audio decode is done external via (hdmi passthru ) surround receiver
im running latest NPVR and win 7 pro (x86)
capture / playback / MVP / EPG ect. all works fine
my problem is codec setup:
i configured my machine with this guide (for MPC) http://imouto.my/watching-h264-videos-using-dxva/ then mkv play back was fine (cpu load was less than 10 pct.) but halli splitter diddent show internal sub from mkv file in EVR render (it still told me about the sub streams and it was selectable but didn't show)
now i run latest SAF (unlocked) in EVR render
subs work fine but playback is horrible - it feels like hardware render doesn't work (deselecting subs don't help)
grapstudionext show that play back is run via NV12 output so it have to be done via hardware or....
im stuck; can anybody point me in the right direction either via SAF or tell me how to make halli splitter show subs in EVR render
In previous versions I sometimes got a recording that was really small (200 MB) and didn't play at all. I was hoping this was solved with the latest version (out of process recording), but unfortunately it happened again. I tried to record "De Wereld draait door (VARA)" at 19:29, it recorded something, but it's only 219 MB and it doesn't play. The file properties show the file was last edited at the end time of the show, so npvr was definitely recording, just without audio and video . Logs attached.
hi:
started using npvr and have some problems with live tv picture which i believe are deinterlacing problems. my m/b is asus m4a785 with hd4200 onboard video. im using ati vivo codecs. this will correct itself if i toggle from auto to fill, but fill does stretch a little. this is being test on a computer monitor, but will eventually be run on an hdtv. im wondering if the hdtv will deinterlace correctly. it does not do it on every channel. i have tried ffdshow and that does not cause this problem, but the ati decoder only uses about 20% cpu whereas the ffdshow runs in the 80% range. any ideas?
Yesterday, i updated my EPG (UK Freeview) and then set a few Genre colours using the new set-up screen. Today i went back into the Genre set-up and noticed that they were all duplicated. I tried emptying the EPG and reloading but it is still the same.
The odd thing is that if i change the colour for one of the duplicated items, then close and re-open, it changes them both. So they really are duplicates.
I can add logs etc if that will help. Is there any way i can clear the list?
I just updated to 2.3.6 with no other changes and suddenly all my HDHR recordings are failing. The log says "No BDA capture filter for this device"?? Is there some additional setup I have to do for the HDHR for this new version (it was working fine with NPVR before)?
I've been running my NPVR server on a 42" plasma but decided today that it would be useful to have 2 monitors so that i can do odds n ends on it while it is still being used as a TV. I also thought it might stop the occasional annoying "Update" pop-up i get from a couple of sources like my HP printer software because these should pop-up on the other screen.
So i've added a small monitor which is now the primary display and i'm using the Plasma as the secondary.
I've ticked the box in the NPVR setup to start it on a second monitor so now, when i start NPVR is comes up correctly on the Plasma. All is ok until i try to watch something and then it all jumps back to the primary monitor.
1. Make it so that the chosen color sticks even if the Genre is disabled. I'd like to be able to set some colors and then enable/disable them as needed.
2. Come up with at least a handful of default colors for the most commonly used genres so that users can try enabling some genres without having to sit and pick colors. I'm never happy with the colors if I choose them myself, but usually will be content with whatever is preset. If you don't want to pick colors, I'm sure someone more graphically inclined than I could choose.
I realize the genres themselves must come from the EPG data, but undoubtedly there are a number of genres that are commonly used and could have their colors pre-set if they're present.
I like the new channel groups option, but am wondering if I am missing something - how can this be used? So far all I've found after setting up a group is that when I bring up the channel list with the context menu, I can display the contents of the group.
I would like to be able to look at the TV Guide listing for a channel group, but if this is possible, I haven't figured out how. Is this possible?
Hi,
I downloaded and install new version of NPVR on my PC (Windows 7 Home Edition x64) and now I cannot see Live TV.
I uninstalled old version and did a fresh installation with the new executable, rescan channels and redo settings like with the previous version but when I choose Live TV the program shows a black initialize window and stays forever.
The previous version worked correctly.
My TV card is a USB dongle: MSI DIGIVOX Micro HD
