Version 3.2.9 - Win XP -SP3

Since upgrading to current version, I've been having the following issues:

Having to press "Enter" multiple times to select a folder.
Mismatch between icon/title & file played when selecting.
Exiting a video causes the "Resume / Restart" dialog to pop up after video stops. Pressing "escape" causes menu to pop back one level.
This one's not a bug - Live video works again (hasn't for some time)

Don't see anything in release patches that would cover this. Tried uninstall/re-install. Any recommendations? Go back one version perhaps?

TIA

Hi

I'm back, been floating but haven;t had a system for the past 3 months on account of moving. So in the mean time I've purchased a HDHomeRun to virtualise a netpvr machine. With local folders I had it working last night.

But I'd like to record (and send live tv cache) to a network location.

I remember all the usual tricks - set the NPVR service to a local user, that user is an admin, the destination share has that same user with full control.

I also tried setting the HDHomeRun service to the same user.

But any attempt to start a recording no file is created.

What have I missed? There's nothing in the event logs (auditing or otherwise) of either machine and the nextpvr logs just says in ndigitialhost that File size is 0 bytes (non existant). Channel is locked with signal.

NRecord complains about an invalid file passed at the network location - and gets a error saving the metadata, but doesn't give a hint why (doesn't exist, permissions etc).

Hi, there is something I have been seeing in the last week or so in NEWA. I have attached a couple images to illustrate. The first image, titled "good entry" is a screen shot of what a good NEWA entry looks like on my computer. Then the second image, titled "bad entry", is what I am writing to ask about. That one was the very first entry at the top of the screen. It looks like two entries superimposed. The error is persistent across web browser refreshes and even different PCs.

I use mc2xml to load SchedulesDirect guide info. I don't use any of the automatic update options. I only manually update it, through the mc2xml batch file that NPVR runs when I click on "Update DB." I only do that when there is nothing being recorded.

I am figuring the problem above might either be due to a corrupt NPVR database or corrupt Schedules Direct info. Maybe I should save the programs I have already scheduled, and then click the "Empty Db" button on NPVR before I click "Update Db?" I have never tried that before.

Also in a couple places, the TS and XML filenames for the recorded movie are correct, but the movie that got recorded was wrong. I don't know if that is related to the above issue or not.

Thanks

I am trying to get web streaming to work. When I click play (on the local machine) I receive the error below. Of course it does not work remotely either. I can how view any channel live on both the local PC and a remote PC. Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks

Hi! I've been lurking for a while, using NPVR on and off for a couple of years and I was wondering what is needed to add official support for my country and most others in South America that also use this same standard (ISDB-Tb, the b referring to the modifications introduced by Brazil).
Right now, it almost works out of the box, I had to select Taiwan on my tuner to get the proper frequencies scanned, and not much more.
As this variant of ISDB-T uses H264 video + HE-AAC audio, I get no audio on NPVR while it works on XBMC. Also, from what I could figure, EPG is GMT timed, so all the info is off by (in my case) 3 hours. Finally, I'm no sure what encoding is present on the EPG data, but accented characters are wrong, looking at codepages on wikipedia it seems like it's using ISO6937 instead of ISO8859-1.
My tuner is a Mygica S870, it uses a Dibcom 8000 chip and I'm with the default BDA driver.
Please let me know what if any other info you need from me, I can post logs, freq tables and I could even set up a remotely accessible VM for you guys to work on.

Thanks!

All,

I am new to NextPVR and have installed it on a win 7 machine with HDhomerun tuner. I installed a second win 7 machine and configured it as a client PC.

I can do everything from the client, except schedule a recording. It goes though the motions, but does not set the recording. However I can cancel a recording from the client. I have tried to disable the firewall on both machines without success.


Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks

We had discussed this issue in April and just never got back to it. I'm now needing this feature, and wish to pursue it further. I have 3.2.9 installed, and utilizing IPTV. It works well with one recording. But as soon as I try to start a second recording, I receive an error indicating that no tuners are available. I have had the impression that IPTV would utilize multirecord functionality to support more than one recording or live TV session. I have included a log file, but I find nothing in the log that would indicate that the second recording was even attempted. It appeared to me that the error was reported on some earlier validation criteria before it ever tried to attempt starting the recording.

The IPTV system utilizes the following format. It utilizes UDP, with a different Multicast IP address for each channel. The port number is the same for each channel, so thus channel 2 might be: 239.16.255.2:30120 and channel 4 would be: 239.16.255.4:30120

Any ideas on how to get IPTV to utilize multirecord?

I am new to NextPVR and this may have been answered already. I have a Hauppauge HVR-1600 ATSC/QAM combo card. I have used it for years with SageTV and have now been looking at NextPVR since SageTV is no longer around. I installed NextPVR and it detected my tuner card with the two tuners on it. The way I had it setup in SageTV was on the one tuner connector I would run the cable in directly from the wall and use clear QAM to configure the channels. The second connector I would connect to my cable box and use the IR blaster to change the channel and that tuner would be set to channel 3. I have installed NextPVR and was able to use the cable that was directly hooked up to the tuner and scan the channels and was able to configure that. The second device I would like to use the IR blaster to change the channel. I read all through the forums about going into the device settings and setting the irblaster.exe but I do not see this in my devices. Any help would be greatly appreciated. All I see in my devices is what listed below:

First Device
Device - Hauppauge WinTV 418 BDA Tuner
Type - QAM
Enabled - is checked
Common Interface - is grey out
Channels - Default Cable Frequencies

Second Device
Device - Hauppauge WinTV 418 BDA Tuner
Type - ATSC
Enabled - is checked
Common Interface - is grey out
Channels - Default Cable Frequencies


It does not have the area to select the program to change channels as I have read in other articles.

Any thoughts?

It'll be a server only, so needing to run the recorder (and client for configuration only). Expecting to access via plex or nextpvr client.

Tuner will be a hdhome run with recording across the network.

I'm thinking probably windows 7, but is there anthing that would run leaner. By lean I mean C Drive size and memory usage. This will be running as a VM.

I'm sorry - this is the most fundamental of questions!

I downloaded NextPVR from the web-site and followed the install instructions. Everything seemed to go well but - when it finished - I had no NextPVR on my machine.

I am sure I did something dumb but can you suggest what?
