In the last three days I've had intermittent problems with tuners not being found. Only one of the tuners seems to be working, a reboot usually fixes the problem. In prime time there is no opportunity to diagnose the problem, "Just get my programmes recording" Thank goodness for the Plus1 channels
This morning I installed Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 and rebooted, then tried recording several channels the first recording started on the Hauppauge Nova-T, but the HVR-2200 failed, logs attached.
After another re-start, both tuners are recording properly, i.e. 3 recordings on 3 different tuners.
I hope someone has some insights.
Does anyone know the best way to get kix and Pop+1 epg data. This is for freesat UK dvb-s card. Theres a few channels with no epg using the standard ota epg update method and I cannot see these channels in any xml feeds so far.
My HTPC is running Windows 7 64-bit, NextPVR v3.2.9 and using a Hauppauge HD-PVR. My Client PC is running Windows 7 64-bit with XBMC 13.2 and the NextPVR plugin v1.9.8
When tuning channels in Live TV, I get a Tuner no longer available error in XBMC. If I start LiveTV on the same channel it was last on, the recording works fine but if I then change channels or the first channel I pick in Live TV requires a channel change then I get the Tuner no longer available error. Recordings are saved on a local drive to the HTPC that is shared over the network to my Client PC.
When using the NextPVR interface directly on my HTPC, it will tune channels on Live TV without giving any errors at all. I have found and tried using two other NShared.DLL files found on these forums to address the issue but there was no improvement. I have also rebuilt the PVR and EPG databases in XBMC without any improvements. Recordings made from the EPG (not live tv) appear to tune the channel without any issues.
I have attached log files from XBMC and NextPVR for review.
UPDATE: I installed XBMC latest nightly build of 14.0 (Kodi) and it shows the NextPVR plugin at v1.9.11 but overall result is still the same.
UPDATE 2: Installed latest drivers to HD PVR and it appeared to solve the problem but it has since returned.
Hi
I've just done a rebuild after a corruption of the database killed my system (note to self, back up database etc regularly!!!)
I've just used the standard 3.2.9 install as there is no cumulative update (anyone know why?)
I wasn't sure which version of system to use for 3.2.9 as its ambiguous on the system page, ie is system-npr2 just for 2.6 or for versions past 2.6
Anyway I tried the first version and got a huge number of exceptions, so I thought I must need the version for 2.6 but that didn't work either. No exceptions, but nothing works at all, and every time you go into setting system is un-ticked, no matter how may times you tick it.
So have I done something dumb? Any ideas?
PS I've also noticed the the system plugin is still in the plugin menu even though I've deleted it from the plugin folder.
Hi!
As the title suggests really... I run the nPVR service on one machine and XBMC on clients. All's perfect, until the machine running the service goes to sleep and resumes. It's set to sleep if there's no activity for a couple of hours in the attempt to save a bit of power.... however, once the machine resumes the tuners aren't available to the clients... It also doesn't make a difference if I restart the nrecord service...
Anyone else had experience of this / found a solution?
NextPVR can't find any device(s), tho it worked perfectly before... a day before it normally recorded, next day it couldn't find devices, I didn't install any new software, hardware, no restart of the pc..
So it's throwing exception when I go to Settings -> Devices:
"Unhandled exception has occured in a component in your application..."

My Device "Evolve Venus", it's an AF90xx chip device, is working ok, is visible in Windows' Device Manager, and it works in other apps (DVB Dream). Btw I tested it on another pc with Win 8.0 Pro and NextPVR - there it is working ok.
My OS is Windows 8.1 Pro, so it could be maybe some combo of Win8.1 & NextPVR & last week's windows updates? Don't know... :/
I tried freshly reinstall NextPVR (with deleted folders in c:\Users\Public\... c:\Program Files\... deleted things in registry too),
reinstall drivers, tho it wasn't problem of device itself...
All without positive effect..
On September 9th 2014, Schedules Direct made an announcement on their forums that TMS is dropping DataDirect service on November 1st 2014 - however plans are in place but developers may want to take note of the upcoming changes.
Quote:"Thankfully there is no need to panic, as Schedules Direct was already hard at work implementing a more modern JSON-based service using newer/better data feeds from TMS. This service offers the following improvements:
More efficient "differential" transfer method. You only download the data that changes. Mid-day updates are fast and efficient.
The ability to combine multiple source feeds into one output product.
Additional data fields, including:
"season/episode" numbering!
Images for cast, episodes
NFL Sunday Ticket Details!!!!
Completely custom lineups, including "Free to Airâ Satellite
ability to share QAM tuning info
Additional International Lineups
This service is up and running now, and grabbers are available for MythTV and SageTV. We also encourage others to develop grabbers for their own applications.
In addition to the JSON service, a separate service is being developed to mimic the DataDirect feed. It's not ready yet but should be able to provide basic functionality for those legacy applications that can't move to JSON. It is expected to have most, but not all of the data currently in the Data Direct feed and will be updated daily. More details will be available about this later."
Ok - Soon after DVB-T launched in NZ I switched to Win7 Media Center - Mainly for the better Audio support for HE-AAC. At the time the only option for GBPVR (as it was still then) was the one written in Norway and I had problems with Audio Sync that required skipping back and forward to bring back into sync. The biggest reason I stuck with Media Center so long was the Xbox 360 as extender (It got me permission from the wife to buy two Xbox 360s ) but now I am back so I can use my newly purchased Hauppauge Colossus card to record much better quality from my STB than Media Center would allow.
First I have to say - Its good to be back, I installed the latest version - It detected my card (Only the Colossus in at present, I'll shift the others soon) and let me import an XMLTV epg with ease. 10 - 15 minutes and I was up and running with a guide and able to watch/record from my STB.
Its going to mean some expenditure - I've liked having the PC in the garage out of the way and Xbox's to do the playback and scheduling etc - I think I'll go with the latest Celeron based Intel NUC, they are cheap, QUIET, tiny, reliable and when I eval'd one a while back it played any HD media I threw at it without batting an eyelid - Anyone using these as a NPVR Client PC?
I've seriously missed the client/server setup - Amazes me with MCE with such great support for Xbox's as Extenders and yet there is no way to make a pc work other than to simply playback recordings (No EPG / Scheduling etc).
Any way - I look forward to reading and hopefully contributing to the forums and hope to see a lot of the old crew that were here when I was last loyal
Sub, I am trying to extend the end time of a recording dynamically but something is going wrong, any ideas?
Code:
5:58 PM

(here my code says that the game is still on so don't end at 6)
schd.EndTime = schd.EndTime.AddMinutes(2);
schd.Save();
5:59 PM

(good Console.WriteLine(schd.EndTime.ToLocalTime()) shows the new end time)
6:00 PM

(but it still end at 6:01 with my one minute of padding)
) but now I am back so I can use my newly purchased Hauppauge Colossus card to record much better quality from my STB than Media Center would allow.
