I'm eager to jump in on this but don't yet have a Samsung TV, so,,,,
The "E" series are still around as well as the "F".
I see the "F" boasting dual core but should I hold out for the 2014 models ("G"?)?
I'd like something 40~60".
Wut say U?
That said:
Is PIP available using this app?
Currently I use EventGhost for remote management of all NPVR keyboard commands, what are my config options concerning the remote with this app?
This is The direction, help me join you there, please.
I cannot get any channels to show up on my xbmc atv1. My backend is whs 03 running nextpvr3.1.1 (fresh install no upgrade), my tuner is HDHome run plus. I did connect the atv1 to server and i am no longer getting any errors saying unable to connect to pvr client. one thing i have noticed is that nrecord.exe is not running in my processes. When i go to C/programfiles/npvr i cannot find the nrecord.exe file. I have also disabled all firewalls, i can remote access the newa page by typing in the ip into my web browser. any help would be great.
Edit: I did scan all channels in nextpvr and see them with no problems. updated the EPG too.
Edit 2: got channels to show finally after a few more restarts but buffering is extremely slow any tips?
I've been using NPVR for a few weeks now, with XBMC as a frontend. After a few teething problems, everything is now working great.
One thing I don't really like is the quality of seeking with recorded TS files, it's just not the best, so i decided to try and use the post processing to transcode to MP4. This also had the added benefit of allowing me to remove any tracks with audio description and obviously the file size is much smaller, giving much more space for recordings.
I couldn't really find anything that did exactly what I needed though, so I wrote my own frontend for HandbrakeCli called Easy Video Transcoder. The main features of EVT is that you can set up different encoding options depending on the input video resolution and pick out a preferred audio track to use based on the track name etc. For my own use, I set up a "Recorded TV" profile with different bitrates and preferred audio tracks for SD and HD recordings. When NPVR starts the post processing, EVT parses the input file and automatically detects which settings to use.
EVT can also be used as a standalone app for quick batch transcoding without messing about with settings for individual files. For example, once the profile is configured you could easily add hundreds of files to the queue in seconds instead of messing around for ages with settings.
It's been working really well for me, so I thought I'd share it. If you want to check it out, you can see more information and grab the file here.
Feel free to get in touch with suggestions or let me know about any bugs.
So I've tried searching for something like this but I can't find it.
I would like to use the 2650 on my hyper-v machine. I know that it creates a virtual network so adding it to a virtual machine over that shouldn't be too difficult. My question is will NextPVR even recognize it in that form? There will be no usb to configure but I'm hoping that it would just be detected as a network tuner. Has anyone tried something like this and if you have, how well did it work?
Until recently I've been having trouble getting a strong enough signal for consistently clear recordings, and I finally bought a decent antenna. I now have a Winegard HD7694P on the roof at maybe about 18' high, a 50' cable going inside to a cheap RCA 4-port splitter/amp with 10db gain from Lowes. Two of those ports are connected to two Hauppauge HVR-2250 tuners in my HTPC and a third directly to my TV, the fourth is unused. Using the signal strength monitor tool from Hauppauge I get a full strength 30db signal from all of my important stations, and the signal strength indicator on the TV (Samsung HLR5667W) shows most channels at or just below full strength. I can watch any channel and have a perfectly clear picture either through NextPVR or directly on the TV. But when I have multiple recordings scheduled simultaneously the resulting videos are very often corrupt and unwatchable. For example there are 4 simultaneous recordings every weeknight and morning. A single recording from one tuner with no others at the same time will come out clear. Does the HVR-2250 lose some signal strength when both tuners are being used at the same time? Or is it the amp/splitter? It's been my understanding that any one tuner or device should have no effect on the others. I'm not quite sure how to diagnose this issue, what should I do/how should I test this?
