I recently acquired a movie in the img format and NPVR won't play it although VLC will. Am I doing something wrong or is this format not supported by NPVR abd SAF6? Is there a workaround way to play these files in NPVR?
Having just changed recordings drive by export, edit recordings backup file drive letter, move recordings, import recordings file I realise (just too late) that the coloured flags for users use get lost as they aren't in the backup file.
I realise what I have done is not an everyday job, but a backup should be a backup in theory. ??
edit: [arrgh, got it. too simple].

I am running 3.2.9 and just now had to switch to a set-top box for tuner, they moved from analog to digital in my area.
I have played with this for a while and I don't see any way yet to pull my channel lineup from schedules direct but inform NextPVR that I had a STB/ blaster, and that STB is sending on channel 3. I have the blaster exe configured on the device setup page, but do not see a place to set it to use fixed channel 3 like I do in WinTV.
What is the walkthru for this process? I had this working on GBPVR years ago, but haven't needed it for ages.
I have to confess, Live TV has never really worked properly for me. It always tunes to the channel, but after what appears to be a multiple of 7 minutes (7, 14, 21, etc, randomly) the image will freeze and I have to hit stop and start playback over again.
It seems now however (coincidentally since upgrading to 3.2.9, but I can't definitively say that is the cause) that Live TV does not work at all. If I attempt to hit either Live TV, or pick Watch from the TV Guide, the client will simple say "...Please wait..." and just sit there until I eventually have to kill the task.
This only happens with Live TV. If I chose to Record the show, I can go into the Recordings and watch the show from there.
I've been using an 8 Gb RAM disk as my Live TV buffer (permissions are set to grant Everyone Full Access), but decided to switch that to a temp folder on the hard disk (C:\Temp, also Everyone with Full Access) to see if that was the cause, but the issue is the same.
I don't really know how else to go about debugging it so I thought I would post here and see if anyone might have some insight into what the issue may be.
The capture device is a Hauppauge HD-PVR, and here are all of the log entries from NRecord on the server. I noticed a bunch of "File length is still zero." entries, so I suspect this is where the problem is.
Here are the log entries:

If <AutoRemoveMissingRecordings> is true, when will the removal take place? I moving stuff around and exporting/editing/importing and the old entries are still in the database - when or what starts the cleanup running?
I have been using NPVR for about a month with no issues.
I just re-installed my OS (Windows 7 Ultimate), re-installed NPVR and suddenly I am having issues with the audio when watching Live TV. After about 10 minutes the audio goes out of sync and then after that goes on about 15 minutes, the picture freezes/pixelates then it starts playing again but now the audio is back in sync. After another 5 or 10 minutes, same thing happens with the audio going slowly out of sync.
This is not an issue if I record a show then watch it later. It only happens with live TV. I have uninstalled the program and re-installed it twice but the same issue keeps happening. I downloaded the patches in the sticky thread even though they didn't say anything about my issue to see if that would handle but it did not.
I finally uninstalled it completely and downloaded MediaPortal to see if it is an issue with my system. I have not had any issues with MP using Live TV.
I prefer to use NPVR as I am an MB3 user and I use the plugin for Live TV as well and I find NPVR is less resource intensive than MP.
I have had NRecord crashes several times after installing 3.2.9. I have also installed BitDefender AV+. The last time this occurred I was not able to see any information in the NPVR logs. Below are the entries from the Windows log:
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

An unhandled exception occurred and the process was terminated.
I've been having spdif audio sync issues and even playback issues with my Colossus.
I've got an I7 with at least 8 GB of RAM, using LAV decoders and on some channels and worse on a particular program where the audio is almost always out of sync. I'm on rogers using a SA4642 digital box recording in 1080i. I've tried watching the channel, but different show and it doesn't seem to have any audio sync issues at that time.
I've tried different decoders but still no luck.
I've since switched to analog audio and it hasn't had a problem for a few days.
I remember someone talking about the audio changing between different channels. I was wondering if that had anything to do with it.
Has anyone else had this problem and solved it? Are most people on Rogers in Canada using analog or digital audio?
In Ready Recordings, whenever I ESC back from browsing a recording, it always resumes focus on the first show in my list of recordings rather than the show that I had highlighted before pressing enter. So if I have scrolled down to Jools Holland, pressed enter to view the shows, when I press ESC, it is highlighting Aardvarks - A natural history. (to illustrate my point).
