dng is an adobe file format, I've added dng to the store of extensions in config.xml (so I can see the file) and installed the codec from here http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/DNG_Codec so I can see the picture in windows explorer, but I can't view it in NPVR.
The menu for selecting subtitles was a great improvement, would it be possible to do the same for audio track as well? Lot of out channels have both AC3 (5.1) and MPEG (2.0) audio, and I have a bunch of videos with multi language audiotracks.
I decided I wanted to try watching Grimm and since it is on Video On Demand so I thought great, I can add a channel with no EPG start LiveTV tune it with the cable remote, and Ctrl-K but instead I get "No Show Info" . Would it be possible to generate an immediate manual recording for one full hour on Ctrl-K if there is no EPG data? If the time was wrong I can adjust this on the Recording screen.
I know this was talked about before, but it still is going on, and there is still no good way that npvr will inform you that it is "recording" a 0 byte file.
In the status window, it should report error, or bytes/sec it is recording, so we know.
Even change the color of the title bar to green for recording OK, red for error would be OK.
In this case, I know that the reason was poor signal at the time it tried, though, watching it now it works ok.
strength=36, quality=35 (took 32ms to check)
then about 55 mins later when I got home,
strength=36, quality=99 (took 16ms to check)
It should also reset the channel if the recording is 0 size, and retry a signal lock again for X tries. That would be nice.
I used GBPVR for some time, then mainboard issues put the PVR on a back burner.
I'm setting this back up now on a box with a new mainboard, and a Hauppauge 1600, with NPVR.
WinTV 7 works great- IR blaster fine, recordings fine, video image great.
NPVR though just shows a black screen for live TV.
I was using WinTV7.0.x from the install CD. I tried upgrading to WinTV 7.2.x (latest on their site) and I have the drivers in place (installer step 1) but WinTV itself I could not update to 7.2 as I don't have the CD handy. WinTV still works fine though.
I put on the AC3filter1.62B, no change.
My video source is from set-top box to analog TV-in on this card. Do I need the "softpvr" utilities mentioned on the wiki perhaps? I expected not, since I had a WinTV install already.
I'll see if I can dig up that CD (I hate that) but do not at the moment think is is involved. In the meantime, I have seen via search that there are a couple posts about this issue but no fixes that I could see.
log directory and config file attached. This is under WinXP. NPVR: I had the August 2.6 release in place, then added the Oct release with the extra patches when I noticed this issue, without a change
Good news for ClickFinder, after talking to the developer i just got a mail from him:
Code:
I'm sorry you had problems with the TV movie Clickfinder.
We have been assured that the TV movie Clickfinder should not be set. The current problems are, unfortunately, entirely on the relaunch of the website tvmovie.de (and today clickfinder.de) due.
Please try to update the TV again now. Unfortunately, there was a temporary technical problems with the provision of information by television TV movie. Meanwhile, however, this is fixed. Also, the download links are working again. Please excuse the inconvenience.
Please email us again if there was still a problem with the TV movie Clickfinder.
Perhaps there's an option to update the used pathes now for tvm2xml. Just as an info to you. Your workaround is working fine too. ^^
Hello all,
I'm trying to use NPVR as a better capture device than the rather clunky ArcSoft module that comes with the Hauppauge HD-PVR installation disc. Installed NPVR ok, main window opens fine, Hauppauge appears as a device present and enabled in settings, but hitting Manual Record gets only the following exception message and the program seizes. Probably missing something obvious, but not a clue!
