Upgraded NPVR to 3.1.1. XMLTVXtras is crashing with
Error connecting to database: Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Progra
m Files (x86)\NPVR\System.Data.SQLite.dll' or one of its dependencies. This asse
mbly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be
loaded.
Exiting.
In the UK many channels repeat the same programme several times throughout the day.
It would be useful to have the option (on a recording by recording basis to allow for shows that have different episodes with the same description) to prevent duplicate recordings by having the option to verify the EPG description against already recorded / scheduled recordings to ensure that only one was recorded.
After over 8 years with Beyond TV I have finally made the move to NextPVR to allow support for DVB-T tuners - loving it so far, much easier to configure!
I have one serious issue where if I attempt to schedule a recurring recording from a client whilst other recordings are in progress I get the following SQL error which requires a restart of the recording service to unlock:
The server PC is a clean build of Windows 7 and I have applied the latest patch pack to NextPVR 3.1.1 (both client and server)
Scheduling the same recording when nothing else is being recorded or directly on the server works as expected. Also scheduling a quick recording on the client under the same conditions works fine.
Client and server are connected on a 100Mbps wired LAN.
I have attached the log files from both client and server in a zip file.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as this is that last problem holding back family approval of the change!
Hi!
I've been using Windows Media Center on Windows 7 for years but with my old hardware dying on me I've decided to try something new.
This is a brand new build, my first on Windows 8.1 and my first attempt at using NextPVR. I'm using all new hardware except for two trusty Hauppauge HD PVR and a MCE IR Blaster with two ports so I can control both devices individually. I've been able to set everything up, including the channel line up and EPG updates. NextPVR sees my two HD PVR just fine. I can watch "LiveTV" (I get video and sound) but I just can't change the channels.
Since I have two devices it's my understanding that I can't use the built-in IR blaster because there is no way to specify which of the two you want to operate. So... I've installed the IR Server Suite (IRSS) from the MediaPortal team and set it up to use the dual-port Microsoft MCE IR Blaster.
Everything seems to work fine within IRSS. If I open a command prompt window and run IRBlast.exe from the command line I can change the channels just fine on both devices using the additional port parameter. I see the channel change in the "LiveTV" window. But even thought I specify the exact same syntax within the NextPVR devices settings (just like in the URL above), it just doesn't work. The LEDs don't flash, it's like nothing is happening at all.
I'm evaluating nPVR as a replacement for SageTV. I'm running it under 64 bit Win 8.1, using an HDHomeRun Prime as my capture device.
While watching live TV, I'm noticing frequent bursts of pixelation, as well as brief video freezes and audio drop outs. This doesn't happen when watching live TV through Sage.
However, I'm not sure if this is an nPVR issue or a codec issue. I installed both the latest LAV package and Windows Media Center. I'm currently using the LAV decoders.
Also, my SageTV installation runs under Win7 32 bit. Could that make a difference (i.e., is the media support better in Win7 32 bit than Win8.1 64 bit?) I can install Win7 32 bit on my test machine, but that's a tedious process I'd like to avoid unless there's some chance it will make a difference.
I am wanting to set up a recurring recording to record the local news. The news plays at 5pm, 6pm, and 10pm. I'd like to keep three recordings with the oldest recording being deleted to make room for the latest. Will setting the 'keep x recordings' setting to three accomplish this, or will NPVR record three programs and then not record any more until one is deleted manually?
Please forgive me if this is an obvious question. I've checked the wiki and did a search and did not find the answer.
I have had a look at NextPVR and the standalone client works really well. I installed the XBMC plugin and it launches but I have a few issues. Probably easy to fix.
1) Subtitles are always on. There seems to be no intuative way to switch them off.
2) Signal is not as good as when you run it standalone
3) It frequently crashes XBMC, have other people expierienced poor reliability?
4) EPG looks terrible. Is there any way to download logos for channels etc. Also when I launch it I would like it to display with Timeline. Instead I get a now/Next
I am using an MVP with an OTA tv tuner that provides MPEG2 streams. I tried the MVP and found that HD streams did not play at all. I could hear bits of audio, but no video. SD streams did play, but audio was out of sync. I am using the version of the MVP dongle posted on the wiki with a wired network connection.
I've used the same MVP with SageTv and the hd streams did play fine, but they were transcoded to make their playback possible. Does the npvr dongle provide transcoding? Am I missing something? I've tried turning off 'high quality render' but it seems to automatically enable itself (setting doesn't stick). Can anyone offer any guidance? I'd like to use the MVP on one of the kids' tvs but won't be able to if it cannot play live tv.
