Just asking why this couldnt be the next mvp replacement probably already been talked about but i couldnt see anything in the forums

Do I have a netframework faillure?
Plenty of aplications that use is show no issues whatsoever, but think this is the only explanation.
I used to use 2.1.4, but after NPVR froze up again (explain this at he bottom), after a reboot(2 weeks later) reinstalled 2.2.6+patches, ever since I get errors, tried to use versions 2.1.5 + 2.1.4 again those showed pretty much the same erros.

- The receivver still works, cause I do receive the channels in MPC-HC + later tested it on a laptop (old one and not an alternative to my pc, but good for testing), which recorded fine.
- when trying to update EPG, it fails, but after restart of program, the tvguide is acurately updated, but won't record,in version 2.1.4 it does not manage to show an updated tvguide after restart npvr.
- when clicking record I get this error, after closing the clicked title is red indicating it's recording, but nothing is being recorded.


-----
Now about something I've been meaning to ask about for a long time, NPVR stalls from time to time when clicking to make a new recording, this happens once every couple of weeks. Now whils I do not reboot ofter I think I've had the problem also within a day once so that not it.
When NPVR stall, sometime it ca't be killed not by multiple taskmanger or even Porcess Hackerss TERMINATOR, the only things left is one thread + these are the handles that I can't kill.
've heard this probable has someting to to with the drivers when this happens. ???




I mainly mention this for a complete picture, this problem right now is on the back burner.

I already tried to verify my netframework installation, it does appear ok.

I haven't simlpy tried to reinstall or repair it, becasue heard it ain't the easiest thing to to, as in it often doesn't have the desired effect, and I want to avert a reinstallation of windows at all cost, I'm just not in the mood.:mad:

Here are some .mdmp files produced in a crash after the updating of the EPG fails + the errors shown when trying to record.

Hope someone can help me out.

I just got a power usage meter as a gift and now, of course, am scrutinizing all my electronics to death . In any case, when in my MusicMonkey plugin and showing the (static) list of songs in Now Playing my PC uses ~19W. When I go into the MusicMonkey screensaver where it forces an update/redraw every second for the elapsed time, it jumps to ~37W which is pretty much the same usage when watching HD video. When I am using the built-in "FixedImage" NPVR screensaver, every time the image moves the usage temporarily jumps to ~30W and then goes back down.

Is there any conceivable way to improve the redraw "efficiency" or is it just the way it is? Note that in the MusicMonkey screensaver the CPU usage only goes up a few percent from when viewing the Now Playing list (~6% versus ~3%).

I'm having dificulty streaming to my XP netbook. This is not related to any of my ipad querries.
I've tried changing the default to 7640 but still same result.
I've also got firewall exceptions for vlc.
What's my problem?

Thanks

And another goodie to play around. Optimized for virtualizationscenarios this one could be used as mediaserver too. Only to configuring is a little ... complicate:
no devicemanager
no computermanagement
no mmc
no explorer
no .net framework
no open gl
only little direct x
no remote

regedit is at least available.


Not an easy one, right. But it's free and powerful. If you have time or capacities to test, here's the link you'll need: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalc...S2008R2SP1

Official this one is an evaluation copy. But afaik this one is usable for 4.000 days ... ( 14th decembre 2022 ).

Have fun and good luck!

Seems a shame to snip the end of longer artists/tracks as the whole screen is available to use.

Hey all

I've read as many threads as I can find and am a bit unclear as to whether there's a way to play DVD ISO files on the NMT? I have mounted my Video share as part of my npvr.cgi, comfirmed that it is mounted via telnet. When I navigate to a folder with a single ISO inside and press play, I get to the colored PCH screen but then it goes black and back to the NPVR menu. Configuring a SMB Network share to the same folder (using setup on the PCH) I can navigate to the ISO, press play, and after the colored screen I get the DVD menu and all is well. This is a DVD of home movies, no DRM involved. If the folder has a VIDEO_TS folder instead of an ISO, the direct NMT share still works but NPVR never even gets to the colored PCH screen.

attaching the MVP log, the file is called 1990.ISO. Is the "backdoor"method of playing ISO files working in NPVR or was that GB-PVR only?

tyvm!

Let me just say thanks to all of the developers and people helping out with NextPVR.
Being a old GB-PVR user from way back its a great bit of kit and it runs superbly compared to GB-PVR.

I have installed and gotten almost everything working, the only thing left behind is all the broadcast details for my recordings in have done in GB-PVR is there a simple way to dump the GB-PVR database to import broadcast details in NextPVR?

The only other thing I noticed is there is no shutdown/restart/hybernate function and no way of seeing how much disk space is left.

Many Thanks for NextPVR!

Hi Folks:
I am trying to evaluate NextPVR as a replacement for SageTV and have a few "newbie" questions and issues.

I successfully installed nextPVR and got it to work with my analog TVW650PCIE card after digging through the posts on the forum about the "softPVR" compenents required. (Using windows XP Pro, SP3)

I also managed to work out getting the XMLEPG to work after diggin through the wiki info.

Things seemed to be working fairly well.

Current problems. Was trying to get "bulk update" to work so that I would not have to enter info for every channel. This has not worked, and now even if I enter info for an individual channel it does not "stick" so to speak.

I then tried applying the patch files from the announcement regarding the "final" patch version for patches 1-50a. This has now caused the NPVR recording service to fail to start - even after a reboot of my system. Pretty much dead in the water now. Message is:

"unable to start servive: System.invalioperationException: cannot start service NPVR recording service on computer --> System.componentModel.win32Exception ...... etc.

First question: How can I resolve the above? Do I have to completely unistall and start over? I unzipped the files and copied them over as per instructions with the npvr service stopped.

Other questions: SageTV had I think an OTA EPG for analog for Rogoers cable ... is that possible with NPVR?
Is there some info somewhere on using client extenders - i.e. like SageTV placeshiffter - how do you set up the equivalent item for NPVR?
There was some info on the main NPVR site indicating that it was possible to record 2 shows
simultaneously using only one tuner ... is this correct? and how would that be accomplished?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards and Happy Holidays to all .... Dave Melnyk

Just got an A-100 NMT for christmas and trying set it up. I followed the Dummies Guide, but can't get the npvr to load. Below is the output from the syntax checker. I can browse to the NMT from the server, and the NMT can play videos from the server.
