Every damned time I start my web browser, some big headline about the olympics pops up, spoiling results of events I won't watch for another 12 hours or so. So far I think I've known already about every USA medal and failure-to-medal before I could watch it. Those of you in Europe get the events closer to live, but still if you record them and watch later (to skip commercials if for no other reason) you must get the same effect. Annoying isn't it?
My guide data disappeared several weeks ago. In the past when this happened, I found a new version of mc2xml and that fixed the problem, but I have the latest version and there haven't been any recent updates. No settings have been changed in many months, and it was working fine until a few weeks ago. The mc2mxl command is:
mc2xml -c us -g 19460 -d 168 -o TVGUIDE.xml -s -6
I checked the xml output file (this is for antenna / over the air only). The guide data is all there, but it looks like the channel numbers are wrong. One example:
I think I could probably remap channels in the NPVR settings ->Channels, so "48" maps to my channel 3 / kyw. But then I assume if/when the problem is ever fixed, I would have to do it all over again, remapping every channel. Is there some way I can back up the original and copy it over if this problem gets fixed? Since it has been like this for a number of weeks now, I'm not sure when it might get fixed?
Note: I did try to delete the XML guide data, and let it refresh automatically, but this did not help, still had the wrong channel numbers.
Has anyone else seen this before, and what did you do?
I have been looking for a DirecTV recording solution for my pc for a LONG time. Have tried many applications but none will record one channel while I watch another. I have:
One DirecTV set top box
3 GHz Intel cpu, 4 GB RAM, two 500 GB hdd, one ATI single tuner card, one Hauppauge dual tuner card.
One dual port usb IR Blaster, and/or the two IR Blasters that came with the Hauppauge tuner.
I have successfully set up several different applications but none of them will record one channel while watching/recording another. It will ONLY record the channel being viewed. DOES NPVR HAVE THE ABILITY TO WATCH AND RECORD SEPARATE CHANNLES SIMULTANEOUSLY USING JUST ONE DIRECTV SET TOP BOX? Or does all solutions require 2 or more set top boxes? If that's the case, should I just ditch the entire idea? I wanted to use my htpc as a dvr with just the one set top box to avoid the extra cost of an additional set top box and/or dvr service. Please advise and thanks in advance.
NPVR finds most of the channels I am interested in, but not ATSC physical channel 8 Digital sub channels 1, 2, and 3. It also does not find NTSC channel 8 (but I really don't care). The TV that is on the same cable does see 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3. No channels are found below physical channel 10. The Tuner is a HaupPage WinTv-2250 (8851). I found the thread that indicated that I should delete the 8851 portion of the devices configuration XML file. That allowed the NPVR to find all except this one channel that I am interested in.
I expect there is more information that would be useful to help debug, but, I don't know what it is.
First off, many thanks for great NPVR. So far I've had excellent success with NPVR 3.1.1 on WIN7 as standalone or with XBMC.
The system I am using is a Gigabyte G85M with Intel i3-4130.
I try to get some of the local stations that broadcast on Astra 19.2 e.g. (12422,H,27500,34,DVB-S,QPSK). I have created a .ini file with transponder list from http://satellites-xml.eu for Astra 19.2.
The program scans all frequencies and shows reception for everthing on frequencies 9000-11999 MHz but not above.
In contrast, with WMC the reception is present for all frequencies.
Is there something I missed to set in the program?
Attached is the latest WebRadio that I have been using for months now, but there still might be issues

I've put a post out on the nDroid (TE) Beta Testers Google Group but just to follow through in case anybody doesn't get an email from the group...
I've just uploaded v2.1 of the nDroid Service to my web server and I'm about to upload v2.1 of the nDroid (TE) app to the Google Play Beta testers group.
Install the service before updating the app - it will work with current release versions of nDroid and nDroid (TE).
Some known issues...
Ignore the "Video Test" in the options menu - I was going to take it out but as this is a closed Beta group I figured I could just warn you that it won't work for you.
Feel free to try out SSDP Search - it will be buried in the code for the next release (rather than being a menu option). It's meant to help with discovering nDroid Services on a WLAN. If you don't get a search response then let me know.
I've added FTS3 (Fast Text Search) ability into TE but the search results won't do anything yet. Just test the search dropdown works with the magnifying glass icon and you get a result popup.
If you start from a fresh install, ignore the "Cancel Download" button...it doesn't do anything and will be removed for the public release.
Changes...
Tidied up the Action Bar options menu (right hand side on a tablet) so they don't duplicate things. In other words if you're in the TV Guide view it won't show "TV Guide" in the options menu. Similarly, if you switch to "Recordings" it'll show "TV Guide" but not "Recordings" etc etc
Extra work to add a Navigation Drawer for options on phones (touch the < part of the nDroid (TE) title on the Action Bar).
Added multiple transcode settings for Live TV / Recordings.
Added "press to play" live TV in the channel list
Changes to Now/Next to show start/end times.
Change to All timeslots to exclude programmes marked as "Close" (I'll possibly add an option to exclude "Teleshopping" also. )
Fixed problem with playback from "Recordings". NOTE: trying anything in "Recurring" or "Pending" views still won't work - I'm currently waiting on UJB to finalise some stuff with the new NEWA services.
Fixed problem where incorrect network details (IP address for instance) would cause infinite download spinning circle.
I've read bunch of posts about black screen, tried different decoders and no luck. My setup Windows 8.1, and HDHomeRun (the old gray one (gen2?) running on wifi) I am able to playback programs in VLC player just fine from HDHomeRun GUI and it shows decent network rate which is shown in HDHomeRun setup (8 Mbps). I configured in NextPVR and see all channels, but whenever I try to watch any channel Network Rate drops to 0.2Mbps and NextPVR interface becomes sluggish and just shows black screen. Any idea what could be an issue here? Is my HDHomeRun not supported or is WiFi & NextPVR don't go along?
Since I upgraded to 3.1.1 R1, I notice that while watching a recording, during other recording, if I delete many recordings, playback freeze a fraction of a second than catch up.
Today while deleting 25GB recordings, playback froze for about 2-3+ seconds each time. :confused:
I never noticed that behaviour with 2.6.2 or before.
That is more annoying than a problem, but maybe something change in 3.1.1
Win7 x64, 7200RPM Disk defragmented every other day.
I7-2600K, 8GB, SSD,

I am having a similar problem with sound not working. I tried installing the AC3Filter codec, but still no sound.
I'm using WINTV HVR 950.
Sound works with WinTV software.
Tried a bunch of different codec options in the settings.
The part that confuses me the most is that in the Windows Volume Mixer, it shows a green bar indicating sound is being recognized, but I cannot hear anything from the app, although I can hear other noises if I click one of the different sliders.
Thank you in advance for your help, and sorry for being a newb. :-)
