According to the OTA EPG on PBS1 (BBC-A) mux, the End Of The World takes place around 1am on 24th October 2012 - no further program info after then.
I have reloaded the EPG twice this morning but no change!
Anybody else getting this problem?
Currently in both NPVR and also using the XBMC plugin, I notice that my channels are not sorted by number but by name -- so in my case I've got KABC first (channel 7 locally) and then about 2/3rds through the list I've got KNBC (channel 4) and somewhere between the two is KCBS (channel 2).. Is it at all possible to re-sort the channel list by numeric channel number (e.g. as shown below :
Is there a key command in NPVR to step through (or select) the audio stream track? I know how to do this with the right mouse button. But, I want to use the "sound" button on the remote. I think I know how to set this up, but I haven't been able to find the commands.
I'm looking to do this because US broadcasters are now required to add an audio channel with a description of the action to new shows as an aid to the visually impaired. It appears that they made the voice-over channel the first or default audio track. This is fine for the visually impaired, but is annoying to others and resulted in a very poor WAF.
I can select the standard audio channel with a mouse, but with Comskip running, it resets to the default track after each commercial skip. Also, older programs don't have this feature. So now there is a need to continuously reselect the audio track.
There may be some better ways to work around this and all ideas are welcome.
Is there a way to get the recordings list to refresh and show In-Progress recordings? I have waited several minutes and it doesn't seem to update on its own even though it is showing the recording in-progress in the right upper corner of the screen (above "Next Recording" entry). I have to exit XBMC and restart to get it to show in the recordings list.
Also, when watching an in-progress recording the total length of the recording does not continuously update. It does update when you skip past the original length (when you started watching it) but if you catch up to the current time of recording it kicks you out of playback and considers it watched and you can't resume. Is there any way around this issue?
Download / Source Code located at github. Click the "Downloads" button on that page to grab the latest version.
Description
Simple little tool for reencoding your recordings after they have finished recording, will update your NPVR database with the new filename and delete the original recording.
It uses Handbrakecli.exe to do the encoding (which is the bulk of the download).
Why Would You Use It?
# If you wanted to convert your ts files to a easier to use format like MKV.
# If you had a device that couldn't playback ts files
# If you wanted to store your recordings in a format that used less space
How To Use
1. Download from github
2. Extract to your "scripts" directory in NPVR (in Windows 7 location is -> C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Scripts)
extraction should put PostProcessing.bat into the directory C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Scripts and a subdirectory called "NextPVREncoder" into that directory
3. Open NextPvrEncoder.exe.config in your favourite text editor (I use notepad++), change "connstr" value if your database isnt located to "C:\Users\Public\NPVR\npvr.db3"
4. Your done.
NOTE: If you already have a PostProcessing.bat file, you will need to make a backup of that and combine the two files
Features
# Will queue recordings for reencoding, so if a encoding is already taking place when another recording finishes, the new recording will be added to the queue and processed after the other one is completed. This stops you from having too many encodings happening at once.
To Keep Original Files
Open NextPvrEncoder.exe.config and set "deleteoriginal" to "false"
This isn't a big util, I don't expect a lot of people to use it, it's just something I use and find easier to backup recordings. I convert all mine to MKV files, they playback better on my RaspberryPI and it's easier to edit a recorded movie in a MKV file than a TS. Once its in MKV I usually trim the start/stop and archive the movie.
I am trying to scan channels in NextPVR for my HDHomerun. The scan goes thru all channels, but none of them are getting listed in the dialog. Looking in the log files, I'm seeing "Unexpected error in timer_tick: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Length cannot be less than zero." messages.
Are there any builds of this plugin compatible with Eden version of XBMC? I don't mind the Live TV functionality to be experimental, but I don't really want to use XBMC nightlies, and would rather go with OpenElec 2.0 final, which is Eden-based.
I'm planning to overhaul my rig and will be replacing my single tuners to Quad tuners.
I will be using 2 x Hauppauge HVR2200 dual tuners(used) and 2 or 3 x Quad DVB-T2 tuners(new), total will be 12 or 16 tuners.
Before I buy the quad tuners, wonder is there any known issue or problem with NPVR or Windows 7(or 8) for using so many tuners?
Or is there anything I must take note of?
