After the player downloads the app, it thinks for about 30 seconds and then displays the message: "Failed to install. For more information, visit http://www.samsungdforum.com/Support/TVAppsSecurity". That page doesn't tell me anything that helps me.
I have a fullsized TV antenna on the roof (takes me back to the 70's) hooked up to two HDHR's.
About 1/3 of the shows recorded on NPVR will freeze up with any comskip jump or skip from a button press.
The same shows are recording on SageTV simultaneously and playback flawlessly (on a HD200 box).
I understand that .ts is a crappy container for video playback, especially when it comes to skipping ahead and back.
What does SageTV do that NPVR doesn't? Transcoding on the fly?
I have had success with a few of the bad files by transcoding them into mp4 and back out again immediately. ie.
ffmpeg.exe -i npvr.ts -acodec copy -vcodec copy npvr.mp4
rename npvr.ts npvr.ts.old
ffmpeg.exe -i npvr.mp4 -acodec copy -vcodec copy npvr.ts
It's nice because it takes less than ten minutes each way because there's no transcoding but I wouldn't be able to watch the shows for at least 20 mins after recording ends.
What's the best solution for this problem? Will it just go away if I buy Hauppauge tuners?
If I don't get the WAF up, we'll go back to Comcast when SageTV finally dies. (insert vomiting emoticon here)
I have been working on a program to retrieve season and episode data (using tvrage.com instead) and incorporate it into the npvr.db3 database. It was all set to go live when you announced the new version.
Is that function going to be included now through thetvdb.com metadata?
How is the metadata going to be used?
Will it be accessible to us (like schedulesdirect xml)?
I checked the new check boxes but don't get any of the pictures or metadata shown in the announcement thread in videos or recorded tv.
Mostly, I don't want to waste time duplicating new features.
I am trying to transition from SageTV since it has an uncertain future but there are several WAF issues to overcome first.
So the HD BBC channels in my guide have started to show Huffman 0x... in place of the program names. I've tried changing them to XMLTV and to the Freesat EPG but they are all completely unusable, though they retain the correct time spots. Has anyone seen this before? This looks like some kind of text decompressing error but I don't know why it just started happening. It was not related to the upgrade to the latest version because I did this to see if the Freesat option could help.
Noticed the displayed time in pending recordings is 1 hour out now we have switched to Summer Time. i.e. displays 0800 instead of 0900.
Haven't had chance to check times elsewhere. But to play safe, we are now just viewing with the app as not sure that scheduling will be correct.
Just reinstalled Windows 7, and so got a brand new installation of NPVR. I configured NPVR to record from my HDPVR 2, but it only records at ~8MB/s video and 192kb/s aac audio.
How can I change the video bitrate (most importantly), and the audio bitrate?
I have IPTV working well, except for multi-record, which I have posted in the IPTV and multiple tuners thread. However, my provider supplies a few channels as RTP rather than UDP IPTV channels. These do not display audio or video. They are also mpg2-ts, rather than h264-ts files. Has anyone gotten RTP channels to successfully work? My log is attached that shows an attempt to record an rtp channel. Kelly M.
Great new release Sub! I don't know if this is related to this release, and it's a real minor issue, but today I disabled one of my tuners (channels still present, first tuner in the list), and it still got selected for a recording. I noticed it because I removed the signal cable from that specific tuner, so the recording failed.
In the ndigitalhost log I see this line:
Code:

Sorry to be bothering you with another problem, but I can't get the WOL feature to work in X-Newa either from my Win7 clients or from OpenElec.
I'm currently testing from my personal PC. I use WOL with my NPVR machine all the time.
I've attached a screenshot of the X-Newa settings.
I've tried the MAC address both with and without colons.
I've done a wireshark capture, and nothing seems to be sent when I try to start X-Newa with WOL enabled.
From the same PC I run this command with a bat file on my desktop: wolcmd 002219134A43 10.0.0.255 255.255.255.0
and that wakes the server every time, and I see the packet in Wireshark.
Firewall is disabled.
Here's a debug log: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hpbf66oalgmgi3f/xbmc.log
(X-Newa refuses to load for a while, and then eventually loads after I wake the remote PC with my bat file.)
That log is probably a bit messy due to the PVR client being active and me clicking too many times - I can get a cleaner one at some point but shows are recording now so I can't put my NPVR machine to sleep.
