I have several hundred videos from SageTV that I am trying to watch through npvr. I am finding that the recordings with AAC audio play but no audio plays out my HDMI card. I have been trying to use AC3Filter as the decoder.

I thought I had everything configured alright, but yesterday evening when I wanted to play back a (digital) recording it turned out differently.
I think because I had channels of an analogue and a digital tuner merged, I didn't notice before that the video being played back on the MVP was from the analogue card, not from the digital card (whick had a higher priority).
So today I disabled the analogue card and tried to watch live tv or play back a recording (made with the digital card). Now I get no video (black screen) and stuttering audio. I can see and hear the files normal with windows media player and also on my laptop (client) with NPVR (so no firewall problem or codec). Just not on the MVP.
I am sure I have the correct dongle (20 febr 2011, showing when starting the MVP).
Also, I can play back mpg-files normal, it's just with ts-files.

I've done nothing new to my setup but add a new HDTV. I am now fully HDMI but with 2 systems hooked to the PCH, one works everytime but the other is hit or miss. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I've done nothing but change the screen res setting to both. It's not the firewall but other than that, I have no idea.
Before I start from scratch, I wanted to ask here first.
Here's the result of the NMTChecker:

On my soon-to-be-live npvr install on a new box that is running in parallel with the ever reliable old GBPVR box, I got shouted at because a couple of recordings went missing.

It looks like that during scanning, a channel (may be more than one, just that one has been noticed) is found on a mux that it is not really on and that mapping picks the wrong one by sods law.

Channel in question is "challenge" and is on the mux at 730MHz but is also detected at 546MHz and this is what seems to get used.

Attached zip contains log from a scanning run starting from an empty database also a listing from ScanchannelsBDA that shows what that finds.

I have a vague feeling it may be a broadcasters fault combined with subs excellent system of detecting UK channels that are "part time".

Hi

Been finding some index errors coming up after stopping a video. Seems to happen on from the video library and from existing a recording.

Here's the JIT error:

hey sub, thought i'd continue the conversation from geekzone here.

where do i put in these values

Quote:Most likely you've got incorrect LNB settings. If you dont know the specs for you LNB, in NextPVR you can try all 11300/11300/11300 or 10750/10750/10750. These are the settings I use on my two different LNBs. You might require different settings, but give these a go.

Hi

I really like the MVP idea, a dumb client that you turn on and its gets its menus from a server (nPVR) and all the plugins. As the only way to do this now seems to be MVP (not MVP-HD unless anyone can corrent me), the Popcorn hour and some other NMT that Martin gets working (Martin which NMT will your client work on?).

I really like the idea that the MVP is small (5-10 watts of power used), nice and easy way to hide it, however due to the above its looking like the nPVR client maybe a good way to go, however i notice the nPVR client doesn’t pull its menus from the server, only the recordings, guide and tuner information.

Is there a way (an option like "tuner / recording / guide" and "true client / server") to have the menus rendered locally AND it pull all the plugs from the server as well (acting like an MVP does)?

This means you can really have a dumb client install, tell it where the server is (from a share) and it pull everything from this server so install and configuration of all your plugins are not needed on each client.?

Might be a wish list idea maybe?

I'm having issues with my EPG setup. I don't understand what's wrong...about 6 months ago mc2xml started giving me a TCP error instead of downloading any new listings. This was when I was using GBPVR and I've (incidentally) formatted my PC and started using NPVR since then. And my firewall is off.

So any hints on that would be great, but I've moved on to plan B: storing the xml file on a server and downloading it from there. That should be possible based on this text that I found in the wiki, but I can't figure out how to make npvr look there. The wording suggests that I can actually point NPVR to a web address, but my options on the Import screen for EPG Source are just XMLTV and Schedules Direct.

You will need an XMLTV grabber to download your EPG data into a file, and then point NextPVR to that file which can be stored anywhere on your system. NPVR can also link directly to an XMLTV file on a web server. Configure your grabber according to any given instructions. Once you've set the options correctly and executed the grabber it will produce a data.xml file (the name may vary but the extension will always be ****.xml).

Thanks for any help!

My EPG data will signify a new episode by adding a * at the end of the episode name e.g. Battlestar Galactica *

Handy for recording just new episodes. Problem is, for series I've Created a Link with, I just noticed that I seemingly have to do it twice. Once for the episode without the * and once with.

It might be a nice tweak it ignore the * for creating a link.

I have finally decided to give TV Listings a go, as a replacement for the built-in Recordings and TV Guide sections.

I'm having two issues:
1. I use 2 x DVB-S tuners to watch NZ Freeview, so I don't have an XML TV listings. Is there any way I can download the extra info into my recordings without this?
2. When in the TV Recordings view the highlighting doesn't work properly. I think I've narrowed it down to 'Played' files. When I am scrolling up and down through the recordings the selected file is not highlighted if it's been played. This makes navigating difficult as I don't know which file is selected. Is this a bug or have I not configured something correctly?

Thanks!
