Clocks go forward here at 1am on the 25th and in general NExtPVR is handling this correctly although the TV Guide is showing 01:xx on the timeline. Technically 01:00 -> 01:59 don't exist.
In the image below the details panel correctly shows that Weatherview starts at 2am BST but the timeline shows 1am.

In the next image the details panel correctly shows BBC News runs from 2:05am BST to 2:30am BST but it's displayed as if it runs from 1:05 to 2:30.

It's not until I move through so the timeline starts at 2am BST that things balance out (See below).
If you're new to NextPVR, see the list of pre-requisite software at: http://www.nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php?...requisites (directx runtime, visual c++ runtime etc). If you're upgrading from an earlier build, you need to make sure you stop the NPVR software before installing.
If you're using an HDHomeRun, after installing you'll probably need to add a firewall exception too allow the new NDigitalHost.exe to receive data from the HDHomeRun, otherwise live tv or recordings may fail.
Please post any support issues in the support forum.
This is a fairly small release, intended to take the pain out of downloading all the patches for the last release. From the change log:
Quote:- improved skipping in .ts files, using new NPVRTSReader2.ax. Main fixes were several users had long pauses after skipping, inaccurate skipping in live tv and playback on in-progress recordings, improved skipping from client PCs.
- fixed an issue with 'whats new' list position not selecting correct recording after playback if new recording had occurred.
- fixed an issue that could lead to high CPU usage on NMT after playing video.
- fixed a couple of bugs with the new channel groups functionality in the TV Guide.
- added ability to manually force the use certain teletext pages for subtitles. This was useful in a case where the broadcaster wasnt providing subtitle page numbers in the DVB teletext descriptor.
- comskip info now available on client PCs.
- fixed a bug with failed recordings that a re-attempted on another tuner, that could result in a long ever-running recording.
- fixed a problem with resuming playback on NMT
- updated version of NEWA.
- added a "nextpvr.exe -reload" command line parameter that can be used to tell the recording service to reload it's list from the database.
- removed a few log messages that were in some setups causing logs to fill up and roll over quickly.
- fixed a problem where video library wasn't accepting nextpvr's native xml metadata format when stored in a separate file rather the embedded ADS
- in libraries, pressing A-Z will now jump to first item that starts with that let. 0-9 continues to jump to a percentage in the list, the same as previous releases.
- added setting allow user to choose FF/RW key behaviour. You can use the previous skip skip, or new fast play function.
- fixed an minor issue with vertical main menu when several of the menu options had been disabled, leaving 'less than or equal' to the number of displayed menu items.
- fixed an error that could occur when running installer on client machine
- NDigitalHost.exe now also honoring the <UseHigherPriority> setting
- fixed a bug with where edits to a digital channel's settings were not saved when you hit ok.
- minor change to the loading order of cover art.
- fixed a problem that was causing buffer files to behind on disk after watching live tv
- updated version of tag-sharp
- a couple of minor skin fixes.
New to NPVR. love the features... now just to get it to work!
took a while to figure out how to get it to detect the channels on the channel scan.
EPG is working and showing the channel listings etc. however if i click to watch live tv the window says "please wait..." then goes to a black screen and stays there.
I tried a Colossus with an HVR-2250 and I couldn't even get WinTV to work with the combo. It would show the colossus output but if I tried the 2250 WinTV would just lock up. This despite using HCWclear and re-installing everything.
I then tried with the 1800/1850 (Forget which one I have exactly) and WinTV worked perfectly but NPVR was black with no Audio from the 1800 while the colossus worked (one issue which I think is a timing issue but that's for the support forum).
The wife was about to decapitate me so I couldn't experiment further last night but I realized later that it might be that the Arcsoft decoder (which I had set for the colossus) may not be compatible with the 1800's output. If I'd had time I would have tried the Hauppauge decoders.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has tried getting the Colossus to work with a second non-Colossus card and had success? If so, what setup did you use?
It would be cool if you could have several machines in a network with TV cards recording shows to the server machine. Let each recording client set recording schedules but have the server prevent duplicates and show already scheduled recordings on the guide display.
Has anyone made a utility to extract from the recordings DB to an NFO file? Thinking of something that could be added to the post processing batch file to creat an NFO file after recording.
I've been toodling today, and have actually created a Plex Media Scanner that will read my recordings directory, and have been playing with a metadata agent to read NFO files.
If theres a utility to extract a db record to NFO (as opposed to renaming the file and using tvdb (which is too hard in nz because of the time differences in when shows are aird) then I can close the loop between nextpvr to plex - and the same utility could also be used for nextpvr > xbmc if so desired.
Not sure if this is support, or feature request...(feel free to move it if this is wrong)
I was watching Live TV, and had timeshifted back. As soon as a scheduled recording started, it immediately said "no tuner available", and ended. I still had about 15 minues of timeshifted livetv left.
It would be nice to be able to finish watching up to the end of what it had recorded in timeshift before the scheduled recording ended.
Is that possible, am I missing a setting someplace?
