Is is possible to rename recording folders based on the Genre (as per the epg xmltv data)?
I am looking for a way to separate out recorded TV Movies from other recordings - is there a method to have the recording folders organized by Genre or include the Genre in the individual folder name?
e.g.
Recorded TV\Movies\Movie1\Movie1.ts
or
Recorded TV\Movie1(Movies)\Movie.ts
Can't find this anywhere else, but I can't get NextPVR to recognize any channels with an HDHomerun HDHR3-US. I can get the HDHomerun SW to recognize channels, as well as Windows Media Center. I've opened the firewall to the three .exe's needed, but still no luck. Any help? I'd really like to use NextPVR with XBMC.
If this is elsewhere on the forums, sorry, I searched but couldn't find it.
Trying to scan for QAM cable channels from Charter Cable.
I (finally) upgraded to NPVR from GBPVR. Comcast now encrypting Basic, so I got an HD Homerun Prime with cablecard. Running on XP box.
During a long recording (NASCAR in this case), I try initiating playback form the recording menu. It shows recording in progress, and the TS file is growing in size. It does play, but the end time stays at 0 and the position time increases. The impact of this is I cannot skip forward to move past commercials etc. I can only watch in "real time", delayed by however much the show has progressed.
In GBPVR I could watch simultaneously, picking up maybe a half hour after the show begins but watching while the recording continues.
Logs attached. Comskip running in Parallel batch file, latest version of Comskip.
Any thoughts? Did not find anything on this on a brief search.
I've lost a channel (ITV HD) from my DVB-S tuner within NextPVR and I'm trying to get it back. When I tell NextPVR to re-scan, it doesn't find the channel anymore.
The channel used to be "10832 H" but now its "11907 V".
However, the channel still works on my plasma TV (that uses the same satellite dish) - the signal is:
I happened to stumble upon a Hauppauge HD PVR at a pawn shop, so I snatched it up and I've been playing with it all day. NPVR is my capture software of choice.
I quickly discovered you could stream what you capture using NPVR over your network live using NEWA. Pretty neat. Only problem was that it was designed to be used with a channel listing from what you would get through a TV tuner. I only have an analog device, so there is no channel database for me, and there's no way to click "Watch Live" for whatever it is I'm capturing.
So I did some poking and prodding and found out you could make a fake channel listing that will show up in NEWA! Now I can watch what I'm capturing live!
INSTRUCTIONS:
Just copy the code at the bottom of this post and put it in a file, say, fakechannel.xml
Then go into settings, to channels, click the channel you want to have the fake listing and press Details.
Change the source to XMLTV and browse for your .xml file that you copied from here.
Adjust the "mapping" dropdown to the channel that you want to have the fake listing.
All done! It shows up in TV listings and it shows up on NEWA. You can watch it live with the VLC plugin. Fantastic.
Couple of notes:
--You can play with the XML file to have it say whatever you want. Mine was component video on channel 1 so that's what I put in the descriptions.
--A lot of the crap in this file is probably frivolous, but I didn't care much to test it because it worked.
--As written, it expires in 2065 so mark your calendar to update the .xml file then.
I posted this here just in case it's helpful to someone somewhere--I didn't come up with anything on my search of the forum. Maybe I'm not the only one!
Perhaps in a future version the web interface can handle analog "channels," but this stopgap is pretty easy. I hope someone out there enjoys this advice.
I have tried both GBPVR and NextPVR and neither will find any of Suddenlink QAM Channels. I tried Windows Media Center and it finds them all but can not get Channel Guide for my area. I need someway to get PVR to use the channels the Windows found or to find them using PVR anyone have any suggestions? I dont mind if it takes a bit of work I just need to get it finished or I might have to go back to a standard DVR and I would really miss the extra functions of this superior software. Thanks in advance.
I'm trying to set up an analog device on the most recent release of nPVR using the SoftPVR.bat on a new Win 8.1 setup. When I run the batch file, I get the error below (copied from my command prompt):
Code:
C:\Users\Dan\Downloads\SoftPVR>softpvr.bat
********************************************************
SoftPVR installer for Analog devices. (32 OR 64 bit OS)
********************************************************
Success: Administrative permissions confirmed.
wintv7_cd_3.2.exe
This machine's system dir is "C:\Windows\Syswow64"
And it's software registry section is HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\NPVR
NPVR directory is "C:\Program Files (x86)\NPVR"
Creating Temp folders
Extracting WinTV installer
\NPVRSoftPVR\temp1 was unexpected at this time.
C:\Users\Dan\Downloads\SoftPVR>
It appears to be missing a backslash in the path under "extracting WinTV installer", i.e., it should say \NPVR\SoftPVR\temp1. The batch file did in fact create a \NPVR\SoftPVR\temp1 and temp2 directory. How do I edit the bat file to fix this error (or am I barking up the wrong tree and there is some other issue that is the cause)?
I am going to use a laptop for other purposes 24/7 and thought of how to use it for NPVR also.
Today I have DVB- C: 2 cards Technotrend Budget C-1501+CI and CAM/CI from Cryptoguard in my XP desktop which works fine.
To use Laptop and my PCI cards I would need an external PCI solution connected to laptop.
I found these: PCI Express to 2 PCI & 2 PCIe Expansion Enclosure System
this has 2 PCI and 2 PCIexpress ports (also a version with 4 PCI ports exists)
it is supposed to be connected to an PCI express card in a PC. but you can use this
and I thought of using USB to expresscard / expresscard connector/ PCI expansion enclosure.
Now the question is if this will work with NPVR?
some possible problems I see:
1) it technically does not work so that PCI card is not recognized by laptop ( I chatted with supplier who believedit would work but at USB2 speed.)
2) NPVR does not recognize this kind of solution so card is not used by NVPR.
3) USB2 is to slow for handling the data flow from 2 PCI recording cards when they transfer to harddrive etc. (But there are USB recording devices on the market so maybe there is not need for more than USB2 speed?)
