Let me start off by saying the world of HTPC's and PVR's is still pretty new to me, so please bear with me...
I am having a good deal of trouble getting NextPVR set up as a backend for XBMC. Since I have a Ceton InfiniTV 4 with a CableCard, I have tried following the guides posted here and other places. I have managed to get SageDCT to recognize the Ceton internal card and all four tuners. I have also installed Network Recorder. However, the first issue I have encountered is that once I have the first tuner configured, NextPVR (outside of XBMC) tells me it can not communicate with the device. The second problem is that if I add the other 3 tuners in the .xml file, only the original tuner appears in the NextPVR settings. I am using Windows 7 x64. To help explain, I have attache screenshots, as well as the log file below.
This is really, really weird.
I told npvr to record 2 shows @ 8, and 2 shows at 9.
My tuner is a HR prime with 3 tuners.
Usually, it would use one tuner per show.
This time around, it used 1 tuner for 2 shows, verified by what status was showing, AND going to the prime's status page, and looking at the tuner info. Only 1 tuner was in use!
So, I figured it was a bug, so I stopped 1 show, and then did a quick record.
It was still using 1 tuner for BOTH shows.
Looking at the files, yeah, they were both being written to, AND the data was different.
It was indeed the shows it was supposed to record.
At 9, status showed *4* shows on 1 tuner. The prime still had 1 LED on for tuner status, so again, it was using 1 tuner, but this time with 4 shows. (the end of the first two, and the start of the next two).
They were on the same channel though, so, in reality, it was still only 2 channels on 1 tuner.
Yes, all vids show all the content it was supposed to.
I am really confused on how this can happen, is there a secret way to record off the prime so it doesn't show tuner status at all ?
Right now, while this is going on, it is showing this,for tuner status:
Code:
Modulation Lock qam256
PCR Lock locked

Signal Quality 100% (37.6 dB)
Symbol Quality 100%
Streaming Rate 37.785 Mbps
Resource Lock 192.168.1.10
the other two tuners show:

It happened yesterday and I thought it was me, so I did an update for logging and thought I'd try again after restoring.
It goes something like this:-
View a recording and exit before the finish to recordings menu.
move down to a recording I want to delete and press the square stop key (used for delete) and it deleted the recording I was part way through watching, not the one highlighted in the menu.
In my case today, I wanted to delete the file "Dolphins - Spy in the Pod" and it deleted "Burn after Reading".
The weblog shows the name of the recording deleted "Burn after Reading"
It would be reassuring if the confirm yes/no dialogue box had the recording name in it ??
OK so this conversion of the production server to NextPVR is currently totally in a large love hate relationship.... the latest hate (I will get back to the others later as they aren't show stoppers) is it crashing while I'm listening to random music through MB4 with SSP as the screensaver.... I'm not sure if it's a NextPVR thing an MB4 thing or an SSP thing.... or a "me has something (setup) wrong" thing... all the logs & win event attached (sorry for the format of the event log but I can't figure out how to capture it any other way with win7??) of course there is no mvp log for this NMT as we have more than one extender attached.
just wondering if anyone has a google tv device (other than the netgear neo).
hopefully someone with a vizio neo (im looking to buy that one).
i can provide a apk with nextpvr for google tv (same as nextpvr for samsung just using the google tv remote and a different player). just want someone to confirm playback works on any google tv device, before i buy another one that it still doesnt work on. (not that i would be to upset by this, i still love my netgear neo for netflix, vudu, plex (although not everything works in plex)).
to install it you would just need to sign into the portal.reven.co.nz using chrome on the google tv and there will be download link. once you download it to the google tv, just open the "nextpvr.apk" file in the "Downloads" app on GTV and it should appear in the "All Apps" menu.
I haven't uploaded the apk yet, but if someone has a google tv device, then ill build it and upload it.
it needs to be a google tv device as its designed for that remote, it doesnt have a touch interface.
i just need someone to test playback of recordings.
Hello- Trying to be cheap with old PC running NextPVR just to have EPG. Would like to find a way to click on EPG and change my 2011 Sammy (LN46C650 series latest firmware, no Smarthub) TV channel, maybe using USB UIRT device. Found this project so now I am trying to access the app on my 2011 Sammy Bluray model BD-5700 (latest firmware). I'm thinking a better PC and this app will let me use the EPG and watch NPVR on the TV without having to change inputs on the TV (Samsung is great but has two annoying quirks in almost all models, 1- cannot directly enter channel numbers when tv is on an external input, it will not switch tv to the tuner that way, and 2- Sammy specifically says it does not believe in variable audio output levels that would allow you to use tv remote volume controls to change volume on sound bar or home theatre receiver that the tv analog or digital audio output is connected to).
The Bluray player does allow me to add Develop account and login, I see develop in the lower left corner like I should, and it does allow me to enter this project's IP address and then click on Synchronize to the account button just underneath the IP setting button.
But then I get a network or interference error so I can't see the app to download it. I started trying last night (Jan 21) and continued again today. I am in America. The Bluray player is connected with a static IP directly to my CenturyLink DSL modem which has default settings for everything (no port forwarding etc). Other apps on the player can access the internet fine.
Is there something about this version of Smarthub that is not compatible with today's Develop accounts? Is there some modem configuration to do? Is the project blocked from allowing new members?
PS- Reven says in one thread that the 2012 models are REALLY slow compared to the 2013 models, I can say that the 2011 model is so slow at all internet apps that I use them on the TV instead, which is MUCH faster even though it is the same model year.
The Subject says most of my issue. I'm running XBMC (Frodo) and have enabled the NextPVR client. (Sorry - I don't recall the NextPVR version I'm running.)
When I play a video stream (either tuned TV or a recording) through just NextPVR I get no sound. However when I play a stream or recording using the NextPVR client from within XBMC audio works no problem.
I did a quick search of the forum and couldn't find this issue described. I've tried what seems like every combo of codec setting in NextPVR.
