has anyone else been seeing problems with guide data?
when i attempt updates for last 2 days, i only get 3-8 thru 3-21/22 data, even when i specify alternate time start/endings..
only 7 days of usable epg left, starting to get worried...
using mc2xml for years, tried from other machines...
i reset my mc2xml.dat, no change..
i dl'ed new version of mc2xml...no change..

or do they just lose their minds around daylight savings time every year from now on? :confused:
i don't think i've seen a good DST changeover once....fault always lied with TME, not SD or mc2xml or npvr..
i do see a couple users with problems with schedules direct lately.
hoping it gets solved tomorrow..[they rarely have updates on sundays]
My system is set to sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity.
On Thursday, 3-13, there were 3 programs scheduled to record at nominally 2200 with 2 minutes prepadding. I stopped watching a recording and deleted it at about 2152. It looks like the system did some housekeeping and went to sleep at 2157.38, and did not awake for the scheduled recordings. At 2152, NRecord had set a wakeup request for 2156 for the first program and 2158 for the other two.
On 3-14 when the system woke for EPG update, these recordings were marked as "Recording Service not running at recording time".
Event Viewer shows NRecord handled a power event at 2157.38.
It looks like there was a "race" between sleep and wake that was won by sleep.
Is there anything that should have prevented this, or could something be done? Can NPVR get the sleep time setting so sleep can be prevented if a recording is scheduled close to sleep time? Or, somesuch?

I've just started experimenting with a Raspberry Pi XBMC (to replace my aging MPVs).
Just wondered if there's any way to change the order of the recording directories on the top level recordings screen. I would prefer them to be alphabetical but they seem to be arranged by date. (Happy with date order within the directories but it's not very easy to find things in date order when on the top level directory list)
Hi.
Is there a way how to force nPVR to stop video playback when HTPC going to stand by?
My wife often just pause the video playback instead of stoping it, then push stand by button. And when my HTPC resume, there is only black screen.
I am very pleased to find that X-NEWA gives me a very nice transition from my PCH to OpenELEC running on my NUC 2820FYKH, thanks for your efforts on this. It is so good that I would be happy if XBMC booted straight into X-NEWA's NextPVR Web Client.
NextPVR is version 3.1.1 with patches R1a
NEWA is version 2.10
XBMC is 13.0-Beta1 on both my NUC and my Windows PC (but I had the same problem when it was 12.3)
X-NEWA is version 2.1.5
I have a frequent problem with the NextPVR Web Client home screen (emulate.py), and these symptoms happen when running XBMC with X-NEWA on both my Windows 7 Pro machine and on my NUC running OpenELEC. The Windows 7 machine is also running the NextPVR service.
The first problem I notice after restarting everything is that sometimes, but not always, moving between the NextPVR Web Client home screen options with the arrow keys lags by one key press - i.e. the movement corresponds to one key press before the last. If I select an option like "TV Guide" there is absolutely no problem with arrow key navigation around the guide. But then on returning to the home screen the arrow keys often no longer update the screen and I am locked onto one option (which I can sometimes still access OK with the return key).
I took a look at emulate.py and tried a couple of experiments. When it is in this broken state the URL "http://172.21.0.107:8866/control?time=1394789173&key=39&client=XNEWA0x190e05e156L" sometimes still downloads a jpeg and sometimes not, but the simpler "http://172.21.0.107:8866/control?time=1394789173&key=39" always downloads a small sized jpeg corresponding to a right key press on the home screen.
I can let you have some logs if you need more info.
I'm having an odd problem. It seems that I am not always getting my edl files from comskip. I am running comskip in my ParallelProcessing script. I am also using Image Grab Lite with the following parameters: "C:\Program Files\NPVR\imageGrabLite.exe" --oid %3 --rename --nfo
I look in some of my recordings directories and I see files like showname.logo.txt and showname.txt so I'm pretty sure that comskip did at least start running on these files. The program is renamed properly, but I'm not seeing the edl. Is it possible that the program finished recording but comskip was not complete, then Image Grab Lite renamed the file and comskip then aborted? If so, what should I do to remedy this? Can I add a sleep or some other delay in my PostProcessing script?
I noticed in a thread a while back regarding Movies plugin, and installed it. This is the best when used with Media Companion to scrape the media file for info, eye candy, etc..
Am curious why this has not been listed in the Wiki plugin section?
I would like to suggest a display renderer that centers video vertically and horizontally, displaying it at native resolution (no scaling), and if necessary cutting off pixels at the top, bottom, and sides. This might be useful for people who have 1680x1050 monitors, who would rather see the video at full resolution, and are willing to lose a little bit of the image at the top and sides to achieve that.
If the user is using this mode, and hits alt+enter to toggle to windowed mode, then it could automatically switch back to using a scaling renderer to fit the window, then if they go back to full-screen display, switch back to the non-scaled renderer.
I have a monitor with max resolution 1680x1050 (which was a pretty common res when I bought the monitor like 8 years ago, and IIRC, the 1050 is the vertical resolution, which corresponds to the value in HDTV resolutions like 720 or 1080). Of course, modern HDTV is usually 1080i resolution (or sometimes 720p).
Right now, NextPVR shows video on my screen by putting small black bars above and below the video and scaling the video, so that I basically see the whole image, BUT because of scaling, of course, I'm actually losing some resolution.
Is there a video display mode which will just center the image on my monitor both vertically and horizontally, and display it at native resolution, allowing a little bit at the top and sides of the image to be "chopped off" since my screen isn't quite as high resolution as the HD standard, but that means that the remaining pixels do not get scaled at all? I think that would give me the best overall picture quality, since no scaling is being done, wouldn't it? If I use that display mode, will NextPVR, I hope, still record the full resolution, but just chop off the edges as it displays the video on that monitor?
With the current scaling that is happening, is NPVR recording the full native resolution, and just doing the scaling during display? (I think this is the case?)
