When I switch from the HTPC to the TV to watch TV using my Harmony remote, it sends a command (probably ctrl-S) that toggles the Sort function on the recordings screen before switching the TV input from the HDMI to the internal TV tuner. Perhaps trying to be helpful by stopping a playing video before switching inputs which is not a bad idea, but conflicts with the Sort key when playback is stopped and you're already at the recordings screen.
Anyone know how to change this? The Logitech configuration program for the Harmony remote seems worse now than it was 18 mos ago when I first configured the tuner, and, in fact, seems to have forgotten me, so I had to setup the remote from scratch. I can't see a way to get into the actual commands sent from the activity buttons.
BTW, this is configuring the Harmony for an MCE remote model 1039. I'm using the MCE remote receiver and the associated ehome interface.
Im getting black screen and no sound in NPVR when trying to view live TV with the HDPVR. Im on Windows 7 pro 64 bit, the HDPVR is working in TME.
So whenever I click live tv in NPVR the NPVR screen goes black and I get no audio, additionally the hdpvr passthrough to my tv stops working. If i open TME and try to access the HDPVR by recording a video (while NPVR is still open and on live tv), TME tells me the device is in use but the hdpvr tv passthrough starts working again and both audio and video start working in NPVR until I close live tv in NPVR.
In the log this line:
2011-09-14 06:11:22.662 [DEBUG][1] audio renderer now AC3
Is where I open up TME and NPVR starts working, I dont know what the line means just that that is the line that shows up when I open TME and the picture and sound start working in NPVR. I'm not really sure what to do to get this working smoothly, google search for that log line doesnt get me anywhere.
After installing the updates, my EPG no longer lets me use both tuners on my HVR1600 at the same time even though they are used discretely. If I record a QAM channel it won't let me record a STB channel, and the opposite is true as well.
Any ideas? I just get "no tuner available".
Strangely, I can watch the other tuner live, but not record it or program it to record.
Sub, is there are any way to remove the requirement to have a tuner plugin loaded on each client? I think some messages from the recording service go back to the client giving an object not set message
I received this via PM tonight which I think is client tuner plugin related
Code:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an
object.

hi, just wonder if there is the hardware compatibility list for NPVR. I want that and see what hardware I may choose to buy to work with NPVR. could anyone help?
i'm setting up a new E350 mb with a colossus, and everything's going fine till i see when i pause, the video blanks, then comes on, then blanks again, over and over...it's not always the same length of black screen...
the audio keeps playing without a skip during all this too..
all i see in logs are weird Hiding OSD/Using Fake OSD
only happens on livetv, recordings are fine..
i have latest ver plus patches..
using evr with any codec [ms,cyberlink,arcsoft] same results..
win7 sp1
[i only paused livetv at the end,was checking a recording before that]
[EDIT]
N/Mind, it was silly me checking "use alternate OSD with missing video"
How can I change, turn on or turn off the 'Next Recording' display at the bottom of my main menu? I just realized it's never been correct. No matter what/when the next recording is, it always displays the next recording show as the same one, Monday nights at 9pm. I have 6 shows to be recorded before then and only the same one is displayed.
I hit the bulk map option, and while I can change it to xmltv, I could not tell it what channel/station. The only other option I had was change the number on the left.
It is very, very slow doing it the other way, and very, very slow once you select update EPG.
I know it has to read the huge xml file, but isn't this cached at all ? It takes 60 secs per channel to update the EPG, no matter what the CPU speed is, or the amount of RAM in the system.
It also takes around 30 secs or so to manually change the channel to xml, then pick what it maps to.
With lots of channels, this really eats up the time.
The first EPG load on a PC client is quite slow (2 weeks 40 channels), I was wondering if there is a quicker way of doing it? Perhaps the client could use a local EPG lisitings either a local to the client xml grab or a batch file that runs on boot up to copy over the EPG to the client machine?
Or maybe an option to only pull down the first x days of EPG on a client?
recently i'm testing to set schedule recording with using your command line schedule.exe, and make recordings on 3 devices at the same time. But somehow the Nrecord.exe couldn't stop the recording properly. e.g. the program show time is from 12:00am - 5:00pm, Nrecord.exe was still making recordings after 5:00pm. And when trying to stop NPVR service, Nrecord.exe kept running even you tried to kill task using "taskkill" command. When it happens, I have to restart the PC to remove that Nrecord.exe, otherwise the NPVR won't work.
attached the log files for your reference, thanks.
