My Cable Box Provider sends shows over DSL (I think) but whatever the medium, the result is that you can have a bucketload of channels on one box, but only ever watch one channel, or show, at once. I have one tuner for the box, as it doesn't matter how many more tuners I would have, it doesn't help.
So rather than tuner priority, I'm actually looking for something that I think a plugin called XRecord did a long time ago, and set higher priorities on SHOWS so that the show I want on the box, gets a higher priority than what my wife wants (but don't tell her).
Can someone please give me a run through of how to get TV listings working well in NZ, using DVB-S (for freeview) only? There is so much info around re EPG sources etc and I'm not sure what is relevant to me. Can this plugin even be used effectively for freeview in NZ? I hope so because it looks so cool!
Currently I just use stock npvr 2.5.5 and the EPG that I get from the satellite.
I have been getting more crashes lately. The whole program will just freeze, sometimes in the middle of playing, sometimes after a skip. It will sometimes come back after a min or two. Most of the time I have to kill the program. It did it to me twice in a row tonight and I have posted the logs. It shows an access violation on memory and an error saying corrupt memory.
I haven't changed anything except upgrading NPVR lately on the system. Any suggestions or is it really that my memory is corrupt?
I thought this was an issue with the clients so I decided to try it on the server. But I get the same issue there. I watch a recording but when I re-watch it I don't have the resume option.
Hi I got my tuner card and all the channels work but I have one issue.
the width of the tv gets cut off and there's black bars, the main issue this causes is when I go in the guide I can't see the channel number and full name on the left and on teh right I can't see the full show name of the last show.
Also when I enter a channel number I can't see what I am entering.
Please tell me any additional information you need to know and I'll post it.
Wanted to record NFL game last night (CET).
Recording stopped after 33 minutes and 17 seconds
From the logs it seems to doing some EPG update at the time.
Note! I've just installed 2.5.5, and this was the first recording. But it is odd...
I have a problem where Live TV on a couple of my channels doesn't work.
The enclosed log files in NMTerror.zip is this:
On a NMT client I select to watch a program from the TV Guide.
The systray device status on the PC will show that I am watching live TV.
But on the NMT client I am just returned to the TV Guide.
After maybe 10-15 seconds the device status changes back to idle/nothing.
If I choose to record the program it works OK, and I can start watching the program while still recording it.
The enclosed log files in PCerror.zip is this:
In the TV Guide I select to watch a program.
The NPVR window shows "please wait..." for a few seconds, then it goes blank.
Device status tells me that I am watching live TV, but I ain't.
After 20-30 seconds device status changes back to idle.
At this point NPVR hangs / is unresponsive, and I have to kill it.
Like on the NMT client, starting a recording, and even watching it while recording, works very well.
Only a couple of my TV channels give me this problem, others are fine.
I'm using DVB-C devices, one PCI- and one USB-based, both give me the same problem.
