Probably unlikely, given the numbers of folks who want it (few?) and complexity (?) to achieve it, but this request arises out of me missing shows recently because my OTA Digital Tuner has not started. Pulling the plug out and reinserting it solves the problem. I used to have two (identical Hauppauge) but one went belly up.
So I thought why not see if NPVR could test for a signal (briefly), and switch to a (free) tuner that had one, hey presto, problem solved.
Maybe even add a message somewhere that it had to do this, so you know one tuner is not good at waking up in the morning, like it's owner.
OK, I know the answer should be "get your hardware sorted out" or "get your wake from sleep states sorted out", but I have to try :-)
I've been trying a lot of different things. I've already made sure that firewall allowed NextPVR, Ndigitalhost, and NRecord through- I have no other firewalls running that I'm aware of. I also have downloaded and installed the unlocked SAF 6.2.2 decoder pack and configured it with cyberlink decoders. I also have schedules direct, although it seems like my tuner scan in next pvr is picking up a lot of channels that schedules direct cannot identify. I've called my cable company (Time Warner Cable) numerous times and they assure me that my card and digital adapter are set up correctly (but who really knows with them!). I have next pvr version 3.1.1 and the hd homerun prime. When I try viewing on "Quick TV", I at least get two channels (no more than that) but can't view anything on next pvr. Also, when I tried recordinng something in next pvr and playing it back, I couldn't view anything. I'm running windows 8.
There, I think I have provided as much info as I though of that could be relevant. Any help would be EXTREMELY appreciated! Log files are attached.
I have NPVR running on my Windows 8.1 box. I use a laptop that is running Windows 7 that is running NPVR as a client. It connects fine and lets me watch recorded shows and everything seems to work fine. The only thing that I can't seem to do is set something to record. It acts like everything worked fine but doesn't show up in recordings. I have tried from the guide and from search. I have tried quick record, record only this episode, record all episodes... every option that is available to try does not work. I can go to my windows 8 box and it works fine. I can even set a recording from my Raspberry Pi running OpenElec with the official PVR plugin. It even seems to work with Martins X-NEWA add-in. Have I got something setup wrong? I see this error code in my NRecord.log file.

I had a bsod and after that neither the UI nor the recording service will start. Windows just says the app has stopped working, and no logfile is produced. The only information is in the attached file. Any ideas?
I have gotten ATSC captions to work by extracting them from .ts files using ccextractor and putting the .srt file in the same folder as the .ts file. Three questions...
1) When playing a recording, the SRT Subtitle option only appears if the .srt file is in the same folder as the .ts file. Is there a way to tell Npvr to look in another folder for the .srt file?
2) Is there a way to default to srt captions enabled if the srt file is present?
3) Is there a way to change the font of the captions?
I haven't noticed this ability, but I'd love to be able to set a number of recording quality levels that would set the recording bitrate at various levels depending on the show. My wife's tivo had high, default and low. All of my shows record at 10mbps (or whatever the term is!), and I know that my wife's cooking channel shows and my son's cartoons don't need that high of a bit rate, while I look sports and movies to record at that higher level. I could re-encode, and sometimes I do, but that's just time consuming.
I have NextPVR 3.11 running on my XP HTPC. All is working well on this machine coupled with XBMC.
I'm trying to allow my laptop to access NextPVR. I have NextPVR installed on the laptop as well (Win7 home).
Windows 7 can't access the shared folder, some type of permission error. I have several other folder shares on the XP machine and all work fine, and is accessible on the laptop.
The problem seems to be not allowing C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data to be shared. I have windows file share enabled (of course) and simple file/folder sharing disabled. I am sharing the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\NPVR folder, with full access granted. When I type \\192.168.0.10 into file explorer on the laptop, all the other folder shares AND "npvr" show up. However when I try and access "npvr" share I get the error "Windows cannot access blah blah." Naturally of course NextPVR can't access the db file so I get nothing.
So what's the solution? I seem to not have this issue with C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data as I have a couple shares under this path and the Windows 7 machine can access them with no problem (Owner being the default user name). So is there a way to force NextPVR to use a single user App Data folder instead of "All Users." Is there a way to force XP to allow sharing the All Users Application Data folder and any subfolders?
