Hi,

I'm trying to set the username/password for schedules direct via the API.

I'm able to decode the username/password using

So far, I have not been able to get closed captioning to work with NextPVR. Ctrl-X brings up the Closed Captions option, but when selected, nothing happens. I'm using the Microsoft DTV-DVD Audio Decoder for MPEG1 Audio. I've also tried the LAV Audio Decoder and the AC3 Filter. Is there an audio decoder that handles closed captions for NextPVR? Closed Captions work just fine in Windows Media Center (Windows 7 Ultimate). Any ideas?

I just installed TVListings a few days ago, didn't really use it, and just now installed the latest update from yesterday (3.6.2 I think).

Bearing in mind that I am just starting to use it and could be doing something wrong, I am seeing grossly incorrect Season and Episode information coming from (I assume) theTVDB. And it's clear that theTVDB has the correct informaton.

I mostly record animated shows like The Simpsons. Some shows seem to be correct, others are not. I have gone through the motions of "Find More", selecting "TheTVDB" and then "Create Link". In some cases I just selected an episode that was clearly the correct series, in some cases I selected the exact episode that I was looking at in the listings.

I set up a recurring recording for Bob's Burgers and it seems to be correct. It shows the episode "Topsy" in tonight's listings as Season 3 Episode 16 which is correct. However, The Simpsons episode tonight at 8PM EST is "Black-Eyed Please" which is Season 24 Episode 15. TheTVDB lists this as Season 24 Episode 15:

http://thetvdb.com/?tab=episode&seriesid...7349&lid=7

but TVListings guide is showing it as Season 5 Episode 58 which is not even possible as there are never 58 episodes in a season.

Any idea what is going on here? I'm hopeful that scheduling the recordings in TVListings is going to incorporate this info into the file name (though I don't know this to be the case). But regardless of that having accurate season and episode information helps me determine what I need to record and what I do not.

Thanks.

edit 1:

I get my guide info with the donator's version of mc2xml using the newer (not legacy) microsoft service. I found an entry in my xmltv.xml file for this Simpsons show:

<programme start="20130310200000 -0400" stop="20130310203000 -0400" channel="I5.28458701.microsoft.com">

So it seems like this xmltv entry shows Season 5 Episode 58:

<episode-num system="onscreen">558</episode-num>


So I suppose this is where it is coming from, not from theTVDB, unless TVListings is updating the XML file.

So long story short, what's the best way to get accurate Season and Episode info?

Thanks again.


EDIT 2: Latest NPVR (2.5.9 I believe), Latest TV Listings (3.6.2), OS is Win 8 x64

Hi all-

Is there a way to get Pandora to fire up from within NPVR, a second goal would be to be able to use the IR remote to close Pandora and be back in the NPVR interface (for best WAF : )

I see that a util or plug-in was removed in early 2012 or so due to Pandora changes. I saw a reference to use "the Kylo full-screen browser" but that was a bit old also, and I haven't been able to figure out what that reference was pointing to or how it worked.



Thank you!

I have an MVP, windows 7 with NPVR on it and server set to 1. My MVP says there are no servers.

I guess its a firewall issue. What do I need to set the windows firewall to pass for the incoming and outgoing rules?

I'm sure this is covered in a post somewhere but I failed to locate it.

Also there is a list of device MAC addresses on the setup MVP tab, it has 2 devices listed, how are these used? where do the come from?

TIA

I did my first manual recording for 2 hours. The file was almost 10 gigs which is about 10 times larger than I wanted it to be. How do I change this?

I am trying to set up NPVR to work with a Hauppauge HVR-950Q so I can use it as a backend for XBMC Frodo in my HTPC.

System: Zotac 1D11 with Win7 Pro. XBMC Frodo. I am using the Lifehacker setup guide. http://lifehacker.com/5981757/how-to-wat...dia-center

I Installed NPVR and updated with the latest patches. I selected the QAM tuner and it successfully found available channels. I tried live TV and video works great but no audio. After trying the included audio codecs without success, I installed SAF6. I still cannot get audio.

My questions are:

Which of the five audio types does the 950Q output? I assume only one and I should disable the others? Are there other codecs besides the ones supplied with NPVR and the SAF6 codecs that I should try?

For information, Windows Media Center works perfectly with the 950Q; scans all QAM channels and displays good video and audio. I prefer XBMC however and want to get live TV and DVR working in it.

Thanks.

i know this was mentioned a while ago and Sub was going to look at it, but has anything changed?

I have several DVB-T and one DVB-S cards. I've got it scheduled to run in the wee small hours but just occasionally one of the German channels slaps in a repeat of one of my season recordings that clashes with the OTA update and kills the recording service. I'm one version behind but figure I'll wait for the next update, now.

I am new to NextPVR, so I may have missed something. I followed the setup guide in the sticky perfectly and was able to scan and find all my channels. I think I am having a codec issue. When I switch to Live TV I simply get a black screen and no audio.

Hi

Trying NextPVR for the first time and installed on a XP SP3 PC. Installed all pre-requsites and under devices I can see my one card. I've done a scan and mapped EPG to channels. However when I go to try and watch live tv I just get an error 'Unable to communicate with recording service'. Also when trying to start recording service from tray icon it gives an error. I have DVB Web scheduler running from a previous htpc setup but that shouldn't be interfering.

I'm just trying to get basic setup working i.e. watching live tv on the same PC as the DVB card. Log file attached as txt (only 7k).

Thanks
