I use a bit of powershell for work, so when it came to configuring postprocessing stuff for a freshly installed OS and new configuration of NPVR, I opted to rewrite in Powershell.
Not so much looking for support (I have everything in my configuration working (knock on wood) that I can tell) - but I figured I'd post up what I wrote just in case anyone else is interested. As usual, use at your own risk. Oh, and I wrote and tested all of this on Powershell 4 in Windows 7.
Here's what my main postprocessing.bat file looks like:
Code:
REM use the below line for logging output
REM powershell -NonInteractive -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -NoLogo -NoProfile -f "C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Scripts\StreamFix.ps1" %1 >> C:\logs\postprocessing.log
REM Use this one for no log
powershell -NonInteractive -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -NoLogo -NoProfile -f "C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Scripts\StreamFix.ps1" %1
SET _oldfile=%1
SET _newfile=%_oldfile:.ts=.mpg%
REM Comskip
powershell -NonInteractive -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -NoLogo -NoProfile -f "C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Scripts\Comskip.ps1" %_newfile% %2
StreamFix.ps1: This one runs the .ts files generated by my HDHR through VideoRedo to fix junky timelines and kicks out a .mpg file.
Hi there, at first I think Nextpvr is the best media center i ve tested since now.
i like its simplicity.
But because of that I miss some things.
At first I need something to shutdown the pc when a recording is done.
I like to see animations(animated video) when I listen to music, (like in XBMC).
When I start livetv I dures a while , can I accelerate it somehow?
Is there a german lanuage pack?
I have not much time in the moment to search about, thats why I ask.
Could NEWA saved searches be restricted to once per unique ID like NextPVR rules do. In this example, the same show Meredith Viera gets recorded many times, and I have to wait to actual day to delete them.
I'm posting in General Discussion as I'm open to any suggestions which may or may not include NextPVR - I'll explain.
I'm looking into providing a media centre / entertainment system for a family friend who is severely disabled. He's 27 and has cerebral palsy (quadriplegic) and lives in a care home with his own room with TV and DVD player and spends much of his life watching TV or DVDs (mostly the latter). Obviously because of his lack of mobility he has to rely on care workers to switch is TV on, load DVD etc etc
So...cut to the chase...
Funding is available but limited. I've been asked to look into something for a budget Android tablet as a control unit (using wifi) but after that we need the media source and some sort of extender attached to the TV.
The initial idea is to start with ripping his DVDs (or as many as possible) to a NAS box but at that point is where the ideas of how to link that to a TV with a usable touch screen as a remote control are needed. The less "tech" involved is essential as the family and care workers aren't going to want to deal with technical problems if they arise.
If anyone has any ideas I'd be grateful to hear them.
Is there any common set of ideas for dealing with ATSC OTA channels that don't have *perfect* reception, when it comes to streaming live TV to a NPVR client computer?
For recordings - this AM I got a postprocessing script worked out to run VideoRedo's stream fix automatically to resolve timeline issues. That seems to work relatively well. Playback still has blips in reception but it doesn't disrupt the navigation of the file & play/pause.
Some channels - the ones with good reception on my current antenna alignment - seem to livestream nearly without issues at all. Others - where the reception isn't perfect - seem to freeze after experiencing too many signal interruptions within a certain amount of time.
Right now I'm only running one client, which is a TV and is also directly connected to the antenna - so with some channels I know it's just a better idea to skip straight to using the TV rather than going through NPVR. I'd like to add at least one network client in a spot where I won't be able to connect to antenna, so I'd like to resolve this (as best I can) before committing the financial resources to acquiring hardware for the new client.
I was changing my lineup on SchedulesDirect and there's an announcement about them changing listing providers and consequently making major changes to the service. The new feeds will include season/episode info (yay!).
This all happens November 1.
Hopefully sub is already aware of this?!
Is there a way to get NPVR to write the output (which is getting written to stdout) in my PostProcessing.bat to the NPVR or NRecord logs?
I'm attempting to debug some issues with a homebrewed postprocessing script, and it doesn't seem to write the same output to the log that I get when I run my postprocessing script manually from the console.
Does anyone know of any apps that can adjust the time base of an xmltv file?
My Foxtel data has not corrected for daylight saving time properly.
There used to be a program called 'xmltvalter' but that expired when epgstream.net went belly up.
