I thought i would post this question...., i have 2 clients (XP 64bit and 7 64bit) looking at the same server, both have identical video cards, but this problem is the same no matter what video card is installed. All settings between the installs in the NPVR are identical including themes
However the Windows 7 install has way larger fonts used meaning text overlaps just in NPVR (didnt matter what theme i used).
Why would this happen (its Windows 7, but what does the theme look at over the font size, both systems are 96DPI with no zoom enabled and 1920 x 1080.
Ideas?
Both clients work fine, just a font size issue, the UI zoom in the NPVR settings are both 0 and dont effect the font itself.
I'm playing with streaming using HTTP and when the client requests a file name which has 'space' characters in it they're replaced by '+' characters. Example...
So in my software I replace '/' with '\' and '+' for a space giving me a valid file name for the recording.
It occurs to me though that someone somewhere may have made a TV series or film or whatever which has '+' characters in the title. I can't think of any myself but does anyone know of any?
This is an ongoing issue that seemed to popup somewhere in the 2.2.6 release (hoped 2.3.6 would fix it). Any HE-AAC audio (all NZ freeview channels) suffer micro stutters in the audio that start out not much of an issue, but if the channel is left running grow substantially worse over time. Occasionally when the wife comes to bed last, she has just turned off the TV, and in the morning when it goes back on the sound is 50% on / off. A simple stop & start resets it.
Advice in the past is decoder selection. I have been through Monogram, DivX & am currently on Lav as part of SAF, and they all demonstrate the issue.... Currently HDMI to TV, but tried reverting to SPDIF straight to amp as original, and problem still exists.
As a test, I installed Media Portal, and running the same decoder setup, found no sound issues (on a sample of around 1/2 hr admittedly)....
So if all 3 decoders used work for other people (and used to work for me!!!), and the decoder I currently have works fine with an alternate PVR, it must be something with NPVR ???
Have attached logs in case they are any help, any suggestions appreciated... Let me know if more info is required.
I have just upgraded install on XP 64bit (x64), doesnt seem to be a problem on installing.
However i have a new PC, running Windows 7 64bit, on installing i get the below box saying "DataDirectory registry setting does not appear to be set correctly", this is a new build, i havent changed anything, whats the installer looking for that this version of Windows 7 (with Server Pack 1) looking for?
C:\Users\Public\NPVR is there though...!!??? not tested the install yet (its a client for the XP 64bit server).
I just noticed that the ts files have subtitles in there. Is there a way to convert but also keep the subtitles? I'm thinking MKV through handbrake? Has anyone tried this?
I have noticed that when I return from the screen saver on the PC the time shows the time before the screen saver was turned on, and it doesn't refresh until the PC time changes. On the NMT it seems to work ok.
Right, time to get to the bottom of this bugger. I've seen this error with a couple of my plugins now, but seeing as they were all written in the same way that's hardly surprising
Here's the first block of code that runs when the System plugin saves its settings (after clicking ok in the Settings dialog):
Code:
string path = "/Settings/PluginSettings/System";
SettingsHelper sh = SettingsHelper.GetInstance();
XmlDocument doc = sh.GetBackingDocument();
XmlNode system = sh.GetSettingsNode(path);
// Clear the current <System> node (if it exists)
if (system != null)
system.RemoveAll();
// Otherwise, create it
else
{
system = doc.CreateElement("System");
sh.GetSettingsNode("/Settings/PluginSettings").AppendChild(system);
}
//Now (re)fill it with data
system.AppendChild(doc.CreateElement("ConfirmShutdownMode"));
// More similar lines follow...
...
"System.ArgumentException: The node to be inserted is from a different document context", "at System.Xml.XmlNode.AppendChild(XmlNode newChild)" is thrown - very very rarely - when it hits that last line of code. Why?
If it was wrong, surely it would crap-out every time :confused:
Testing fixes is difficult because it's so rare. If I open/ok, open/ok, etc the Settings dialog enough times I can usually force it, but I'd love to get rid of it for good!
I'm trying to setup a manual recording to record all "College Basketball*" shows on any channel. The EPG is updating but not recording any "College Basketball*" shows even though there are many instances in the EPG. My manual recording settings are:
Recording Type: Record Daily
Channel: Any channel
Name: College Basketball*
Date: Today
Start time: 12:00am
End time: 11:50pm
Pre-padding: 1 min
Post-padding: 2 min
Keep: All
Advance Rules: None
I've attached a screen cap of the error I'm getting when I try to stream a recording using VLC. Based on the line of code where the error occurs, it appears that the program cannot locate VLC. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and I've verified that VLC is installed at "C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC" and I have the correct paths in "VLC Location (Video)" and "VLC Location (Audio)" under the config screen. Is there some other configuration step I'm missing?
