brian, my ndroid app is not showing the list of recordings in 'ready recordings'. anything i can check? they appear in npvr client ok. cheers.

Hi, moved from gbpvr early in the week and it's been spot on.

Just a minor thing atm, I've set emmerdale and corronation street to record between 8 and 9PM, the timeline at the top has turned red but as you can see not the programs.



This is the first time this has heppened. I've removed all recordings and restarted the service but it still happens. If I set a different program to record in the same timeslot they turn red as usual.

Thanks for this excellent app.

I am a little bit confused with the explanation for guideplus in the wiki.

Here is what I want to do: I have got hundreds of recordings in my recording list. Most of them are episodes of series. Since I do not see an archive function but my harddisk has no more space, I want to move some of the recordings to another harddisk. Therefore I want to rename the recordings of some series with the name of the episode title of each recording, so this title does not get lost (the files plugin did not work out for me).

The wiki for guidelus tells me, that it can rename recordings with the episode title. But I do not understand, how I can tell this utility which recording it shall rename. On the other hand I am forced to give it a guide file and a altered guide file as a parameter. I suppose that I might give the information, which recordings I want to have renamed in the guide file. But I have no idea, how I have to structure the guide file and put the information of recordings to be renamed in this file. Above that I am not quite sure, for what I could use the altered guide file. For the time being I do not want to run guideplus everyday for every recording.

i want to install this, and will begin very soon. As i could see, the documentation in the wiki is not very detailed, so where could i get more help.
Am i right here with my thread?
Is there anybody to give more infos if this will work with mdcc digital hd basic paket?

I am having regular problems playing back recordings, but the same .TS file plays fine in Video Lan Client. Here is a dump of NPVR.log when I try to play So You Think You Can Dance. The video playback starts, immediately hangs, and the UI is still responsive to the Escape key so I get back to my recordings list.
Logs are attached.

In a recent post you drew my attention to this feature

- added support for control via PostMessage id=0x8007, wparam set to the keycode you want to send.

This seems safer than sending keystrokes. How does this work to the NMT? I cannot find the hWnd to use in the call, either by the process or via a plugin in the application.

I have been using GBPVR for sometime, and the recording did occasional have studder. Recently I have been trying to migrate to NPVR version 2.4.3. The recording have very frequent studder sometimes a recording goes for awhile without studder and then it studders a lot for the remainder of the recording. I have sometimes watched my TV while doing a test recording. The TV is is getting the same signal through a splitter, and I do not see studder while watching TV but then I see studder in the recording. I have tried flipping the cable between the TV and the tuner card and it made no difference.

I have tried doing recordings on two devices a HVR-2250 and a AverMedia Volar Max both in QAM mode. They both produced similar results. I have tried turning off my antivirus (Avast) and it made no difference. I feel very strongly that the studder is in the recordings and not the playback rendering, because the playback shows the studder at the same place if I rewind. I also see the studder in the same if I view with windows media player.

I am running Vista 32 HP bit, on a 780G HD motherboard with a AMD Athlon X2 4850e. Not the newest machine its about 4 years old. One thing I have noticed with NPVR is my machine seems less responsive when recordings are on-going than with GBPVR. My CPU runs a little higher with NPVR (10%), but memory consumption isn't noticeably different.

Anyone have any idea how to begin to diagnose and remedy?

I am trying to create a simple "daily this time slot" scheduled recording for a news program unsuccessfully. NPVR keeps scheduling the show twice, same time slot, and another one an hour later. Logs are attached. Thanks.

The mobo on my GBPRV machine failed, and I had to replace it. When I cranked it back up, PVRX2 was not working. Got a window with a big red X in it. So I thought this might be a good time to try out NPVR on a spare hard drive. I installed Windows 7 and NPVR, and it seems that this is not going to be so easy. Starting to regret starting this, but I'm going to try to hold out until the bulb begins to glow a little, if that ever happens. Just adding my two analog cards is a pain, and the procedure is not very clear - to me, anyway - so, if someone could give a hand, I would be appreciative.

I have two PVR-500 cards installed, for a total of 4 tuners. I ran FilterCheck. Following are the two sections mentioned in the Wiki page. How many entries am I supposed to make to the xml file, and what should they be?

Thanks in advance.

I was watching live tv. I then tried to change the channel when going through the mini guide and nothing happened. It just froze and windows 7 let me know the program was not responding so I closed NPVR.
