I have a colossus and hd pvr connected to two individual set top boxes. One set top box works flawlessly, the other has a bit of an issue where it takes a few seconds to acquire the signal and display video on the first access of the tuner after an hour or more. If the tuner has been used recently, it seems to display the signal immediately. There is an option on the device setting page to "Wait longer before starting recording capture." If I have this option deselected, I get the video recorded, but the audio gives me problems because the OSD for the tuner shows up, but no audio is being output. Eventually when the video displays, audio is recorded for use in VLC or other related video players, but isn't identified properly on the recording for NPVR or VideoReDo to use the audio stream. If I have it selected, the OSD disappears by the time the recording starts, so NPVR is showing this:

2014-01-20 22:33:33.296 [DEBUG][11] Device reports resolution: 0x0 (fps:0) (aspect:0) (progressive:0) (videoIdCode:0)

So no video is being recorded, and recording services freezes up and causes major glitches in that no recordings can start beyond this point.

Is there a way to set the length of time for the "wait longer before recording capture," or is that a set length that cannot be adjusted? I'd rather lose 15 seconds of a recording on the second tuner than freeze up the entire system, especially with the Olympics about to start!!!

When I view a list of my PENDING recordings it is usually very long; running over the course of 10 days or so.
On a given day there may be 5-10 recordings scheduled.

It would be very helpful to somehow quickly distinguish one day from another in the listing.
That way at a glance I could see what programs are scheduled for that evening.

For example, if the listings background color would alternate between 2 different colors, changing back and forth as the date changed from one day to another.

i.e. The first day's recordings would have a dark blue background, when the date changed the background would change to a contrasting color, when the date changed it would go back to dark blue again, etc.

Don't know how much effort this would take, but it would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure what's going on here and when it started, but when I try to view live TV off my main NPVR recording server, the video shows for a couple seconds, then goes black. This is not a 'real' problem for me as I typically don't watch live TV, and the recordings work perfectly. I'm just curious as to what is going on...

• NPVR 3.1.1
  
• Hauppauge 2250
  
• Win8
  
• Analog channel (via Composite connection)
  
• LAV Decoder
  
• No obvious errors in the log
  
• Video shows for about 2 seconds w/audio
  
• Video goes black, audio continues
  
• Recorded shows playback perfectly.
  

Hello, I am a total newb, so I apologize in advance. Set up an htpc about 5 years ago and now want to upgrade using NextPVR.

Hardware
Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-150
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000 Brisbane 2.6GHz Socket AM2 65W Dual-Core Processor
GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2H AM2+/AM2 AMD 780G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

OS:
Fresh install of Windows XP Service Pack 3 + all updates


I am using the onboard hdmi for video and sound. I am using the latest NextPVR version. I am using SAF 6.2.2 unlocked. I have a regular antenna getting atsc signals through my pvr card. When I try to play some high quality HD shows, its very choppy. I am no good at messing with my video graphic settings. Is there anyone that has a tweak for the CCC? I have version 2009.0730.58.43017

thanks in advance!!!!

Don't know where the problem is and I can't figure it out. I live in Australia, use a HD homerun and have XBMC as a front end. Some channels (about 3) are missing the Genres in the EPG when using DVB/ATSC EPG, most others have correct ones even if it is gaps from time to time.

Output from "http://127.0.0.1:8866/service?method=channel.listings.current&sid=foobar" shows that the genres are missing for those channels/program so it is not on the XBMC side and I am pretty sure that it worked quite well in WMC earlier as well as when using Media Portal tv server.

I am stuck for the moment and I have tried most things i can think of (maybe that ain't much thought :confused, any suggestion or hints how I can solved this would be appreciated.

Hey guys!

I'm not running a TV tuner at this time - hopefully very soon I'll have the money to pick one up.
NextPVR client ver installed on PC 3.1.1
I was able to install the software on my pc and get the app on my Samsung UN55F8000. However when signing in as devloper it wouldn't allow me to enter the pass as well for some reason but using just the username worked for me to get access to the app enter the IP address etc.

I configured the app on the pc/client side to access the folders where I have content, and rebooted pc.
loaded up the app on the TV and it says connecting to server then loading content (or programs, I forget exact wording) then just hangs.

I'm sure I'm missing something simple but can't figure out what it might be. Any assistance would be appreciated. Yes I forwarded the port in my router and have it set for that particular PC as well (PC is static ip'd on lan side).

Really excited to eventually get this working.

Thanks!

OK so I know it's most likely something I've stuff up but I can't see what I have done wrong..... my SSP config attached

<PCH-0006DC43A19F> is the one in the sitting-room running JustRetro
<PCH-0006DC446E05> is the Boss's one running BRVE+
The MVP is the bird-room also running BRVE+

After running it for a while it gets all screwed up with the Boss's one showing JustRetro stuff in the config & the bird-room not remembering the last views it was on when I fire it up next day etc.

Ok, I'll admit it. I seem to have gotten stuck drinking MSFT cool-aid for too many years. The transition from SOAP to WCF was pretty reasonable, but this JSON stuff that's all the rage with the cool kids has me a bit mystified. I can fully appreciate you wanting to use this system as a competing standard to WCF because it removes that dependency on MSFT, so please don't take this as a rant against it. I'm willing to work with it

Can somebody help a poor old MSFT guy with your new fancy Swagger documented API? Can I somehow generate all the classes from the API; and make calls to the API with the old school things I am used to, or do I really need to invoke the HTTP methods and make all the calls myself, passing everything correctly. You know, like we used to do with the WSDL generator?

The interwebs is full of people talking about how to use the Swagger system to document code, but nobody seems to have a guide for generating the classes for your client (particularly when it comes to .net clients).

Hint: Maybe the project itself already has the objects I'm looking for and they could be provided

Thanks!

Just curious I have a handful of channels that I'm able to watch using HDHR's QuickTV app, and I can scan them and add them into NextPVR, but when I try to actually watch them in NextPVR it just shows a black screen and never loads.

Any ideas why? My signal strength is marginal on some of these channels. Does the NextPVR software require a higher signal strength to view channels than QuickTV?

Had this issue from day one. 95% of the time the Samsung screensaver doesn't not kick in when watching something on NextPVR which is correct.

However sometimes it does, every 5 minutes or so through a program.
