I have set up an NPVR client (server and client are both latest version). I have installed all of the pre-reqs on the client and installed ffdshow and set that as the default decoder wherever it's an option. The client is running Windows XP (actually Windows Embedded Standard 09, but it's basically XP-lite. I work for a thin client company and find all sorts of uses for these gadgets!). No matter what I set as the default video decoder, though, I get a blank screen when playing anything from the server. I know the server works fine, as I use it daily and everything is fine. I also have another thin client NPVR client (running Windows 7 Embedded) with the same software installed and it works fine. The XP embedded device, though will not show the streamed video. I've tried every video decoder option.
I've attached a zip of the log directory.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Watching tv tonight and I have gotten a System.AccessViolationException error 2 times and it crashes npvr. NPVR has crashed more than 2 times tonight, but I see the same error 2 times. I have attached the logs. Not sure if it's a pvr problem or something else? We have been watching one channel the whole time in livetv mode. I'm running windows 7 if that helps.
Ok Iâm very stumped on this whole thing and Iâm hoping that someone out there has a solution for me. Iâm trying to get the QAM to work on a HVR-1600 but I run into a snag. After doing a fresh install I can run a scan and find several channels that come in clear. But after a reboot of the system when selecting any of the stations I just get a black screen with no audio. Then if I run a scan on my 2nd HVR-1600 card I get no channels showing up. The only way I can get things back is if I do a Uninstall of the drivers and WinTV. But then again after the next reboot its all gone again.
Anyone else run into this my logs are below?
Hereâs a quick rundown on my setup.
2gb of ram
Intel Quad Core 2
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
2 HVR-1600
NPVR 2.3.6
Hi all!
new to NPVR. Used to use GB-PVR but been away for a while. The new install went well with no problems. One question I have is if I can display the over the air channel number assigned to a channel in the EPG? It seems the NPVR assigns channel number and I haven't been able to replace with the digital format"XX.XX".
I didn't think my log would be helpful since this is a general "how-to" question but let me know if you think it will be helpful.
first, many thanks for version 2.3.6, for me, it's much more stable than the last.
Now I'm using version 2.3.6 with Patch R1 and have the following problem:

I see this Exception in NPVR.log while updating EPG-data and had it today when calling
Code:
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%i in ('C:\"Program Files (x86)"\NPVR\NScriptHelper.exe -title "%~f1"') do SET title=%%i
I appreciate that this may be hard, but it would be nice if live TV could be synchronized between the server and one or more clients. We sometimes both watch the same channel in the same room (with only one set of speakers turned on) and it would be nice if the sound was in sync with the picture for both of us!
single tuner "professional" card can allegedly do this and has a host of extra features. I'm guessing I wont be able to tune the newtec modulation channels in NPVR which I can live with but I am more worried that perhaps it wont do the auto pilot and rolloff for normal DVB-s2 that would probably be required for NPVR S2 tuning. Does anyone have any experience of this card before I make an expensive mistake?
I did some searching but finally decided to put all my questions together to see if I could get the answers easier. A little history: I've been using DVRs for years, multiple providers, including TiVo, and decided I was tired of the monthly fees so I want to set up my own DVR. I have an IT background but have been mostly out of IT for quite a while now. I feel comfortable building my own computers, but have no idea what's good anymore.
Here's the setup I want:
Two HDTVs
Ability to record 4+ shows at once, all in HD
Don't want OTA, just through cable company
Ability to watch recordings on either TV
What exactly do I need to accomplish this? Advice on specific hardware would be appreciated. Not afraid to spend some money but would like to keep it reasonable.
Here are a few extra questions:
How do I set up multiple tuners, do I need a cable splitter and run multiple cords?
If I have to run multiple cords, do I run one from the wall to the cable box, then to the splitter, then to the PC?
Will I be able to switch between recordings and watching live TV without an issue? I want it to work as much like a normal DVR as possible.
My HVR-1600 that I used for SVideo input died on me, so I thought I would use my HDPVR's SVideo input instead.. is there a way I can configure my channels such that some use the SVideo input, while others use the Component?
This way I could keep the SD content at 480i, rather than needlessly filling up disk space to have them recorded in 1080i over component..
