Didn't get an answer to my can't record problem but applied latest patches trying to cure it, seems to have caused this. Can no longer connect to front end-xbmc. Log says "unexpected error starting web server, file load exception, publickey token=null, or one of its dependences, parameter is incorrect". I would very much appriciate someone pointing me in the right dirrection. IP pings good. Live tv works good. As you can probobly tell from the dumb questions, this is my first attempt at a mcpc with nvpr/xbmc.
I am using:
Windows 7 Ultimate
Hauppauge HVR-2250
ATSC Antenna that has been tested and working
Decoder - Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder (this is the only option I can select)
I have been through the general settings and been able to get the ATSC tuner to scan available channels, selected a folder to store files, but when selecting Live TV, I am only getting a black screen. No sound and no picture.
The guide is not updating at all, (no show detail) is the only thing listed at every show.
Just bought a BD-F6500 and installed the Samsung app. Will test and report back but would it be possible to and WOL to wake my NPVR server up. I don't really want yo leave it on 24x7 or run upstairs every time I want to use it.
Looking forward to getting rid of my PopCorn Hour box, well the wife is.
Hi all,
I just installed this in my Openelec setup and it's working great.
Only "issue" I found is that if I'm in the EPG, have a show highlighted and select it (all with the remote) it switches to the screen that would allow me to play it, but pops up the channel dialog.
I then have to cancel that and select play to play the show.
Is there any way to disable this?
As far as I know the OK button on my remote is acting like a left mouse click and I don't have the same behavior on my Windows 7 machine using the mouse.
So what media player do I need to watch live TV via nDroid on the Galaxy S3 SCH-I535? Apparently VLC for Android doesn't support the Qualcomm SoC/CPU (not ARM based) - at least that's the gist of what I read/saw.
Also, believe I read that nDroid development has ceased. However, nDroid (TE) marches on and that's what I should install on the S3. That correct?
Tuner work on another machine on win 7 without problem, on the vista machine, tuner wont work, error message: "The tuner you were using was required for a recordng. WOuld you like to switch to watching a recording, or exit back to the menu?" only option given is "exit back to menu" also on the vista gathering channels take forever (like 4 hours) and in the end the program crashes. I had to import channels from the Win 7 machine, this is more than likely just me though.
I haven't recorded anything, as far as I know. all I did was click "live TV" and when that didnt work, went to program guide and tried from there.
Updated the latest patch from sticky.
Nrecord.exe not running in task manager when NPVR.exe is started (it should right??) so did the command prompt "nrecord run" thing, attached the command prompt log in zip, also attached npvr log folder from C:\Users\Public\NPVR
deleted ipv6 from hosts file in system32\drivers\etc
Tried turning firewall off (zonealarm), same thing. Have allowed all the npvr programs to accept connections etc but have not opened specific ports (I don't know how and shouldn't allowed programs be able to do this by itself anyway??)
I am completely flam-dumb-zambled on this one.... so if any of you computer bright sparks can come up with an explanation I would be very very appreciative indeed.
As a little background I have an (old now) dedicated PC just as a PVR server & do all my watching/listening etc. via NMT's & I have had digital recording glitch problems ever since I setup for DVB-S around six odd years (the PC wasn't all that old in those days) ago but within the last fortnight I discovered something I almost completely missed for those six odd years....
I had an (almost new) splitter failure a couple of Wednesday's ago that caused all my recordings to fail that night, the next day (Thursday), being as I was flat out, I just hooked up my second dish direct to one card (this required lnb setting to be changed so I did a pc re-boot as well) & the reception/recording of the news was good with only two micro-glitchs (that you wouldn't have even seen if you weren't really looking for them) but the next night (Friday) having not changed anything it was almost totally unwatchable rubbish.... Saturday I hooked everything back into the first dish with a different splitter & changed the lnb settings again & did a quick warm re-boot of the PC & the news recording that evening was almost glitch free..... Sunday & again the news recording was glitchy (not un-watchable but bloody annoying) so Monday I was thinking about this & thought it couldn't be could it, nah no way, well maybe, but I can't think why it would, well it isn't all that hard to test.... so around 4:30pm I again did a PC warm boot & low & behold the news recording was actually 100% glitch free.... the next day I didn't re-boot it & there were glitchs again in the recording of the news... then next day a warm boot at around 4:45pm & 100% glitch free again.... yesterday I did a warm boot at around 7:50am & there were a small amount of glitchs in last nights recording... today I have done a warm boot at around 12:10pm & I will see the results tonight... but it appears I have been chasing the wrong end of these glitch problem all along & I have shelled of quite a few $ trying to fix the dish/lnb/cables which I thought were the culprits but they don't seem to have been it all along
I use a wireless keyboard with built in mouse buttons and track ball. I'd like the ability to easily return to windowed Live TV from full screen. I often jump out and cruise the internet or do other things on the computer during commercials etc.... It would be nice not to have to exit NPVR to get out of full screen and then have to bring NPVR back up again and select Live TV to get to windowed mode. If this can already be done, please let me know how. So far I haven't seen a way.
