I'm guessing most of us have multiple tuners. Is there a technical reason why no PVR backends uses the "next" available tuner to pretune the "next" channel in the frontends list to have near-instant channel changes?

Thank you for a great piece of software

I have a large household and record quite a bit and I have a need to be able to change the recording priority from time to time. I normally have enough tuners to record everything but sometimes I want to be able to watch a show as soon as it comes on.

I've looked at the recurring_recording table and I've got a pretty good concept of what needs to be done. I would need to reorder everything below a recording that I moved up and visa versa on a recording that I moved down. Then I would need to update the recurrence_oid for everything in the scheduled_recording table. Since the OID and priority fields are the same I would keep them the same, however, I don't see an underlying reason to do so as long as the recurrence_oid matched the oid. Have I missed anything?

I probably would not be good at writing a plug in but more as a stand-alone utility managing the database tables.

On a few of my shows I have received the following error at the bottom of my IGL log.

I try to use NextPVR on my Rec100 ( digital devices ). I first installed a full windows 7 and NextPVR, tuners where found without any additonal setting or action.

Because windows 7 was consuming most of my system partition I installed windows ThinPC. ( ThinPC is a stripped version of windows 7, in fact it is an embedded version mostly used in virtual envoirements)

I could install NextPVR, .NET 4.0, DirectX without any problem. NextPVR does start but does not show my tuner cards. In the log I see the tuner cards are discovered, however they are not visible in the devices tab.

I have attached the log file.

Any suggestions ?

I have trouble playing files with German Umlauts (ä, ö, ü) again on the NMT. NMT connection crashes and I am back to main menu. I am not sure though, if my problem is related. Files don't play from the video library either. Renaming files cures the problem, however, I can't go through recordings anymore, because the filename does not match anymore - of course.

I had this same problem some time ago, but it had been fixed by adding this to config.xml: <MVPUseShortFilenamesOnNMT>true</MVPUseShortFilenamesOnNMT> . However, that doesn't seem to work anymore.

Logs don't show much, except for the MVP server restarting.

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.
