When I try to use the "archive" option in the recordings screen I get an unhandled exception report with the following info. I'm using the current version of nPVR and have tried this function both with the default skin and the NextBlue skin. Logs are attached. Any idea why this is not working?

I don't watch a lot of live TV so this is not a major problem for me, but if I do attempt to watch live TV the audio stutters badly and it's unwatchable.
I have a transcoding HDHomerun which is sending a H.264 stream to NPVR. If I disable transcoding then the audio sounds fine.
I thought maybe it was a audio decoder issue but I don't think so anymore, I've tried both Lav and AC3Filter with the same results and my PC has plenty of remaining CPU and RAM.
The audio works fine if I watch Live TV with transcoding enabled in XBMC or in HDHomerun's QuickTV app so the problem seems localized to NPVR.
Anyways I just wanted to report the potential issue so that you are aware of it.
When I try to playback recordings they either say they've failed, or look to be okay until you click on the recording to start watching it and I get...

How can I correct this please? If I click the Continue button it just closes and reopens the dialog box for this error. I have to use Windows Task Manager to abort the application.
I want episodes for every show to be sorted by date ascending. It looks like it stores sort order per show such that I have to drill into each show to display the episodes and change the sort for each of them individually. Is there any way to set a global default sort order for episodes? Thanks.
I've been using GBPVR and now NPVR for a few years. Currently running v 3.2.9 on Win7. Recently, I've had a lot of my recorded TV shows freeze on playback for about 30 seconds, then return to the NPVR menu. "Resume" doesn't work after a freeze up. It starts playback at the end of the recording. I restart playback at the beginning, skip through the "bad" spot and can watch more. Sometimes, it's only one spot in a recording. In some cases, it happens several times over the course of a recording.
I've read through the forum postings that others have noticed this behavior, but haven't seen any definite solutions. I've already tried different decoders. I cannot think of any event or change in configuration that would have caused this to start happening within the past few months.
This morning, I deleted all my old logs so the current log would only capture this event. Is there anything new I could try? Log attached.
I have "Use Green Button" ticked in the Settings Menu and use a genuine MS Remote, but every time NPVR starts using the Green Button, (Full Screen) it does not have focus - Full Screen but with the Taskbar over it. Which then requires getting the mouse for just one click to regain focus.
If NPVR starts from a shortcut and usually on starting Windows (from the Start-up Folder shortcut) all is OK.
This is on Windows 8.1 but I think it goes all the way back to the start of NPVR when I was using Vista.

When using the New Layout in Videos and if also using it in Recordings (Not using it yet) - Even if there is a full set of fanart, banner and poster in Media/Shows, they will not be used unless there is an xml with the same name.
Also if that is how it should be, what is the minimum information that should be in the xml (So I can produce the missing ones) - a lot of the downloaded ones there already seem to be full of bogus info.
If either of these require changes to NPVR I am sure it can wait for the next release.
After registering the decoders they became visible in NPVR and I can select them in the settings. However when I select the Cyberlink Audio Decoder for AC3 Audio there isn't any sound. I have to use AC3 audio because I have a transcoding HDHomerun and that's the container it uses.
So has anyone else tried to do something like this? I can fallback to using LAV, but was looking for a higher quality decoder.
i had a working GBPVR Server some years ago,
now i got new hardware and have npvr,
my problem is, is there anybody with a good working .bat / .ini for comskip?
For Germany?
Hi,
ich hatte mal einen GBPVR Server vor jahren,
jetzt habe ich endlich neue Hardware und natürlich auch npvr,
meine Frage ist, ob irgendjemand eine neue Comspi Lösung hat, dann muss ich das nicht wieder neu machen.
Seriously, since moving to cablecard, I have had absolutely zero problems (no more clear qam channel remapping). I've even stopped visiting these forums daily... yawn. What a super application!
Let's say you are watching Live TV on a client. You go back to the guide and find a new channel to watch. You have a choice menu of "Close, Quick Record, Record, Find All and Watch". Let's say you choose "Watch". At that point the client sends instructions to the server to tune to the new channel. Note: BTW, the same command gets sent if you right click -> channels -> and choose a channel from the pop-up window.
Does anybody know the command/syntax that gets sent from the client to the server to change the channel?
The reason why?
I would like to change channels on the server via a program other than using NPVR on the client. As you can see, this is the remote on my client. Each channel has its own little icon. I can place any command to anywhere under those buttons. I would like to place the NPVR command under each button.
Also, besides channel changes, I would also like to send commands "Toggle Previous Channel (ie, GoBack)" and "Channel Up (ie double arrow up)" and "Channel Down (ie double arrow down)" if possible.
