I've recently made the switch to NPVR and have it configured using two Pi's running XBMC (Gotham build of Dec 15th) - The addon version is 1.9.5.

Sometimes when trying to start a channel I get an error 'Tuner no longer available' but if I look at NTray.exe status it shows the tuner is writing to a file for the channel I've tried to tune. The NPVR log doesn't seem to contain any glaring errors either..
I have attached logs (including XBMC) of a tuning attempt that generated the error message, then I pressed stop (in XBMC) and tuned the same channel, that time it works fine. (So the log is 1 failed tune, followed by 1 successful).

I did a bit of googling, and some people suggest disabling the timeshift feature in the addon (seems to be on by default) but if I turn it off then I can't start any channel at all!

Any ideas what could be going wrong?

New to using nextPVR and this forum, so not certain if this question has been answered before, cannot find it in a search.

I have a eyeTV diversity receiver (USB plug in device) which came with a eyetv remote control. I have installed npvr which works fine with the diversity receiver.

The remote control does not work, does anybody know what needs to be done to make the eyetv remote control to work with npvr ?

Software is Windows 7 - 32 bit with latest updates.

Hey Everyone,

I am in the process of setting up an NPVR solution for my mom and at the moment i have digital working fine. I however have been unsuccessful in getting the analog tuner to be recognized in NPVR. I read the wiki section and tried to do the batch file softpvr install. i then noticed that the tuner was not added in the list.

I am trying to use a dell angel usb tuner (worked fine in GBPVR) but have been unsuccessful in getting it to be recognized in NPVR. Any help. I am attaching the fiter log and would appreciate any help in what needs to be added to the file. In addition can someone confirm that the wiki method of extracting the softpvr info still works

Thanks

Hello there.
For the best part of a week, I have been searching high and low for a good PVR program that was easy to use.
When the digital switchover occurred last week, I thought my old USB TV card, a pinnacle pc tv device, would be able to pick up the digital channels, but it couldn't, it only did analog.
I had been using a commercial product called snapstream Beyond TV to listen to and record TV shows with the device. It was a great piece of software, but development was stopped in 2010 and the product is no longer supported.
I bought a new TV tuner stick, a Kaiser Baas and tried to use beyond TV with it, but it couldn't find any digital channels when I initiated a scan.
Then I tried using the total media package which came with the card, but because I am totally blind, I could not use the software because it did not play nice with my screen reader and I had to get sighted assistance, however, It was able to pick up a few channels, so I knew the tuner stick wasn't faulty.
Oh well, it was off to google for some research.
after many hours I came across Next PVR and downloaded and tried it, and was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was to use. Even though the main GUI can't be used with screen readers, I can still use the right click menu and navigate with the arrow keys and enter on the option I want, and there's also the web interface which is quite accessible to people using screen readers.
Unfortunately, I do not yet have a roof mounted antenna, so I can only get a few channels, but it's better than nothing.
Once again, thank you for this wonderful product. Perhaps a digital amplifier would suffice in the meantime.

hi,
when i try to execute xmltvextras i get following error:

"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."

i'm running npvr on server2012essential.
.net 4.x is part of the system.

According to news reports I should be able to receive 5 new Freeview HD channels (BBC Three HD, BBC Four HD, BBC News HD, CBeebies HD and CBBC HD). But, scanning with NextPVR I can only get two of them (BBC Three HD and BBC HD). Any knowledgeable people got any ideas?

note: My TV signal comes from the Rowridge (Isle of Wight) transmitter. I have tried scanning using the "Rowridge" and the "All frequencies" scan options.

Hello there.
I would like to save my shows in .mpg format, but when I try to record a show, it saves it in .ts format instead.
am I able to change this? if so, how?
Thanks.

Hello there
I am a new user to Next PVR and I think it is a fantastic product. I have just installed it, and am trying to make some configuration changes via the web interface, but when I try to access the page, it brings up a newa login screen. What is the username and password I enter in this field? I don't remember configuring any username or passwords.
Thanks.

Hi all,
I'm trying out "Chameleon" and LOVE it.
One question I have is, if you change the interface to NextPVR, how do you get back to the settings for it?

I'd like to tweak some of the settings but, since it launches into the NextPVR interface, I can figure out how to get to them.

Thanks for any info.

Quote:With version 3.2, the utility has been stripped down to only extract the "icon" information for programmes, since all other data is available in NPVR itself in the meantime.

The utility will then search the programmes in your xmltv-file for additional information about show images and store them in the TV Listings database.
