Sorry to be posting something so basic, but how the hell are you all controlling volume?

I read posts about selecting between master vol and local (I can't find any such settings in misc2 or anywhere else). I read posts about using left and right (keyboard buttons), but I can't see any indication of anything happening when I do this.

I look up keyboard shortcuts, but there are none listed for volume - it just states for remote use Vol up and down. This does not work on my remote - unsurprising, considering I set up my remote through EventGhost, so it doesn't do anything I haven't told it to.

What I want to do:

Control volume (obviously) and mute, using keyboard and remote (I can set the buttons myself as long as I know what keyboard buttons to emulate etc). I also really want to volume to be local (ie not system volume) so that it doesn't affect the other apps which require sound out.

Obviously someone knows how to do some of this, unless everyone is watching TV with no sound! Any help appreciated...

I want my Colossus channel lineup to be identical to my HVR-1600 analog channel lineup but NPVR is assigning new channel numbers and telling the blaster to change to the channel that NPVR is assigning each station instead of using the actual channel of the station. What can I do to correct this?

This plug in has been working fine until today when it now throws an exception error. The only thing I have been messing with is remote issues.

Log attached.

Is it possible to have connections from 2 NMTs at the same time? I just get a blank screen which kicks me back to the NMT main screen after a while when trying to connect when there is already an existing connection.

I have an A-110 with the newest firmware and have the following problems:

1) I can't figure out how to play a DVD rip folder. If I either select the .dvd item or press Play on the parent folder nothing happens. Do I have to turn these into ISOs or MKVs?

2) I can't get DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD passthrough from MKV via HDMI to work. I always get just plain DTS and DD. I have the newest firmware and have the HDMI audio settings of "DTS: DTS-HD (Raw)" and "Dolby: Digital (Raw). I am using the same HDMI connection that I just used for my PC which passes through both of these fine so it is not an AVR problem. Has anyone been able to get this to work?

3) If I play a TS recording and then an MKV with VC-1, the MKV plays back all pixelated and the playback won't go back to normal until I reboot the A-110. H.264 MKVs never seem to have this problem and the problem doesn't surface with VC-1 until I play back a TS/MPEG2 recording.

Thanks for any help.

I am in the process of setting up an MCE compatible remote to manage both nPVR and my Win 7-64 HTPC. The remote I bought for a cheap $20 from eBay, included a usb ir receiver and is shown in the following pic. The button reference chart is included within a file attachment.

[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]

I wish to customize this remote and will take one issue at a time. I have gathered that the Win registry needs to be hacked to change some of the default commands sent by the remote and pc actions taken. I have downloaded an attachment from another thread which I will play with next...

First one... Within nPVR and pressing Live TV button.. nPVR goes to Live TV, but Win Media Center also loads and comes out on top of desktop. I need to disable any call to load Media Center without disabling nPVR built in registry commands.

Having a problem that i cannot fugire out. I think I have ports forwarded I am running Windows 7.
I have 8866 forwarded and 7647 7648.
Attached is the web log. I keep getting Not allowing internet based streaming request from: 99.56.133.150 error

Thanks in advance

Due to a recent hard drive failure I've reconfigured my system in a dual boot(this time using TWO physical drives!!) with two identical OSs and programs. Without a functioning HTPC I have no TV and I'd like to be able to recover from any future catastrophic failure by simply re-booting as opposed to recovering a dated back-up or going through another OS install sequence. I think it may be possible to keep the reserve OS's NPVR current by running nightly copy&replace batches. Is this possible and if so, which files are required to keep two installs of NextPVR on separate OSs in sync?

I thought about using one NPVR for both OSs but decided against it because of registry issues.
If someone could create a regedit file that I could merge to clear and point the new folders not on C: then I'd go that route.

Thanks

Hi,

I've suggested similar before, but I would love there to be a mechanism for setting up Freesat* EPG channel numbers without having to do so manually.

If the broadcast cannot be decoded, perhaps the NPVR community could start a collection of XML files for services like Freesat that NPVR could interpret as channel names/numbers/tuning requests.

Just a thought.


* (or other services)

I am impatiently waiting for the arrival of an HP usb ir receiver and MCE remote ordered from eBay. I have gotten the suggestion to purchase this $20 package, and customization/hack input from other threads. I foresee the possibility of many hours of learning, installation, configuration, and customizing of controls both in and outside of nPVR. The Wiki just describes the Hauppage 45 button remote.

I would like to see on the Wiki a simple, well thought out, and non geek speak approach for others to follow if they choose this option. I would like others input to help me with this setup, and help with documenting this approach for the Wiki.

Good/bad idea? Any takers?

Greg
