I've just installed PowerDVD 11 and know you have to manually register the filters.

But which ones should I register as there appear to be more than 1 in the audio and video directories.

Any pointers greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Today I've been tidying my home and have been watching shows on the main TV (which is connected to my NPVR server) and on my laptop that I've been moving about (NPVR slave). I've had both on at the same time and try to keep them on the same channel.

A cool feature or plugin would be to have an option to make the client display exactly what the main TV is viewing, and even better would be some mechanism of synchonising the audio.

Just brought one for Gym room
While playing with it I figured out that from the FaceBook app(you can use it like a web browser) within the media player you can enter into NEWA and can get into tv guide and actually set up recordings just the same as you can from a PC
You can use a mouse and keyboard with it also
I have tried many media player and this is the first one that you can actually browse the net
Thought others might be interested

While searching the last weeks for information to get something similar to TrueTheater HD i found a lot of sites who promised "great" things with ffdshow and avisynth. Last but not least: all of 'em seems to be only empty promises. There is nothing comparable to TrueTheater HD available. -.-

Ok, but this isn't his what i wanted to share with you. I found a website with useful informations for configuring and tweaking a htpc with different 3rd party tools:

http://www.homecinema-hd.com/intro_en.html

It is not errorfree, i guess. But this page is a good start to collect some backgroundinformations for setting up a nice htpc experience in combination with NextPVR. Some of the mentioned software (like ReClock) are already covered by our member imilne. He has some handy-dandy-useful tools for using ReClock (ReClockOrNot, RefreshRate) and additionaly a plugin called "AudioAdjust".

At the moment i am playing around with a bunch of settings and the qualitative experience is far better then my english knowledge.

Perhaps you want to try out some stuff for yourself or just collect useful informations for 3rd party stuff for our wiki.

EDIT 1:
Instead Media Player Classic Home you should use NextPVR
Instead MadVR you should stay at VMR or EVR, because MadVR isn't supported by NextPVR (afaik)
Instead AutoFrequency you should use RefreshRate from imilne (it works great!)
Instead DVDFabKey you should use AnyDVD (i don't like Fengtao; they steal code from other people and say, it's their own work and for this they want money ... a lot of money).
CoreAVC is fast ... nothing more. An awful picturequality (like all cuda based decoders), i wouldn't use it.

EDIT 2:
User of a SandyBridge CPU could tryout the latest ffdshow releases. There's QuickSync Support from an intel developer for MPEG-2, VC-1 and AVC available. But to be honest: i couldn't find out any difference. It could have something to do, that the developer isn't using the full potential of QuickSync and just copy every frame into the slow ram. CPU usage seems to be identical to the libvcodec, perhaps a bit higher.

EDIT 3:
I think the quicksync support within ffdshow is just a blender. I have enabled quicksync support on an i3-550 (clarkdale) which hasn't any quicksupport capable support and it runs (the ffdshow osd confirms it). So i think, that the ffdshow quicksync support is just a fake.

So if I have a base set of buttons and them want to add to it, change it, can I force the list to be reloaded?

I've tried a this.uiButtonStrip.NeedsRendering();
And calling the this.GetButtonList();

Anything else I can try?

Is that something that I can access via API?

I have a number of DVB-S cards but am wondering if any can be used following my latest NPVR rebuild on W7 64 bit. I have a Technisat Skystar HD2, Twinhan 1022 and 1030. Feel like I'm clutching at straws but has anyone found 64 bit drivers for these?

Thanks

XMLTV schedule is not updating. The current update only goes to daytime Dec 26, 2011. Nothing for the evening of Dec 26 and beyond.

Is everyone having the same problem?

Is there an alternate schedule that's usable?

Hi All,

I've finally pulled the trigger on a new machine and I'll be upgrading to nPVR into Windows 7. Any tips on whether it should be 64 bit or 32 bit?

I want to use the following hardware:
adaptec 3610
pvr 150
remote wonder plus

software
ir suite
HIP (I'm not sure if it works on 64 bit or Win 7 but I'm crossing my fingers)

Can anyone comment on the drivers and such for this hardware?

There is a new DVB-T channel in Australia, TV4ME, which supposedly broadcasts in MPEG4.
I have the following tuners: Winfast DTV1000S, Winfast DTV 2000DS and Winfast Dongle Gold.
I can play the channel using the Winfast software, on all the tuner cards.

However, I can't play this channel with NextPVR in Live TV on any of the tuners.
Wrong decoder? Probably.

So, should I be changing the MPEG2 decoder in Settings or H264 decoder? Changing the H264 decoder has no effect. Do I have to restart the recording service after each change?

I have the following H.264 decoders. All give audio but no video: Arcsoft Video Decoder, ffdshow DXVA video decoder, ffdshow video decoder, DivX H.264 decoder, CoreAVC Video Decoder, ATI MPEG Video decoder (makes NPVR crash) and Microsoft DTV-DVD Video decoder.

If I do Media Info on the Live TS file, it says MPEG Version 2. So, is the channel lying when they say it will be MPEG4? If so, why does my regular MPEG2 decoder not work.
VLC plays the Live TS file, and again says MPEG 1/2/3

Any suggestions?
