I searched for this problem and didn't find anything that seemed to match my problem...

I'm using XBMC 13.2 with NPVR 3.2.9.
TV Tuner: AVerMedia AVerTVHD Duet PCTV tuner (A188) A188-AF PCI-Express x1 Interface
GFX: RADEON 7700
CPU: AMD X4

Also, I run the audio/video via HDMI through a surround sound receiver before passing to the TV in case that's relevant.

When I'm watching through XBMC, all of the HD (1080) channels are constantly buffering (they buffer from 0 up to about 15%, then play for about 5 seconds before buffering again). The buffering takes several seconds as well. I've left it on a channel for several minutes and the problem doesn't seem to resolve itself and occurs on every 1080 channel that comes in. I've never seen buffering on the SD channels beyond when I first select a channel.

This issue occurs only in XBMC - all channels work wonderfully in the standalone NPVR client. I'm basically using all defaults in NPVR and XBMC using LAV for all of my audio and video encoding (I'm not very well educated on codecs, but they seem to work fine in the NPVR client).

Thanks for reading - any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi UJB

I have one problem and one request.

The problem is with Autosearch/Autorecord for a show that runs from 10:30pm to 11:35pm i.e. midnight or just before midnight (or even after midnight for that matter).

• If I enter 10:30pm to 11:30pm as start range the show is not found due to the 11:35 end.
  
• If I enter 10:30pm to 12:00am and click update as start range the show is found the first time I do this manually.
  
• However when I reselect the saved search it does not (no longer) show the 12:00am end time and the show is also not found when I click submit.
  

Hello All,

We are using WinTV7 to show educational videos and shows to small groups of employees for training purposes. We are using an Hitachi overhead projector. We would like to limit the amount of remotes in the training room.

Is there any way to configure the Hauppauge remote to power on and off the Hitachi overhead projector?

Thank you

Just wondering I anyone has used the Pulse Eight CEC USB Adapter?

I use a Hauppauge 45 button remote at the moment and understand that I'll have a dramatic reduction in functionality using CEC, but was thinking of using both (mostly so if I already have the TV remote in hand that I can control basic functions without looking for the Hauppauge remote).

Anyone know if the Pulse Eight is any good, behaves itself with NextPVR, or if there is a better product?

Thanks

I noticed that starting the tv-guide (timeline) in xbmc takes more than 5 seconds to start.
I don't know if this is normal and if not, I don't know what causes this.

On my androidbox (s89-h) it took 5,464s (08:52:33 T:1763584176 DEBUG: void EPG::CGUIEPGGridContainer::UpdateItems() completed successfully in 5464 ms) on LAN (not wifi).
My npvr.db3 is 10.259 kB (download here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/o8hiepmmz29hg08/npvr.db3?dl=0)
Client running Kodi 13.2.
Logs attached.

(on my samsung tablet it took 6,861s on wifi, kodi 13.1).

EDIT1: I started sqlite and opened the db3. Forgot to back it up first and did a "vaccuum" and after that the db3 is only 3825kB. Will have to check to see if it loads quicker now. Will report back later.
EDIT2: Well, actually it now takes even longer, about 10s.

Hello! Suggestions please!

I current have my TV devices coming into a desktop in my office. It works no problem. I also use the machine for doing work besides nPVR recording.

To remove unsightly wires from the side of my house though, I'm thinking of relocating the tuners to the garage which is far nearer the satellite / aerial... and here no wires will be seen. Obviously I won't then be working in the garage, so I'd need to keep the desktop in the office to do work and purchase something new to run the npvr box / tuners. There's my question... what should I buy to run 4-6 tuners and npvr so that it works properly???

Currently the office machine is a quad core i7 960 with 4MB RAM. I've obviously never had a problem using nPVR with that... but I don't want to buy something for the garage that's well over speced.... need it to do an excellent job, but not have redundant hardware bought!

Thanks for any ideas.

I am recording Forever. NextPVR not using/finding Forever (2104). Seems to be using Forever from 1996 which has no fanart. I had the same problem with Reckless.

How do I fix this?

Thanks

Seem to get this message up if I try and access via NEWA. It seems to bugger up the recording service also.

Logs and capture of err or attached.

I have NextPVR running as a server on one PC and a second PC that runs as a client.

When I start NextPVR on the client PC its takes about 30 seconds to load.

Looking at the log there seems to be a big gaps between two of the entries (see below)
2014-09-30 20:53:36.896 [DEBUG][1] Load@7
2014-09-30 20:53:57.910 [DEBUG][1] Setting override for <ExtraRecordingDirectories> to:
2014-09-30 20:53:57.910 [DEBUG][1] Load@8

I've tried changing a few things but can't seem to fix this.

I tried adding an extra recording directory on the client but that seems to get dropped as soon as I exit.

Anybody got any ideas?

There's an issue renaming this show tonight, it's also an issue with ncis new orleans. Any suggestions?
