I am using Windows 8 and the latest version of NextPVR. I extracted the TVlistings.zip file into the PVR directory and have enable the pluggin in the software but the listing and recording are not showing up on the main menu. I have re-read the wiki several times and still cannot figure out what is wrong. Is there something else I need to do to get this to work?

I am looking for help with a project. We cut the cable three years ago replacing our terrestrial provider with an antenna, five DTVPal DVRs, and five Insignia BD players that streamed Netflix and played media off an attached USB disk. Later, we added Roku streamers. We use the Rokus for Netflix, Playon, and Plex plus some other stuff.

I have added a HDHR3 to my configuration. I would like to use it to record programming off the air into a folder that Plex scans so that family favorites are stored in one location rather than on each DVR.

Plex, Playon, and the DVR software will be running on a single PC running Windows 8 (Playon is Windows only). I don't need to interact with the DVR from a television set -- I just want the files to show up in Plex.

nPVR was recommended as the best DVR for this purpose. I'm having difficulty making it work.

I have installed the HDHR3 and am able to preview my OTA tuners using the included Windows application. I have installed nPVR and it sees the HDHR3 as six devices: ATSC-0, QAM-0, ATSC-1, QAM-1, HDHR0, and HDHR-1. Of these, I get channels when I scan on ATSC-0 and ATSC-1. The channels found match my channel lineup, so I assume those are the devices I should be using.

When I open nPVR and click TV Guide, I see a list of these channels with no descriptions. If I double click a channel brogramming block, I get a dialog that offers to record/quick record/watch/close. If I choose record, I get a dialog with record option. When I look in \windows\temp I see a new zero byte length file called (no show details)_20130713_08300900.ts, but that seems to be all that happens. If I choose watch from the same dialog, the header of my nPVR window is changed to the name of the selected station, but the screen is black. The program seems to be busy (it takes a moment to get its attention if I try to drag the window to a new location or right click to get to that menu), so I assume I have to change settings.

In the About section of settings, it lists the version as 2.62. It had warned me that it needed the DirectX runtime installed, but that went away when I installed that. I haven't changed anything under General. The UI mode is PVR. The Devices section lists the tuners I mentioned earlier and shows \\hushpc\npvr as the database share. Under Recording, I changed the directory to MyVideos. Under Media Folders, I changed the Video Folders to folders on my PC that contain folders. Decoders is default -- EVR video renderer, ffdshow decoder. Everything else is default. I have lots of logs. They are too long to post in whole. If you can tell me what to look for, I can post that.

Thank you for reading this.

I think i might have a bad setting or something. I am playing around with my xbmc on atv2 and the video is beautiful but i have no audio. All i get is a static sound nothing else. Is there a setting i am missing. Please let me know

Sorry this is a dumb question because i am the only one that cant find it. Where can i download the zip to install x-newa i cant seem to find it anywhere. i read the sticky and there really doesnt provide a download

I have 2 major problems with Live TV:

1. When I switch channels the system seems to freeze. When I quit Live TV and re-open Live TV with another channel, that channel is working fine. But again, when switchting to another channel the systeem seems to freeze. When I say freeze I only mean Live TV, not the complete system.

2. Live TV is not running smootly, it's like there are to little fps or something like that. I've no other codecs available, I couldn't find how to install them?!

I'm running the newest version of NextPVR with all (5) patches on Windows 8 and using a Digital Devices Cine C/T tuner.
Any ideas?

I have been trying to set up a generic usb dvb-t tuner stick (realtek 2832u) when I try to setup the channels and seems to hang while scanning. I have had a dig around the forum for some of the entries in the log like 'No BDA capture filter for this device' and 'ConnectPins failed: hr = 80040217' but I did not find any solutions.

Hi,

I've just enabled remote streaming, and I'm able to stream from home to my office which is fantastic.

However, I was a little surprised that I was able to open a stream from VLC, and have the channel start playing when not logged into NEWA.

I seem to be able to do this from any machine, without logging in.

Is this the intended behaviour?

Hi,

running windows 7 with Drivepool type software.

My life TV buffer is on the drive pool - should I consider moving it to a 'regular' hard drive or is it ok where it is?

Currently finding it takes 7-10 seconds to initiate the first channel when loggin on to XBMC (once addon has loaded etc) and 5-6 seconds on channel changes.

I also have a problem where Live TV doesn't work at all from startup - keeps saying tuner not available.

Thanks

Nevermind, think i figured it out. mods, please delete.

I have a Hauppauge WinTV PVR PCI II TV Tuner, and I'm trying to setup nPVR with this device attached to a VCR. I setup SoftPVR, and I am able to view the device in the settings menu, but scanning for cable or antenna channels won't find any channels. My VCR is powered on and running during the scan, so channel 3 should be giving a signal. I can't figure out how to setup a channel manually. Is what I'm trying possible?

My computer is running Windows 7 x32 bit.
