Hi, I've been pointed in this direction after reading about nextpvr on xbmc forum.

Not having the patience to wait for next release with xbmc support I downloaded 2.5.5 to test. I've run through setup and all seems to be correct, scanning for channels was no problem and it found all my channels. However it has yet to populate epg, and I fail to start live-tv.

The error I'm handed is "unable to find available capture device"

Looking at the log it seems like tuner is working (it manage to scan channels, and I know its working from other software)

However the Nrecord log has some errors I can't figure out.

I've had a few issues with certain channels freezing on adverts. I read that the latest SAF codecs can help so I decided to have a clear-out and install the latest SAF6. unfortunately i've managed to brake something in the process.

Now, whenever I try to watch live TV, NDigitalHost.exe crashes. I've attached my logs and config. i can watch recordings ok but not live. Also, if i try to record something, that also fails.

I'm now in big trouble with the wife - help!

I know with MediaPortal they have a setting in the TV Server setup to allow you to pause the graph instead of stopping. This makes for faster start/channel changing times.

Since channels start and change just fine it is just an enhancement, no rush on this one (I'm just sure people will talk about it though. Some reason people are very finicky about channel change times.)

The recordings list shows all recordings, past, present and future. I was playing around with the addon and added this code to only show recordings that are completed.

This code is in the GetRecordings(ADDON_HANDLE handle) method. Code modifed is in bold

// include already-completed recordings
CStdString response;
CStdString status;
CStdString title;

if (DoRequest("/service?method=recording.list&filter=ready", response) == HTTP_OK)
{
TiXmlDocument doc;
if (doc.Parse(response) != NULL)
{
PVR_RECORDING tag;

TiXmlElement* recordingsNode = doc.RootElement()->FirstChildElement("recordings");
TiXmlElement* pRecordingNode = recordingsNode->FirstChildElement("recording");
for( pRecordingNode; pRecordingNode; pRecordingNode=pRecordingNode->NextSiblingElement())
{
[COLOR="#FF0000"] status = pRecordingNode->FirstChildElement("status")->FirstChild()->Value();
if(status == "Ready")
{[/COLOR]
memset(&tag, 0, sizeof(PVR_RECORDING));

PVR_STRCPY(tag.strRecordingId, pRecordingNode->FirstChildElement("id")->FirstChild()->Value());
//PVR_STRCPY(tag.strTitle, pRecordingNode->FirstChildElement("title")->FirstChild()->Value());
PVR_STRCPY(tag.strDirectory, pRecordingNode->FirstChildElement("name")->FirstChild()->Value());

title = pRecordingNode->FirstChildElement("name")->FirstChild()->Value();

if (pRecordingNode->FirstChildElement("desc") != NULL && pRecordingNode->FirstChildElement("desc")->FirstChild() != NULL)
{
PVR_STRCPY(tag.strPlot, pRecordingNode->FirstChildElement("desc")->FirstChild()->Value());
[COLOR="#FF0000"] title += " - ";
title += pRecordingNode->FirstChildElement("desc")->FirstChild()->Value();[/COLOR]
}

PVR_STRCPY(tag.strTitle, title);

tag.recordingTime = atoi(pRecordingNode->FirstChildElement("start_time_ticks")->FirstChild()->Value());
tag.iDuration = atoi(pRecordingNode->FirstChildElement("duration_seconds")->FirstChild()->Value());

CStdString strStream;
strStream.Format("http://%s:%d/live?recording=%s", g_szHostname, g_iPort, tag.strRecordingId);
strncpy(tag.strStreamURL, strStream.c_str(), sizeof(tag.strStreamURL));


PVR->TransferRecordingEntry(handle, &tag);

}
}
}
}

Wilee, for the multiple simultaneous clients problem, can you try changing one line of code in the addon to check it helps, before I try commiting it to git.

Change the following line in in pvrclient-nexpvr.cpp/OpenLiveStream():
sprintf(line, "GET /live?channel=%d&client=XBMC HTTP/1.0\r\n", channelinfo.iChannelNumber);

To:
sprintf(line, "GET /live?channel=%d&client=XBMC-%s HTTP/1.0\r\n", channelinfo.iChannelNumber, m_sid);

Hi,

We have problem with the inset video on the main menu when I close my tv and after a couple of minute I turn it on. The inset video is active on the main menu. When I try to change to the full screen mode the nPVR software froze and we need to restart nPVR.

Where is the setting to disable this function or do you have solution to fix the problem.

We have an hauppauge wintv2250
on AMD ATHLON x2. 2 ghz.
Windows 7 64 bits
npvr last version

Thanks,
Regards,

As of this evening the NPVR recording service fails to start. Attached are logs and screenshots. I am lost as to why it suddenly breaks.
I rebooted with no success. I noticed I no longer have an ndigitalhost.log file. My firewall hasn't changed. I checked it and nextpvr.exe,
nrecord.exe, and ndigitalhost.exe are set as Trusted apps (Kaspersky Internet Security). I also disabled KIS and it made no difference.

I am trying to modify keymappings.xml but all of the old hot keys still do their assigned functions and the new keys I assigned don't work. I am trying to modify commands like play, pause, ff, rr

I am running XP and modifying C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\NPVR\KeyMappings.xml

I know there are other ways of working around other than changing keymappings, but I already have other programs on my htpc that are using certain hot keys and I want to keep them all the same.

I have tried restarting npvr, restarting the computer, etc. and all the old hot keys are still working

Here is what I have in KeyMapping.xml

Can anyone help flesh out the arguments section for the PreArchiving.bat and PostArchiving.bat files on the wiki?

Just installed 2.5.5 and tried to configure it with my HDHomeRun, but it failed. Here's the log:
