Hi

I have a process each night which updates my XMLTV at 1am, then a few hours later, nPVR is set to automatically update the EPG, but it never does. I can confirm that the XML is successfully updating each night, but if I don't do a manual EPG refresh, it never happens by itself.

I notice this is a bit of an ongoing issue, but I haven't been able to find a solution.

The permissions on the XML are fine, as is the folder in which it is located. The XML is complete and is definitely there, but this is showing up in the nrecord.log:

[INDENT]2013-08-09 04:02:25.031 [DEBUG][8] Checking for any XMLTV listings
2013-08-09 04:02:25.067 [DEBUG][8] Will process xmltv file: C:\Users\Steve\Dropbox\Documents\XML\icetv.xml

2013-08-09 04:02:25.097 [DEBUG][8] channelEventLists.Count=0[/INDENT]

So, yeah. Not sure what the issue is. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

I am officially at my witts end here and very frustrated. I humbly request a smart person to post an entire WiKi page for the integration of nPVR, WinTV-DCR-2650 and an XBMC environment for dummies like me. Anyway...

Live TV is the last component I need to complete my XBMC media center. I chose to switch to the WinTV-DCR-2650 for my tuner because of the success stories and I could not get my InfiniTV 4-Tuner card to work with nPVR. I went as far as a clean install of a patched Windows7 SP1 system.

I followed the WiKi Quick Start steps to a "T" to ensure all components are present for the install. Then executed NPVRSetup_2_6_2.exe. (Just so you know - when I use this 2650 with Windows Media Center I have no problems. My problem is with nPVR.)

Once installed I don't get anything under devices. I have to install the HD Home Run software to get the drivers necessary to communicate with my device. Hauppauge really dorked up there!

Moving on - after installing the HDHR software my tuner card shows up and I go to the device setup as recommended and scan for channels. After it is done on the first tuner I chose to export channels and found a bug in nPVR where it does not escape the ampersand (&) character during export and creates an invalid xml file. (A&E is the first channel error here in the US)

Once I select the second tuner it kindly allows me to copy the information from the first so I don't have to wait for it to finish. Then I go to Live TV to do a test and get nothing... a blank screen... I have to kill the application to go back and try again.

So I'm stuck. No live TV unless I want to use WMC. If there is a tutorial out there I can follow that anticipates the errors I'm having great! But if not; I challenge that smart person out there to come up with a tutorial for this configuration (as well as an InfiniTV tutorial because I'd much rather use it!)

I updated my Schedules Direct lineup and manually had NextPVR 2.6.2 (with current patches) download a fresh EPG, but it's now been on "Saving Schedules Direct listings" for about 45+ minutes.

The last modified date/time on npvr.db3 is now 30 minutes old and there is a 478KB npvr.db3-journal with the same timestamp.

I don't have any logs to post because nothing about this has been logged.

NextPVR.exe isn't *dead*, the window repaints and so on, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything useful.

If anything it looks like sqlite is stuck.


The most recent NPVR.log is from before I started this update:

I recently made some setting changes in NPVR to record from a VHS machine. I was not able to get it to work, so I changed the settings back, and managed to record the VHS Tape with Total Media Extreme.

Ever since then, there has been no audio on any of my recordings. I know its not a Hauppauge driver issue as the Total Media Extreme software has working audio. Funny thing is, I go into the HDPVR settings in NPVR, and set my audio input to RCA back and it keeps changing over to SPDIF. I seem to remember having this problem before, but not sure how to fix it.

I've never used NextPVR or GB PVR before, and I was reading posts on VideoHelp.com about IR Blasters included with Hauppauge Products and someone said that they work well with NextPVR.

Now, I want to know more about the success rates from people on this forum about getting IR Blasters included with an HD PVR or an HD PVR 2 to work with NextPVR.

I'm a former owner of a PVR-150 and I currently have an HD PVR.

However, I've NEVER been able to get the IR Blaster from either product to work properly and that's always bothered me deep down.

I have no idea what I was doing wrong and I would love input from other people if it's not too much trouble.

This is my only real beef with Hauppauge Products. Otherwise, I love them and I have previous experience using MythTv on Linux with the PVR-150.

I've had the HD PVR for 4 years now but I haven't done too much with it since then because I grew out of wanting to record television shows onto my computer and now I'm starting to get back into that.

I started wanting to record television shows onto my computer in early 2003 and started off with WinTv2000 using some really crappy Hauppauge card and lost interest in doing stuff like this around the end of 2008.

Just put in a new blackgold 3620 DVBT2 tuner to have a go at OTA HD. Battled through a few teething troubles and got it basically working, but I'm not getting any EPG data for the HD channels. I have no prior experience with HD in the UK - is the EPG missing from the broadcast stream for these channels or is it a NPVR / Blackgold / Driver / something else issue?

Does the EPG data live on the same frequency as the channel it relates to? I can see it scanning the HD frequencies in teh logs, but only finding date for a few unrelated channels.

I can no longer watch TV through NVPR.
If I attempt to change the decoder NVPR hangs as soon as I click on decoders in the settings.
I have to restart the PC tor release the program.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled NVPR and its still happening.

any ideas?

thanks in advance.

I'm pretty new to NextPVR (long time GBPVR user), I traded my HDPVR 1 for a HDPVR 2, and GBPVR doesn't support it at all, so I'm using NextPVR (let's rejoice hehe). I was able to configure NextPVR to work with the HDPVR 2, but my problem is that all recordings are about ~8888kbps video, far from the 13.5Mbps maximum bitrate. I'm unable to find the setting to increase the bitrate, can someone tell me how??

Thanks.

Hi NVPR Support

I need to re-tune NVPR as Freeview in the UK are moving some of the popular channels again.
Retuning seems to be a bit a hassle for me, as I seem to have to tune into two or three stations to receive all the channels and then some stations tuned overwrite the stronger channels from other stations.
Therefore I want to backup my old tuner data "just in case", where can I find the file please.

It would be nice if NVPR would tune channels like my Panasonic and Samsung TV's.. These tune all channels on all stations and signals available and then sort them in channel order by signal strength, is that possible??

Many thanks
Bob

Sub, when Video is playing in inset video and after my plugin issues

PluginHelperFactory.GetPluginHelper().GetPlaybackProxy().Stop();

I find that PluginHelperFactory.GetPluginHelper().GetPlaybackProxy() is not returning null and the type is still Proxy.Video and Home will continue to toggle inset video as a black screen.
