I am having a really odd occurrence with NVPR over the past few days.
I leave my PC running in sleep mode 24/7, it normally wakes up to record and then goes back to sleep.
Since trying to re tune my FreeSat channels I find the PC running in the middle of the night and will not sleep because NVPR is recording, but not anything I requested.
When I open device status one channel on the Satellite tuner card is recording two 'null.ts'
it looks like this
TBS 6981 DBA DVBS/S2 A Tuner /Demod:1 (device name)
Recording: c:\devxxxxxx\null.ts
Recording: c:\devxxxxxx\null.ts

I have searched for c:\devxxxxxx\ which of course does not exist
I have deleted all scheduled and recurring recordings.
I have reinstalled v3.1.1 over the top of the existing installation, but non of these things have solved the problem!
The only way to put the PC back to sleep is manually stop the recording service and then restart it or force the PC to shut down and restart.
Is there any way to flush all the recording schedules and settings.
Or has anyone got a solution to this problem?
I really do not want to uninstall NVPR and do a clean install as even this might not work if I cannot get all the links and references deleted in the registry.
Can anyone help please??

Many thanks
Bob

So my cheapie K-world tuner from Maplin has served me very well indeed, but I wouldnt mind having HD support... I'm paying for it in my TV license so why not enjoy it!

Does anybody have a model they would recommend?

USB would be my preference - I think my HP Microserver has a spare PCIE slot, but it's a bit crowded in there! That said, if people were raving about an internal card I could live with it

An aside - if I was to change my tuner, what will happen to the scheduled recordings? Also, is there an easy way for me to update any recordings scheduled for say BBC1 to BBC1 HD? Sounds like a SQL command would do the trick?

Thanks in advance!

Apologies of this has been asked before - I did search

Hello,

I'm new to nextpvr and I've been debugging on the setup for a few hours now and have not seen anything similar to what I'm experiencing.

My specs:

AMD A10
8GB RAM
Windows 8
nextpvr 3.1.1
Tuner: Hauppage 950q

I'm able to install the program, tuner recognized and tuner also detects signals when I scan. In the next step where I am to set up the decoders, the window just hangs. Inn the Decoders settings all I see is
EVR
Default (Recommended)
Default (Recommended)

and nothing else. I've update the .NET Framework to 4.5.1, Included dx9 runtime, added .NET Framework 3.5 also.. nothing has seemed to work.

Attaching my logs. If anybody can help out, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Hi. I just installed NPVR today, and have been playing around with it much of the day. I have a Win7 64-bit system based on the ASRock H61M/U3S3 mobo, 8G RAM, AMD HD6850 video card, and core i3-2100 CPU. So, not the latest-greatest PC, but a pretty capable machine, usually. I have played a wide variety of 3d games on it, and it has always worked well for me, so performance has not usually been a problem for me.

So, anyhow, I believe that video card is supposed to have a built-in hardware-accelerated MPEG and H.264 decoder? In NPVR, one of the available decoders for those two codecs, is "AMD Decoder". I tried that, and at first it seemed to be working fine, but whenever I would try to jump forward or backward in the timeline of the video, there would seem to be a long delay before the video would start playing, and it would start playing in the wrong place, and run super fast until it caught up, then sometimes it slows way down and doesn't keep up with the audio, and then the playback eventually hangs. When this happens, pausing, waiting a few seconds, and unpausing, SOMETIMES gets playback to resume at the point I paused, at normal speed and in sync with audio. Sometimes, I had to close NPVR and restart it.

I have a number of other codecs available on my PC, including Microsoft, Cyberlink PowerDVD, AverMedia (must have been installed by my TV tuner card when I installed drivers) - and all those seem to work fine and not have the same problem.

I find it rather surprising that, apparently, software decoders are performing much better than the hardware decoder (at least, if that AMD Decoder is actually supposed to be the hardware decoder on my GPU). Has anyone else run into problems with the AMD Decoder?

Simple question. Multiple answers allowed

I have been having problems trying to tune my TBS 6981 BDA DVBS/S2 satellite tuner card into any of the Astra 28.2 2F channels.
I lost ITV1 HD when they changed transponders and after a lot of digging on the internet I managed to find enough pieces of information to manually tune it back in again by modifying a channels-DVBS.xml file and importing it.
But now I would like to get the other channels back that have gone missing!
When I scan 'FreeSat Only' or 'Eurobird' on 28.2, NVPR does not find any of the 2f channels. Do I need to change some setting in the scan box I am using the 'None' single LNB setting?
The current settings that come as standard are LOF 1: 9750 LOF Switch: 11700 LOF 2:10600
Do I need to change these or is there something else I can do?

Thanks in advance for your ideas.

Bob

Hi Guy's,

Using nightly gotham builds, updating daily. Addon shows 1.95. which I know is 1.96. Running windows 8.1. When I select a program in the guide to record in xbmc, dialog asks yes or no to record I select yes, but nothing happens. If i exit xvmc and go to nextpvr I can set the recording ok. When I re enter xbmc it shows a recording is scheduled.

Thanks Phil

Comskip works if I record an analog show, but with HD it doesn't. I read on the comskip site it won't unless you donate. I'm totally willing to donate to comskip if I know for sure it works, anyone else have it up and running?

Thanks!

First, thanks for NEWA. It is wonderful. I'm wondering if there is a way that the login could be skipped for a list of trusted ip addresses and/or ips on the local network of the NEWA server?

Hello All,

So this is the setup
Windows 7 with no other software loaded on it accept for NextPVR

I have 2 capture cards in this machine both USB capture devices
TV Wonder 750USB
Hauppauge WINTV HVR-950

Now when I open NextPVR it says "Unable to find available capture device" error

So I go to settings > devices

I can see both cards and they are both set to use fixed-channel 3, and I tuned the TV Wonder to use channel 4 in "Live TV" and the Hauppauge to use channel 8.

When I go to "Live TV" I can go to channel 4 and it works but I get the "Unable to find available capture device" error when I go to channel 8.

I then loaded Total Media app on to the machine and it can view the Hauppauge so my question is what am i doing wrong?
