Hey scb, any chance you could change the yellow and blue icons to alt-Y and alt-B from ctrl-Y and ctrl-B to match the default setup of NPVR?

Any chance you could consider changing a couple of NPVR keyboard commands?

In the recordings menu, ctrl-S toggles the sort order, but ctrl-S is also Stop in the various players. My Harmony remote sends a Stop when powering off or switching activities which messes up the sort order in recording which, unfortunately, is where I normally leave off. I can't see where I can change this in the Harmony software. S certainly makes sense for Sort, maybe you could use O for order.

Could we perhaps go back to crtl-B and ctrl-Y for the Blue and Yellow keys? The weather plug in wants ctrl-B and ctrl-Y and the developer hasn't responded to requests to change it. What was the reason for changing from ctrl to alt for the color buttons?

Thanks.

I've just tried to get this page reasonably back up to date with all the new options that have slipped in over the past few months.

There's still lots of entries with no description (either because I don't know what they do, or I don't know *for sure* what they do), so please help fill in the gaps if you can...

My other half is not quite as computer sympathetic as me, every morning she listens to web radio on our NPVR client when she's ready to go to work she just hits the power button on the client which puts it to sleep.
The problem is when it wakes up it plays music for about 3 seconds from where it left off in the morning either from the buffer of from what's left of the file in Temp then quite understandably craps itself.
What do other people do to either get a the box in a "tidy state" before sleep, or tidy up when woken, I guess one option is to use the wakeup.bat to kill NPVR then restart it?

I am hoping someone can tell if there is a way to have the recording file names include the season and episode numbers. Currently, all my recordings are stored as "The Office\The Office_20110512_20302100.mp4". In the end, I would like to have this file named "The Office\The Office S07.E10.China.mp4".

It seems like GuidePlus can do what I am looking for (plus some others) but only if I use xml info from schedules direct (which I don't, I download directly from schedules direct).

FYI - I am still using NPVR 2.0.3

Thank you in advance

NPVR 2.2.6 on Windows XP
I have just installed PowerDVD 11, and went to try it as the H264 video decoder in NPVR, but it doesn't appear in the drop-down menu for H264 decoders. PDVD10 is still there (as expected as it is still installed), listed as "CyberLink Video Decoder (PDVD10)".
If I understood how these decoders get onto that list, it might help me understand why PDVD11 isn't there, and how to get it in there.

So Verizon finally came out and installed FIOS today. They replaced the comcast motorola boxes with Cisco boxes. The box they put in for my NPVR server is a Cisco 335HDC. I went to configure the ir blaster on my HVR-1600 and I don't see Cisco as an option. None of the settings seem to let me control the cisco STB from my HVR-1600 ir blaster.

I tried the learning option but no matter what I do it always says "Learnkey(1): Operation Failed"

Does anyone know the best way to get this configured?

Lately I decided to reinstall Windows XP. As always, I backed up the old one into an image file in case any trouble. And trouble came.

My card is Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2200, driver is 7.9.1.28336 (latest from the website).

Tuner softwares (I tried NPVR and WinTV 7) won't find all the programs the previous system had.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]31692[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]31693[/ATTACH]
Scan result with the old system - good

[ATTACH=CONFIG]31694[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]31695[/ATTACH]
Scan result with the new system - BAD

Some of the channels found are located on different channels. You can observe that in the first case cable channel 11 has the same freq (119250000) as channel 38 in the second. It's like the tuner scans another channel set - odd!

I tried even a fresh install of Windows 7, same result: not working properly. When I restore the old system from the backup image, everything works fine again.

So now I'm clueless. Any ideas would be welcomed.

Has anyone found a way to “Shutdown” Vista with a MCE remote? Under XP it was possible to shutdown my NPVR client in my bedroom using my MCE remote which meant not having to get out of bed on a cold winter night! However I have recently started using Vista instead as it cured some of my problems, but can no longer use the remote to shut down. XP gave you the option to “Shutdown”, Hibernate” or “Sleep” but under Vista the “Shutdown” option is missing. Hibernate would be an acceptable alternative but at wake up NPVR client dosnt work correctly. The EPG is correctly displayed but “Live TV” does not work and “Recordings” are empty so NPVR has to be restarted.

Suggestions:

It would be nice if you delete a file that it is simply sent to the recycle bin and not permanently deleted, just in case it was in error...

Secondly before deleting a folder, that a confirmation be required, or at least it check that the folder is actually empty.

I have lost some recordings because I renamed them (prior to getting the renaming script to work) and the database did not recognize they were in the show folder. Then I deleted an episode that the database thought was the only one, and the entire folder was deleted, including all other files in that folder. Then sadly I discovered they were not in my recycle bin...lost forever:eek:

So, won't be deleting via the app anymore, just in case.

Thanks for the application. I think I have most of what I want setup and am rolling forward as the fall season starts!
