Hi

I have a Hauppauge HVR-2250, it works fine, i can record one analogue channel and watch another (ive just tested it 2 mins ago), however i had something last night i wanted to record (23 sep 2011, 2000-2100, it failed, i have no idea why, i was watching TV (via a client), i cant find any log files (where are they stored?).

I use Schedule direct from inside nPVR and i notice all the listings have gone (blank in the TV Listings) from 23 sep 2011 2000 and before.

Server and client are Windows XP 64bit, 4Gb RAM, 1TB hard drive (loads of space left), tested today as working fine, like to bebug what happened yesterday.

I recently switched to a HDMI cable on my PVR (see sig for specs).
I've noticed that the video often appears "smeared" on playback. It looks, during moderate speed action scenes, as if people's faces have been partially smeared as if someone wiped their hand over wet paint. It does make for some comical expressions on people's faces, but it's generally very annoying!

I'm guessing that some component of the video rendering process can't keep up with its work, but I have no idea how to go about debugging this.

Any help would be appreciated!

I'm currently a SageTV user looking at alternatives. I have installed 2.2.6 and have run into a problem. After configuring the capture card, channels (DirecTV) via Schedules Direct. When I try to watch live TV or record I get nothing but a black screen. I can watch recordings from SageTV just fine so I don't think it is andecoder issue. Any tips?

Hi

Where do i get channel icons from, then where do they go in nPVR file structure for the web admin to see them?

I see in the config where to set there size, however i cant find anything on here about locating them...

I keep getting Unhandled Exceptions at different points in NPVR. Sometimes when trying to make changes in the guide to recordings and sometimes when checking the weather. Any suggestions?

hello all - (newbie, first post)

i have a hauppauge pvr-150 card that is working fine on an XP box.

according to this link:

http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Nex...23943404/1

the pvr-150 should work fine with the nextpvr program, yet when i go into devices, nothing shows up.

the documentation says nextpvr works with all BDA - and i have the latest drivers for the pvr-150.

any ideas?

thanks!

I am new to this software. Got it installed yesterday and I am trying to set it up to record TV shows. Here is my setup

PC : Phenom 2 955 running Win7 x64 / GeForce 260GTX
Tuner: HD Homerun dual tuner 3rd generation
Public User is on C:\, software was targeted at F:\

As stated above, NextPVR is installed and I can listen to the TV signals I can get. But when I try to record I get error messages. Once I get the error message, I cannot listen to the Live TV anymore unless I restart the PC.

Also, Recording service does not start and can`t manage to get it started either through the Windows services or even with the Start NPVR services.

Here is the log I got, as you will see I tried a few time to watch live TV after my attempt to record.[ATTACH=CONFIG]31789[/ATTACH]

Thanks in advanced.

Does anyone know what the overlapping circles symbol means in the TV Listings display?

Since I have started using the new DCR-2650 I have seen several instances where the recording service seems to lock up, causing failed recordings. It happened again last night. Logs are attached.

This morning when I checked nPVR, the tray icon was red, there was a tuner light lit on the DCR-2650, and recordings showed "The Daily Show" as in process. Previous recording "Always Sunny" did complete properly, but another recording, "Storytellers", in the middle of the night never started. Error seems to have been at the start of "Daily Show", which did create a 0 byte file.

I could tell the recording service is locked/crashed this morning when I double click the tray icon, and it does not open the tuner status. Restart the PC, then The Daily Show and Storytellers both show as failed with "recording service not available" error. EPG update did happen at 3am.

I don't see errors in the log. Is this a new USB cablecard tuner error?

Thanks

I would love to see the same comskip functionality that currently exists in SageTV. Well actually in JREkiwi's Comskip Playback plugin for sagetv since sage has no native support for comskip.

When you press the right arrow key (adjacent to OK) the timeline appears and you are taken to the end of the next commercial segment and the recording continues playing from there. The left arrow takes you to the previous commercial skip point. This divides the show into chapters that are easily accessible. Also, if comskip thinks that a section in the middle of a commercial segment is part of the show, this is the easiest way to jump to the end of the commercial break. It took me month's to teach my wife and daughter to use this in sagetv, there's going to be a bunch of griping if I tell them that it doesn't work this way any more.:eek:
