I have an oldish Savvy hybrid usb tuner. When I go to device setup and scan, nothing happens - no channels are detected. The program crashes when I cancel the scan.
This is from the log file :

here's something I'm working on, looking for alpha testers in about a week or two. must be brave and be able to follow instructions to setup IIS (and have a computer with IIS...).
the first alpha won't have mobile support, but the first beta will, will be focusing on the core functionality for full webapp at first, and trying to make nextpvr as headless as possible, you can configure pretty much everything from this webconsole, except for scanning for channels (hopefully i can work with sub later to add this, i have been bugging him a lot already ).
most of the work is done for the alpha, i just have to finalize the guide screen and the dashboard and fix some browser issues. and do some more unit testing.
system requirements would be
- IIS (only for pre final, IIS Express would probably work, havent tested it)
- .net 4
- Chrome, Latest Firefox, IE 9+ (maybe limited support for IE8, no support for earlier versions of IE, its using a lot of CSS3 which isnt supported in old browsers)
a cool feature: User support, where each user can have their own channels
A user can number channels differently to the system channel numbers, for example I have TV3 SD and TV3 HD, on one client i would like TV3 HD to be channel 3 and on another client that doesnt support hd i would like TV3 SD to be channel 3.
A user can also disable channels they don't want to see.
channel groups
a user can make their own channel groups eg create a "Favourite" channel group which only they see and list their favourite channels.
there are also "Shared" channel groups which users can subscribe to , so a user can just subscribe to a channel group "Sports" and not maintain it them self. So when a new sports channel becomes available the admin user would add this channel to the master "Sports" channel group then it would appear in everyones "Sports" channel group.
recording directories
each user can manage their own recording directories for example I might create a directory "Docos" and i can select to record something to this directory where no other user will have access to it.
There can also be multiple "Shared" recording directories where anyone can record to these directories and anyone can view them, so I might record a program everyone might want to watch to the "Shared - Movies" directory for example
the only client to support this so far is xbmc (slightly modified version of subs addon, will be requesting a code merge later to include the 2 minor changes needed into subs official addon) and of course this webconsole. all this user stuff works pretty well in NextPVR, where user directories just appear as "Extra Recording Directories" if running NextPVR gui, so thanks to sub to making NextPVR so flexible
ps forgive the dashboard screenshot, thats old and I've been working right to left on the pages (guide and dashboard left to go).
Hi
sub says dont struggle for more than an hour.. im still struggling after 4
After disk problems I had to do a clean install of XP and NPVR, and back with seemingly the same old problems !

I used to have the NMT on a static IP (192.168.1.3) - it requests this from DHCP server
I changed it to static on 192.168.1.175
The router gives out IPs on the network starting 192.168.1.100
I can start NPVR on my PCH with the browser but not with the mvpmc share
I edited a username and password into the npvr.cgi file (on my Linux machine)
but that didnt work so I am back to:
mount -t cifs //192.168.1.150/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc -o username=root,rw
(xxx.150 is the ip of my PC)
I have guest account enabled
Ive tried Firewall on and off altho there are entries for NextPVR and NRecord.exe
I've recently migrated to nPVR and been enjoying it problem free for several weeks, however, last night, whilst recording two shows on the same tuner (shared a mux) it fell over two minutes in. Apparently due to a NDigitalHost.exe application error:
[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]
This USB stick worked like a champ with NextPVR. I had tried to get it to work with BeyondTV 4.9, but wasn't supported. Tried Blaze (which came with the stick) - which is a total piece of garbage software (and support was even worse). Arcsoft TotalMedia was slightly better, but still terrible. But, hold on a minute - got it working with NextPVR in like 20 minutes - and NextPVR is free software - what is not to love about this, great software, great UI, totally open .xml for customizations - I think I died and went to heaven! I got this USB stick for less than $20 - now despite Comcast and their crapola about needing an external box (liars!), this little stick managed to pull in all the clear QAM channels so I am back on track with taping my standard programs.
I live in Northern California, and have the most basic Comcast cable package, btw. Get network TV in HD (and lots of PBS stations I never even heard of). And Discovery channel is back - woo hoo!
I can't seem to get bulk map to work. I have an HDHomerun Prime, and when I set up that device, there's no option to configure a channel provider. I'm using mc2xml. I went to the Channels section, and then clicked bulk map, and properly assigned the first channel. It then asked if I want to have the rest of the channels auto-populated, and I clicked yes. I clicked OK and then Update EPG. The channels do not auto-populate though. Am I doing something wrong?
When using DVBGuide to grab my EPG data, I have to use version 0.9.5 or lower, I can't use the latest beta as this uses XMLTV 1.1, which causes NPVR to bomb out with a nasty error message (detailing it doesn't support 1.1, but in a very technical fasion)
I'm not sure what the benefits of 1.1 are, however it would be good if it supported the file format so that we can keep DVBGuide up to date (as the guy is dealing nicely with the new FreeSat changes)
It's really hard to work out which the FreeSat channels are, plus it would be great to have the scan list so that it grabs the right channels for the location (eg: I'm in Yorkshire, so I want BBC1 Yorks, ITV W Yorks, BBC2 England etc)
Also, it would be great if it was possible to map the channel numbers according to the FreeSat EPG data.
DVBGuide generates the channel numbers correctly in the ChannelInfo.xml file, so I wonder if this would be of use?
I think that part of the channel switching speed issue is a basic flaw in the way the xbmc pvr demux works which is outside sub's control. Here is a demo comparison of xbmc pvr vs x-newa both using pretty he same web server backend http://youtu.be/ptuuDKzrV4M Fundamentally a python addon should be much slower than the integrated cpp plugin yet the plugin consistantly takes twice as long (8 seconds vs 4) This is networked via wifi with beta1 but since the http streaming is the same I think it is a valid test. I have timeshifting off in case that was slowing things down.
Edit: This is compiled with the 'faster' ffmpeg switch reference on the XBMC forums.
