I'm using NPVR as the backend for my XBMC frontends. One frontend is on a Raspberry Pi (linux) the other is on a GBOX Midnight MX2 (Android). Last night I had a scheduled recording playing but I could not watch it while recording. I got a 'tuner not available' when trying to tune the station being recorded. I did work around it by using file browser to play the file, but this is not ideal.
Is there a way to watch currently recording programs within the native XBMC nPVR pvr addon? Can I use XNEWA to do this? If so, can someone be so kind as to point me to the working Android version for Frodo? I've tried a few different ones but never could get it to load under Android.
Is there any way to change the default maximum log file size?
I had a problem today with an error saying the TV schedule update was delayed because the Scheduler was busy. The error was repeating every couple of seconds so had filled the log file causing it to roll over...and roll over again....and roll over again....etc.
Result was I can see the error but not the start of the problem because it was long gone from the log. So no idea what the trigger was ...... only the wife complaining she couldn't delete watched recordings
I remember you could change the max log file size in GBPVR but can't see a similar setting in NPVR.
I have plenty of disk space so would like to increase the max size before rollover.
I've started getting error popups from windows interactive services for nrecord. Upon looking at my logs I see a bunch of entries saying:
Code:
2014-02-23 02:47:36.353 [ERROR][10] Unexpected error in AddEPGEvents: System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteException (0x80004005): database is locked

I am zipping my nrecord.log file and attaching. Could someone be so kind as to take a look and let me know what might be going wrong? Nrecord shows no active tuners so I have to restart the service to be able to use nPVR again. I am using nPVR as my backend pvr server for my xbmc frontends.
Hi Iain
Running NPVR 3.3.1 with all patches and the .net 4 System Plugin - probably downloaded first day released. On Win 8.1 x32.
Very rarely I use the update epg function (after a channel scan) and on more than one occasion, possibly every time I have used it, it completes the scan then crashes NPVR.
Anything spring to mind? or what logs do you require.
With my HDHR Primes connected to my home LAN, I have intolerable error rates - hdhomerun_config reports network errors (dropped packets), recorded video freezes, audio freezes, stutters, repeats. This happens at least 2 or 3 times per hour and often more. I've tried everything - new nic, change settings, disable/uninstall firewall - nothing helps. Weird thing is that it worked perfectly from April 2013 through Sept when the truncated recordings made me give up on nPVR. When I reinstalled everything a few weeks back, the errors started.
Now I have two nics. One goes to the home LAN, the other just to the HDHR Primes through a switch. Errors are gone according to hdhomerun_config. With the HDHomeRun QuickTV I get video and audio no problem and the file from "hdhomerun_config save" plays perfectly. When I run NextPVR with either live tv or recording, I get nothing. HDHomeRun Config GUI shows that the tuner has been set to the right channel and nPVR status shows the tuner active, but there's no network traffic. I've tried openDHCP server so the primes have ip addresses and I've tried removing the switch and directly connecting the HDHR Prime to the nic. Still no good.
Help! I really like NextPVR. I've donated to the project and I will again if I can get it to work for me.
Thanks,
Jeff
My configuration:
ASUS m4a87t, Athlon II x2 250, Realtek 8111E (to LAN), Intel EXPI9301CT (to HDHR Primes)
Windows 7 SP1 current updates
NextPVR 3.1.1 R1a
two HDHomeRun Primes
Netgear switches: GS108E, GS108, GS605NA
Since it transcodes to H.264 assuming it would be limited to only being able to show two events at once unlike the current tuners that provide the multicast ability if channels live on the same frequency?
I've just uploaded v2.1.1 to Google Play - give it time to appear (possibly a few hours).
I had intended to do it yesterday but my dev tools have gone screwy and it has taken several attempts to export the package for release.
- Fixed issue where port would revert to 0 when "No transcoding" was selected for Live TV
- Fixed issue with incorrect URL encoding used when passing the URL of a Recordings file to a video player app
- Fixed issue with logo images not being shown for channels with illegal filename characters, e.g., ABC2 / ABC4
- Added Settings option to set default Media view
- A few other minor tweaks.
