I am having a problem with NextPVR and the recoding directory. I searched this forum and the internet, and found a similar post, but didn't see an answer. I have a Hauppauge HD PVR hooked up to a Win 7 desktop. I am trying to use my Synology DS413 for the recording directory. I made sure that the user account on the Win 7 system has read and write access to the recording directory on the Synology. When I setup a recording, everything appears to work fine, but no recordings make it to the Synology. When I check the logs, I see an error of
Invalid file passed to StartPostProcessing(): 'Z:\Live_Recordings\News All Weekend\News All Weekend_20130707_19001930.ts'
I can record to the local drive just fine.
The z: drive is mapped, and I am able to write to it from Windows. Does anybody have any ideas on how to get this to work?
I have a new HDHomeRun Prime connected to Dell/Win7 PC running NextPVR. In the NextPVR settings/device setup window, when I run the scan-for-channels function for any of the tuners, the result is an empty list. I attached the log file, which contains numerous error messages related to a string length parameter less than 0. Can anyone suggest what might be going wrong here?
Initially I thought I had this working but it appears it doesn't. Not sure what I'm missing here. Trying to remove characters from channel names which are invalid for file names...
Code:
char[] InvalidPathChars = System.IO.Path.GetInvalidPathChars();
...
foreach (String chanName in chanNamesList)
{
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(chanName);
foreach (char item in InvalidPathChars)
sb.Replace(item.ToString(), "");
String chanLogoFilename = sb.ToString();
Log.WriteLine("GenerateChannelLogosFile() - Looking for logo: " + chanLogoFilename);
// Append .jpg, .png and .gif in turn to try to find channel logo image file
...
}
However when I look at the logging for the channel 5*, I see...
Code:
GenerateChannelLogosFile() - Looking for logo: 5*
...so the asterisk obviously isn't being removed and my 5.png file obviously isn't being found. I just can't see what isn't working - anyone any ideas?
Hello! Was brought to the forum with a problem of mine. I have setup NextPVR on a server and it is working fine. Can watch TV locally on that machine. It is using Windows 7 as the operating system.
The problem is this, I try to connect my other XBMC machines to that NextPVR-server, I am able to connect to it but when I try to watch a channel it says "Tuner not available" and when I look in the logfile for NextPVR (web.log) it says;
Code:
2013-07-05 20:28:03.413 [DEBUG][4] Got Web Request (172.18.52.1): /live channel=2&client=XBMC-285d68e807ad4a7aa1c4dc1ce6b52f33

The version of NextPVR is 2.6.2, XBMC is 12.2 and the NextPVR addon is 1.6.4. Thanks for any help in the matter.
I've got 2 directv hd boxes in 1 room. I currently have one of those boxes feeding a Colossus card via HDMI and using NPVR against it. The Hauppauge IR blaster changes the channel. All works fine.
If I were to put a second Colossus card into the same PC and have it fed from the other directv box, would that work? I'm especially confused about how the IR blaster(s) would work.
BTW, I do have access to a USB-UIRT if that piece of equipment is necessary.
but I'm lost. When I setup my SA 8300 ((Hauppauge WinTV-7164 Analog Capture) and click on the Channel Changer setting, I can find no entry for USB-UIRT. I know that for Sage I have a directory called USB_UIRT Transceiver in SageTV/SageTV/Common/RemoteCodecs but there is no executable there.
I am so lost - I'm sorry if it's staring me in the face but I've searched for hours and can find nothing to help me - older postings say one has to use an external program to enable it but when I saw that support was now built in, I thought I would not have to.
When I use my remote to change the channel, the channel number changes onscreen along with the description of the program (from the epg listings) but no signal goes to the through the USB-UIRT to the box.
Please can someone help me - I'm so lost and confused that I have no idea what to try next.
I am traveling, so I grabbed my NMT & copied some programs I had recorded to my laptop. I updated the NPVR install on my laptop to the latest & upped the number of servers in Settings/Clients to one. When I try to start the service, I get this:
[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]
I added a NetworkRecorder using Martin's plug-in so I would have a valid device & added a fake channel. When I try to start the service, I still get the same error.
I know I've had this working with this laptop in the past at some point.
Logs are attached.
If you can't view the image it says the service can't be started because it is either disabled or it doesn't have any enabled devices associated with it. (How do I enlarge the image?)
What I want: additional sort option to sort recordings by recurrence_oid; this would have the effect of listing all single recordings (recurrence_oid=0) first. In the sort popup just call it "Sort by Recording Type", or "Single Recordings First", something like that (the secondary sort should be by date).
Why? Sometimes I'll page through the program guide for the upcoming week or two and look for movies I want to record, hitting Quick Record as I find them. When I'm done, I'd like to see a list of what all I set to record (see if I missed one, or got two of something, etc.). I first thought to ask for some sort of filtered list, then realized sorting by recurrence_oid would work perfectly and not require any extra screens, menus or keys.
