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. I get great video, but no go on sound. same thing with dvd plugin in NextPVR. I get video but no sound. I'm using LAV for everything. I do get sound when I am not using NextPVR.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I'm having a problem which occurs when a recording timer is triggered while live TV is tuned to a different frequency.
The tuner card I'm using is a TBS6981, which has dual DVB-S2 satellite tuners, although only one is connected and available for use at the moment. If the tuner is being used to watch TV when NPVR starts recording a channel on a different frequency, then the video in XBMC will freeze. Upon attempting to stop playback the XBMC UI becomes unresponsive and the process must be restarted.

Is this a common problem or is it specific to my setup? This is the first time I've experienced it because in the past I have only set recordings while XBMC has been idle. It is, however, easily reproducible and I always get the same result when the conflict occurs.

I'm running XBMC version 12.3, NPVR version 3.1.1 and addon version 1.6.5.

Cheers,
Jon

I've also posted this at the NPVR sub-forum at xbmc.org, but I haven't had any replies there. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=182019

Hi,

I run XBMC as a front end for live TV, with a centralised NPVR server providing all the behind-the-scenes stuff. I usually only use the NPVR GUI to configure the tuner settings, and I like to do this via remote desktop (RDP) to avoid disruption to XBMC running on the server PC.

Since installing version 3.1.1 of NPVR I've been unable to start NPVR in a RDP session. After a while the window will show up, but it's empty and stops responding when I try to interact with it. Perhaps someone could try to replicate this to make sure it's not unique to my system?

Also, is there a way of running NPVR so that it only displays the settings dialog? A command line switch perhaps?

Cheers,
Jon

Boy oh boy this new clean install on the server isn't going all that smoothly......

I have install a clean new copy of MB4 straight off the wiki download & for the life of me I can't get it to scan, on the last attempt (logs attached) I just went into setup, didn't alter the collections from what it picked up from my NextPVR Music setup & then tried to do a scan.... which it didn't do

I know that this version does work overall as it's the same download that I'm using on my test rig, but on that PC I did the install & then copied in my existing data from my XP setup.... but I can't do that on the server as it doesn't have an E: drive in it...

Just setup a new windows 2012 R2 server and when I go to scan the channels in, the dialog box appears but scanning does not start, it just sit's there doing nothing.
This is what I have done so far:

- updated my HDHR to latest FW / SW
- installed the NextPVR patch set
- confirmed I can watch live TV using VLC player under "quickview" in HDHR setup
- disabled firewall completely
- added in firewall exceptions anyway
- tried to switch the application type in the HDHR setup
- some of the application requirements I was simply not able to install, it was not possible to install the old version .net for example
- made sure "client" was not checked
- I don't have all the codecs installed yet, is it possible that would not allow channel scanning ?


At this point I'm out of things to try, hoping I can get this resolved with forum members help.

I have been busy converting over from XP to Win7 (64) on both my test rig & main server....

Yesterday I noticed that I no longer get the cpu temp showing on the NMT display but it shows fine in System when viewed on the PC... I'm not sure when it stopped displaying ie. with the upgrade to net4 with 3.1.1 or just when I went win7.... I can (with some mucking around) fire back into my xp 3.1.1 install if necessary to see what it displays on the NMT if that would help find out where the problem lies.

I'm running NPVR 3.1.1 R1a in a Windows 8.1 64 bit environment.

MS VS C++ Runtimes are installed - both 32 & 64 bit for 2008, 2010 and 2012 Redistributable packages.

The main mc2xml.exe file runs without issues, however the XmltvExtras.exe silently fails due to:

"This assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded, exiting"

Help is always appreciated...

EDIT: System.Data.SqLite.dll Version is 1.0.85.0 (4/17/2013)
EDIT: XmltvExtras.exe Version is 3.1.2.16688 - mc2xml.exe Version is 1.2.0.0

Hello,

Sorry if the answer is somewhere, I did search but found nothing.

I try to have teletext when I'm watching live tv or a recording from live tv but the plugin returns the message "No teletext available".
I tried to watch a recoding with VLC and I can activate the teletext, so I guess the info in there, in the file. Do I need to do something to pass the teletext from NextPvr to xbmc or the feature is still not available in the plugin ?

My setup:

Windows 8
XBMC 12.3
NextPvr 3.1.1 with the patch
nextpvr xbmc 1.6.5

Thanks!

Don't know why, but NPVR on a client machine has stopped working with live TV. NPVR is working fine on the server machine. Logs attached and screenshoot of error message I get occasionally. When that error message doesn't appear and I click on a show in the guide and tell it to "watch", NPVR acts like it's going to play the live TV (LAV audio filer shows up in task tray etc.). The "...please wait..." dialog comes up and then goes away and the LAV filter disappears. Other times NPVR just hangs.

I know you can delete channels from the setup->channels area, but I don't want to delete those channels permanently.

What I want is to get rid of all the channels that have no guide data (since they don't map to the xml file) from showing up on the guide.

If I delete the channel from setup->channels, then it doesn't show up in the guide, however, when I do live tv, and right click channels to get the box of channels... it won't show up anymore.

So, is there any good way to do this without actually deleting the channel ? I just don't want the guide to show channels that have '(no show data)', but, still access it via liveTV, if I want.
