I'm trying to get NPVR to work on its own prior to using it within XBMC but I'm not having much luck. I followed the Getting Started steps under Settings > About but when I go to Live TV it says, "Unable to find available capture device."

P.S. I tried to upload my NPVR.log and NRecord.log files but the Manage Attachments dialog says, "Invalid File"
P.P.S. I meant to post this in the support forum. Sorry!

Hello.

I am trying out the latest NextPVR v2.6.2 for my new WinTV-HVR-2250 card in my old, updated Windows XP Pro. SP3 machine. I have many newbie questions since I am having a hard time to get used to this after using DVB Viewer Pro with my very old HDTV tuner cards.

1. Where are the GUI controls in video for me to pause, skip, status, scrollbar, etc. with a mouse and keyboard since I watch on my computer and its small 19" LCD 5:4 monitor.
2. Where are the hot keys list so I can change/assign to Next PVR?
3. How do I go between fullscreen and windowed screen on the fly since I watch on my computer? DVB Viewers and WinTV lets me double click on video to change the display mode.
4. How can I tell NextPVR to keep its automatic live TV recording? I always want to delete them manually.
5. How can I find out my signal strength on the current channel?
6. Is there an easier way to reorganize/sort the scanned channel listings like they on DTVs and tuner boxes?
7. Is there an audio equalizer and picture adjuster so I can customize my setups?
8. In Live TV mode and playing recorded videos, I cannot seem to skip back, forward, etc. I can't go anywhere.

I am sure I will find more issues. I am so spoiled by DVB Viewer Pro. Thank you in advance.

Hi

I have a problem with my npvr.db3 file. I created some channel groups previously and now I can't delete them, they just keep coming back.

I was wondering if a kind developer would delete the groups directly from the file & send it back to me. Having to sort 1000 channels again is not something I want to repeat.

Many thanks.

I’m running Win7 home Pro
My system is Media PC to Yamaha AMP to TV
When I manually wake up the PC to watch my recordings NPVR comes up small in top-right corner of TV
Yes I have located the fill screen box and put a tick in it.
Even rebooted the PC after doing so and all options seem to fail to resolve the problem!

Anyone got any ideas.

I much prefer movies to TV shows but it takes time to scan the TV guide for ones I might like. Is there an easy way to show all the movies on all channels, using a genre filter perhaps?

Greetings,

I'm looking at installing an SSD and a clean install of Windows on my PVR PC. I am currently running NPVR 2.6.2 on Win 7 64bit. Is there an easy way to migrate my files (DB would be good, but channel line up is a biggie for me)? When I did this with my GBPVR/WXP machine all I did was zip the GBPVR folder and restore it over the top of a fresh install of the same version, easy-peasy. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

I am at my wits' end with the second tuner on a pvr-500 under NPVR. I have two cards installed (same thing happens with only one card) in a newly-purchased A75F2-A2 mobo. The intent is to use NPVR to serve Raspberry Pies that the kids will use as their front ends, and this is why I pulled out these cards from "storage."

In GBPVR we had the option for the first tuner and the second tuner with FM--but not so under NPVR. I have installed SoftPVR (WinTV 2.8a), all of the requisite s/w according to the wiki, and the latest drivers available from Hauppauge. But I can get only one of the tuners on each of the cards to scan successfully for channels. (Devices 1 and 3 do not find channels, while devices 2 and 4 do. Devices 1 and 2 are one cards tuners, while 2 and 4 are the other card's.)

Could there be something obvious I've missed in setting up these oldies but goodies?

thanks,
greg

I am try to "The Nature of Things" and every time it records a show hard to tell if imagegrablite is working properly.

once Npvr records the show, I thought the batch process would auto name and add metadata or the nfo files needed for xbmc. I don't know if it is working properly.

I have mce buddy converting and moving it to my library.


Acording tvdb, the show "The nature of things" doesnt use conventional seasonal numbering, instead of S## it uses the S(year) for example S2010E2.



attatched are the npvr logs...

I seem to be unable to save any changes. I press the save button to try and save SMTP settings and it does nothing. Also if I try to add a user it does nothing.

Tried IE9,IE10, and latest Chrome

I don't see anything in the logs. Any thoughts on the best way to start debugging this?

Thanks

Quite a while back sub added the function to continue the recording if the NPVR server restarts, which
mine does every day at 9:58am. In the past it worked well, providing two recordings in case of a reboot
spanning 10am. I am just curious as to why I ALSO get a failed recording message?
Does anyone know how to postpone taskscheduler until AFTER the recording is complete?
I thought these settings did it - but is still reboots. Can I connect to the NPVR RecordingService somehow? k
