HI , i hope you all can help me, i'm at a loss.

I have a NPVR setup which can now (using SAF codecs) watch all channels in Freeview in NZ so basically a mix of HD/SD. This part is working fine.

Recordings is another issue, if recorded from SD (MPEG) recordings can be watched fine. If recorded from HD the recording plays fine etc, but with no sound. This is basically on any channel containing an AC3 stream.

I've recorded a short snapshot and opened it in Graphstuido (after much forum reading this seemed to be a common tool) and it looks fine.

Video Stream --> FFDSHOW DXVA Video DECODER --> Enhanced Video Render
Audio Stream --> Lav --> Monogram AC3 --> Lav 001 --> Monogram AC3 --> Elecrard Audio Decoder --> Default WaveOut Device

Can anyone else see the problem here? I seem to have every AC3 filter triggered. If i delete all the audio filters and link the Audio out --> Default waveout it drops all the filters back in again.

Can anyone offer any advice on why this might be happening and how do i "re-map" the codecs?

Thanks
Brian

My server finally died so I'm building another. Loading everything on to the new machine. I downloaded the comskip zip file (v0.80.042) and there is no comcodec.dll file, as the wiki indicates. Am I missing something? Is this not needed?

I have a remote controlled antenna rotator.

Does anyone have a way to trigger an irblaster when a ATSC channel is selected?

Thanks for any ideas!

In the process of bughunting I tried to untick the "Enable WEB-server" in Settings and restarted recording service and NextPVR, but the gadget showing pending recordings still works, and I can connect to that pc via my browser and display the tv guide. Do I have to reboot to make this setting efficient?

Now that the Record Key deletes Recordings I think this should be the same for Videos.

Hi,

Been using 2.2.6 with R2 patches applied for about a week now (really like it) and found tonight that when I skip or seek forwards or backwards while watching live TV I always get sent back to the beginning of the available TV Buffer. Happens on all channels and all capture devices. I have attached a log file that appears to show whats happening. These functions are working fine when watching other sources such as recordings.

Anyone else seeing this? Thanks.

I installed a second hard drive in my PC that will be more or less dedicated to video storage.

How should I go about moving my currently recorded shows from my old drive to the new one?

Does anyone know how I can "wash" my XML-based through program that will remove the "leading spaces" from the XML?
I use batch file that I got from mvallevand (Thanks Martin, still works beautifully) to strip Chinese Characters, now just need to add something to remove the "leading spaces"

C:\Progra~1\GnuWin32\bin\sed -e "s/[\x00-\x1F\x7F-\xFF]//g" -e "s/()//g" C:\Utils\TVXB\XML\TVXB01XML\xmltvHKBTVTemp.xml > C:\Utils\TVXB\XML\TVXB01XML\xmltvHKBTV.xml

ta!

k.

In TV Guide sometimes not showing red when recording is set on the program but it show red in time line is any one else having this problem

I was running v1.5.36 OK. I've tried to update to v2 before and ran into this problem. I would like to get the current version running. So I'm trying again.

As soon as I try to watch TV I get the "Please wait..." then "Unable to communicate"; the channel select takes place as I can see the led flash. This happens within about 3 seconds.
The NPVR-log shows this error:
2011-11-03 06:34:57.328 [ERROR][1] Unexpected error calling StartStream(): System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.

I am attaching the log file.

Let me know if you need anything else.

I'm running XP-Pro on an AMD Phenom II quad 940. Lots of HD space ~3.5 Tb.
