I'm having problems with comskip starting the commercial skip too soon and ending it too early. I miss a minute or so just prior to the skip and end up with a minute or so of commercials just after. I've not really seen any complaint here but looking at the comskip forum it looks like I should by changing the "edl_offset" setting. With the March donators versions however, there is no edl_offset setting. Is anybody else running into this with NPVR? If so, how are you dealing with it? Thanks.

Since I updated to 2.2.6 I have had a problem with back to back shows. The first will record and the second only records a few minutes. This also happens if I am watching something and the tuner becomes unavailable because of a recording. A couple of examples are Burn Notice last night and 19 Kids and Counting the evening before. Logs for both are included. BTW this is the analog portion of a Hauppauge 1600. Burn Notice was scheduled for an hour and the tv guide showed it as an hour. 19 kids and counting was a half hour and again the tv guide showed it as a half hour.

Any help would be appreciated.

Greetings. Long time listener; first time caller.

I have 2 identical Hauppauge HVR-1800s in my Windows 7 x64 NPVR box. The 1800 is the PCIe version of the 1600 in that each card has a physically separate analog and digital tuner. The digital tuner does QAM or ATSC but not both at once. So, between the 2 cards I have 2 analog inputs and 2 digital (clear QAM in my case) inputs (4 physical coax connections). FWIW, the 2 ATSC tuners are present but disabled in the NPVR configuration (and 0 channels associated with them).

This is a new (different) box for NPVR; I was using an older/slower box for GBPVR (and a single HVR-1600 tuner) until about 6 months ago. This NPVR box has a squeaky clean Windows 7 installation, the latest drivers/software updates all around, etc. etc. And no issues tuning any of the individual channels (I've been dealing with Comcast clear QAM channel musical chairs with GBPVR/NPVR for the last 3 years).

I *think* this is a recent development, but trying to record different shows on different channels at the same can be an exercise in futility. I'll explain.

Attempting to record 2 simultaneous shows on 2 different QAM-only channels is successful for the first show, but not for the second. It doesn't matter if I switch the tuner preference order, or which channel I start recording first. Clean logs from that test are in the Logs 2 Digital 1 Fail.zip file.

I also experimented with multiple channels that I knew were available on both analog and digital (and merged in the channel list). I got 99 (79-105), 78 (117-1008) and 19 (91-8) to successfully record at the same time, but trying to additionally record 8 (80-202) fails. Clean logs from that test are in the Logs 4 D-A 1 Fail.zip file.

Now here's where it gets strange: I started with the same channels: 99 (79-105), 78 (117-1008) and 19 (91-8) but then added 10 (79-107) and that worked fine. Clean logs from that test are in the Logs 4 D-A 0 Fail.zip file.

Furthermore, I also found that of the merged digital and analog channels, attempting to add a 4th recording to the above test only fails for channels 20 (80-209), 13 (80-201), 8 (37-4), and 7 (80-202). It works fine for the remaining 8 channels!

I'm completely stumped. I've tried both tuners separately in empty npvr.db3 db's and they work fine. Hauppauge drivers are latest & greatest. I even started over on my npvr.db3 db. I started with just 1 tuner, scanned for and re-mapped all the channels, and verified I could watch a digital-only channel while recording an anolog-only channel BEFORE I added the second tuner card (and copied the configuration to the new card and merged the duplicate channels). Same result.

Could this be similar to the issues described in this thread http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...VR-to-work regarding dual 1600's and duplicate 'pins'?

Thanks,

Hi,
I have been using a very old version of gbpvr for years now, the configuration was very simple i used to set the channel changer to "USB-UIRT Plugin" i cannot find where to add this device in the next pvr settings, only an area saying channel changer > executable and arguments. Sorry for this basic question but the settings are very different to my old trusty 6 year old version of gbpvr.
Thanks for an help you can give.

Now i am back on tracks with latest hotfixes for NextPVR and here starts another problem (updated server and clients yesterday to latest NextPVR versions). Under normal circumstances i would start a new thread, but i think the problem is related to this fix: http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...ion-(when)

If i start on the server or client live tv, then all is good. The bufferfile is created and streaming runs fine. Ok, but the problem starts if i switch the channel (up/down keys or directly numbered). I can see, that the bufferfile of the old channel is deleted as it should (yep, this is working fine) and the new bufferfile created. But this new bufferfile doesn't grow and the tuner will stop working.
I have to leave live tv and reenter it so this channel will be showed. You can imagine, that this isn't a usefull behavior of watching and zapping tv. ;D
Do you have any idea to fix or at least workaround this problem?

Using the R2, I have noticed that my CPU fan is constantly on. Probably due to firefox being open at same time, and my cpu is an AMD E-450 (netbook). With ProgDVB, it doesn't heat up the same, but ProgDVB is buggy.

I looked at task manager, and see that NRECORD.EXE is running too.
I don't record, just watch live TV. Is there a way to make NextPVR lighter?

Hello everybody!

I'ts a few days I'm gladly using NPVR.
I use it to record TV shows captured with a cheap chinese USB2 Tuner based on AF9015.

My problems with DX, after installing the patches, have being completely resolved.

By now I'd like to record the medias directly to my NAS, to watch later the videos on TV with the media player;
but every time I try to change the record path to redirect on the network HDD I get an error and I need to restart the Nrecord module after resetting a local path.

Does anybody encountered the same problem?


here there is my "crash.mdmp" file.

thank you everybody!


PS:
I use Antivir
Windows Firewall is disabled
Comodo Firewall is set to do not block, Npvr.exe, Nrecord.exe, Ntray.exe

Wasn't sure whether to post it here or in the main thread, decided to try here first.

I'm having trouble with audio sync on the MVP with mpg-files. When I worked with gb-pvr 1.3.7 I think I could correct the problem with a small skip (backwards usually), but I'm not sure because these are usually the kids movies and I don't always watch with them.

So, I have a lot of dvd's for the kids. I think it's not possible to watch the ifo's and vob's, so I converted them into mpg's. Not all of them, but a lot, have these audio sync problems. I tried tmpgenc and anydvdconverter for conversion, but I'm not sure if that makes much of a difference.
Is it the mpg-filetype? Would it be better to use another type? If so, which one? And do I keep the skip possibilities with it?

Just to make this post complete, I have added a link to download a fragment of an mpg-movie I'm having this problem with (150MB cut): http://www.megaupload.com/?d=I7PHW0NH
And wanted to add that I don't have this problem with recorded (ts) files and only on the MVP.

Live tv is working in gbpvr but in npvr there is a black piture and no sound. Though the live .ts file is created and plays ok and also recordings aswell.

I installed npvr because gbpvr wasn't picking up all the channels after the transmitter switched over, npvr picks them all up with the scan offsets option but there is just this problem with no picture/sound in live tv.
