Hi!
Dead quick one...
Just wondering whether it is possible to check the status of the tuners from a client... i.e. see which ones are tied up doing what...
Is it then possible to kill / reset a tuner if it happens to have got stuck???

Keep up the great work all,
John

Hello,

I just installed NPVR and my DVB-T card on my server (Windows 8.1) in back-end in order to have live TV on my HTPC with XBMC 13.1 (Windows 7).

Initially everything was on my HTPC (XBMC, NPVR and DVB-T card) and everything worked fine.

Since my change, I have one little problem on channel logos.

The logos are correctly assigned to each channel in NPVR.
In XBMC, logos appear but are not allocated to the right channels.




I tried on another XBMC (on my laptop) and the problem is the same.

On the laptop, so I tried to reset the database of the video recorder in XBMC setup, to no avail. I deleted the images in the folder \User\xxx\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\addon_data\pvr.nextpvr\ and it worked.






On my HTPC, doing the same manipulation, logos remain assigned to the wrong channels. I tried to delete file \User\xxx\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\Database\TV22.db but no change...

Any help, please!?

Thanks

Julien

Hi All!

Help please, I searched and searched and I could not find an answer in this forum.

I have to change the PATH in the TV Listings plug-in to point to my Server on the network.

The TV Listings plug-in is *NOT* letting me change/save these settings.

Please see attached photos ...

This is the location of NPVR files on the Win 8.1 Pro client :

C:\Users\Public\NPVR

The C:\Users\Public\NPVR folder is "owned" by Administrators (Me)

The C:\Users\Public folder is "owned" by SYSTEM (Windows)

These are the DEFAULT settings that the TV Listings plug-in setup,
when I installed it on the Win 8.1 Pro client:

Image Directory:

C:\Users\Public\NPVR\\Media\Shows

TVDB Data Directory:

C:\Users\Public\NPVR\\Plugins\TV Listings\TheTVDB


I need to CHANGE these settings TO (-> POINT to my Server):

\\Ds-p45-wrk-03\npvr\Media\Shows

\\Ds-p45-wrk-03\npvr\\Plugins\TV Listings\TheTVDB

How do I make TV Listings plug-in SAVE the new settings?

BTW, What is this file? CONFIG-MASTER-DONT-EDIT.xml
(The DATA PATH is set to "hushpc" in this file. This is the wrong path for my server.)

Thanks!

Lately my npvr system has bees slow to respond, it seems to have gotten worse after a recent windows update. I haven't looked in the logs to see how long things actually take but stopping a playback can take about 15-20 seconds. Has anyone else noticed this? I seem to remember that someone mentioned indexing some tabels in npvr.db3 some time ago, can anyone remember what this was all about?

The Recording service seems to die from time to time and recordings won't start until i manually restart it.
It seems like a new problem with this version 3.2.9, i don't think it happened before to me.
It happened twice this last two days. I'm hoping something obvious can be seen in the Logs i attach.

Hi, new to NextPVR so forgive me if any of these exist and I couldn't find them:

• Ability to delete all recordings of a certain show at once.
  
• Ability to record a particular show on all channels -- HD only
  
• Option for human readable file names with season/episode - primarily for Plex or other streaming
  

I've just create an open repository for this project at bitbucket.org,

https://bitbucket.org/revenz/nextpvr-for-samsung/

I welcome any improvements made by users, obviously I haven't had much time to spend on this over the last few months.

I suspect the next time I'll have to really work on the project will be over xmas (so yeah 4 months away). I may be able to work on it sooner, would like to convert it to angulardart and take advantage of that, since it compiles down to javascript it should work fine with this, but make the objects more strict and easier to unit test etc.

Its on bitbucket instead of github as I prefer Hg to git.

I'm sure I've asked this before but can't find my post.

My npvr db only has a single genre for each TV show as that's all my xmltv source provides. I seem to remember though that some guide sources provide more than one per TV show and the EPG_EVENT.genres column has them stored in some sort of delimited format. If that's the case, what is the delimiter? Comma, colon, semi-colon?

Cheers,
Brian

Hello,

What I want to be able to clear Recording History for individual episodes.

I record older television shows for my video library and don't delete them after watching since I enjoy watching them multiple times. I've set the advanced configuration setting to 9999 so they don't record again. On occasion, a recording either gets messed up or accidentally deleted and I need to be able to record the episode again the next time it airs.

I've looked at the NPVR.DB3 database and see the scheduled_recording table that stores all the recordings that have been recorded or are scheduled to be record. In the Recently_deleted table I can see the unique_identifier field that correlates to the unique_id field in the EPG_Event table so NPVR knows not to record it again. However, I don't see this field in the scheduled_recordings table. I'd like to be able to delete the one episode from the recently_deleted table. I know it's being stored somewhere because you're adding it when NPVR deletes the recording but I don't see how you are relating the scheduled_recording record to the unique_id data in the EPG

I'm an accomplished database programmer and would be more than willing to develop a small utility to accomplish this and share it with the community as well as any other utilities I might develop in the future if you would be willing to share how you are relating the recently_deleted table to the scheduled_recordings table when you delete a recording.

I did search the forums and you indicated in one post that when a recording is flagged as failed for whatever reason, it would not be added to the recently_deleted table. I could possibly set the status to a failed indication or update the failure_reason field and let NPVR manage the recently_deleted table.

I look forward to a long association with the NPVR community.

I am experimenting with transcoding recordings from .ts to .mp4. I am using:
ffmpeg.exe -i infile.ts -c:v libx264 -crf 20 -s 720x404 -c:a copy outfile.mp4

After the transcode, I update scheduled_recording table of npvr.db3 with the new filename.

They play in vlc but not in npvr.

Is this a codec issue, a transcode issue or an npvr issue?
The attached log doesn't tell me a whole lot.

Thanks for looking,


Jim Margarit
