I've just uploaded nDroid v1.6.5 to the Android Market

Quote:* Fixed bug which would cause crash if SD card not available

Hi,

I've got a series recording that i ended up having to cancel and reschedule because NPVR kept cutting off the last 10 minutes or so. Now instead of recording 1 file it records 4.

I think I've killed the series recording now by going to recordings > pending recordings and removing all references to the show. Is this the correct way to remove a series recording?

I find it odd that it would allow repeat series recording that overlap, is it a bug?

Thanks

Brand new install of nextPVR on a brand new box. The built in Picture Viewer gives me some error "E_FAIL" and something about "COM". When I look in the logs I see this...

I searched forums but didn't find anything...sorry if its an already answered question. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Hi.

I'm having problem with NPVR 2.2.6 with latest patches.

Windows 7 x64
Hauppauge HVR1300 for analog channels only.
Hauppauge HVR1200 for digital channels only.

Live TV
I can switch from analog to digital.
I can switch from digital to analog.
I can switch from digital to digital.

But I cannot switch from analog channel to another another channel. When I select another analog channel, the live preview screen will freeze and nothing happens. (npvr didn't hang)
I have to go to a digital channel before I go to another analog channel.

For example :
I cannot switch from analog channel A to analog channel B.
I have to switch to any digital channel from analog channel A before I can go to analog B.

May I know what is the problem?
Thank you.

I am facing some inconsistencies with this program's user interface. Is the developer still active in it's progress?

I am still working with it, and will put forth a wish list if an interest is shown.

I am gathering that Sub is working to a new release that may cover a few issues that I, and notice that others are having. I have viewed in a few threads and sense that he is past fixing current release issues, as the new build has changes that cannot be applied to the current release.

My current problems are:
- fast forward, pause, rewind, without a wait time to recover, whether live or recorded.
- comskip inconsistency, may not be from Sub's work!

Wishes:
- Option to save recordings in .mp4 format, so I can view on a Roku box. Yeah it is me again!

I have dug deep into getting this app to do what I want for me, and appreciate the documentation updates on the wiki. Very nice!

I wish to control my htpc strictly by using mouse commands. The Programs plugin allows this except for selection of the selected shortcut, which requires an enter press on the keyboard. should be a quick change in code, and goes back to consistencies in user interface that I brought up earlier. Thanks for the updates to TV Listings plugin, which is now completely mouse friendly!

Hi guys!

I am running Windows 7 on any machine (a very bad decision, if i consider that windows 7 prefers media foundation codecs instead directshow ones ...). I tried PowerDVD 11 and was very impressed at the TrueTheater HD options. Old SD material from 1967 looks really great with this one enabled!
But ... i don't like the PowerDVD app. And it's not funny to migrate with NextPVR. Often enough i just want to play a whole folder of my media archive and this is just no comfortable enough to relizie with PowerDVD inside NextPVR.

So i look for an alternate. I think, ffdshow could do partially this, what i want to replicate (TrueTheater HD) [COLOR="#D3D3D3"][strike]but ffdshow won't be loaded into the system. Everytime the Microsoft DTV decoders are preferred, even if i raise the merrit of the directshow ffdshow to the max.
This is really annoying! Microsoft DTV decoder is ok for most purposes, but often enough not ideal (e.g. if you're watching a dubbed video with subbed scenes, the microsoft one just don't honour them and don't show them).

How can i tell windows 7, that it HAS to use the selected directshow decoder, in this case ffdshow?

To be honest ... i am already thinking about to downgrade my mediacentre back to windows vista.[/strike][/COLOR]
Ok, the merit problem could be fixed with the "Win7DSFilterTweaker". Finally ffdshow is used for .h264 codecs.

So there's one problem left: how to replace/add/selfbuilt cyberlinks TrueTheater HD ...

A short one (but i don't know if it were easy to realizie). I wished, i could choose the display adapter used for NextPVR because i am using an Intel HD Graphics 3000 and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti with Lucid Virtu in d-mode on my system.
Of course i can put NextPVR to the apps which should be rendered by the iGPU, but because this is a virtualization not all features are available, especially because Lucid didn't optimized Virtu for NextPVR.
Problem: If i disable Virtu or remove NextPVR from the app list, the GeForce is used. I got often enough a black screen within the NPVR window. This is NOT a NPVR problem! If i enable Virtu and add NextPVR to the apps list, the the intel HD Adapter will be used, but many functions are just not working (like DXVA2 ... 20% cpu usage on an i5-2500K while playing back a sd mpeg is a bit funny, isn't it?)
So i just wish a dropdownmenu within the settingsscreen where i could set the graphics adapter which NextPVR should use.

But i know, not many people are using this combination, especially with NextPVR (5 ppl? 10 ppl? I don't believe that it's much more) so the priority is of course very, very low. But it would be nice. =)

I upgraded to win 7 from XP a while back, but couldn't get everything to perform as well as on XP so I reverted back to XP until this weekend when I thought I'd give 7 and NPVR 2.2.6 another go.

I decided to use 'Tiny7' instead of my regular Windows 7 installation since it is so much smaller and hence loads faster etc.

Anyway, after checking and installing all the prerequisites and NPVR + the latest updates I was up and running, but a problem I'd not been able to solve last time I used win7 has appeared again.

nRecord.exe idles at 0%-1% CPU usage, but every 3-5 seconds it blips up to 50% (I've got a dual core CPU, so assume max on one core), then it falls back down to 1%. Task manager shows the memory allocated to nrecord changes as the CPU usage changes, but what is it doing, and why? It always idles at close to 0% on XP (same hardware). I've left it for several hours and the periodic CPU usage seems endless. I've tried stopping and restarting the service, stopping the tray icon, and running/not running NPVR. all result in the same periodic CPU spikes.

Logs can be uploaded later (at work now, logs are at home!), but looking at them last night shows nothing out of the ordinary.

I'd appreciate any help, advice, comments anyone can offer.

Stuart.
