I hadn't really been intending to ever "release" the mods I've made to Confluence, but I decided to make a beta repo for my XBMC add-ons, and once I did that it was a pretty simple matter to create another for my skin mods. So here it is, Confluence Gotham Mods by pkscout (yes, I know - not horribly original).
The one thing in here I don't think you'll see anywhere else is some deep integration of NextPVR with the Gotham LiveTV section. If you are running NextPVR and install XNEWA (which is separate from the NextPVR pvr add on), you'll have some new options to use XNEWA to replace the default Gotham stuff for things like recordings, upcoming recordings (what XBMC calls timers), and epg. You'll also be able to enable links to the NextPVR recurring recording list and web client right in the LiveTV section. If you enable the Confluence skin in XNEWA, this creates a pretty seamless integration. Well, at least I think it does.
Since removing one of my two identical tuners (Hauppauge 5500, defective) DVB-EPG is not working properly anymore. As far as I can see, the EPG source is wrong. I have exported the channel list and imported it again, however, that didn't help. Do I need a full rescan?
My system is a Hauppauge Colossus box. Since upgrading to 3.2.9, I've been getting corrupted recordings after a week to 2 weeks.
I went away for 10 days so I've got a full week of corrupted recordings, and it looks like it started corrupting on the 21st on a topgear episode. It starts with audio, then each recording afterwards advances slightly further into choppy video and audio stuttering.
I've included the only log that goes back that far. I had a look, but I don't see any errors about recording faults.
Not sure how where to start looking on how to fix it.
When I was running the previous version (3.1? with the 2 patch packs), the computer would run for months at a time with out a restart.
Next time it happens, I'll try restarting NPVR / Recording service, and see if that cleans it up. Restarting the PC definitely fixes the corruption.
I can stick a corrupted recording on my server if some one wants to see or look into what it's doing to the .TS files.

This is really a two-part idea.
I am interested in what options may exist (or could) to import a simple two-field text file ("title" AND first four digits of "date") into NPVR (the first part of my idea). This may or may not work a bit along the lines of XmltvExtras, except that it would also indicate on NEWA whether or not I have already imported an entry for a movie (the second part of my idea).
In order to also be compatible with TV shows for other users, perhaps also allow for "subtitle".
I maintain a unique database using a separate application which contains all my movie info (from IMDB), and my idea here is that I could export entries for only the movies which I already have copies of, and then perhaps import that into NPVR somehow, so that when I am using NEWA to schedule my recordings I can get an icon or some form of indication wherever there is a positive match ("title" AND first four digits of "date").
I am thinking there would probably be a few misses here and there, but the likelihood of false positives would be low, so the ability to skip past any flagged entries would ultimately save me some time.
Right now I compare every single movie I am interested in recording against my database by flipping back and forth between NEWA (Firefox) and my database by hand. I store all my movies offline, hence the inability to use NPVR's internal DB as my master DB to catalog these things.
Hi, newbie here setting up npvr for the first time to receive & record UK Freeview channels.
I have 64 bit Windows 7 installed on an Acer Revo using a Pinnacle PCTV 292e USB tuner.
The setup is working fine apart for HD Freeview channels which has BBC News HD and BBC Four HD missing.
I know my tuner and aerial are ok because when I scan for channels using Windows Media Center or the original Pinnacle software the missing HD channels are picked up fine. But the channel scan on npvr does not pick them up? Does anyone have any tips on what I could be doing wrong?
Any suggestions gratefully accepted.
I've taken my portal host offline (needed the box for a kids computer). So I've attached the latest zip here. It no longer has any portal stuff in it and you dont need to register it.
I'll speak to fred250 about using his deployment app for this.
for now, this post is kinda a placeholder for the zip while I take the server offline and format it
All attempts to press the record button are giving a force close in TE. Sorry no logs to hand as I post this so let me know if not repeatable and I'll dig them out later
I've been having trouble since upgrading to the latest version with getting an unhandled exception, "Out of memory" error. At that point, task manager shows NextPVR using over 1 GB of RAM.
Any hints on running this down? I read some messages from last year here with someone tracing it to a leak in an old version ffdshow, but I am running a later one. I thought it mostly happened after watching some m2ts files under Videos, but I got up to 470MB after watching two TS files as recorded by NextPVR - is that high, or about right?
I ran into a situation where NPVR was doing a recording, but, it failed to lock the tuner.
That means, that other apps were free to use it, and NPVR didn't notice it, and it couldn't record anything after that.
