A recent post indicated that they can't perceive the new highlighting of currently playing shows. On my NMT it is really drastic (image no border), on the PC it is a little more subtle. If you don't see them maybe check colourspace, contrast and brightness settings.
I have installed an Astrum TV-PCI card in a Windows XP SP3 PC with DirectX 9 and the card does not show up in the device menu.
The device works fine with the proprietry software supplied. I have tried uninstalling the software to ensure that it does not interfere with NEXT PVR but to no avail.
Any ideas?:confused:
Quote: - added some logic for accessing the NextPVR UI via html, using http://<server>:8866/touch/client.html. This is still quite rough at this stage, but hopefully will be usable example for people experimenting with rolling their own basic clients for smartphones or tablets or maybe Roku etc. You cant play music/video at this stage, but there is beginnings of support for it. If developers find this useful, then I'll take it further. Thanks Brian greatly improving the html/javascript.
For those of you who may have spotted the above in the change log this is just to provide some further information.
As sub says, it is a bit rough but it provides some interesting potential for new client apps. Probably of most interest for potential developers but I've created a page on the wiki which explains a bit more about how things work and the various scripts.
Apologies to the Wiki keepers - I couldn't work out a better place to put it.
I've created an Android demo app which works OK (bearing in mind this is all experimental) - see the end of the wiki page. It plays music and video on my phone but needs relevant 3rd party apps installed. I'll be providing some limited support but no promises.
I've created a thread for developers and non-developers to provide a point for discussion...
I don't see this thread as a support thread for what is available at the moment - it would be nice to hear from developers and users of various client platforms that can use this new feature in order to find out about its potential.
The new blu-ray rip/folder support is great but I'm not getting the option to resume playback like I did when I selected the .bdmv file directly before.
SearchLite has been updated to utilize much more of the information that is available in the EPG data that sub now makes available. Previous versions of SearchLite did allow some of this functionality but the information will be much easier to get it for movie star-ratings and genres.
As a recap movie rating searching is done by using the . key on the keyboard or the 1 key on the remote. Hit the number of periods equal to number of stars you search. If you wonder why I didn't use the asterisk key, I am saving that for wild card searching in the future.
Genre searching is also available, but you need to run genreLite in PostEPGUpdate.bat as explained here. http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...enre-Maker I am probably the only one that used this before, maybe some of you, especially in North America will be motivated.
Thanks to the hard work of UJB, a lot more information is returned when you Search too (First Run, Original Air Date, Genre) and SearchLite includes the 2.3.6 option to record only New episodes.
As a reminder since some people like to search by letter like the built-in Search, if you hold the remote/keyboard left or right keys you can quickly move by the starting letter.
Finally improvement to accented character searching are available using the AltGr key standards, and the accented characters available on the number keys on the remote enabled with Ctrl-F/FF Thanks to Reddwarf and his help testing this.
Thanks to the extensive work sub did for 2.3.6 EPG handling, imageGrabLite is now able to more accurately rename files and download cover art based on the show's original air date, or movie release year. In addition to the existing function of renaming TV show to Series.S##E##.Episode format movies will be renamed to MovieTitle (year) format when the year is available. Cover art will match the year of the release too, if it is the first show with that title in the database, unfortunately NextPVR doesn't differentiate files by the year.
Other changes in pattern matching will mean more titles will match based on the alternate names stored on TVDB.com and themoviedb.org
For users in North America with unique_identifiers for their episodes movies and tv series will be handled differently so you will be able to have files renamed to "The Firm.S01E03.Chapter3.ts or "The Firm (1993)".ts format. I do have a bit of tweaking to do on this.
