I downloaded and installed the most recent build of NEWA (2.13) that just came out. I did some quick tests with XNEWA, and everything seemed fine. Today I noticed that the Recent Recordings section isn't being populated. I checked the logs, and I can't quite figure out where it might be going south and whether this is a result of me running XNEWA code that's kind of forked. If I switch XNEWA to SOAP, everything is fine. I have this recollection that there was one XNEWA section that was still falling back to SOAP pending the release of the next version of NEWA, so I'm thinking that might be where my problem is. Now if I could just remember in which section that was.

So, I think I've finally figured out why comskip isn't working all the time. It's because of the windows unattended sleep function. When it wakes up to record NPVR keeps it awake for the duration of the recording but not for when the show is over and comskip is still running. As result, when I check it sometimes the comskip file is not complete and I think comskip is at fault when in fact it is Windows that's causing the problem.

I'm testing a solution that should work, but I would like to ask others how they've dealt with this issue.

I tell it to enter high performance power scheme so that it doesn't go to sleep, wait for comskip to finish, if there's a comskip task still running leave it in high performance but if there's no comskip then bring it back to balanced where it'll go to sleep in 25 minutes.

Here's my parallelprocessing.bat:

cd /d C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Scripts

echo high performance %Date% %TIME% %1 >>logtest.txt

REM high performance
powercfg -setactive 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c

echo start comskip %Date% %TIME% %1 >>logtest.txt

comskip %1

echo end comskip %Date% %TIME% %1 >>logtest.txt

tasklist /nh /fi "imagename eq comskip.exe" | find /i "comskip.exe"
if errorlevel 0 if not errorlevel 1 goto IsRunning

:exit
echo changing to balanced %Date% %TIME% %1 >>logtest.txt
REM Balanced
powercfg -setactive 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e
exit

:IsRunning
echo comskip running %Date% %TIME% %1 >>logtest.txt

echo keeping high performance %Date% %TIME% %1 >>logtest.txt

REM high performance
powercfg -setactive 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c
exit

Anyone know how to get the previous night's listing to show up in the guide.
I've checked my XML file and the info is there, it just doesn't show in guide.

Hi.

I have another problem after my installation of the latest version, that may or may not be related to my other thread about "Object reference not set..."

I tried to enter a specific set of recordings (Storm Chasers in this case) from the "Ready Recordings".

Trying to do so throws a JustInTime error box, with the title "The path is not of a legal form" and the attached content.

I have also attached logfiles and config.xml

Any suggestions?

I use alot of .m3u playlist and I can't seem to get them to play in MusicBox by using the enter key or the play button. Wondering if I am missing a keyboard shortcut or something.

Thanks.

I get and Unhandled exception when I select the Keyboard menu item in the new SeachLite v2.0 from the Wiki... Any ideas on what I've missed?

Last week, my TV died. I wasn't home. There was lightning & my wife said that it sounded like it hit near the house. We haven't seen any evidence outside. My TV & everything else are plugged into a UPS with surge protection. The TV stopped working. (It also killed a phone on the other side of the house.) I tried various things. The OSD works fine. All the menus display. None of the inputs work (HDMI, Component, Composite). I hooked up an antenna & it seemed to work for the channels I tried via ATSC. I moved the other TV & all the devices work fine attached to it. So, I know it isn't the cables or devices. The TV is a Panasonic TH-42PE77U.

Does anybody have any idea if this sounds like something I could repair myself for significantly less than the price a new 42" plasma of similar quality, like a Panasonic or Samsung?

Hello,

I'm a newbee with NPVR. I'm trying to get live tv up and running but no go so far.
This is my setup:
Windows 8.1 pro, firewall disabled.
USB dongle RTL2832u, drivers auto installed by Windows when plugging in the dongle.
Installed the SAF codec pack.

-chanannel search ok
-tried several codec settings

I noticed that the file in c:/temp stays at 0 bytes. So it looks like that there is no information coming from the dongle.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Would it be possible to automatically refresh the recording list after you delete one through the Delete button on the recording details?

SUB:

I noticed the last few weeks that I am missing shows that should have been recorded.
At first I thought perhaps the shows were missed due to TV network scheduling.

This morning I discovered that the shows were actually recorded, displayed in my recordings list, but somehow mysteriously deleted.
At the time the show was deleted, as far as I know I was just doing the normal skipping around in the listings.
Next thing I know the show no longer shows up in my list, and the actual file was deleted.

One example of this problem is a show called "The Sixties".
If you could take a look at the log files when you get time I would appreciate any help you can give.

Thanx!
