Is there an option in NextPVR to just export recordings? Tried putting it into PostProcessing but it don't seem to work. Tried searching for an overview over NextPVR's commandline options but can't seem to find that either...
Sub, is the EPGEvent data available to a tuning plugin? Specifically I want to block access to the device based on time but if the tuner is available at the starting time, there might be an assumption that is available for the entire period.
I was hoping this new version would solve this problem but it still exist, when I watch recordings and they come to a point where there will be a skip with comskip the video will freeze and I have to stop then go back to ready recordings and resume to continue watching or it will stay froze indefinitely. I watched the F1 race I recorded earlier today and I had 2 of these freezes while watching. I'll attach logs to see if you can spot anything.
I was thinking it might be nice to have episode art like TV Listing (image #1), but it doesn't work at all in Recordings I added @previewImage to Recordings meta and was able to get art but it looks like it is just the Media\Show art (#2) So wish #1 is to to have @previewImage show the episode image if it is available.
However in the video library both icon and cover views look pretty drab, they really are designed for covers and not 16x9 style images. Wish #2 is to add episode views that aren't for covers.
Finally it looks like there is a bug in the Video Library, if the filename includes a semi-colon, filename.jpg is not loaded as meta art.
This is probably an arcsoft issue but I figure I may as well report it.
I finally got my IR issues sorted and both a Colossus and HVR-1800 working in the same machine with IRSS changing channels on the Colossus/STB.
If I change channels outside NPVR everything is fine. If I change channels with NPVR without a changer specified then I get a blip and the card keeps showing the same thing no problem.
Once I got USB-UIRT set up with IRSS and the command line set in NPVR while using the Arcsoft H264 decoder then NPVR freezes or, occasionally, BSOD.
Using the other decoders doesn't do this. All have audio and I think it was ffdshow that works perfectly. I'm happy with it working but in case it's something NPR is doing I'll attach the logs from it.
I just got this and installed the HDHomeRun SW, and then upgraded to NextPVR 2.4.3. In the Devices screen it lists
Type Device
--------------------------------------------------
ATSC Silicondust HDHomeRun Tuner 10343D85-0
ATSC Silicondust HDHomeRun Tuner 10343D85-1
HDHR DCR-2650 / HDHR Prime 10343D85-0
HDHR DCR-2650 / HDHR Prime 10343D85-1
What is the diff between ATSC as Type and HDHR as Type? I enabled the ATSC ones and connected an antenna and it works, but I want to make sure I am using the correct device.
I had troubles with my Hauppauge MCE IR transciever - like port 1 never working and then port 2 packing it in. I decided to get the USB-UIRT since it seems so well supported but I couldn't find any emitter cables except online from out of the country (Canada). I talked to the USB-UIRT maker and he assured me that a simple cable would work and that I only needed regular clear mini-white LEDs, not actual IR leds. So I bought a 3.5mm stereo audio cable and the same size mono cable.
From there I cut one end off the stero cable (couldn't find a Y adapter) and cut the mono cable in half as well as cutting off the ends. I spliced/soldered/shrink tubinged (not a word, I know) one mono cable to channel one and the other two channel two. Then I soldered and shrink tubed the splices ( 1/16") and shrink tubed the junction of the three cables (3/16") to provide a bit of strain relief. I soldered and shrink tubed the positive lead to the LED (long leg, short part of the inside) but didn't bother with the negative. Then I shrink tubed the led to the cable with a bit of tubing over the very end ridge on the LED.
Tried it out and they're working independently and both change channels on my STB no problem - even at some range.
The small clear white's don't come in really low power it seems. The lowest my local supplier had was 1000mcd (typical old red 5mm is something like 80mcd). I'll post a pic tomorrow - it doesn't even look terrible.
NPVR's default Live TV startup from the Guide has a "One Moment Please" message. My HDPVRs will take about 5-6 seconds to tune the channel and start up. When I'm in front of the server I can watch the activity. From my clients I have no visual indication without that message that I actually clicked the button to watch the channel.
Could this message also be added to the next version of TV Listings whenever that might be? I know 3.6 was just released (and it's working great for me!), so no hurry for this.
With NPVRTSReader2.ax being so new, I'm having problems with 2.4.3. I'm more than happy to help test through the problems to make things better, but I can't test all the time.
In the interests of usability when I/we aren't in testing mode, is there a way to revert to NPVRTSReader.ax without reverting to 2.3.6?
