When I manually fix a conflict the conflict screen does not update right away. I think it waits for an epg update then checks on the conflicts. Is there a way to trigger a conflict check from the UI?
Maybe this is already a feature and I just don't know how to do it:
I understand the EPG is searched for show names that are either:
- An exact match or
- Starts with "Show Name....."
But TV3 in NZ has this annoying policy of naming new seasons episodes with "All New...." and I wonder how long they will maintain that policy.
e.g. I recorded a season of "Ice Road Truckers" last year and left that in my recurring recordings for the next season, but now TV3 has "All New Ice Road Truckers" it gets missed unless I enter have that as a recurring recording as well.
If I can select that I want to record all shows that CONTAIN the text "Ice Road Truckers" then all of the shows could be picked up.
Currently if a tuner is in use in another program and npvr tries to use that tuner it records a 0 byte file. Could it instead realize the tuner is in use, not record a 0B file and look for a repeat of the program and record it?
Hi all,
recently I moved over from GBPVR to NPVR. I waited until I had a new old system to install it on, to not have downtime. This is crucial for the W.A.F.
Everything went smooth, including installation of 2 x PVR150MCE and 1 x PVR350, and 3 Hauppauge MediaMVP clients. My setup is all analog and this is all fine.
By a scheduled task in windows every night an XML file is composed with WebGrab+. But this file is not automatically imported in NPVR, even thought the most recent location of that xml file can be found in the config file, and the checkbox at the misc tab is turned on.
I came across the script folder when I started researching this problem. However, I think the EPG update.bat file is only needed if you want NPVR to initiate an XML update prior to importing EPG data, right? I don't need this.
The only way to get my tvguide filled is to manualy hit EPG update on the Channels tab in settings. Then it works, although I get a lot off errors and question marks in the data.
My question: what is the trick to have NPVR automatically import my guide.xml?
I've configured NEWA and have access through all of my devices on my LAN. When I try to connect from outside my LAN I'm able to pull up the NEWA page with the guide. However I'm unable to stream. The VLC window comes up but the stream never starts. I have the port configured on my router and have checked off the webserver box in the NextPVr set up. What am I missing? Thanks!
Is there any interest in having imageGrabLite special case the current season of 24? From the outset it has been a problem since tvdb.com didn't match the episode name with Fox. That is fixed and now the biggest problem is the use of colons and the name itself. I think the name that matches XBMC/Plex best is simply
I recently updated NPVR to 3.2.9 (from 2.4.something) any my PCH stopped playing videos. Then menus work fine, but when I play a video the screen goes blank for a few seconds then it goes back to the menu. Yesterday I downloaded and installed the latest NMTInstall2.exe but the problem remained.
I'm running Windows 8.1 and my PCH is an A-100. Everything has worked flawlessly until the update. I've attached the mvp.log.1 and I can grab other logs later today if they will help.
I've installed the Movies plugin after getting metadata from Media Companion. The Movies menu item appears and it appears to have done its work. The problem is that when I try and open the Menu Movies, I get an error message which basically says it can't find the output.xml file. I can see the output.xml file, right where it's supposed to be (users/public/npvr/plugins/movies/user.xml) and it appears to have the necessary info in it. What's the problem. The only variable that occurs to me is that the Movie files are on my server and the Movies plugin and xml files are on my client Win7 machine which works fine in all other aspects (they're connected by Cat5). Everything looks to be properly set up...it just isn't working. Any thoughts?
New to NPVR. Setup with Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1600 under Windows 7. NPVR sees the card and can get the channels. I don't have a EPG service and the over-the-air EPG seems to only pick up titles for a couple of channels. Anyway, I'm trying to setup some recurring programs and I can choose them in the TV Guide based on their times and channels, but when I save them I don't see a way to edit the program title "(no show details)". I can set the recurring recording (I set hour-long recordings to 30 minutes of ending buffer because it assumes all recordings are 30 minutes), but the shows don't show up in the pending recordings list and do not record. Live TV works fine. I've tried to attach my logs here.
