in NPVR, I've only got a few files for testing and once I go down a couple of folders and come back up the thumbnails do not refresh. In fact they won't reappear until I go back over the folder icon.
Luckily I found out you can't use multiple blasters on hauppauge cards (you can't specify a device and you don't really know which device will fire it's blaster ahead of time). So my idea of a colossus and HVR-2250 for three capture devices is dead. I'm looking into the USB-UIRT but the local resellers sell the box only with no blaster cables and don't offer cables seperately. Even the USB-UIRT site doesn't list cables as purchasable.
Nobody sells the eHome blaster that I can find except Hauppauge and it doesn't say if it takes two blasters or, like the one I got with the 2250, has two ports but only one works.
So I'm wondering. If I hang two HDPVRs off my HTPC can I have them blast seperately or are they like the rest of the line and not seperately commandable?
I have some strange thing happens
NPVR upto patch 33 including skip
1) some times then I delete file and then I answer "OK" it just hung , file is deleted
If start NPVR again same will happen next time, If I reboot it works again (this from NPVR.log)
I have an old Analogue Tuner card which is no longer any use since we went digital a year ago. It does have an Analogue capture card which would enable me to record video from my DVB-C box and digitize some old VHS tapes. I have followed the âAnalogueâ instructions and the device is listed in NPVR as âpresentâ and âenabledâ. However when I select âAddâ in âDevice Setupâ and select âCompositeâ or âSVideoâ as input then select OK nothing is added. The device is an âAverMedia, AVerTV WDM Video Capture (7134)â and is quite old so may not be compatible with NPVR.
I just installed a Colossus yesterday which wouldn't work until I did an HCWClear to wipe everything hauppauge (I removed the other TV cards too to make sure).
After re-installing everything and then installing the newest colossus drivers WinTv works without a hickup including blasting channels. In NPVR I get black screen and no audio but no complaints from NPVR otherwise. I deleted the now-absent devices and rebooted with no change in outcome.
I tried LAV, Hauppauge, and arcsoft decoders with no difference.
Oh yes, I tried stopping the WinTV server first then again while leaving that server running.
I have just a SD digital box so I have composite only selected with RCA audio. I'm not trying to look at component video with composite input etc.
Hi, I've had this problem for a couple of years - my recordings of a couple of channels (mostly Prime), and indeed live playback, are almost always jumpy. More specifically during playback it seems the system loses its position in the file, sometimes jumping forward several minutes or getting pretty screwed up... while during live tv it often freezes, sometimes managing to resync, sometimes not (and locking up - escape back to the guide is usually possible).
I've often been suspicious of my signal on the Prime frequency... even though I am in Wgtn with direct line-of-sight of Kaukau and all TVNZ channels are good. I'm sure I've raised this issue before (but never got to the bottom of it).
Anyhoo, I'm willing to ignore live TV if I can get reliable playback of recordings. I've found that whenever I have a bad recording off Prime (most of them), I can always play the .ts file without a problem (i.e it is smooth) in VLC. So is there any way that I can tell NPVR to use whatever decoder and/or renderer that VLC uses??
BTW I updated to the latest Saf6 a few days ago and there's no improvement. Sorry I'm not at home at the moment so can't tell you my exact combo of decoders/renderers, but it's all pretty standard and I've never found a combo that works better than what I currently have.
I also updated to 2.3.6 (and subsequent patches) some time ago, and I must say it's been 100% reliable for me in terms of not crashing or missing recordings (which used to happen to me a bit), so excellent work there sub, many thanks!!
I'm running into this problem with ImageGrabLite, but since it's not so much a problem with the plug-in but the circumstances, I thought I'd post here for more general assistance. If I have erred, please accept my apologies and move to the appropriate area.
A while back, during the renaming phase of ImageGrabLite, I had an error with the rename because the file was in use("The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process"). I figured comskip still had the file open (being run in parallel), so I put some coding in my batch file to wait if the comfix files weren't available, and I thought that took care of it. But recently I've had the problem pop up again, and then twice tonight. After I saw the first one, I added the following code to my batch, but it happened a second time tonight after the change:
Code:
REM try renaming the file to the same name, see if gets an error
:checkopen
ren %1 "%~nx1"
if errorlevel 1 goto waitandcheck
goto grab
:waitandcheck
REM if we got here, the rename failed so wait a bit and try again
ping 1.1.1.1
goto checkopen
:grab
So, anyone have an idea why the file might be otherwise in use? I can think of nothing outside the NPVR universe that should be messing with the file, and it seems that this should catch if it is open there (okay, I stole it from someone else's batch file I found here).
