sometimes when my computer win 7 wakes up the UI aspect ratio goes to 4:3 when it should be 16:9. How do I fix this? I suppose on the wakeup.bat I can tell it to restart npvr. I've told npvr that the UI is 720p and 16:9 and when I check it still is.
I think it does this because upon waking up the computer outputs 800x600.
The output is an ATI HDMI output with it's special adapter.
I thought I would post this incase someone else finds it useful.
There are a couple of ways to do this but this one works for my setup. I needed a way to switch to the Amplifier (SPDIF) for NPVR playback and for iTunes playback. I call iTunes from the NPVR menu for Music.
The two attached scripts select device 1 or device 2 in "Control Panel >> Sound" in Windows 7.
If you have more than two devices in "Control Panel >> Sound" then you can change the number of "DOWN" arrows in the script to select different devices.
I added these scripts as "Custom Tasks" in Settings >> Plugins and called them "Amp On" and "Amp Off".
Depending on your requirements you may also want to try Imline's AudioAdjust Plugin or the DPDT tool. DPDT worked intermittently for me.
If you have a slow system you may need to increase the sleep durations in the scripts.
For the nDroidService I have a thread which uses the HttpListener class in synchronous mode. I create the listener instance and then use...
Code:
listener.GetContext();
...which blocks the thread until a request comes in. I then process the request and respond within the same thread and loop back to that line to listen/block again.
I want to expand the code to just simply take a request and put it out to a different thread to handle in its own time rather than process in a synchronous manner. I've looked at the BeginGetContext method of HttpListener but I can't get my head around how to use it and I'm not sure it's what I want anyway.
Anybody have any ideas for handling multiple HTTP connections/requests/responses simultaneously?
I'm considering a re-build of my NPVR box for a few reasons:
I need dvbs2 and t2
I want a smaller case
I didn't envisage 2 clients and HD when I put it together
The old one has been "up" for 4 years...wondering what the longevity is of a permanently powered up box?
I want to.
The motherboard I'm looking at only has 2 dimm slots and quotes 16GB as the maximum memory, I am assuming this would be enough to get rid of the swap file to avoid non-pvr related disk read/writes, but what can I look at/monitor on my current server to see if I'm going to exceed that?
I've got process explorer from sysinternals on my box, when I look at the Memory tab it reports several things:
I am having an issue on one of my two clients where the system will freeze after a comskip skip. The system will eventually resume play after a few minutes or if I do a few short skips forwards or backwards. This happens whether it is an auto skip or if I do it manually. I have tried several different decoders, uninstalling and reinstalling NPVR with no luck. This is happens for both analog and digital recordings but doesn't happen with some old analog recording made with GBPVR. I didn't do digital recordings with GBPVR to test that aspect. I do not have this issue on my other client but I do have an issue where the system will occasionaly jump back a few minutes when it reaches the end of the recording.
Something I see over and over in the log file of the machine with the issues is "GetEventCode() returned: 0x8104". I don't see this message on the machine that works. I am not sure if that is a clue.
as a newbie here i would like to say well done to the developer/s this works fantastic on my windows 7 home premium 64 bit the tv streams flawless for me and as a added bonus the wireless remote control i use with windows media center works just perfect with PVR many thanks
When I start livetv after using whurlston's YouTube plugin, sometimes the meta data that shows up is from the YouTube PlayVideo metadata. This typically happens when the video is not yet rendering and the screen is black. When video is playing I see the LiveTV meta data.
Hello
I can not get any sound on Swedish TV4 News (Boxer)
Right mouse, audiostream say==Track1 [HE-AAC, swe)
in decoders view I can only see for HE-AAC "mainConcept AAC decoder" or disable
A silly question but it did not seem to be so on mine.
Can someone clarify, if I select a program to record on a client in the EPG does the program record on the server or the client? IE once the recording is set I can power the client down?
I thought I should post this as a new thread rather than keep extending the old one.
I do the following to obtain a list of shows: Recall >> Select a saved search >> Run
I then arrow down to one of the shows and then hit the ok button. This gives me a "No Matches" message box. In the past (if I am not mistaken) it would show a menu that would allow me to record the selected show.
