I have this card which works amazingly great in Windows Media Center and NPVR. What I have noticed after I setup NPVR is that I have a few extra channels, which is great, but some of the channels I have in Windows Media Center are missing. A perfect example of this is SYFY. I don't watch SYFY but it's one of the channels I am missing. I've looked everywhere but I can't seem to add the channels manually because.. I don't know their frequency. The missing channels show up in WMC. I don't like WMC because I can't watch a maximized window to take up the other screen. I watch TV while playing games, so NPVR has been the perfect replacement for WMC because I can watch it maximize window while playing games.

What do I do?

hey all. i had recently posted as a new user and thanks to you all that answered, i got some of my issues worked out. i still have an issue with my mce remote....which i think it needs programmed in NPVR? the remote works ok in media center in all aspects, ie. changing channels, volume, etc.....but i don't like media center and do like NPVR. However, i can't seem to get the remote to change channels during LiveTV (or is it the ir blaster?). I spent a few minutes in the forum looking for answers but nothing jumped out at me. Does anyone have a quick answer as to how to set up the remote control? Thanks in advance.

Have an (optional) timeout on the tv guide screen, so that if left on tv guide for say 15 minutes with no user input it drops back to the main menu. Main reason for me is then my clients would go to sleep.

OK, I know it's a new feature, but it would be great if I could select a PIP channel while watching live tv by doing something like, overlay guide, ok on channel, select 'watch PIP' from the menu.
The reason 123* is not much use is that a) I have no idea what my channels are numbered - I only ever select via the guide rather than direct access. b) even if I knew my favourite channel numbers by heart, I wouldn't know what was on them to watch without referencing the guide first.

Is there any reason to enforce credentials on web service calls that originate within the local network? Couldn't they recognize the web server settings that allow local network access without logging in?

I ask because using Windows PowerShell it's very easy to invoke web services natively. For instance, try this at a PowerShell command prompt:

In the latest version distributed with 2.5.5 here's the error I receive after clicking an item in the Search results and clicking Record:

I'm having trouble playing some mpeg1 videos that I have downloaded. I remember seeing something about in the forums a while ago but I can't find it. I have tried both <ForceMpgGraph>true</ForceMpgGraph> and <MpgUsingSplitter>true</MpgUsingSplitter> but in vain. NextPVR reports the duration to be 0. The files play fine in VLC. Is NextPVR playing mpeg1 files itself or asking windows to play them? What else do I need to do?

1. What's the difference between SettingsHelper.SetSetting() and SettingsHelper.SetOverride()?
   
2. Is there a way to monitor and intercept/override keypresses? I would like to intercept keys while playing video and override the default behaviour but implimenting IScreenPlugin will only fire OnKeyDown() if the plugin is active and OnKeyPress() never seems to be fired when implementing IKeyPress.
   
3. If I want to display my own subtitles on videos (non .ts files), can I just call Native.UpdateCCBitmap() or do I need to implement ICCSubtitleData. If the latter, how would I do that? I see SetSubtitleStream() but not a SetSubtitlePlugin()
   

skippy_nz posted in the 2.5.5 announcement thread that he was able to bypass the security of iNEWA and go directly to the recordings list and delete shows without ever logging in. I tested it and first thought it was working fine, and reported same.

However, on further testing I now see the problem:

If the user goes to http://npvr:8866/mobile, it skips the login. I advertised that as a means to see the mobile site on a device not detected as mobile (such as a tablet like my HP TouchPad). This is obviously a pretty serious issue, though hopefully won't have any immediate consequence. I'm turning off external access to my NPVR box until this is fixed.

for those daring to try here's a HDMI capture card with HDCP bypass...
