I am having a problem with the recording service getting stuck. Everything shows that it is still recording a show that should have ended hours ago. When I try to view the file it is only about 5 seconds long. If I stop and then restart the recording service it will normally work for one or two recordings and then it will freeze again and I get another 5 second recording. The most recent instance that should show up in these logs is "Ice Age Mammoth Christmas". I have the recording still too if that is helpful.
I have a Hauppauge HVR-4000 that I am trying to get to work with NextPVR, for viewing analog live tv. After I installed SoftPVR as desribed in the wiki I was able to successfully scan for channels but when I start NextPVR and click live tv all I get is a black screen and no sound. Tried with the different MPEG-2 encoders in the list including the HCW one (which I assume is SoftPVR) but nothing works. I have tried searching the forums but I can't find anything that helps me. I am using the 64-bit version of Windows 7 - could this be the cause of the problem? Did anyone get this setup working?
I use NextPVR with DVB-c provider Lijbrandt (Glashart Media) in the Netherlands. It works perfectly, with 2 DVB-c tuners recording up to 3 frequencies simultaneously (if need arises).
Now, suddenly there were problems. Nickelodeon would not record, and instead of channel RTL-8 the channel Veronica was recorded and vice versa.
So, I deleted Nickelodeon, RTL-8 and Veronica from the channel list under "Devices", and rescanned.
Still RTL-8 instead of Veronica and vice versa. And, when a scheduled recording for Nickelodeon came up, the whole thing crashed again.
Investigated:
* Nickelodeon got a new frequency, and by rescanning it got a new channel ID. Old recordings were scheduled for the channel with the old ID, which did not exist anymore. Hence the crash.
* When scanning the DVB-c, and finding channel names that are in the database, NextPVR does not see it if names are switched by the provider (for whatever reason???).
My solution:
* Using my trusty SQlite Database Browser I manually edited the NPVR.db3 database. Manually I switched (copy/pasted) the tuning information for the RTL-8 and Veronica channels. And I changed the ID of Nickelodeon back to the old ID.
So, here is how to do it if you have such a problem.
To sub: maybe in the future you can work out a solution to do this prettier... Must say I liked the structured approach of NextPVR, so I was able to solve this at all.
I have just acquired a HDX1000 which came supplied with PCH firmware (latest version) (and no copy of the HDX firmware).
I am running an old version on GBPVR (it ain't broke so I haven't upgraded) GBPVR ver 1.3.11
I don't wish to change version of GBPVR if I can help it - it's working just fine.
The NMTchecker log is attached
Most things are up and running - recordings play fine (SD mpg from uk freeview). Fast Forward smooth at approx 2 times normal.
I understand rewind is not possible (in gbpvr black screen then return to menu). (I can't believe it doesn't work in the PCH software either, but there you go).
I can not get skip/seek to work at all - any tips - what keys - nothing seems to work? help!
On a UK Freeview forum I recently complained about spelling mistakes in the EPG meant that I had missed some series recordings. I hadnât mentioned I was using NextPVR and was asked what recorder I was using as most PVRs use the âseries_idâ to locate recordings in a series so spelling mistakes in the title should not matter. Does NextPVR have the ability to use this âseries_idâ instead of the title to identify recordings in a series?
I have been testing NextPVR against Windows Media Center (Windows 7 Pro), I've had a few problems with recordings not stopping (one, 1 hour recording went on for over 8 hours until I stopped it manually) and the PC would not going back to sleep after recordings had been completed. But after installing the latest acumulative patch, and removing Windows media Center all seems to have been resolved.
Now I think this may become my PVR of choice, a few more weeks of testing will confirm that.
My question is that I have installed the TV Listings, SearchLite and the Weather plugin's and in the settings menu deselected the standard TV Guide, Recordings and Search in the plugin's menu now the main menu items menu is in a really confusing order Live TV, Exit, SearchLite, TV Recordings, TV Listings, Weather etc.
Is there any way that I can rearrange the order of the items in this menu?
I have searched long and hard and cannot discover any proceedure.
I'm currently displaying NPVR on an HDTV and using the IR remote to control it. However, I would like to be able to modify the settings using the remote as well. Has anyone figured out any way to access the settings and modify them using the remote?
Anyone working on the NMT or MVP pages on the NextPVR wiki? The MVP page is blank and the NMT page is a little hard to follow
I had a quick look in the NMT sub form and found all of the stickies to be quite old and seem to be GB-PVR focused - is there a NextPVR NMT/MVP resource which people are using that I'm not aware of...?
