I'm trying to delete the first show in this list (Blues vs Hurricanes), but when I pull the menu up (PCH A100) it offers the filename form the last one in the list? Super Rugby_2104_etc?

k.

I thought I'd start a new thread for this instead of tacking it to the end of the thread about deep entry points.

I finished a Confluence version of the XNEWA Home screen, and I thought I'd post a couple screen shots for feedback (attached). I've learned more than I ever really wanted to know about skinning (and the Confluence skin in particular), but I think it turned out OK. I used the Confluence blades for the menu, so I gained a fair amount of space on the screen. The only hitch is that the blade defaults to open because XNEWA puts focus on the first menu item. It's not the worst thing in the world, and might actually be better for folks still unfamiliar with the Confluence blades.

Feedback would be nice, just keep in mind that after 10 hours, I'm a little attached to this.

Once I confirm this is a good direction, I'll start working on the other screens.

Hello everyone,

I have Version 3.2.9
I am in Australia

EPG update hour is 6:45pm.

I think this issue occurs after the NPVR EPG does an update. I find that a programme will appear 2 or more times in the same time slot BUT the start and end times of the duplicate will be slightly different to the first instance of the programme.

As an example MASH starts at 6:00 PM and finishes at 6:30PM. After an EPG update I can see that programme but there is also a second entry for MASH showing as starting at say 6:02PM and finishing at 6:33PM.

On the TV Guide what you get is a very small box for the 1st instance then the 2n instance seems to over lay most of where the first instance would normally be located if there was not a 2nd instance over laying it. I hope that makes sense.

Some channels seem to be worse than others. The TEN network is the worst one. Sometimes 7Mate has the same issue but not often. Other channels don't do this at all.

To me this could be either:
The EPG is not clearing out the channels programme list before storing the EPG from the latest download
or
The networks are constantly changing their programme start and end information by a couple of minutes in the EPG and this confuses NPVR into thinking this is a completely new TV show.

The issue with this is that I get the same programme being recorded by multiple tuners and missing out on other programmes.

If I manually dump the EPG and then Update it manually I get a clean EPG but the next time it auto updates I start getting the duplicates again.

I'm hoping someone has a suggestion of the cause and a solution.
Thank you

Had an VF ISP salesman come by and offer a deal to move to fibre which we couldn't pass... Bundled VF TV into it as well, but I actually had no idea until it was being installed that it was TV over IP (was described as a box swap with different badge on front).. Wondered if the IP broadcast can be captured by NPvr ?? (im guessing not...). Can record natively, but is more flexible to have on the HTPC if I want to keep a recording... Thanks

Does the Movies plugin work with DVD rips in folder format? It doesn't seem to work for me. Is there a switch I need to use?

Thanks.

Edit: The video works, but it doesn't show any posters or fanart even though it's there. This is only for the dvd rips in folder format. Looking at the output of the xml file, it is clear that it doesn't know where the art is. Fixing this would make it the perfect plugin.

I tried virtual DVD from slysoft and NPVR won't mount iso drives. It has a syntax error with Mount 0 or something like that.

Am I stuck using deamontools lite? Daemontools has adware and crap like that...I'm so annoyed, I did a system image restore to cleanse myself.

with Fanart enabled in videos thumbnail view and I quickly go up one directory and go down another before the art can update, NPVR crashes.

Hi, after I upgraded to the last version I seemed to have lost all recurring and pending recordings. I manually added the recordings from the guide by using the ' record all episodes on this channel'-option. they appear in Pending, but recurring is till empty! How is that possible? Any ideas?

thanks!

I am having what seems to me an odd problem, and hope maybe someone can help me. I am trying to use VideoReDo TVSuite4 to edit my ts files created by NPVR, to remove the commercials and transcode to AVC. On my main computer I do this, saving my files in M2TS format (because I used to do this to run on my PS3), and everything plays fine through NPVR via Videos, but I've been experimenting with saving in MKV on my homegrown PVR system, since NPVR doesn't recognize M2TS as a file extension to keep around in the database.

And that's where I run into problems - NPVR won't play the MKV files created by VRD. The odd part, at least to me, is that it WILL play MKV files that I download, of the same encoding and resolutions. I'm guessing I might need to change some settings in VRD, but thought I'd check here and see if anyone knew what might be going on with this.

Any ideas? If you need any more info, files, etc. let me know.

Thanks.

I just upgraded from 2.6.2 to 3.2.9, when recordings have finished they are still coloured red in the timeline, is this expected behaviour?

If I manually cancel a recording the red disappears.
