This may be a stupid question but in GBPVR I used to have an Icon top right of the menu screen that when clicked with the mouse exited the screen. This would then allow me to run the config programme.
In NPVR when I set it to start full screen, there seems to be no easy way to exit back to the desktop. If I ALT-Enter that reduces NPVR to a window but right clicking top left of the window just brings up the change screen or exit....there's no "settings" option.
How do you get to the settings screen when you've set NPVR to start full screen without directly editing the config file to turn full screen start off?
after a weekend of setting up NPVR i entered some recordings to see if its all working. when i tried to export them, the recurring-backup.xml file looked correct but the recording-backup.xml file was basically empty. If i look at the tv grid, the one-off recordings are all in there and they seem to be recording correctly, they just arent being exported to that file for backup.
Any ideas? I'm not sure which files to upload to you but i included a zip with recording-backup.xml, recurring-backup.xml and npvr.db3
I have to admit I don't bother too much about "art" images for recordings / videos / music etc on my npvr setup so I don't really know much about this stuff.
Question: Are there any general sizes (image WxH), densities, aspect ratios used by the various sites that provide the art images? I'm assuming different sites might provide thumbnail as well as small, medium, large images?
I have no idea if anyone will be interested in this but while I was playing around with channel logos I decided I had better have a look at how they looked with the Default skin & wellllll....... so after modifying a number of the logos I was working on I also did some quick tweaks to the Default skin to make them display a little better with it.
If you want to give it a look/play just create a new directory in your dataDirectory\NPVR\Skin (I called mine DefaultAlt) then copy the contents from Default into it after this copy the content of the attached zip into it overwriting the three files... open NextPVR & change your selected skin to DefaultAlt in the General sections of settings, restart NextPVR & all should be go.
If you decide to delete your new directory remember to go into settings before doing so & change your selected skin otherwise you will have to edit config.xml with notepad to change skins
I have just updated the attachment with a few tweaks & new screen captures.
Ive have decided to rebuild one of my computers as the motherboard died, and decided this was a good time to update hardware. This issue i am hoping i can work though is not having to set up my NPVR setup from scratch all over again. I am unsure yet if i am going to be able to boot into windows with old HDD on new motherboard. Is there a way i can copy over my setting (channels other setting) by copying the npvr folder thats on the HDD, if i need to re-install windows. If anyone could let me know what i should do. Most interested in not having to rescan all channels again.
Hi!
Very excited to see there's an update which enables the recording of series etc.
I installed the latest Gotham nightly today and enabled NextPVR.... connects and displays guide / plays TV fine.
I looked at the version number and it says 1.9.5 and the log 1.9.6..... assuming that it is actually 1.9.6 I started to look for the new recording options, but can't see them anywhere... if I schedule a recording I just get the option to add or cancel it! - are they hiding somewhere?
For now, I just load up NPVR and set them in that, but ideally I'd like to do it from within XBMC.
Much of my EPG is empty with "no show details". Looking at the log I have the following :-
Code:

However, I can't find anything odd at the line or offset??? Does NPVR quote the real line number of the xml file of is it parsed a bit first'???
trying to attach zip file, may be big, so possible edit with dropbox link. Damn epgbadchar.zip - Your file of 3.44 MB bytes exceeds the forum's limit of 2.29 MB for this filetype.
After I upgraded to 3.1.1, I tried accessing the NEWA and it says it can't be found. I tried using the localhost and teh Actual Ip Address (locally and remotly) still could not be found. I finally looked at the log and it says "Unexpected error starting web server:..."(full logs attached)
I've tried everything to fix this, rebooting, installing the latest NEWA, uninstalling NPVR then re-installing it adding patches and installing the the latest NEWA, and even uninstalling .NET 4 and re-installing it.
I Uninstalled again and went back to 2.6.2 and NEWA works fine, I even tried again upgrading to 3.1.1 (making sure the service was stopped before I upgraded) NEWA couldn't be found. Added patches and installed the the latest NEWA again and still did not work.
