I've been looking over the wiki and searching some threads and I'm not clear on this. I've read about sharehelper and recording service limitations and using the path rather than the mapped drive, but I'm not sure I understand these options well enough, I'm not sure if they always work but I do know that my attempts have failed.

I'm using W7 64, 3.2.9 across a regular home network to a W8 64 machine. Mapping and sharing works great for all other purposes.

Occassionally I will experience some stuttering/choppy playback on my TS files.

I believe it happens after switching between a downloaded MP4, MKV, etc., and the normal cable channel TS files.
I assume this has to do with the wrong decoder/resolution/frame rate being selected?

I can correct the problem by exiting and restarting NPVR.
(I tried the AutoRefresh plugin but that didn't seem to help)

Is there an easier way for me to "reset" the app without having to exit/restart?

Hi,

When streaming using the H264/MP4A/MPEG-TS preset in Streamer Transcode Options: I'm getting video but no sound. This is the case when streaming to my iPhone and also when streaming to a PC on my LAN. Could I be missing some software or something else to deal with the audio?

Also, I tried within Trans Opts to use the Manual Options settings to mimic the Preset but when I chose H264 from the Video Encoder drop-down, the Manual Streamer Transcode Options: box simply disappears dropping me back to Streamer Transcode Options:. Keeping the encoder set at Default is all I am able to do.

Any insights would be appreciated.

Thanks!


PS: I'm doing this using the Guide.aspx web page rather than the Guide2.aspx web page. This is because Guide2.aspx page is difficult to naviagte with my iPhone.

hi,
i am using a technotrend-usb-tuner for scheduled recording of dvb-c. my system runs win7 x64 and the latest npvr.
it's running fine.
....but:
after scheduled recording my tuner remains active as well as ndigitalhost.exe-process. closing the process manually frees and switches off the tuner. the same happens in suspend mode: the tuner stays active, waking up switches it off (edit: ndigitalhost keeps running!).

i suppose the nrecord- process should regularly close ndigitalhost after recording.
the logs say at 2:18(end of recording) that postprocessing.bat is missing.

has anyone an idea why this problem occurs and how i can resolve it?
shall i close ndigitalhost using postprocessing.bat?
edit: using 'taskkill' in postprocessing.bat helps but can't be the solution. perhaps it's a driver-issue.

thanx in advance

I have to move the server with internal digital tv-card to a location without tv-connection so I'm considering a hdhomerun.

But I have digital encrypted channels that I now decrypt with a softcam (smargo cardreader and newcs, all in windows 7) for my internal tv-card.
Does this work the same (in windows) for a hdhomerun or do I need to this (decrypt with newcs) in linux?

I am a newby and have spent hours setting up the NextPVR. I have searched the forums, but cannot seem to solve my problem.
I have a hauppauge 2250 dual tuner. I have setup the tuners such that I have 2 QAM devices showing up on the device screen - each with the 5 channels that I am trying to watch. They say Type QAM and "Hauppauge WinTV-7164 BDA ATSC/QAM Tuner" and Type QAM "Hauppauge WinTV-7164 BDA ATSC/QAM Tuner"(#2) Present and Enabled with 5 channels.

I have setup the guide and can watch all 5 channels. However, if I record one channel and try to watch a different channel or try to record 2 channels at the same time I get an error saying that there is not a capture device available.

Hoping this is an easy fix!

Thanks!

If a TV channel has 2 sets of subtitles, is it possible to display both sets?

hello everyone. i'm a complete noob here so please be patient with me and please help me understand.

initially i bought the gbox mx2 so i could cut the cord and stream live tv. went on with my roku device for about 2 months before purchasing my gbox mx2. i may have been completely nieve about the situation and what all it needed in order to get the live tv function to work, but i went ahead and jumped on it anyways.

i've gone through the multiple ways of configuring the next pvr client in my xbmc application and doing it like everyone else has done. my issue is, that even though i've enabled the pvr client, i'm still getting messages saying "connection lost". i've gone through the other half of the setup process and tried to configure my firewall to accept the pvr client host names and ports, but still nothing has changed. i don't know what the hell i'm doing wrong, but i've been battling this freaking thing for the past week. honestly, i'm about at my wits end spending unnecessary hours trying to get it to work and sending it back.

can someone please walk me through this step by step and hold my hand along the way? lol i know i'm asking a lot, but i just want to get this right. plus i need to look like i knew what it was the whole time to my wife.

thanks guys.

I am running 3.2.9 on two clients, both Win 8.1. I just set up a new machine - based on Gigabyte Brix 2807 Celeron. All works well, faster in fact based on benchmarks, than my other E-350 based mini client in the living room. Both clients are hooked to HD TVs at 1080 via HDMI cables. I am running all displays at native 1080 resolution.

My issue is that the new Brix unit renders the UI "blurry", appearing upscaled from 720 or less resolution. I have specified 1920x1080 resolution in settings rather than auto, but try as I might, the UI is still blurry in appearance relative to my other machines, or other applications on that client machine. I did a bit of research and installed the Microsoft DirectX 9 runtimes, but that did not seem to help. The video playback of both 720 and 1080 content seems fine.

Maybe an issue with the driver? I would have thought forcing 1080 in the settings would do it?

Hi.

I've got NPVR running on an XP 32 machine. I will be rebuilding the machine (same hardware) as a W7 Pro 64. I would like NPVR to be setup and operate exactly how it is on the XP machine. Which files should I backup on the XP machine and replace on the new machine once I've installed NPVR so that my configuration is quicker/easier? I am especially interested in Devices, Channels, EPG settings and Recording paths.

Thanks.
