Martin, with reference to this thread http://forums.gbpvr.com/showthread.p...-advice-needed!
it seems that I have to move my Digital Devices card to my testrig for now, but I'll have to add two more instances of Network Recorder to my htpc. Is there an easy way to just copy one of the existing with all the channels and settings?
with the help of Fred250 (well he did 99% of the work, I just hacked it in a couple of places), Ive got the 2 sample files from stustunz and smacrae working with correct skipping
We need to clean up the code and either get sub to implement it into NextPVR for the next release or get it into NEWA (I don't want to have users install an additional windows application to get this client working, thats why I've been using the standard web service calls and asking sub to add more where they weren't available). However worst case scenario, I can release a windows service that you could install if we can't get it into NEWA or nextpvr.
this lets us to second accurate skips, which also helps with comskip support (this was low priority due to the fact my skips often were 10 seconds or so out).
this however probably wont work with live tv, however I've not really implemented timestreaming yet (this will likely be added in version 2 of the app, main focus is recordings and scheduling recordings + live untimeshifted tv).
Attempting to make the leap as a long time user of BeyondTV to NextPVR. One of the things BTV had was the ability to create recording pools which could contain any number of drives/folders and BTW would treat them as a single source for recording storage. I searched the forums and found a few things but couldn't find anyting recent. Does anyone know if what is described in this thread: http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...irectories
is built into the 2.6.2 build by default? The dll timestamp of what's included in 2.6.2 is newer than what is in the zip file.
Perhaps there's a newer solution and my searching is just lousy. Any help would be much appreciated!!
I have NextPVR 2.6.2 (with only one patch, "fix glitch in one recording caused when another recording starts"). I'm using an HDHomeRun, using its newest drivers/firmware, 20130328. I'm using it on my Clear QAM cable system, Time Warner in Columbus Ohio.
I am having serious trouble recording programs on just one channel, 99-3. Only on -3. Recording on 99-1 seems to work just fine.
I actually wrote to the HDHomeRun people, because I thought it was an HDHomeRun issue, but they discovered that NextPVR is messing around with selecting program PIDs about a minute into the recording.
I set NextPVR normally to record 1 minute before a show and 2 minutes after. When I schedule a recording for channel 99-3, it records for about that first minute, and then, mystically, the recording just kind of gets stuck. For an hour long program, which should be 1 hour and 3 minutes, I'll end up with a file that has about 1 minute of content in it. NextPVR's logs don't show anything unusual: it starts the recording as normal, and attempts to stop it as usual too. But the resulting file is very short.
Here's part of the log:

This is an interesting case. I scheduled a show to record at 3PM, and then 4PM, so the 3PM show would be 2:59-4:02, and the 3PM would be from 3:59-4:02. The first recording did as described: it recorded about a minute, and then hung there. But when NextPVR woke up at 3:59 to start the next recording, it caused _both_ recordings to work correctly. And, oddly enough, the _second_ recording went off without a hitch. The first recording, when played in MPC-HC, showed a length of 1:02:59, but it acted very oddly when I seeked through it. I ran it through VideoRedo's QuickStream fix, and it quickly dropped down to about 3 minutes. You can see it hiccup about a minute in and then switch to recording the end of the program, effectively having recorded 2:59-3:00, and then 3:59-4:01.59.
And, like I said, the _second_ recording went off without a hitch.
I had enabled the advanced logging on my HDHomeRun, and Silicon Dust provided this log information:
[next post]
I don't want to completely reset my NextPVR's database, if I can help it. I have a few long-running shows that I have set to "record all", and I use NextPVR's de-duping to only grab new episodes. I'd lose that if I started from scratch.
I did go into config and actually removed the channel from the guide and devices, and then re-scanned for channels, added it back it, and re-mapped Schedules Direct. The same behavior happened after all of that.
This has actually been going on at least since Fall 2012. I just dealt with it last year and lost the programs I wanted to record on this channel (there was basically only one), but I'd like to get it captured this year, so I'd like to get this figured out.
This is a little more difficult because I can't capture the logs from the HDHomeRun myself, but I can try to get Silicon Dust to provide any information that is needed.
Sometime during the last weeks my Digital Devices CT tuner card has stopped working in my htpc. Initially I suspected the card, but the card works in my test computer so it is ok. I have installed a fresh Windows 7 x64 Ultimate on my htpc, I have downloaded and installed the latest drivers from Digital Devices but no joy. Npvr says "device failed to start" when I try to scan or watch a channel from that card (dual dvb-c tuner) but it works great in my npvr-test computer, using the same windows and the same drivers, slightly different motherboard thou.
I'm at loss here, where to I start looking to find out why the card no longer works in my htpc?
I tried installing the app on a new BD-F5900 Blu-ray player. The initial install went ok.
However, when I tried to go back into the app, I ran into the same problem that JonnyCam reported with his BD-F6500:
Quote:When I entered next time got a black screen with 'Please wait while plugin loads'
The only way to fix this was reset the smart hub settings and download again.
I then used it for a little but, and the next time I entered again, back to the same plugin screen
Just deleting the app, powering off the unit, powering it back on, and then re-downloading doesn't fix the problem. I have to actually go to the settings, Smart features, then select Reset Smart Hub. Then accept the terms and conditions again. Then log back in as develop, set the server IP, and re-download. A bit of a pain... :mad:
I'm in canada and have been running fine since the last update. A few weeks ago, two of my regularly watched analog cable channels began recording as static, with a hint of audio from an adjacent channel. I cannot think of anything that has changed with my setup and was wondering if there was a way to somehow tweak channel tuning.
I'm using a Hauppauge PVR 500 to tune these channels.
I have been trying to get the Live TV to work for a couple days now. Strangely I do see .ts files being created in my buffer directory. But I never see live tv, a couple times I could hear a word as the channel started but no picture ever shows up. Recording seems to work, at least it is creating a file in the correct directory. Unless the DigitalPVR log is in another directory, I am not creating one. Attached are the log files for NPVR, NRecord & web. Please let me know if you need any more information. My eventual goal is to stream to the XBMC HTPC's around the house, but one step at a time.
Until yesterday I had problems with npvr and kernelbase.dll, I got tired of that and did a fresh Windows 7-installation.
Now I have installed all required software, npvr 2.6.2, I have found the hardware and found all channels.
But when I choose "Live TV" it say "Please wait..." and stops working.
When I choose "TV Guide" and then choose a channel and click "watch" the same thing happens.
