i wonder if anyone could assist me with another question?
Is it possible to record to a different format other that ts?
The reason i ask is that the ts format doesn't seem to play back very well on the Apple TV. I have a facility to convert and move the recorded files, but that seems to take hours for each program.
My wife needs me to transfer a short film from a VHS tape to a USB memory stick ASAP.
We still own a VCR and I still have my PVR-500 sitting in my PC although it's been out of the loop since moving permanently to npvr. In the old days I'd just set a manual recording going with gbpvr but I don't want the hassle of re-enabling gbpvr on my machine (or enabling the PVR-500 for npvr).
Does anyone know of any lightweight utilities that I could use with the PVR-500 to simply record for 30 mins to mpeg format?
Would anyone here know if it is possible to configure NPVR to NOT record program's into individual folders? i.e so that all recordings end up I the same folder/directory.
I'm getting ready to install Xfinity DTAs and I was trying to set up IR Blaster to work with them.
I used the IR Blaster setup program that came with WinTV and my Hauppague 1600, and so far haven't gotten the DTA to recognize it.
Now, the IR works OK with WinTV, but NPVR does not respond to it. RestartIR does not help. Is there some setting buried inside NPVR that I need to adjust? I don't want to uninstall WinTV since I will need it when I get back to working with Comcast.
I made the terrible mistake of building a HTPC for my parents after they saw and liked mine. Have had pain and anguish ever since.
Latest problem has been ongoing for a while, and is sound related. The sound skips (badly), lip sync is out, or combination of both. Every time I am at the house it works fine. Is NZ HE-AAC, so started off with Monogram. Have tried DivX with same results.
Don't have any logs, but hoped this would ring a bell with someone... Is there a third option for decoders???
Is windows 7 (all decoders windows other than HE-AAC), has (My!!) HD4670 for video & sound over HDMI, and is latest build of NPVR with patchs.
Any help (desperately!!!) appreciated.... Cheers Chris
I have been having problems with poor quality recordings because one tuner is recording two shows at once, leaving open tuners unused. I have tracked back and can confirm this is the cause of the poor quality. So I thought I would go back and set each recording to have the "best quality" to hopefully help "push" it to another tuner. I could of sworn that there was a setting for recording quality by program (as well as a default), but when I go in to update and even record anew, I can not find this. Is it my imagination, has it been removed in the latest patches...???
If this feature is no longer available, does anyone have any idea how I can force the recording software to utilize all my tuners before doubling up on one???
Your help is greatly appreciated!
System note: I am using windows 7 x64 and have two Hauppauge 2250 tuners, giving me 4 tuners total.
I've got an eGreat (PCH compatible without harddisk) working perfectly with NPVR. I operate the device with a Logitech Harmony.
To get some more control using the eGreat as music player (MusicBox plugin) I connected a USB keyboard. The keyboard works fine on the generic interface (without NPVR), but apparently the mvpmc2 trick only passes the cursor keys, etc., but not the alphanumeric keys.
Is there a way to pass all alphanumeric keys through mvpmc to the NPVR interface? So I can choose songs more conveniently in MusicBox?
I have a problem with the Picture library which becomes slow and then unusable, and when i activate the taskmanager i can see a lot of excessive memory usage, for instance when i have started nextpvr it says that it is using 59mb, but after leafing through a few hundred photos the memory usage soars to 800mb, so i'm guessing there's a memory leak somewhere in NPVR (that would also be consistent with the programs behaviour of getting slower).
This is a problem i have noticed in earlier versions of NPVR and it might be related to this issue as well: http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...re+library
On another note, is it possible to disable the thumbnail generator thats running in the background? That can also slow things down considerably the first time i view a directory, but it doesn't affect the problem mentioned above.
... or, the newspaper more used then anything else. Important? No. Interesting? Yes, perhaps. ;D
