Quote:From the change log:
- improved skipping logic when playing in-progress recordings.
What changed here? I was hoping this meant the comskip file would be reread while watching in progress recordings, to show new skips (like gbpvr did), but I don't see it happening.
Web Admin hasn't been working for a while, and I've finally got around to trying to find out why - but without success.

Will this tuner work for receiving and recording antenna channels?
I have it installed, at least to the point that MCE can see it, but next pvr does not see it. Nor can I get it to scan for channels, it seems to be searching for cable channels.
In January, SiliconDust announced that the next version of the HD Homerun will have onboard H.264 Transcoding on it.
I was browsing NewEgg and noticed that it's available in December.
There's a service called Aereo.com that is essentially a DVR in the cloud. The company has thousands of TV tuners with direct line of sight to the transmitters. Users can watch live TV from their mobile devices. Aereo also provides 40 hours of DVR to their customers. It's not available in my area however.
What I would like to do is to host my own Aereo type of service from my home. I want to be able to watch live or recorded TV from my mobile devices while I'm away from home.
My thinking is that since the HD Homerun will have transcoding on it, nextpvr won't have to do any transcoding. It could just capture the stream, record it to a drive and rebound it out the Internet to the mobile device. Since the Transcoding is built in to the HD Homerun, I would expect that I could simply pause the stream and it would continue caching at home.
I'm thinking that efficiencies would be gained by nextpvr not having to transcode the stream.
How big of a deal is it that the new HD Homerun will have on board transcoding?
:confused:
Thanks for viewing the thread, and any advice you can give. Here's my situation (specs first):
OS: Server 2008 R2 (Dedicated machine for this PVR purpose)
- Desktop Experience feature added
- Hack/batch for BDA devices used
- Direct X web redist installed
- VLC installed
- Shark007 Codec Pack installed (ffmpeg used for most decoders)
Core 2 Quad, 8GB RAM, Nvidia Chipset, Quadro FX3800, Dual Gigabit Ethernet (might team them later)
Tuners:
HDHR Prime (w/Cisco Cable Card from TWC)
Asus EHD3100 (not connected to cable yet)
Hauppauge WinTV PVR PCI II (not connected to cable yet nor detected by NPVR)
Please let me know if any of the prior installed software is unnecessary and I'll gladly remove it. So I've set up NPVR 3.1.1 and gotten the HDHR detected, as DCR-2650, and the channels populated. Using the OTA EPG for now. No plugins except TV Guide, Live TV, Recordings, and Search on the server client. Planning on Using XBMC as the remote clients with the NextPVR plugin. I've set a CNAME in DNS to point "TV" to the PVR Server, so for all entries I use TV as the host name. I've specifically shared the NPVR, Record and Temp folders for read only to authenticated users, so clients can see and connect to \\TV\*folder*. I've allowed, both receive and transmit, all of the .exe required and even a couple extra trough the firewall.
The issue I ran into that I can't seem to get past is two part I think, but maybe two parts of the same thing. First is that I can't seem to get clients to receive the stream from NPVR, even the client on the server doesn't seem to be able to get the stream. I see in Status that the Device starts a *.ts and the Tray icon turns red, but in about 30 sec it stops and the icon goes to normal again. I've attached logs from a couple attempts. The second issue is the web guide doesn't populate any TV Guide data.
I'm an old snapstream user and am wanting to try out NextPVR but am having problems at the start. I cannot get the recording service to start. Here's the error I get when I try:
Unable to start service: System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot start service
NPVR Recording Service on Computer '.'..--->
System.ComponentModel.Win32exception: The system cannot find the file \
specified
--- End of inner exception stack trace ---
at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.Start(String[] args)
at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.Start()
at NCtrl.Program.Main(String[]args)
Any idea how to fix it or what I did wrong. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and it just keeps happening.
Thanks
Was this a common problem?
The v3.1.1 seems to work fine, however the "System" option is on the screen but doesnt do anything, when in the "settings" it doesnt have a tick in it, when i put a tick in and close then re-open the tick has gone.
So seems like a simple problem, however how do i clear what ever error (i assume log files are needed?) unless this is a common issue (at work so not fully searched).
Was playing with Windows Media Center and then I disabled it through the Control panel. Now, my remote doesn't work in NextPVR unless I turn on WMC. Even then, my exit, or back button doesn't work.
Can I disable Windows Media Center and keep my remote working otherwise?
Okay so I have Nextpvr using a Ceton infinitv 4. And the problem I'm having is when i'm trying to watch live tv with xbmc it just says buffering 0% and nothing happens. In the settings program for NPVR I see that one of the tuners is active but nothing seems to happen.
