This may be a stupid question, but is an internet connection required to watch live tv using this software?
I'm using a wintv HVR 900 usb freeview stick. Its all configured and worked just fine when i was connected to the internet, but when disconnected it says "unable to communicate with recording service"
Does anyone know whats wrong here? the computer isnt always connected to the internet so i dont want to always have to be connected.

Anyone care to help with the wiki page for configuring Analog devices? Please post below if you know what the configuration settings mean and how to use them.[URL="http://www.nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Configuration.AnalogueDeviceSetupDialog"]
I am in the process of switching over from GBPVR to NPVR. I almost had every little thing set up the way I want it and I did something stupid. Not sure how to fix it. From the channel screen in the configuration I meant to click "Details" and I accidentally clicked "Delete". The channel promptly disappeared from both of my tuners. I have tried re-scanning and it comes up with a big fat blank screen. How can I get my channel back? I need help. It acts like the channel is still in the database but has been marked with an ignore flag or something. Not sure why when I re-scan I get nothing.
Please help.
I am running the current version of NPVR (2.2.6) and I have an HDHomeRun dual ATSC tuner. I can play the deleted channel from my GBPVR setup and from the HDHomeRun GUI so it should have a signal sufficient to scan it. I don't really want to edit the database directly but it seem my only option barring starting all over. Not sure what to do.
Hi,
I give this for your information:
I am a vivid user of shortcuts and one of the things I have is shortcuts in my documents/pictures and music/videos directories which bring me to me several nas drives that I have;
NextPVR however gives an "unhandled" error when it finds these shortcuts in my home directories and does not even get into the first branch of directories, it simply blocks;
when removing the shortcuts from the home directories it works fine.
Think it (NextPVR) should be able to deal with the presence of these type of links/shortcuts as it works good in VLC and even VMC/MCE.
rgrds,
Poul.
So as an Android Market user, I have access to some basic statistics related to the downloads of my apps. One of these is the default language the device (phone / tablet) is set to use. At the moment I can see 26 active installations with most using English but I've discovered the following (the last figure in brackets is the number of users)...
I thought it would be a nice addition if I gave users text in their native language so I'm looking for translations. Ideally, if you're one of the above using the app, if you could spare the time to go through the various screens and menus and provide translations, I'll include language files ASAP.
Alternatively, I can provide a list of text used and hope that any native speaker of the above languages can help out.
So I'm playing around with WHS 2011 on a spare box. But after setting it up and reading more about it online, it seems that WHS is little more than an expensive NAS. Microsoft has dire warnings about installing other apps on WHS, claiming they may "break" the server. WTF? I'd like to use this PC as a server/HTPC/browser via the TV. Can this be done with WHS or would it be better to just install Windows 7? I just wonder if there is some magic in WHS that isn't obvious to me. :confused:
I've just uploaded a new version of the TVListings plugin at the wiki.
Changelog:
Quote:- added additional check to recognize external EPG updates
- fixed fallback mechanism for multiple possible images
- fixed opening the default manual recording popup
- changed keymapping to toggle the current guide from Ctrl+Y to Alt+Y (yellow button)
- updated amazon lookup to reflect API changes of the webservice
- added support for the numpad keys to jump to a specific channel in the listings
Please note the following when upgrading:
- the new version does not contains skin changes
- there's no need to overwrite an existing "TV Listings.db" database file during upgrade
- by default, the plugin sends information about the next recordings to the 'now playing' notification area on the main screen, this can be configured through the settings form of the plugin
I would really appreciate any insight that someone may have.... it seems there is a tremendous amount of knowledge on this forum.
I have looked through the forums for an answer to this, but have yet to find anything, so....
The issue occurs when I am recording one show and try to watch another or have two recording set to go at the same time. With live TV, as soon as the second show attempts to start, NPVR says" ... unable to communicate with the recording service..." With a simultaneous recording NPVR doesn't work either, but I don't have that on the attached Log files.
Basics of the system:
Win7 64 bit
TV Tuner 1: ATI 550 Pro
TV Tuner 2: ATI 650 Pro
Both are used only in analog and the workaround of analog cards using WinTV7 was used so that the program would see the cards.
Note both cards are available on Window Media Center, and two shows can be recorded there simultaneously, so I think it is some setting within NextPVR.
I have tried both the latest updates and the bare 2.2.6 versions of NPVR, and a few different versions of the ATI software, and also left the system use only the files that Windows uses in the absence of any ATI drivers. All versions of the driver software work with WMC.
I have removed one card at a time, and both work individually without issue.
This only happens when I attempt to use the cards at the same time.
Has anybody seen this before, or have any ideas of this to try?
I would really appreciate anything you folks may have!
I upgraded my server where my Videos reside (not TV Recordings). Now, when trying to access a directory on that server with nPVR, I get an Unhandled Exception. Happens on the clients too. There isn't a bit of info in the logs either.
