NPvr gets tv show data (title, show summary, etc...) from the tv listings and saves it in it's own database. When you choose the show in Npvr you can see this info. One of my clients uses xbmc and can't access this info and because of the file naming format can't scrape it either.
Is it possible to have Npvr write this info to a file and save it with the recording so it can be accessed by xbmc?
I was having a problem logging in to the 'Config' area when I installed NEWA 1.25. When I pressed the 'Log In' button from the Login page, it wouldn't do anything. The logs indicated that the sha1-min.js file was missing. I looked further and saw that I did not have that file with NEWA 1.25. This file was attempting to be loaded by NEWA_CSSMasterPage.master, where the file NEWA_CSSMasterPage5.master did not try to load the missing file. So, I changed NEWA_CSSMasterPage.master by uncommenting "public/md5.js" and commenting out "public/sha1-min.js" & "public/sha256-min.js". Now I can log in to the 'Config' area and apply my settings. Are other people having this problem or did my install do crazy?
recording formula 1 qualifying 06:00-08:30.
Discovered recording was only 1hr long (luckily they repeated it at 13:00)
07:00am is when my EPG update kicks off so I suspect that it is somehow responsible for the termination of the recording.
This looked a bit suspicious 2012-04-14 07:02:07.940 [DEBUG][4] Frequency has changed, so stopping recording from previous frequency. (Handle 6)
Some weeks ago I posted a problem as I was unable to get NextPVR to add a channel for the video input on old analogue AvMedia TV card under XP. I got it working on another old XP client and transferred several VHS recordings to NextPVR but I actually used Cyberlink Power Director as it was easier when working with a VCR as it has a monitor display.
I have now transferred the card to my Vista NextPVR server where I want to record occasional programmes from my DVB-C box. I was surprised that Vista had a driver for the card and was able to make test recording using Power Director 7. I then set up NextPVR to record from the card video input. The problem is that when feeding 16:9 video into the card NextPVR records it as 5:4 aspect ratio at 30fps according to Media Info. So when played back on NextPVR or VLC there is a large black gap at either edge of the display and everyone looks very thin. By comparison recordings made using Power Director with settings as close as possible to NPVR the aspect ratio is 4:3 at 25fps.
Is this likely to be a problem with the old capture card which may not be able to recognise 16:9 video? The old version of Power Director I have displays the 16:9 video as 4:3 in the preview window and there does not seem to be a setting to change.
Does anyone else see problems playing a recording on a pc client when the timing info is in a separate file? If I play the recording via Videos it plays just fine, and if I then resume the same recording in Recordings the timeline looks fine.
I'll post logs when I get around to make a clean set of logs.
Been so busy I've hardly had time to read this forum. However, I wanted to say that NPVR has run perfect on 2 machines. With all the prime time I record (and can't seem to find time to watch), it's reassuring to know that it hasn't missed a beat.
I guess I've been taking NPVR for granted so I wanted to say how thankful I am for all the hard work sub does and the help of many in this forum. I will continue my regular, twice a year donations. It's worth every more than I donate.
The latest version was released on April 13th with the following changes:
- Added a specific override setting for blu-ray discs (or folder rips)
This change allows you to set a refresh rate to use with blu-ray discs or folder rips which MediaInfo normally fails to detect (probably because the actual m2ts file being played is different from the index.bdmv one specified in the initial graph (due to the way the LAV splitter works)).
I'm trying to do a little post processing logic and only want specific shows processed. Is it possible, and if so, how would I go about getting just the recording title as a variable? I know I can use "%1" to get the full path and file name, but is there a easy way to just get the title?
I've searched light and low and I'm just not finding it... maybe it's not possible? or maybe my search skills lack?
When creating a 'daily' manual recording the pending recording for today is not being created. It may be significant that the time I set-up the recording was approximately 12:25pm (i.e. 25 past midnight).
Name of the manual recording is 'Test';
name of the show being recorded is 'Rude Awakenings'
channel is TVOne