Hello guys,
I have really a strange problem. I want to run a mediaserver with NextPVR. I installed the programm on the server under Windows 7 and made configurations. Then I installed XBMC on the client including the NextPVR addon on a second computer (Vista). As a first test I tried to establish a LAN connection. I configure the Windows Firewall. I enter the LAN IP in the addon of the client. Everything works fine. LiveTV works in XBMC. Then i tried to connect the client via Internet. I get a DynDNS for my router IP and enter this in the Addon (I also tried the IP of the router). I configure Portforwarding in the Router for port 8866. I checked allow Remote control in NextPVR settings (otherwise nothing works...no connection to the server). Entered a Username and Password for Web Login. When i try to connect to the server via XBMC addon client nothing happens. After a long time of waiting there was a message "Tuner is not longer connected", althoug all EPG data was loaded before and I can decide a channel. Because I saw in many posts that this could be a security settings problem. I switched temporarily the firewall on the router and on both computers, client and server, off, but the behaviour is the same. It seems that the client could not start the tuner via web? I also tried X-NEWA addon for XBMC to get access to LiveTV via web, but it is the same thing. The EPG Data is loaded, but LiveTV could not be started. A last try was to use VLC, to enter a Stream manually, but again no live TV stream, althoug i could see from the VLC logs, that a connection was established. It says NextPVR ist forbidden. I hope anybody has an idea. I sit the whole day to solve this, but no success. If you need any data for analysis, fell free to ask.
Martin, thank you for the time you have put into XNEWA and the time that you spend supporting it. This past weekend I installed a Linux distro on my GBOX Midnight MX2, using Gotham Beta ,and have been using XNEWA exclusively as my frontend to nPVR. I am using the Chameleon version with path substitutions. I have a few questions.
I would like to be able to timeshift live tv (rewind to previous parts of the video as well as fast forward from rewinding or ff to catch up to current time if the video was paused). At the moment, when I press rewind, I see the OSD say that it's rewinding but the video continues to move forward with no sound. If I increase the rew multiplier I am able to get back in time a bit, but when I press play the video is paused but I can hear the audio playing. I have similar problems when fast forwarding, but it usually ends up with a frozen picture and no audio. I usually reboot the machine but perhaps it would timeout if I were patient enough to wait. I am using 'Native' as my streaming option. Should I be using something else? I did try Timeshift but it just says 'Please wait - Loading 5%' and hangs. When I go to the nPVR server I get a message saying it can't find VLC. I do have VLC installed on the server but perhaps at a different path.
When playing a recording that is actively being recorded, I can fast forward/rewind just fine. I did notice that I cannot fast forward beyond the time I started watching. For example, I started watching the news (30 minute program) after it had been recording for 15 minutes. I watched portions and fast forwarded through commercials. I was in a commercial break but was not able to fast forward through it beyond the 15 minute mark despite the program being recorded for an additional 10 minutes. I had hoped that I could fast forward all the way to the live part, but I was not able to do this. Am I doing something wrong?
When selecting a program from the Tv Guide, I sometimes stay on the Tv Guide rather than go full screen video. This doesn't happen often, but I'm not sure how I get to the full screen video. I've escaped out all the way to the XBMC gui and the video plays fine, but when I stop I have to launch XNEWA again. Is there an easy keypress to go from Tv Guide to full screen? I read your Newbies post and saw '- returning while video is playing in the EPG will continue" .. I'm not sure what that means or how this is done.
I'd like to make the default action be 'Watch' rather than 'Close' on all the dialog boxes. I haven't looked at the code for XNEWA, but is this just a matter of me editing a python program to reorder the options or is it not easy for me to change?
Not XNEWA specific question. With SageTv, I was able to run comskip parallel to recordings (both live and scheduled) and have those edls available for use even while they were being appended to. Do you know if this is possible with XBMC/XNEWA or is the edl loaded once at the start of playback?
I have a cablecard tuner (HDHomeRun Prime). My cable provider recently moved some channels. The virtual channel numbers did not change, but physical channel and program did. NPVR didn't know this happened and was getting no data, because it programs the tuner with physical channel and program. I had to re-scan to get the changes.
According to SiliconDust:
<http://www.silicondust.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=16338&p=95930&hilit=virtual+channel#p95930>
"The proper way to tune CableCARD channels is by telling the tuner what virtual channel number you want, and letting the tuner figure out how to tune it."
I am currently playing with using Serviio to play a live stream from NextPVR for transcoding live TV from an original HdHomerun Dual ATSC tuner.
ex....http://192.168.0.105:8866/live?channel=27
I need the transcoding for 2 tv's in the house still running old school Xbox's. It works like a champ, but does not seem to support using both tuners at once by way of http streaming. It does seem to work using both tuners if one tuner is using the http stream and the other is being used by the NextPVR window on the PC. Am I missing a setting or is tuner availibility limited to only one tuner using the http streaming method?
