I have had a few recordings that while in the middle of playback the times in the timebar suddenly go to 0:00 and I can't skip forward or back anymore (although it continues to play the file ok). Strangely, this only happens on 2 of my client PCs while it doesn't happen on my server or 1 of my client PCs. I have attached the logs from the "good" client and "bad" client. Notice in the bad one, after a few skips it reports the current position as a very small number. I also have included the server log but for some reason there is no evidence of the "good" client playing back the file in the log even though all the clients are set up the same to access the server??
Can an XBOX360 be used as a client(and with live TV)?
A buddy of mine is considering switching over from WMC.
I personally haven't touched my xbox or ps2 since they became superceded so I'm not very familiar with thier capabilities.
If so how would he do this?
I have a Zbox AD02 running as a client in the kitchen, but I got a WAF downgrade e-mail this morning because after a resume from standby she "claims" she often sees an error on the screen saying "server database not found". Of course I didn't believe her so this morning she sent me photo evidence.
After clicking ok to dismiss the error npvr imediatley fires up and all is fine, but I cant understand if i'm getting the error because it did not go to sleep properly or because it woke up and kicked of npvr before the network was initialised of similar.
I have setup event ghost run a batch file when the power button is pressed that kills all NPVR related processes then put it into S3, then it runs them again after resume. That seems to work if I hit the power button but if I leave the machine idle I dont see a way to run batch file before it sleeps due to the sleep timer.
anyone got any pointers?

I use two Nova T 500's for DVB and a PVR 150 for a Satellite Set Top Box.
With PVRX2 I could set the video and audio bitrate for the PVR150, with Next PVR I can set the video bitrate via the config.xml but have been unable to work out how to set the audio bitrate.
Is there a way to set the audio bitrate to 224kbps it currently is 384kbps.
I have an Acer dual core Atom nettop computer, 2GB RAM, Windows XP SP3, US version with Plextor ConvertX M402U analog capture device. This computer works with GBPVR software extremely reliably for about two years. It never missed the recording, I am extremely pleased with it, just analog TV is becoming outated.
About two months ago I purchased HDHOMERUN, European version, as the unit is being used in Europe. Installed NextPVR, which did not work initially as NextPVR was unable to see "DCR-2650 / HDHR Prime" tuners - as they show up now, and are neccessary to record european broadcasting. After installing HDHOMERUN and PextPVR updates (not sure which one helped) I am generally able to record. My current version of NextPVR is 2.2.6.
The problem is however, that after restarting the computer NextPVR is able to record one to two scheduled programs and then - when the next recording starts - the recording service creates a new file with zero length and the CPU utilization becomes very high, no actual recording takes place. The only cure is to restart Recording Service from the tray icon and - in this case - a new file is created, this time the broadcast is recorded properly. But when the next recording starts - the situation is the same again, zero length file and high CPU utilization. After a full computer restart - about one to two shows are recorded and the situation repeats itself again.
I normally do not have physical access to that computer, but when I had I remember that the tuners were not released after recording (that is the lights on the HDHOMERUN were on after recording). The only way to clear them was to start HDHOMERUN QuickTV for a second and quit, which was releasing the tuner used by QuickTV. I installed the recent patches, which were supposed to solve the problem, but no luck (I do not know if the lights stay on now).
Also, I was looking for NextPVR log files, which - think - are supposed to be in c:\Program Files\NPVR\logs directory, but the only subdirectories found in c:\Program Files\NPVR\ are "Other" and "SoftPVR".
Sorry for my long post, but I tried to be as precise as I can.
Thank you for any help you could provide,

PS: GBPVR and Plextor converter is still installed and still works very well. For now I am attempting to record in parallel on GBPVR/Plextor and NextPVR/HDHOMERUN. GBPRV works wonderfully, NextPVR works after I restart the recording service each time. Then the record simultaneously, no skips, no problems, just the problem with initial start of NextPVR recording each time.....
This may be coincidental but I recently installed the 'Web Radio' and 'Weather' plugins. There was a warning from the Program Compatibility Assistant that 'This program might no have installed correctly'. With both installations I chose the 'Reinstall using recommended settings' option rather than 'This program installed correctly'. The plugins seemed to run OK but I started getting jerky video with TV3(HD channel) so decided to unistall both plugins using the uninstall.exe files provided.
Later I found that I was unable to launch NextPVR or the Recording Service.
The following two paragraphs are a summary of what I have tried.
A check showed that the Recording Service was not running. An attempt to start it using the Start/Stop NPVR Service option gets the following error
'Unable to start service: System.InvalidOperationException:Cannot start service NPVR Recording service on computer'.'. ---
System .Com,ponentModel.Win32Exception:An instance of the service is already running
--- End of inner exception stack trace ---
at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.Start(String[[] args)
at NCtrl.ProgramMain(String[] args)
I have reinstalled the patches "NPVR 2.2.6 Patches R2" and restarted Vista. Again the Recording Service was not running. An attempt to start the Recording Service using Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Services results in the error
'Windows could not start the NPVR Recording Service service on Local Computer. Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly.'
I don't understand what is going-on and short of a reinstall of NPVR I am out of ideas?
Having an odd problem with NMT live TV. I get twenty seconds, then a stutter, then the same twenty seconds repeated, it keeps going round the loop until I hit the stop button. I tried with both the PCTV-T2 tuner on HD and the Hauppauge Nova-T 500 on SD with the same result, the tuner appears to drop out after the first twenty seconds (the LED on the tuner goes off anyway). Playing live TV on the PC is fine, as are recordings. This is following a full win7 re-install, then installed NPVR and mvpmcx2 using the dummies guide, this was a couple of days ago, it was working fine before the re-install. Logs attached, I tried watching HD, then SD on the NMT, then watched TV on the PC. I have tried restarting the PC and the NMT.
I have a directory full of undeleted live TV buffer files if that makes a difference.
I currently have a HDHR and HDPVR. The HDHR is tuner 1 and 2 and the HDPVR is tuner 3. When recording With the HDHR I have no problems with the correct channels and the mappings are identical. But when something is recording on the HDPVR and I try to watch live tv on the HDHR tuner 2, I get a problem when trying to watch NBC. It will lock onto PBS kids instead of NBC. This only happens with the 1 channel and only happens with live tv. I have tested the tuner while recording and it locks onto NBC fine. Any ideas what could be wrong?
it seems the video inset window is activated with home key, but i can't get back to full-screen with home...
Unless i go all the way back to main menu, then home works to undo video inset..
Bug?
in recordings screen, hitting it twice does work...but no way i can see to get back to fullscreen in video library...
kinda makes using it cumbersome, as you lose your place in npvr and have to navigate back to where you were..
i tried putting a key in video section of keymappings.xml to no avail...even tried mapping 'end' key to "home/inset" but didn't work..
is this slated to be fixed or intentional?
Thanx
Since upgrading my iphone to IOS 5 I can't login with it whereas it works fine from google chrome on my laptop.
Anyone else have this problem or have any clues how to fix it?
Looking at web.log it seems the password hash value doesn't match
