What actually is the âSubTitleâ! Here in the UK the SubTitle is always blank in my database. When it is used I assumed that it was supposed to be the first word or words in the description separated by â:â from the rest of the description. I am trying to find a way to detect duplicate recordings using what I thought was the Sub Title. I started off borrowing a few lines from the Recording Rename script as it uses the Sub Title in the file name but that found nothing. I then tried NScriptHelper.exe which finds the âTitleâ and âDescriptionâ but never a âSubTitleâ.
So "suddenly" all my mpg2 files will no longer play in NPVR... no audio or video. They play fine through graphedit. Reading the post at http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...ot+working, I set <ForceMpgGraph> to false and they all played. I don't know if this is the long term solution, but I haven't made any changes to NPVR for several months so was surpised that this just seem to have happened out of nowhere. Log extract is below (I attempted to play bda.mpg) and screen captures of my settings and graphedit which played the file fine.
So NPVR has been working great after I got it all set up....until today. I get the message "Unable to communicate with recording service" when I try to watch live tv. When I click on device status in my tray It comes up blank. When I go to tv guide all the channels say no show detals. When I go to the settings and try to update epg it crashes and says "NextPVR has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I can play shows I have that are previously recorded without a problem. I have tried to "restart recording service" but that doesnt do anything. I have also tried restarting multiple times. I have tried turning off my firewall, and also added nextpvr to the list of firewall exceptions.
I installed some windows auto updates earlyer today so I think it may have something to do with that. I am running XP if that makes a difference.
Discovered this by accident while editing metadata for a currently selected item in Videos.
To reproduce:
1) highlight an item in Videos.
2) replace/change meta data.
3) witness that it DOES update without you doing anything, but also hard locks the PC.
Probably rare for most, you'd have to edit your metadata on a separate PC (my Videos reside on a server volume) and happen to have the item being changed selected.
So have a weird code problem with c# serialisation.
I have a windows form project using a bunch of classes that deserialise an XML feed. Works perfectly.
If I share. or copy the code files used for the deserialisation (there's a bunch of classes) into a project that is a plugin, then on the very first deseralisation I get a failure in the xml at 0,0 - with the inner exception getting an object reference not found.
The URL location of the xml is the same for both projects. Even saving the XML to disk in the windows form and opening that in the plugin gets the same problem....but saving the XML in the plugin and opening it in the windows form works.
Really stuck. The only possible thing I can think of may be that the Plugin is targeting dotnet 3.5.
Is there an easy way to do this? I don't want to throw up a 'message' since it is shown too long and would rather have a more subtle indicator that I could turn on/off easily while my plugin takes a while to do something.
I encountered an issue (I have installed the patches in the johnsonx42 sticky that cover upto #40) that once i pause a recording and then resume, i can not longer skip forward. It just takes me back to where i hit pause. If i stop and then select resume, i can then skip forward and backward as needed. This is on a client PC see attached logs
