using the latest version, on W7 64 bit.
Any ideas what might be going wrong, or any way to force NPVR to start on the right display?
This is the second time I have noticed this.
When New Channels start Transmitting I have scanned and added them, (DVB-EPG left as default) expecting them to populate during the overnight epg update.
On the last 2 occasions, after 2 nights they are still showing [No Program Details] Emptying and doing a manual scan finds them immediately and the overnight update is fine from then on.
This last occasion the manual scan was only 20 mins after the overnight update.
I have a Delock 61959 which is capable of receiving DVB-T and DVB-C.
I managed to get it working using MediaPortal, but somehow that crashed on my PC and I'm not
able to re-install it properly (at least not without a clean windows install).
There is a peculiar thing with this tuner: ALL software sees it as a DVB-T tuner, except the ARCSOFT Totalmedia software
that is upplied with it (but that software is not capable of finding the DVB-C channels!!!!)
Using MediaPortal, I had to manually search for the DVB-C channels (using the option "Enable Channel Movement Detection").
Is it possible to instruct NextPVR (using config files???) to scan only ONE channel for
DVB-C channels? e.g. at 304 Mhz, there are three TV channels present (QAM64, 6875 )
and save the found results.
Since upgrading to current version, I've been having the following issues:
Having to press "Enter" multiple times to select a folder.
Mismatch between icon/title & file played when selecting.
Exiting a video causes the "Resume / Restart" dialog to pop up after video stops. Pressing "escape" causes menu to pop back one level.
This one's not a bug - Live video works again (hasn't for some time)
Don't see anything in release patches that would cover this. Tried uninstall/re-install. Any recommendations? Go back one version perhaps?
I'm back, been floating but haven;t had a system for the past 3 months on account of moving. So in the mean time I've purchased a HDHomeRun to virtualise a netpvr machine. With local folders I had it working last night.
But I'd like to record (and send live tv cache) to a network location.
I remember all the usual tricks - set the NPVR service to a local user, that user is an admin, the destination share has that same user with full control.
I also tried setting the HDHomeRun service to the same user.
But any attempt to start a recording no file is created.
What have I missed? There's nothing in the event logs (auditing or otherwise) of either machine and the nextpvr logs just says in ndigitialhost that File size is 0 bytes (non existant). Channel is locked with signal.
NRecord complains about an invalid file passed at the network location - and gets a error saving the metadata, but doesn't give a hint why (doesn't exist, permissions etc).
Hi, there is something I have been seeing in the last week or so in NEWA. I have attached a couple images to illustrate. The first image, titled "good entry" is a screen shot of what a good NEWA entry looks like on my computer. Then the second image, titled "bad entry", is what I am writing to ask about. That one was the very first entry at the top of the screen. It looks like two entries superimposed. The error is persistent across web browser refreshes and even different PCs.
I use mc2xml to load SchedulesDirect guide info. I don't use any of the automatic update options. I only manually update it, through the mc2xml batch file that NPVR runs when I click on "Update DB." I only do that when there is nothing being recorded.
I am figuring the problem above might either be due to a corrupt NPVR database or corrupt Schedules Direct info. Maybe I should save the programs I have already scheduled, and then click the "Empty Db" button on NPVR before I click "Update Db?" I have never tried that before.
Also in a couple places, the TS and XML filenames for the recorded movie are correct, but the movie that got recorded was wrong. I don't know if that is related to the above issue or not.
I am trying to get web streaming to work. When I click play (on the local machine) I receive the error below. Of course it does not work remotely either. I can how view any channel live on both the local PC and a remote PC. Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks
