Been a loooonng time user of GBPVR (still is actually), and I'm trying to see if I'm to switch to NPVR. Installed and and configured it pretty easily, but I got 2 problems with NPVR:
1) When I choose Live TV, there's no sound. By default I prefer having AC3 sound, don't know what I'm supposed to set to make it working.
2) I have the 'Audio Decoder Out' set to 'Audio SPDIFDigital In', but evertime I select Live TV, it switches to 'Audio Line In' and so my AC3 isn't 5.1 anymore, it reverts to 2.0. What's up with that?
My current copy of MC2XML stopped working today so I downloaded a new copy. I noticed that the new copy is now version 1.1
I still get new EPG data in TV Listings, but I no longer get XmltvExtras symbols, categories, etc. Nothing has changed in my setup or location of files, just the new mc2xml.exe file. I use the Microsoft legacy service which comes from Zap2it.
Not sure if this is the right thread but here goes.
Due to hardware problems I've just updated to WIn 7 64 Bit and NPVR.
Everything is working fine except volume. I've installed the volume plugin and mapped the right key sequence to the remote so I can change volume, but it is too sensitive.
Using either the remote or keys it changes by 15-20% for each press.
Is it possible to change the sensitivity?, ideally I'd like it too change 2-3% (then if you want a larger amount you hold the key for longer).
I'm having a problem on a new NPVR setup when the Windows Desktop is set with the screen magnifier set to 150%. Whenever set at this level of magnification (so that icons and text in Windows are more readible on a 1080p TV), the Taskbar always overlays itself on top of NPVR. This problem does not happen with the magnifier set to 100% (default) or 125%.
I am using GMOTE and VPLAYER to Browse and play TV Recordings over wifi on my Android phone. Its a nice simple way to access and play files on my HTPC. However VPLAYER has a bug in it that prevents you from skipping forward or backwards. And I have not been able to find another video player that will play TS files.
I have a fresh Win7 HP which is the media server which I recently installed NPVR (will grab spec lists to look at) however, on the client side which is a Win7 Ultimate I keep getting a "connection failed to communicate live recording" everytime I try to watch something.. I see all the channels that it grabs, it just wont let me watch anything.. Sometimes as well it sits there not responding, than will go to a black screen, than will load to the channel list again.. Just wondering if anyone can help me with this.. I'm wanting a setup where I can go in and watch TV on the Media Server in the lounge room, or in the computer (Client side).
Things i have tried so far is enable recommended port. (there were 2 to put in to firewall) however I have also just turned the firewall off completely. I have installed the patch files as recommended on the download pages as well.
Tonight I will be checking to see if I have the recommended stuff needed. Like dotframework etc, make sure it has all that as well, however I dont know if its going to fix the issue Im going to have as i think it could be something to do with network config..
Just wondering if there is a right up, step by step showing how to set this up, I'm pretty sure that I set it up correctly as per the instructions I have read, however maybe there might be something I have missed.
Any suggestions would be great!! Thanks for any help!!

I was trying to watch LiveTV this afternoon and from the look of the logs NPVR was locked up loading the system HE-AAC decoder and didn't renew the lease on 5F40002 fast enough and eventually this put NRecord into a state where there tuner count went negative. I needed to restart the recording service to use the HD PVR again.
anyone have a sample video overlay plugin (or whatever it is called, what is it called actually?) source code i can look at? wanting to have a quick play tonight and see what i can whip up.
NPVR has been updating the EPG at 7am every day without issue then on 26 Sept, it just stopped. The recording service has still been running as it has recorded shows since.
I thought maybe it is not waking up for some reason but then I saw in the log that in fact it was wide awake at 7am and busy "renew lease OK" every 10 seconds.
i will restart the pc tonight and see what tomorrow brings.
log attached if anyone (Sub?) has any ideas.
[actually I just saw a cmd.exe running. I wonder if i had a postprocessing.bat stuck (due to imagegrabber.exe being curiously missing from my pc). Sub, would a blocked bat file stop further bat files from running?]
