I move my tuners to another PC.
Everything went fine and the other PC NextPVR is working fine.
On the old PC, acting as a PC Clients works fine also, Device status is showing the other PC tuners status.
However, NRecord.exe on the old PC is still trying to record ?
What else is needed to disable NRecord.exe on the old pc?
I disabled the Act as client PC, restart NextPVR,
then remove all tuners, I also terminate all NdigitalHost.exe
I then remove all *recording*xml file
however all recordings are still there!
looks like I will will not run NextPvr -emptydb to remove all recording and empty npvr.db3
because I wanna keep the previous recordings until I see them.
In the end I deleted all Recurring Recordings, just a lot of mouse clicks!
Do I need to remove the plugins on the client PC? No, if you delete the plugings the UI wont work fine on the clients. However the System plugin look at the old PC disk instead of the remote one so I guess running Update EPG on the old PC will still run the update on the old pc and not on the other PC having the tuners.
I am in the USA, on Charter, and trying to get IR Blaster to work.
Motorola DCSX3220e on Charter.
From Charter's website, the possible codes based upon matching my remote with their "picture" of the remote are:
"Charter OCAP-4
The remote control code(s) for your cable box: Motorola: 01376, 00476, 00810, 00276, 01187, 01254"
None of these codes work though.
I have the irblaster hooked to my hauppauge3350 and the light on the blaster triggers when I send a code.
I've asked and been told that the receiver is above the blue power button, and when I try to change channels I can make the cable modem blip but the channel doesn't change. Pretty sure I have the blaster's sending unit placed in an good spot on the modem.
Learning doesn't work, the blastconfig utility tells me that the remote "does not support the toggle bit" when I try to make the thing learn the signals I am sending form the remote.
What format(s) of XMLTV element - <episode-num><episode-num> does NextPVR support?
I started out with this:
<episode-num>10.16.</episode-num>
I have moved on to this:
<episode-num system="xmltvns">10.16.</episode-num>
And still no luck. The hangup could be the lack of 'part' information after the second dot. The standard is a little confusing on what to use when there is no 'part' information. Any help on the format(s) NextPVR is looking for would be appreciated.
Thanks.
xmltv_ns: This is intended to be a general way to number episodes and
parts of multi-part episodes. It is three numbers separated by dots,
the first is the series or season, the second the episode number
within that series, and the third the part number, if the programme is
part of a two-parter.
Long time user of NextPVR but just starting using IGL.
Having a problem with the TV series: Reckless. Using a PostProcessing.bat file to rename the .TS file. Reckless was not renamed. SearchLite/Series folder has an xml file for Reckless. Looked at file and it seems to be a show from 1997 not the 2014 show I recorded. Went to Tvdb.com and indeed there are 2 series for Reckless. The first is just Reckless(from 1997) and the second is Reckless(2014). What can I do to get IGL to use Reckless(2014)?
How does NPVR go about deciding which is the secondary display?
I have a normal monitor connected by VGA as my primary display, and I have a TV & projector connected via an HDMI matrix switcher set as the secondary display.
Ever since I set things up this way, NPVR keeps changing which display it starts up on - I will start the system, start up NPVR and it will open on the VGA monitor instead of the TV or projector. I go in to settings and change the status of 'Start on secondary display' from whatever it currently is, restart NPVR and it starts on the correct display. Then later, the same thing happens again. I change the tick-box in settings from whatever it was set at, and restart NPVR again. I must have changed that setting 50 times in the last month.
A few extra bits of information:
Previously I had the TV & projector connected via VGA, through a splitter and didn't have any problems.
This behaviour has persisted through a change of graphics card (ATI to Nvidia), so I don't think video drivers are to blame.
Windows does not seem to have any problem knowing which screen is which, as my taskbar is always staying on the VGA monitor where it should be. XBMC has also started on the TV or projector as it should every time.
In display settings, the VGA monitor is 'Display 2' (although set as the main display) and the other display 'display 1', but it seems that it's impossible to change this, and an HDMI display will always become 'display 1' when connected alongside a VGA monitor.
I'm using the latest version, on W7 64 bit.
Any ideas what might be going wrong, or any way to force NPVR to start on the right display?
This is the second time I have noticed this.
When New Channels start Transmitting I have scanned and added them, (DVB-EPG left as default) expecting them to populate during the overnight epg update.
On the last 2 occasions, after 2 nights they are still showing [No Program Details] Emptying and doing a manual scan finds them immediately and the overnight update is fine from then on.
This last occasion the manual scan was only 20 mins after the overnight update.
I have a Delock 61959 which is capable of receiving DVB-T and DVB-C.
I managed to get it working using MediaPortal, but somehow that crashed on my PC and I'm not
able to re-install it properly (at least not without a clean windows install).
There is a peculiar thing with this tuner: ALL software sees it as a DVB-T tuner, except the ARCSOFT Totalmedia software
that is upplied with it (but that software is not capable of finding the DVB-C channels!!!!)
Using MediaPortal, I had to manually search for the DVB-C channels (using the option "Enable Channel Movement Detection").
Is it possible to instruct NextPVR (using config files???) to scan only ONE channel for
DVB-C channels? e.g. at 304 Mhz, there are three TV channels present (QAM64, 6875 )
and save the found results.
