When I came home for lunch today, I got a big surprise seeing over 20 of these all over my front year. I wish I could have got a picture of them trying to fly.
For some reason my client has picked up a bug where when either when watching live tv, or a recording, pressing play just results in a black screen. I have to esc and play again to get picture and audio.
During the black screen I can see the HDD light ticking over so it's streaming something, and I can't see any errors in the logs; The stream is just not making it to the display.
Have tried changing video and audio decoders, and renderer, and re-registering all filters, but with no change.
My other client is working fine (and this one used to), so presume it's not the server.
Any ideas?
logs of a failed playback attached.

Are there any new channel changer programs for us users using a set top box and a Microsoft Media Center USB sensor? I had used HIP until the developer decided to not be in any rush to support 64-bit Windows 7 so I have been using IR Server Suite, but it doesn't blast true commands. What I mean by that is say I want it to change the channel to 55. Instead of seeing the light on the MCE sensor flash once for 5 and again for a 5, it pulses 5 times, waits, then pulses another 5 times which sometimes is too slow to properly change the channel.
When scheduling a recurring recording, the only options I see are to vary based on daily timeslot, weekly timeslot, M-F timeslot, Weekend timeslot on a single channel or across all channels. Is there a way to set it to only tape new episodes, so it won't tape repeats that may run in the same timeslot in certain weeks?
Does SchedulesDirect give "new" and "repeat" information for npvr to key off of?
So I got npvr up and running with schedules direct. I really like the UI and testing out the recording capabilities.
One issue I've run into is when trying to set up the schedules direct mapping for 1 of the channels here in the SF Bay Area. Basically, I'm trying to set up the mapping for channel 2.1. However, when I open up the dropdown for the "Mapping", I can't choose the correct entry because channel 1 has 15 subchannels. Instead of showing 1.1-1.15, it seems to show 1.10 as 2.1, 1.11 as 2.2, etc. So the real 2.1 doesn't show up in the dropdown at all.
Does this mapping live in an xml anywhere? I found the values in the schedulesdirect.xml, but I'm not sure where the channel to schedulesdirect channel id mapping lives.
Any suggestions as to how to get this working? Other than that, things seem to be working pretty well.
Having done some research on and off the forum I am very confused. I see a lot or info about controlling tuner/satellite devices from the MCE remote. What I want to do is a little different and I hope someone has some experience to share...
I have a MCE remote and blasters. still using GBPVR, but planning a rebuild and NextPVR in the coming months.
I want to be able to use the blaster as a repeater so I can control my amplifier. i.e. point my amplifier remote at the MCE receiver and have that signal relayed via the blaster to the amplifier unit (which is out of sight)
Can someone help me with a batch file to convert my entire ts files in the npvr recordings directory to mpg and update the recordings database? I'm not good with command lines. I found a postprocessing.bat file for converting after a recording, but I'd like to convert my existing recordings. Thanks!
Had some trouble over the weekend when suddenly my USB Tuner's CQAM Tuner "Failed To Start" And left me with 1 tuner so no simultaneous recordings. Tried uninstalling the device and changing drivers, then updated to latest NPVR. Now I show more tuners than before and I'm wondering if I can delete all devices from NPVR and reinstall the USB Tuner then let NPVR redetect my devices.
