I have a server and a client and the server's recording path is simply E: On the client I set the recordings to E:/Recordings/. WHen I recorded a show (set from the client) it recorded it in E:/<ShowName>/

Does this mean the recordings path in the client is ignored in favor of the server's path setting? It's a good thing for me if it is 8)

I have tons of videos and it'd be nice if I could press a key and have the selected item jump to the first listing with that character. e.g. Press P and it jumps to the first listing that starts with P.

Recently over two evenings NextPVR only recorded the last 15 minutes of an hour long programme in a particular time slot when it woke to make a later recording. Fortunately on both occasions I happened to see the computer wake and realised it should already be recording, because afterwards NextPVR does not warn about a problem with the recording.

At first sight looking at the System log the computer seems to wake to make the recording then immediately sleeps again which I remember others have seen. However on closer examination of some of the entries I think something slightly different is happening

Previous programme end 18:30 + 3 min padding + 5 min to sleep. Then 20 minute later hibernation. Recording of the next programme should start at 18:57.

18:37:04 System is entering sleep

18:57:29 The system has resumed from sleep
Sleep time 18:57:26
Wake Time 18:57:23

If the “The system has resumed from sleep” entry was a log of the computer waking to make a recording then “Sleep time” would have been listed as 18:37:04. Instead I think it is the log of the computer going from “Sleep” to “Hibernation”. I know from experience with my desktop computer that if you want to use the computer after it starts to go into hibernation there is nothing you can do to get back the use of the computer until the process finishes. Unfortunately I think any Wake command to start a recording in that minute or so time period will also be lost.

The same pattern of recordings has been going on for 2-3 weeks but only 2 were missed so perhaps something such as the time it takes to boot or hibernate has changed slightly. For now my computer goes straight to hibernation so should stop this particular problem but may later cause a problem with a different set of recording times.

I am having trouble getting Network Recorder working with my Ceton InfiniTV. What kinds of things can I do to troubleshoot? How do I verify each piece: SageDCT - Network Recorder - NPVR. I am able to record 4 shows at once with Windows Media Center, so I know the card works. The SageDCT Configuration communicates with the card when I try on the Test pane. When I try to watch something in NPVR, I get a black screen. When I tried to record something & then watch it on an NMT, it didn't work either. I opened the 4 ports for the card in Windows Firewall. I also created entries for NRecord.exe, NextPVR.exe & SageDCT. I have attached my zipped up Logs directory, my NetworRecorder.xml and the output from the SageDCT Configuration program. (NRecord.log.3 is my attempt to watch channel 50 & then record MythBusters.) At this point I have only one of the tuners configured in NPVR.

Juast as a reminder this is a new install of Windows & NPVR. I have been using NPVR on XP for ages, but couldn't find any drivers for the Ceton for XP.

I have just recovered from a NextPVR lockup. I have a dodgy tuner that I added and configured in Settings/Devices and tested and then removed and deleted from Settings/Devices.

Later ... NextPVR ground to a halt ... nothing would record, tray icon Show Status was blank and so on and on.

It appeared from the nrecord.log and from looking at the content of the database that nrecord was trying to start a recording on a capture source oid that did not exist in the capture source table. nrecord then stopped and everything else soon stopped also.

Hence, the title of this thread ... Are recordings re-scheduled when a capture source is deleted in Settings/Devices?

Thanks. Graham.

Hello.
I followed the guide for N-PVR installation and some of the threads that Martin and others helped sort out the problems of connection and resolution.
Now I can connect the the N-PVR from NMT but the screen is purple-ish... The colors are off.
Attached are all the possible logs I could generate.
Thanks for any help in advance.
Pavel.

I'm just trying to modify the default skin a bit - bigger fonts mostly. I'm playing with the videos list and I've got the bigger fonts and wider listview but I can't seem to figure out how to shrink the cover art viewing area, mostly because I don't know which part of the XML file describes it.

Is there a faq somewhere that says what the different elements are for? I figured out the three folder/item views for the most part but the rest is evading me.

Thanks!

Can I change web url from localhost:8866/ to localhost:8866/npvr ? I can see how to change the port, but it is always in /. I'd need it for reverse proxy.

I noticed the drive that I have livetv buffering on filling up. I checked that directory and sure enough there were over 100gigs worth of leftover .ts files. I believed this started happening after applying several patches although I'm not 100% confident on that. I tested this on the latest set of patches including the skip patch(and yes I registered the new file). I also noticed the initial buffer file does get removed, it's the subsequent files that are leftover.

Dear all,

been meaning to ask this for ages. This one goes out to new or occasional users and guests that have not signed up yet (I think you have to register to be able to poll?)

I am limited by the vBulletin software for my choice of simple answers to a mutiple poll. i.e one with varying questions and answers. So the first poll would be:

1) I have found it very easy to understand the difference between GB-PVR and NextPVR and find the current set-up easy to navigate and find the information I need.
2) I have not found it easy but it has been fun and I have learned a lot.
3) It has been very difficult and am not quite sure where to look?

cheers
