I just upgraded to version 3.2.9 which brought back the IPTV device (Why would you ever remove it in the first place:p)
ALL my tv channels for the purpose of these platforms are IPTV
When I click on liveTV I get the a black screen, it seems to be streaming, but I get the black screen (no need to mention that the channels work just fine if I open them in a browser).
When I added the channels I used the http option.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? Thank you in advance
I tried searching, but couldn't find an answer to my exact question, so here goes:
system: win7 64 bit., npvr + xbmc frodo
I have IGL running perfectly, it runs in postprocessing and renames the files which get their correct info loaded in XBMC. I have decided to run comskip, but i'm not sure when to run it.
If I run it in parallelprocessing, won't it create the edl/txt file with the old name, which won't match when IGL renames it, therefore not being picked up by XBMC?
If i run it in postprocessing, after IGL, will the %1 variable that I pass to it work, since the file has since been renamed to what IGL names it?
If there's already a proven way to do this, i would appreciate a link.
I keep getting connection NPVR PVR client connection lost message on my RPi and my W* laptop. I've had the problem since I applied the R1 patches and was hoping this new Npvr version would fix it but no luck. What logs would you need to see?
I upgraded to 3.2.9 last night. This morning I watched a few shows and everything seemed to be working ok. Then this afternoon I discovered that the NRecord.exe process/service wasn't running. Looking at the logs (in logs.zip attachment), it appears that it had just started a recording on my DCR-2605 and then died silently. Looking in the recordings directory, it created a 0 byte file. I restarted the service and it immediately tried to begin another recording on the DCR-2605 and again died the same way (NRecord.zip).
I needed a way to get the show images from the server in a Win 8 metro app on a client machine. Nothing I tried worked (seriously walled garden) so I looked into using public/Download.ashx but I would get a E_NETWORK_ERROR in my app because of the way the response/content-type was being written from the web service.
I changed "case FanArt:" to work the way I needed it. Images are now displayed inline in IE instead of being downloaded and displayed in a separate app.
Code:
case (int)InternalFiles.FanArt:
/*
Can be used to download any image.
Supports the following variables (trailing backslash not required):
[[DataDir]] = NPVR data directory.
[[MediaDir]] = NPVR data directory + "Media\\"
[[MediaShowsDir]] = NPVR data directory + "Media\\Shows\\"
Notes:
DO NOT INCLUDE FILE EXTENSIONS... the request will automatically check for ".png" then for ".jpg".
Filenames should already be parsed to remove invalid filename characters and trimmed.
If no image is found, it will return "no_album_art.jpg".
Example:
// Download the image for the show "2 Broke Girls *" from Media\Shows:
{
string showName = "2 Broke Girls *";
string url = @"http://localhost:8866/public/download.ashx/-11,1?[[MediaShowsDir]]" + string.Join(string.Empty, rName.Split(System.IO.Path.GetInvalidFileNameChars())).Trim();
// Download the image from "url"
}
*/
fileName = path.Replace("[[DataDir]]", SettingsHelper.GetInstance().GetDataDirectory());
fileName = fileName.Replace("[[MediaDir]]", SettingsHelper.GetInstance().GetDataDirectory() + "Media\\");
fileName = fileName.Replace("[[MediaShowsDir]]", SettingsHelper.GetInstance().GetDataDirectory() + "Media\\Shows\\");
if (File.Exists(fileName + ".png"))
{
fileName += ".png";
Response.ContentType = "image/png";
}
else
{
if (File.Exists(fileName + ".jpg"))
fileName += ".jpg";
else
fileName = SettingsHelper.GetInstance().GetDataDirectory() + "web\\themes2\\common\\graphics\\no_album_art.jpg";
Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg";
}
Image fanArtImg = new Bitmap(fileName);
ImageConverter fanArtConverter = new ImageConverter();
Response.BinaryWrite((byte[])fanArtConverter.ConvertTo(fanArtImg, typeof(byte[])));
Response.End();
fanArtImg.Dispose();
seekable = false;
break;
I have a fine picture, but cannot get sound.
I am an utter newbie â despite being an âolderâ gentleman.
Can someone help? I tried searching in the forums â could not come up with an answer. Thanks!
⢠Tuner â Avermedia / AverTV Hybrid TV Volar Max. I bought this a long time ago, and have been using it with MediaCenter with no problems. So I assume I have all the drivers / etc. on this machine. I want to move to Windows 8, and thought NextPVR looked like a better bet than MediaCenter.
⢠PC â Windows 7.
⢠TV Signal â over the air digital.
⢠Next DVR â latest version: 3.2.9.
Problem. I get a fine picture â after finally figuring out to set the Video Decoder to AVerMedia!
But I cannot get sound, no matter what option I choose. It also records fine, but no sound on live TV.
And I really do not understand the sound options on over the air digital. What am I doing wrong? And a pointer to a tutorial on all of this would be nice too.
Getting exception after upgrade to 3.2.9. I've rebooted the machine and still have a problem. Is 8968 a new port? I have not touched the FW in months. I do however have HDHomeRun, not sure if that is a factor.

I have installed Haup Wintv v3.2 and can see the satellite channel in WinTV
I see the card in NPVR device settings
I added the channels via xmltv file and had s-video selected
However, when I try liveTV, I just get blank screen. Read about SoftTV but not sure if anything needed beyond running Haup install?
I also tried to play some GBPVR recordings (mpg) and they do not play (acts like empty file)
I've been using NPVR for over a year now and love it. One thing that has been nagging me is that I have erratic results with the nightly OTA EPG update. I'll usually only see 2-3 channels populated. Yet, if I use the manual update button it consistently grabs all channels' data.
I notice when I perform the manual update that it counts down 60secs for each station -- not sure if that is relevant to my issue. I only have 8 stations mapped so I do not think this is a time-out/sleep issue since hibernate is set to 30mins. Also under 'Misc' I have checked the box to permit updates during live tv -- although at that scheduled time it should not matter.
I changed my BBC Freesat channel EPG options from XMLTV using Digiguide to the new Freesat option as per the release notes "added a new 'Freesat (UK)' EPG option, which tells that app to use the existing DVB EPG functionality, but only from the Freesat EPG transponder (cutting down the time to fetch the EPG)" but failed to download the EPG information after running an update.
Can somebody please explain how to make this option work.
