I've installed NPVR on Windows Home Server 2011. I have an HDHomeRun Dual.

I enabled the firewall for nrecord and npvr. When I try scanning channels, I get the following errors in the log (and no channels are discovered, even though I see it locking on some):

at NShared.HDHomeRunScanningForm.HDHomeRunScanningForm_Load(Object sender1, EventArgs e)

Any suggestions on how I can resolve this?

Thanks.

Hi, is there a way that I can disable the recording option on clients (running on windows XP) I tried making the recording path read only but this just crashs the system or makes it ver unreliable.

I know there is an option to make the client a TVviewer and not a pvr, but I want all the menus still so I can access music and videos

Cheers

I have a dual-boot system: Win 7 x32 Home Premium and Win 7 x64 Enterprise.
NextPVR 2.3.6 on both.

On the HP system, the font rendering is good. See HP screen shot (left) vs the one from Enterprise (right).
What settings have I not got correct?

Please see the thread for v1.7.5 release...

my tv guide is blank as of last night, midnight end of 2/1/2012. I noticed it last evening when i was scanning the guide for shows to record.
I thought a might have a epg data problem and updated my mc2xml, then i checked my xmltv file and it was loaded with data for over 7 days.
I was searching the forums last night and could not find a similar problem.
I thought i was diw but found my reoccurring recording were showing as pending. and found that i could search guide and find shows in the future.
When i got home from work tonight i tried a forced epg update and still had no listing on the guide, just a channel list and blue screen.
I did find that pvrx2 does show the listings in the guide.
the only changes that i have made in the past 2 weeks was in my channel list due to my available channels being changed by comcast. before that the system has not been changed in over 6 months.

my system is an amd 64x2 4400+, 2 gig ram, 1 pvr500, 1 pvr150ir, irserver for blasting to 1 stb and 2 dta boxes
running xp pro sp2 gbpvr 1.0.16
logs are attached.

OK, I am lost.

I read the documentation, I thought I had it straight, but obviously I am not and I am missing a few steps...

I registered with ScheduleDirect and got my "free" activation.

I have a Hauppauge HDPVR and I am trying to have NextPVR to get some programming guide... so far no good.

I am missing a step. In settings I can see my PVR card - so far so good - but where to you input the ScheduleDirect information?

Do I need to run mc2xml to grab the info from ScheduleDirect? Any ini/xml files to modify? I thought that NextPVR had ScheduleDirect integrated somehow...

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

I was just musing over the prospect of using a Kinect as a remote so I googled it, sure enough someone is already on the case:

Is this the next big thing? or just a waste of time and money?

I reported problems with the lineup that I was using. There is a more correct lineup I need to use (different name).

I have gone into my SD account, have 2 new lineups added to my SD account (When I first had issue updating NPVR, I added several lineups to SD as a test).

I went to NPVR settings, deleted all channels by selecting all the channels in "Analog recorder settings" for my card, and then deleting them.
I exit back to main NPVR screen by choosing OK all the way back out of the settings feature.

I go back into "Device Setup for the tuner, no channels are there. I hit "import", my SD credentials are there, I hit "import" and.. instead of having the 2 lineups that I now have in my SD account, I still have just the name of the old one. I can import a channel listing set, my credentials are fine, but I can't pick the lineup I need.

Where is the reference to the old lineup coming from in NPVR, and how do I clear and update the lineups that are in the NPVR lineup dropdown?

Thanks!

As GB-PVR slips into to the twilight, I thought it might be worthwhile having notes on the how to completely clean up GB-PVR and also as a guide for those finally taking the plunge. I don't know if this thread is enough or if a wiki page is necessary, regardless here are my thoughts.

- save recording-dump.xml and import into NextPVR
- cancel all recordings to stop wake up
- modify XMLTV scripts for NextPVR
- uninstall GB-PVR from Add/Remove programs
- remove the GB-PVR shortcuts from the start menu
- remove registry keys HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\devnz or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Wow6432\SOFTWARE\devnz
- uninstall mpeg muxes
- check for your files etc stored in devnz\gbpvr folder
- backup(?) and delete devnz\gbpvr folder
- edit REMOTE.INI to remove GBPVR\PVRx2.exe
- remove GBPVR, and PVRx2 from firewall exclusions for EWA etc.

My Stuff
- Save playlist from devnz\gbpvr\NetRadio for use with WebRadio
NMT
- delete GBPVR.html and GBPVR.cgi from \mvpmc share.
- clean out older (2010) files in mvpmc shared left by NMTInstall

I recently installed the "Programs" plugin to run Nintendo ROMS on my HTPC. I have it set up to launch a program (nestopia.exe) with a file (.nes files). I currently have 26 directories set up to do this (one for each letter of the alphabet), I did it this way because navigating all of the games was taking way to long with one complete directory. So far, this is working great! My only issue is, once I am in the program (nestopia) I can't get back to nPVR. I do not use a mouse or keyboard with my HTPC, only my Hauppauge 45 button remote, and to play the games I am using a USB NES controller. I have tried to configure nestopia to exit using the controller but I can't find a way to do it anywhere (which makes me think it isn't possible) but what I WAS wondering is if there is a way to close the program or even just navigate away from it using my remote.I tried pressing all of the buttons on the remote while in nestopia and I was able to get it to drop down the GUI but I couldn't get it to open any of the menus or close the program itself. I was wondering if I could edit the remote.ini file or something if only just to switch screens back to nPVR.

Thanks
