Very strange, as this has been working fine for 4+ months. I wake up today expecting ~90 pending recordings, but only 23 show up. It ends up that only individually selected recordings are showing, and the recurring recordings aren't set at all. Yesterday I had some for today scheduled, namely Avengers & Ultimate Spider-Man for my son, and that's what clued me in. All the recurring recordings still show up on the recurring page.
I just tried deleting and re-adding a recurring recording, but nothing is scheduled. Logs included, can upload db3 files if necessary.
Bit of a weird bug i have here. When loading a channel in xbmc the channel buffers and gets stuck at <10% it varys at which % it stops on. Now if i stop that channel and reload it it instantly changes the channel. If im then in a working channel and press channel up the picture disrupts and gets stuck on buffering. Again if i stop the playback and re-load it, it works perfectly.
Ive tried it in NPVR as well same problem (obviously does not show buffering).
This also happens for remote clients (other xbmc) I did just login to the web client and seems to work ok.
Im 100% its not signal related due to when using the tuner with the software it came with it works flawlessly.
Setup :- Win7, XBMC 12.1, PCTV - nanoStick T2 290e HDTV USB TV Tuner.
any help with this would be amazing as im losing my $hit with this and the GF is not impressed!
I have recently moved from using Argus TV to Next PVR due to instability issues. Next PVR seems to have cured all my issues and is exactly what I was after. One issue I have spotted is that the file size for the recordings has drastically increased since I swapped. The recording of exactly the same 15 minute radio programme used to be about 30Mb....it's now 120Mb. The same is true for TV programmes which used to be about 250Mb per hour, but are now 1Gb. From what I have read I understand I can't influence the quality of the recording, so am I missing something?
My set up has remained the same since I was on Argus TV, with the same BDA based USB digital tuner.
I haven't use xbmc much for live tv lately, but I thought I'd try and it ended up creating a 40GB live tv file that filled up my SSD. My client was even powered off. I didn't notice until my logs were useless except I ended up with an interactive dialog which was quite difficult to get rid of on my backend. It's small but can this message be suppressed?
Had NextPvr and BeyondTV running side by side for several months. No problem. The NPVR server was working with a Silicon Dust three tuner HomeRun Prime which recorded all my encrypted channels.
The BeyondTV server was using a Silicon Dust two turner HDHomerun which was recording several Clear QAM major network channels.
This set up worked fine .. Recently I turned off the BTV server and set up the NPVR server to access both the 3-tuner HomeRun Prime (cable card) and the 2-tuner HDhomerun tuner.
Now I am getting the dreaded "No errors, but no data delivered. This is usually because the device failed to lock a signal." on a regular basis.
Checking my devices in NPVR shows I have 5 tuners but they are all attached to the HDHomerun Prime which only has 3 physical tuners.
The 5 listed turners show active and are sharing the same models for 2 of them.
And I have several other tuners that show up as enabled but doing a channel scan on any of them shows no channels.?? I've seen articles recently about the FCC now allowing Cable Providers to encrypt the formerly clear-QAM channels and I'm wondering if maybe that's why I can't tune any of the tuners other than the cable card one? I'm also confused about all the tuners showing .. I only have a total of 5 tuners, 3 are from the HomeRun Prime cable card and two are from the HDhomerun. I see the HomeRun Prime tuners showing up multiple times which is weird.
Bottom line is that I'm not getting any conflict notices .. BUT if I schedule more than 3 tuners I get the aforementioned "No errors, but no data delivered" Recently I got a warning message from my BeyondTV service showing a ton of new channels were added and some others moved. Normally BTV handles all that automatically. But since that message I no longer can use BTV to watch the clear QAM channels.
I'm hoping that the problem is some kind of error with the HDhomerun tuner set up. But I'm not having any success getting them to work. Here's what my NPVR device setup looks like: [ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]
I just notice my 3rd pic tuner wasn't working and had a look in the logs where I found something odd. Wondering if it's tuner/driver issue or program error:

I've been using MythTV for a while very successfully. However, as I/we do a lot of channel hopping it aint the fastest in switching channels - about 14 seconds per switch. Short of adding in code myself I don't think it's on the cards to be addressed.
I've been trying to get nextpvr to work in a simlilar manner to my MythTV setup - I have several rpis with rasbmc on as clients. However, I've been trying for a couple of days now to get it to work. All I seem to get is pvr connection lost and/or no pvr client addon started.
I've sifted through dozens of web pages and tried their fixes but none hve worked for me. I've reinstalled from scratch in case there was some left over on the systems but still no joy.
I have been playing with X-NEWA and so far I think its great. One cosmetic thing I noticed was the free space graph doesn't display properly. See attached screenshot.
First let me say iGL is great, and with most current programming works fantastic in terms of renaming for purposes of XBMC scraping.
I'm having some problems with some syndicated kids shows on German television. I use the --nfo and --rename tags. The shows have subtitles and can be found on tvdb, will pull art but will then rename the file with a fictional S##E## nomenclature, and not create an nfo file. XBMC is then unable to scrape the file, meaning it won't show up in the XBMC TV Shows database.
If I use only the --nfo tag it works fine, creating an nfo file that XBMC will use to populate the TV Shows database with a fictional episode number. But this is not satisfactory because for most other shows the --rename tag operates much better.
My understanding from reading some related threads (see, e.g., http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post447258 ) is that that where true S##E## info cannot be provided by tvdb, that iGL should create an nfo file rather than creating a false, unscrapeable filename. That would certainly be my preference, however that does not seem to be happening.
Let me know if you need some more info, logs, or a db, or if I haven't explained this well. Getting these kids shows properly imported into XBMC is one of the final hurdles I'm facing with respect to attaining a fully functional XBMC.
Here is a sample log file (run from the command line) for one such show, Wickie und die starken Männer. However, I'm getting the same results with several other kids' shows on the same channel:
