I really love the Samsung add on. I just upgraded my NPVR and now the TV listing does not work and the recorded shows do not show up. I get the list for the recurring recordings but the rest show 0/0. Please help me with this issue.
It has been a long journey to this point. I started off with MediaPortal and found it frustratingly complicated and I gave up. Then later, for a while, my Windows Media Center was working pretty good. Since then I've had all kinds of Windows problems and had to reinstall the O/S several times. Now even scouring the web, I can find nothing to simply start from scratch except reinstall Windows again (ain't gonna happen). So now I'm trying something else over here with nextPVR and XBMC.
This seems only slightly less painful than MediaPortal so far. When I ran the software and it looked for Devices it came up with the same list as MediaPortal. It shows my primary (mislabeled) as Conexant Polaris BDA Tuner and a secondary as Tuner for Windows Media Center (I have no idea why this is here as I only have the one tuner hardware). So here's the final config:
ATSC Conexant Polaris BDA Tuner 0 Channels
QAM Conexant Poaris BDA Tuner 63 Channels
ATSC Tuner for Windows Media Center 0 Channels
QAM Tuner for Windows Media Center 63 Channels
IPTV IPTV Device 0 Channels
I tried to follow the wiki about adding an analog device, it seems to have gotten me nowhere. I cannot seem to get any channels from the analog side. However, the EPG only has data for the analog channels and the digital channels are not mapped correctly.
So I am still trying to figure out what the magic switch, config, voodoo, etc. is to get analog channels (which Windows Media Center at one time had no problems with). Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
X-NEWA with many improvementsis now available for automatic install if you have followed the instructions here http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post464910 Please follow these steps for installing since I will post update via the repo when needed.
Thanks to sub and UJB for adding a lot of things in support of this release.
General
- Full JSON control for faster processing (3.2.9 only)
- integrated NEWA/NextPVR login for easier and more secure remote access
Web Client (aka Chameleon)
- Music Support integrated with th XBMC music playlist play
- Some support for MB4 (including Random music generation
- Support for direct streaming online radio via Web Radio with OSD
- Exit menu to XBMC
- Improved remote keys, a few mouse keys

X-NEWA Client

If you have problem and you are using 3.1.1 switch to SOAP mode some things may not work, since NEWA is not 100% backwards compatible.
I am using NextPVR for a while now (Windows 8). But I decided to clean up the PC and removed stuff that I didn't need anymore (like other PVR programs).
Now NextPVR (and any other PVR for that matter of fact) doesn't recognize my tuner anymore. I re-installed the drivers a few times, and there are no errors in the device manager.
I re-installed DirectX and ran the filtercheck tool, which I attached.
I think I removed something crucial but not sure what!
Just upgraded and getting socket errors when using XBMC as a client. Get a few seconds of live TV and then tuner not available. Tried a system restore to get back to previous version but still showing 3.2.9 after the reboot for some reason. Captured this before the 'restore', but nothing else to go on at the moment as busy trying to reset everything before I'm shot by the family....

I have a question regarding NextPVR and its recording format. I currently have two NPRV boxes:
1. A virtual machine running Windows 7 and NPVR 3.1.1. (Machine #1)
2. A physical machine running Windows 2012 R2 and NPVR 3.2.9. This box has a Hauppauge HVR-2250 installed internally. (Machine #2)
Both boxes also have a SiliconDust HDHomeRun Dual configured as tuners.
Here is the strange thing -- both machines seem to have identical NPVR settings and when both record a channel (Fox HD), Machine #1 outputs MPEG2 and Machine #2 outputs MP4. I'm not sure why this is exactly and haven't found any differences in the configuration of the two. Any hints on where to look? Also, despite recording the same channel, Machine #1 seems to record the channel in 720P (1280 x 720) format but Machine #2 records in 480 (720 x 480). I'm sure they're both pointing at the same channel as well (Freq 91, SID: 3 according to the device channel setup and the HDHomeRun config). I'm just not sure what I might be doing wrong.
EDIT: Just tried another experiment -- on machine 2, I recorded a show off of another HD channel (PBS) and it correctly recorded in 720P resolution AND as MPEG2. Everything seems to indicate that it has the incorrect mapping for Fox HD, but everything looks identical to the machine which is working.
I'm a total noob at this, so please take it easy on me. If I'm understanding this correctly I can use my android set top box with xbmc using next pvr add on to watch my satellite provider on it. but my question is how and what do I need to set up the server end to make it work? a computer with windows- linux some kind of tuner card for the computer?
