I've also been having record crashes. with it starting to record something, then just stopping after about a minute. I downloaded the latest version, but can't get it installed. It says that the service is stopped, but the old NRecord has locked everything up, and it won't let the new version install, I can't delete it, and I can't stop it from task manager. How do I stop this thing so that I can start over?
Finally got it to stop by going into the startup and disabling automatic startup of programs.
Installed latest version of NPVR, but now it won't see my HDHomerun. What am I doing wrong? I've downloaded the latest HDHomerun firmware, set it to OTHER, but the NPVR Device only gives me an error message. See attached LOG.
I recently received my TBS 6981 dual DVB-S2 from their shop, shipped out of Singapore. It installed easily and showed up in the devices applet no problems. It works great with DVB-S2 channels and changes channels as quickly, or more quickly than any card I've used before, and is also very quick between transponders. It is a little slow to initialise on first use, but not as slow as my Twinhan/Azurewave cards were.
All in all, I am extremely happy with the way the card performs in nPVR and can recommend it whole-heartedly. I only wish now that I'd spent a bit more $$$ and got their new quad-tuner card. That will have to wait until I'm a bit more flush
I don't know if it is an issue or not but all my ATSC captures (LiveTV and in-progress recordings) don't show as having the proper 1920x1080 aspect ratio in the ffdshow info, yet if I run them in as Recordings or in GraphEdit they do. My HD-PVR and all the DVB h264 samples I have also show the correct aspect ratio.
I have asked before for an option to have AC3 default for LiveTV (I'm not really sure why this is so tough) to improve the really awful audio sync I have, I guess now I'd also like to ATSC work like h264 and default to 1920x1080 AC3.
This is the (new) support thread for ReClockOrNot, a plugin that allows ReClock to work with NPVR by disabling it during Live TV and Recordings where it would ordinarily be incompatible with the multiple audio codecs in use simultaneously.
If posting bug reports, please ensure to include the log files from either C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Logs or C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\NPVR\Logs.
Please note that although ReClockOrNot hasn't changed for a while, updated - and simpler - installation instructions have been posted to the wiki for it. Thanks to Lao Pan for working them out.
Some of my recordings are failing and when I look at the recording, it says "Device Failed to Start". It seems somewhat random. Last night, it recorded a show from 7:30 to 8:00 just fine, but failed to record one at 8:30 and another at 9:00. I tried restarting the recording service and even rebooting with no luck. I then tried to watch live TV and got an error about locating the capture device. This has happened before, but is not consistent. I am running the most recent version of NPVR on Windows XP. Any ideas?
Hey sub - i have an issue with my tvguide - sometimes I have to press the arrows a couple or 3 times to move just one show in the time line
below is a couple of screen shots - both highlighting what should be celeb apprentice that starts next tuesday - the first image is highlighting "confidential" which isnt even shown on screen, and then when i hit the right arrow key one more time it then shows the details for "celeb apprentice"
also note in the image that amazing race oz is set to record but doesnt highlight. I have 2x nova S+ cards and i wonder if its showing 2 tvguides - one on top of the other causing the problem?? also i wonder if that has something to do with the duplicate recordings i sometimes get?

I dont know if logs are going to be of any use but here they are
It's easy to change params of hdpvr without having TME even installed!
when i got an optical cable, i didn't want to have to install TME just to change the audio input, so i opened the filters in graphedit to see what was actually changeable..
And turns out, lots in there to play with...[compression settings, filters, etc]
Seems like they all stick when set this way too...
[This should also work for *any* tuner, including Colossus]
Anyways, to change audio inputs to optical:
download and open graphedit...
insert Hauppauge HD PVR Crossbar filter.
double click the filter, should look like pic below...
on right side, select 'video decoder out' and change to 'audio decoder out'.
on left side, change to the audio selection you desire, hit apply..
change right side from audio to video and back to make sure it stays..
notice the 'Current input' and 'Related pin', they should show how you want it to be set..[ignore what it says when 'video decoder out' is selected on right side]
as long as when audio is selected on right, the left side info show s correct it's all good..
Done!
now go play with encoder settings if you want to[HD PVR Encoder filter]...i just disabled all filters..mostly they just clean up snow w/by-product of blurring pic..
[note: all bitrate settings get overwritten by npvr when recording, so no use changing those]
I'm trying to install npvr on a computer with this graphic card, but I get a bsod in NV4_MINI.SYS as soon as I start NextPVR. Anyone else seen this and possibly have a solution? I have tha latest drivers installed and runs W7Ux86.
After six months in storage, my faithful GBPVR-based media centre has developed one very odd behaviour: a scheduled recording will no longer wake it from sleep, as it always has before. I know that sleep problems are common, but the reason that this is so odd is because other scheduled tasks wake it just fine, as does a button on my remote control. Has anyone solved a similar problem?
Before anyone asks: yes, I am still using GBPVR, and I have little choice. The main purpose of my media centre is to simulate American TV channels by streaming live feeds from the internet. Unless someone has created a plugin for NPVR (or Mediaportal) that is similar to CarpeVideo's GraphRecorder, I will have to keep using the legacy system. I hope someone can help with it.
