I created a postprocessing.bat file and put the single command in the file as follows:
"C:\Program Files\NPVR\imageGrabLite.exe" --oid %3 --rename
However, after a recording finishes, nothing happens.
So I tried running the command from the command line and I get the following error:
C:\Program Files\NPVR>imagegrablite --oid %3 --rename
Unhandled Exception: System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.
at System.Number.StringToNumber(String str, NumberStyles options, NumberBuffer& number, NumberFormatInfo info, Boolean parseDecimal)
at System.Number.ParseInt32(String s, NumberStyles style, NumberFormatInfo info)
at System.Convert.ToInt32(String value)
at imageGrab.Program.Main(String[] args)
Can anyone please help me work out what is going wrong?
My path setups are pretty standard and it is a 32bit windows pc.
One useful feature I wish for would be to be able to specify a 'prefered' tuner for some recording.
as not all tuner handle transmission errors the same.
I am running IGL manually to catch up on a few shows, and for "The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That!" it is not naming the files by season, but instead by date. Here's my log. Also, the nfo option doesnt work after rename and subtitle.

NPVR add on 1.9.6, XBMC Gotham, RaspberryPi. Symptoms in both OpenELEC and RaspBMC.
Everything works in Windows 7 Ultimate x86 Gotham.
Everything works in Frodo on Raspberry Pi.
On RPI Gotham channels download from server.
When I try to tune to a station I get a "the tuner is no longer available" pop up and a "buffering 0%" pop up. Nether pop up will clear without a reboot.
I have applied the "3.1.1 Patches R1a" to the server.
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?
