I have setup recurring recordings with the standard NPVR Manual Recordings screen using the "All Channels" option.

If I export the recordings and then try to import the recurring recording file it fails with the following log.

Does import recurring recordings work for "All Channels" ?

Hello GBPVR fans, and sub in particular -- ehm sorry, NextPVR fans,

I'm back on this forum after years. I've been using GBPVR from it's very start. I remember getting an early version (simple executable) from sub because of a question of mine on some forum. I was using a Hauppauge 350 card, and was looking for a way to use its tv-out optimally. sub was able to deliver that. And the same hardware setup is running until today. The last gbpvr version that supported the 350's tv-out is driving it to good satisfaction.

Now I'm looking into a new setup as our cable provider has reduced the number of analog channels too much. But, and that is my question, is nextpvr able to provide a stable pvr with the encoded digital tv from dutch ziggo? Any Dutch users with concrete experiences?
I found on this forum some struggles from 2009, a link to this post from 2009. But sub has also created some new features recently, I found

So what is the current state of affairs?

With kind regards,
Maarten

I was halfway through editing an advanced rule and saved the manual recording. I can no longer access Recurring Recordings. It produces an unhandled exception.

title like '%octonauts%' AND time(

I think everyone is going to be tired of hearing from me by the end of the weekend!

I've got my HVR-1600 and HVR-1255 installed in one box. I'm able to use both cards and did a test where I was watching analog tv from the hvr-1600. I then started two recordings from the web portal using the ATSC inputs on the 1600 and 1250. It worked just fine.

So I went to setup my recordings for Monday night. I setup the two ATSC recordings and it accepted them. Then went to setup a recording that uses the analog and it complained that there where no tuners available. Why? Am I missing something?

Just a note on setup. In the devices section I have disabled the analog port on the 1250 and also disabled the QAM ports on both cards.

Thanks for any help you can give.

The main thing holding me back from upgrading to NPVR is the removal of the option to use the skip keys as page up/page down in the various lists.

Any chance of getting that option back? I assume it was removed because the skip keys are used for something else in NPVR so maybe a "swap skip keys with channel keys in menus" option would be possible.

Thanks

I re-encode the recordings using handbrake. Before 2.2.6, if the aspect ratio initially did not work for a recordings, I just had to toggle the full screen button on the remote (or alt+Enter on the keyboard) twice, and the correct aspect ratio was chosen. Now, for 4:3 ratio files, I have to choose pillarbox, the auto setting does not work any more. Usually the files have a resolution of about 528x400. (the height is fixed to 400, handbrake autocrops them).

Is there any quick fix for this? Thanks!

What is being used instead of MDAPI with nPVR as it doesn't work without stutters for myself with either a HVR4000 or a HVR4400 Satellite Sky TV yet I still get 100% perfect MDAPI/Acamd with GBPVR? Acamd shows no errors and .250ms card reading.

Also the .TS player is still rubbish compared to the GBPVR one, I can pause and play with skip etc flawless with GBPVR yet nPVR is rubbish and requires skip-backs to restart playback and sometimes even a stop and resume. I had 3 crashes with nPVR even trying to pay a recorded 60 min .TS freeview file! Nothing in logs either.

specs are Vista SP2 , ATI 5770, coe2Duo@2800, 3 gig ram

still can't move from GBPVR sorry

I don't want to sound negative as GBPVR was and still is perfect for myself but I wait with every release of nPVR hoping for fixes yet I see no improvement since day one for these 2 problems.

For several months I have had an occasional problem on my NPVR client when I play a recording there is no sound or video. Usually if I quit and immediately select “Play” or “Resume” then the recording plays ok. However recently possibly since I upgraded the hardware and changed to Vista the problem is getting worse. I am using EVR with Cyberlink decoders and only have MPEG1 audio and MPEG2 Video enabled. Can anyone see any clues in the enclosed log? The first attempt at playback was at 09:06:23 but the screen remained blank and no sound until I quit at 09:06:56. Second attempt at 09:07:06 was the same quitting at 09:07:23

I tried changing the decoders to ffdshow from CCCP but get sound but no video. I have now tried using “MPC-MPEG2 video decoder” and “MPEG audio decoder” and they seem to work more often than the Cyberlink, about 2/3 of the time.

I can no get a picture to show on any channels at all, all i get is a black screen with sound also if i minimize it then maximize it shows the menu still with a black square in the middle ?

It was reported by RedDwarf that mouse navigation using the timeline wasn't working for BRVE+ & as trying to do mouse skipping using the timeline doesn't work at all for me even using the Default skin it is really hard for me to test this out......

This is what I currently have in the Video.xml skin in the Players directory
