Well, after so long without any hitches I was suprised to download a video file that did play, but with the audio out of sync. Convinced the file itself must be at fault I just deleted it and did not give it another thought.
But today I downloaded more video files and the same thing! It seems the video files in question are all 'X264' files, where previously they were mkv;
Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 720x404 23.98fps [Output 1]
Audio: AAC 48000Hz stereo [Output 2]
I am using Win7-64.

So then I embarked on an AAC oddysey, trying to get ffdhshow to play them instead of whatever the default was, and not finding a simple file to rename like MP3mod.dll in windows/system I downloaded W7DSfiltertweaker and used that.
So now ffshow was used for the audio - but it's still out of sync! And not by a small amount - I am talking 3-4 seconds out :-(

The files do play fine in Media Center Home Cinema and Windows Media Center
So peeps. have you come across these horrible X264 files and if so, how do you get them in sync in GBPVR or NPVR?

The shaded area in the vertical menu touches the bottom of the screen. To match the top of the screen the xml should be ...

<RoundedRect location="2,2" size="98,96" fillColor="#82181818" borderColor="Transparent" radius="2" borderWidth="0"/>

An updated file is attached. Apology for trivia ...

I have an XP Pro server with NPVR working fine locally. I'm attempting to set up clients on an XP Home and a Win7 machine. I have the database directory in shareddocs\NVPR and the registry pointed there. I shared the NPVR directory as well and gave everyone full permissions. I set both clients to server name media and path \\media\npvr. I also tried the full path \\media\shareddocs\nvpr. Both client machines can browse to the nvpr data directory.

In both cases on both clients starting nvpr does not complain about the path being inaccessible (as the default location would despite being shared) but clicking anything that wants to use the database (Live TV, Guide, Settings) results in a cant find database exception.

Any clues?

Looking for people willing to help test live TV support for WTV or DVR-MS
You need to run comskip manually on a file while and after being recorded and send me the redirected stderr and the log files
Only reply if you understand the above.

So I wanted to apply the Incomplete EPG patch, but the comment is "You'll need to have the recent skipping patches installed aswell."
I was at R1, so I downloaded and applied the Pre-R2 Skip Patch 2a, and the NShared.zip in the EPG thread.

And that's when the nightmare began.

Two days later, I realised that shows had not been recorded. Investigation revealed:

• Nothing had been recorded
  
• NTray was taking about 60 secs to open its menu
  
• EPG display had pending recordings un-coloured
  
• Recurring recordings were not being scheduled
  
• System was saying "Unable to communicate with recording service"
  
• No EPG updates had occurred
  
• There was no ndigitalhost.log or ndigitalhost.log.1 (there was a .2, but it predated the patch)
  
• Status had no devices
  

• The skip patch is a single patch. It updates a lot of files, but its no different to any other patch?
  
• Does it have pre-requisites (like R1)?
  
• The Nshared.zip patch for the EPG update needs to be applied after the Pre-R2 Skip patch?
  
• If I apply 2b, do I need to re-apply the EPG patch?
  
• If I zip up my program directory, apply the patch, test it and find problems, is it enough to just unzip the old directory again? Or are there things that need re-registering or other magic?

Quote: 1. Should/can I call from postprocessing.bat? If yes I will put it in the Scripts folder.

Quote: 2. If yes, then syntax would be writeTime %1?

Quote: 3. Will filename.ts.Timing.Info be deleted from the folder when the show is deleted (I would like it to be).

Non css view, as per the arrows: should there be a space here?

k.

Anyone that can give me tips on what to search for ?
I get this NPVR.log
started NPVR
selected recordings
and in log I see "Unexpected error parsing EPGEvent xml" every 2 minutes

Here is a small command line utility that create an external Timing.Info file for use with old ts files or ts files that have been cut or edited. It is based on timing information in the file itself (PCR) and it does adjust for some PCR timeline errors.

NMT users will need this update http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post433160 (that might need all the TSReader2 files)

Normally you don't need to use any options, but if you want here they are:
