I'm thinking about getting the new BlackGold BGT3600 dual tuner and just wondered if there was any way i could use the built in IR receiver with NPVR? I currently have a Nova-T-500 and use the IR on that put I'm currently having problems with it so would rather remove it.
McBainUK has been doing a nice job getting the NMT pages on the wiki going and combined with the forthcoming demise of mvpmc.org, it's time to do an update. This version takes a few fixes and patches I have released and attached to forum posts over the past months.
- few checks for changes is stop/stop behaviour in NPVR
- patched to work with the YouTube plugin
- accept tinyurl shortened url's
- "Play All" video would not see stops on on mpeg files
- New feature mvpmcx2 supports mp3 audio file seeking from NextPVR SetPosition() Nothing uses this yet, it is working nicely in the next MusicBox4.
I just installed NPVR on a Windows 7 PC. Updated the channels and everything is looking good. I click on the Live Tv in the GUI and it gives me a message: "Live Tv buffer directory does not exist c:\Temp".
I ended up doing a rescan of the channels (ATSC) and it now appears that I broke my recurring recordings schedules. If I look at the Recurring Recordings in NPVR, I can see the list there. If I then select one of the items, it will be channel 0 (with the channel name) and the recording time. If I try to Update it, in the upper left, it will have @channelNumberName instead of the actual channel.
I'm guessing the CHANNEL oid is what changed and the recordings were linked to that. So, I figured I would just go and open npvr.db3 and update the data in the RECURRING_RECORDING table but I'm not sure what should be under the match_rules column. All I see is <Rules> in each one. I tried creating a new recurring recording to see the format of the data and it also says <Rules>, but I know that one works.
I currently can't just go into the EPG and re-select the shows because it appears that they are either not showing now or are in re-runs. So, I would like to do this manually if possible.
I am having skipping issues with sound on NZ HE-AAC. AC3 seems much better, but I have to select it manually every time. Seem to recall being told there was a value in the config which allowed AC3 to be selected as default. I can't see it for looking.... If someone would point the way pls
What are the HE-AAC decoder options ?? would like to sort this as well.... Started off with Monogram, moved to Divx and am now on LAV. Problem is micro stutters in playback which gradually gets worse with time. Lipsync wanders as well. Am getting some grief from the family....
I've had a few BSOD's recently and on the last one, i managed to write down the driver (USBEHCI.SYS). Having done some research, it looks like it is a Microsoft bug with XP SP3 with certain hardware. Has anybody else come across this? I'm just trying to work out the simplest way to resolve it. It appears there is a Microsoft Hotfix (WindowsXP-KB969238-x86-ENU) which has to be requested from microsoft and i assume means paying for support. There are also some 3rd party sites that offer it but i'm not sure how trust-worthy they are.
I was wondering if it might be possible to downgrade just this driver to an older version?
Anyway, if anybody has experienced it and fixed it, it would be good to know how.
I did try to find the answer myself here on the forums, but have given up for the time being.
For the last two years, I successfully ran GBPVR with two wired MVP clients using the MVPMC dongle. I recently dedicated a separate Windows XP machine as a PVR and successfully installed NextPVR with a Hauppauge 1600 tuner card.
I have two issues:
1) The MVPs cannot find the NextPVR server (they can still see the old GBPVR server).
2) I cannot find where I configure NextPVR with the MVPMC dongle. In GBPVR I copied the file into the GBPVR directory and chose it from the dropdown box in the config program.
FYI, as a last resort, I tried installing GBPVR on the new box, but received several error messages during the installation, if that is any clue. The box meets all of the requirements (.net, directx, etc.).
Thank you in advance for any assistance with these problems.
I tried searching for any information on this and when I did the search with m3u as the keyword it keeps coming back with no results found. Manually searching, I came across this post:
which stated, at the time, that nPVR did not support m3u play lists, but that a patch was added to resolve this. I tried the patch listed, but since it was much older than the current EXE file it would not load. I have installed nPVR and the Final Patches (which I checked the list and saw nothing about m3u support) and when I click on m3u play lists from my network drive I get nothing. These list were created in WinAmp, but used to work on GBPVR. Is this supported like in GBPVR or am I missing something?
I am currently running version 1.4.7 of GBPVR on my XP system. I would like to install the NextPVR on my other system. Is it possible to setup NextPVR as a client for an older GBPVR server?
