In the UK they donât seem to broadcast any data to help avoid duplicate recordings so many days I end up deleting over half the previous days recordings. For several programmes I have over 30 episodes recorded and over the weekend managed to free up over 70GB of space by manually locating those with the same Sub Title which is a slow process.
Several channels have a format where the same programme is repeated several times, some 2 or 3 times in 24 hours on others up to 5-6 times over a week. Would it be possible to have the option to avoid duplicate recordings if the Sub Title is already in the database?
I have troubles getting my UltraXMLTV enhancement to work from the UpdateEPG.bat file. The program starts and gets stuck requiring it to be killed from Task Manager. Running it from Windows or CMD prompt works just fine.
Logs attached where the stuck process were killed at 2011-11-01 07:41:54.341,
I have the capture card drivers installed, the NPVR software installed, and the patch applied and when I go to record anything from my PVR in LiveTV, it is just a black screen. I have added 1 channel with component as the input source and it still isn't working. Any help?
Installed AMD Catalyst 11.10 today (WHQL Just out overnight) on Vista with SAF6 and HD5760 Graphics Card.
All seemed OK until tried to watch TV and Video - nothing would play.
I've narrowed it down to the EVR Renderer both Standard in NPVR and Custom in MPC-HC. VR9 renderer plays OK.
Went back to 11.9 all is OK - tried a second time still same problem - so I am now back on the 11.9 drivers.
Have AMD done it again - surely the EVR renderer is a pretty basic part of the graphics drivers to mess up??
Or is it just my system.
Oh well lets see if 11.11 work when they come out
Im having an issue with the record season weekly feature. If I try to record a show that has reruns before or after it the record option seems to tack these shows onto the recording. Example:
I wanted to record pawn stars at 10:00-10:30 monday nights. The channel shows past pawn stars at 9:00 and 9:30 and then after the new show at 10, another rerun at 10:30. When I click record for the 10-10-30 slot and select record this season some how it tacks the rest of the pawn stars on... What am i doing wrong? How do I stop this?
Hi, I haven't looked at the actual plugin framework for a while, and just scoping out some of the groundwork I need. But can IMenuTask( I think?) .PlayVideoFile call a file from a URL or must it be a UNC path?
This may or may not mean that I'm back on the tools....
The XMBC info scraper I Use creates episode screen shots with tbn file extensions. these are jpg files but with a tbn extension.
I'm curious if there is a config file that you can specify the file extensions to load in the video info plugin?
First real issue I have had with NPVR. I scheduled 3 recordings back to back on the same station. All 3 have some type of problem.
First show was The Simpsons at Oct 30, 8:00-8:30. This actually recorded in full and I can watch it in NPVR. The only issue is that I can't skip forward or back when watching. The screen just goes blank when I try to skip.
Second recording was Allen Gregory at Oct 30, 8:30-9:00. This gave me a recording that was about 3 minutes long but it was the video of the first 3 minutes of the next show, Family Guy.
The last recording was Family Guy at Oct 30, 9:00-9:30. This gave me an unplayable file (tried VLC and MPC) that was pretty small in size.
