I'm in the US and I have an OTA antenna my HDHome run is found and I can run a channel scan, but it will not come up with any channels on the list. How can I remedy this?
I have successfully installed NPVR over Windows XP and got my Angel TV tuner detected with Canada channels scanned and apparently correctly listed. Now when I select any of them, the NPVR screen stays black. Could you help me ?
This is a problem I have been having for a while, especially on long recordings like movies (1 hr shows seem unaffected), and almost exclusively on FTA channels. I always use a PCH-A100 to watch them, almost never on the PC.
What happens is this:
Comskip autoskips works very well for the first few skips, then stops working.
The status bar (when I press the blue button on the remote) is green up to the cuts and gray to the end of the show, except where the comskip cuts are shown as black bars, all as it should be.
At the same time as it stops working, when pressing the blue button, I note that the green progress bar goes green ALL THE WAY to end, even though I am only part way through the show.
The attached logs might not show much as it happened last night. I will try and capture a long one again if I watch a movie.
My cable company has really been messing with QAM, but thankfully they still have analog versions for most channels and I can still record / time shift when I need to on the nearly ancient HVR-1600.
I am running Win 7 32 bit home premium, but somehow MCE is not seeing that HVR1600 now. Worked when I first installed Win7, but now it is gone wacky. Tried to fix it, but I think it may take an OS reinstall.
With the new F1 season starting this weekend, I needed a working DVR...fast!
Haven't used my old 1.4.7 install in about six months, or more. Would it save me?
All I had to do was run mc2xml on a command line, go into gbpvr and tell it to update the EPG.
Voila! Was able to time shift two F1 practice/qualifying sessions with no problems! Playback was as smooth as silk.
Thank you, sub, for creating even this "oldie", which still works for many of us!
This problem is killing my npvr, I'm losing half of my recordings to this problem and I'm stumped. I had this problem for a while so I wiped my pc and reinstalled and I'm still getting the same problem, I thought it might be related to the pc sleeping but today I had it set to record the race and the pc was busy seeding a race torrent so it hasn't and won't sleep all weekend and I still lost the recording to this message. I have all the latest patches including the cumulative skip patch installed. LOgs attached.
It may seem wierd to use an Android tablet with Ethernet but that is what I do with my Transformer Prime via anEthernetto USB connector. This is for the sole purpose of streaming uncompressed OTA HD video captured from Npvr to the tablet. Works great, just disable WiFi, connect it up an it works. Want to stream live tv too so nDroid is perfect. Only issue is it seems to only work over WiFi or mobile? Could you make it work with Enet?
With my wife FINALLY employed again after a long, long stretch (US job market sucks), I can finally manage to send something your way. It's long overdue.
I know this has got to have an easy answer but I can't find it amongst the similar on the web. (I have just upgraded to windows 7 so all a bit unfamiliar)
I want NPVR to start and be ready to use from remote control when I turn the PC on. I have put a shortcut to NPVR in the startup folder and the program starts fine but it is not in focus (has the toolbar on top) so the remote won't control it. Is there an option I need to set somewhere or do I need to start the program by a different means?
I've got some channels on 19.2 deg that run part time encryption, I can watch them with DVBViewer but if I try with NPVR it just tells me they are encrypted. I guess the encrypted flag is set when it's scanned so NPVR refuses to try. Is there any way I can un-set the encrypted flag - it was easy in GBPVR but in NPVR do I need to go into the SQL database?
