I know nothing about mobile phones. All I want to do is make/receive calls and send the odd text. Thats all I do and all I want it to do.
The last phone I had (alcatel AME408 22 quid 2 years ago from ASDA) did everything I needed it to. It also had one great feature (far better than all the rubbish that came on the expensive phones I've had in the past) in that it was charged via a mini USB port. Which meant I could use a generic USB cable to charge it. I use such cables at home, at work, in my car and also in the aeroplane so it was quite handy.
Anyway Its broken and I've been miss sold a replacement that I was told used a mini usb port to charge when it doesn't it uses a micro USB port to charge.
Could anybody recommend a hand phone thats dead basic and uses a mini usb to charge it? and I would rather buy brand new instead of 2nd hand of ebay
I was wondering if it would be possible to add another element to the horizontal menu xml. Currently there are 3 elements that I am aware of that I can use, ButtonBackground, MenuButton and VideoInset. I had cheated and used the ButtonBackground to display the N logo on the main page but this causes problems with the mouse right clicking. Would it be possilbe to add either the TaskImage or Cutaway elements (or something else) like in the vertical menu xml. Thanks.
I am new to npvr, but am familiar with SageTV. I had a WHS v1 install and win7 workstations for SageTV.
My server primary drive decided to die so since I was going to have to rebuild anyways I figure this is the perfect chance to upgrade hardware etc and switch to npvr.
So I have been working on this for a few days now and I have noticed a few things.. and need some help getting some things running.
1st thing: NPVR is very slow to load or do anything with compared to SageTV, the primary server is a e2200 and has 8 TB of storage, running windows home server 2011. I did notice running the latest patchs for npvr is that npvr spikes to 50% cpu when IE is open and IE also spikes to 50% cpu causing a lockup condition. I am thinking this is because I am using the onboard video card that does not fully support dx9. one of my win7 workstations has a newer ati radeon hd 42xx series and it does not seem to behave this way. (that I have noticed yet).
2nd: My cable provider is Shaw and I have STB's down at the server, previously I used Exemultituner and HIP to control the boxes, I noticed in the device config I can send command to an external source, but what is actually being passed by npvr? exemultituner did a pause, channel, device since I have 2 Win-TV-PVR150's using composite.
3rd: for some reason I have yet to get the ehome infrared usb-uirt device working with NPVR, this may also be a windows home server 2011 issues, not sure yet. :confused:
4th: would be nice to have a channel preview in the device config area so you can make sure channels are being seen, most of the time the channel is coming back as garbled when I am viewing or it is choppy, or missing blockes almost like a rendering issues, does this on the server and on the workstation. my lan is running 1GB Full Duplex, so network speed is not an issue.
I have installed the codec pack from saf, but again because this is all win64 stuff not sure if something else is causing the issues.
I think my wife is starting to get annoyed :mad: with me playing with this setup and just wants to watch TV again.. so I need some help
Is it best to install as admin, then apply most recent cumulative patch? Or start and setup program then patch.. Have previously uninstalled 2.03 already and was getting no communication recorder error although channels scanned. Thanks
I have seen this phenomena several times. It happens at the time between one recording finishing and the next recording starting when the system is set to sleep after a period of inactivity.
In the most recent example:
Recording A was scheduled to finish at 23:15 (23-08-2011)
There was 3 minutes of padding on the recording, taking the time up to 23:18
Windows 7 is set to sleep after 5 Minutes, so does so at 23:23
Recording B was scheduled to start at 23:25
Normally the system will come out of sleep 4 minutes before next recording (Includes 2 mins of pre padding), which would be 23:21, but at this time power is already on from the previous recording and in the process of shutting down.
The system shuts down at 23:23 and misses the next recording.
If I lengthen the sleep period to 10 mins, it would affect a recording starting 15 mins later. As recordings are usually scheduled in 5 minute increments I could set the system time out to 8 minutes, which might work, as long as I use the same padding!
I have attached the logs, not that they show much.
Does anyone know how to change some of the functionality of the buttons on an RC6 MCE Style remote control (came with the PVR-2250). The power button launches wintv7 and the windows button launches MCE. I have the same remote on a second box that came with the Pinanncle PCTV remote control kit and the power button there maps to "wake up/sleep" power feature of windows. I know the one from the PVR-2250 is going through the Hauppauge IR software, but what is the PCTV remote using (no special software installed) that it's doing something different? Where can I configure the PVR-2250 remote to behave the same way? I think it's in IRRemote.ini but I don't know the syntax.
Hi sub, thought I'd try the latest version of NPVR and see if it could tempt me away from the old GB-PVR that I'm still using, and there are still a few things that are just about holding me back.
1. When I'm sitting at the PC I still prefer to use the mouse right-click to come out of whatever I'm doing and go back a level. If I untick the 'Context Menu on right mouse button' option then I cannot get back into the settings menu without modifying the config.xml file (when I can remember where it lives these days! ). I know I brought this up once before and was told that clicking on the 'n' icon in the top-left corner of the nPVR window I'd see the 'Settings' option or I could right-click on the nPVR icon in the taskbar and get to the Settings window. sadly neither of these has ever worked for me. If I click on the icon top-left of the window I just get the standard windows options (Restore, Move, Size, Minimize, Maximize, and Close) and if I right-click on the nPVR tray icon I get a pop-up menu with "Show Status, Start N-PVR, Restart Recording Service, and Exit" as options, and if I double left-click on the tray icon then I get the device status window.
Please either give an option to have "Settings" as menu option or stick it in the toolbar at the top of most screens or even just a keyboard short-cut would be appreciated.
2. In GB-PVR when watching a video you used to be able to click on the progress bar at the top of the screen (which appeared when you moved the mouse over the GB-PVR window) and jump to wherever you clicked on the bar. (i.e. click halfway along the bar and you'd jump to around halfway through the video.) I know N-PVR asks if you want to resume watching from where you left off, but that just doesn't work if someone else has come along and watched the same recording since you stopped watching it, and skipping through a 2 hour+ film using either the keyboard or remote is just painfully slow.
3. I use GB-PVR/N-PVR on a second screen and in order to give N-PVR the focus you often have to click somewhere on the screen. If the screen is the Main screen (TV Guide, Recordings, Live TV etc. at the bottom) then it doesn't matter where you click on the screen, it always activates whichever menu option is directly above or below where you clicked. It's not a big thing but it has gotten annoying as I always seem to click somewhere in line with the 'Exit' option . . .
One final query, in Gb-PVR I'm happily running with the 'Video Renderer' set as 'VMR9 Custom', and all the other 'Mpeg2 Playback' and 'Advanced Codec' options set to ffdshow video or audio decoders and the 'Audio Renderer' set to 'System Default' and it all works brilliantly. However, in N-PVR it doesn't matter which Video Renderer I use, I cannot get ffdshow to work as the MPeg2 Video decoder and play an MPeg2 .mpg or .ts file, I just get a black screen with audio which IS working through ffdshow. It works fine when playing back XVid files, flv files, mkv, and m2ts files. Strangely it works with vob files from a DVD which I thought were Mpeg2 but not with MPeg2 .mpg or .ts files. Again not a biggie as it works if I use one of the other decoders available (I usually use the 'Cyberlink Video Decoder (PDVD9)' one), just wondering why the difference?
I'm running an Intel C2Q with 32-bit Windows XP Home SP3, 4Gb RAM, plenty of disk space over 3 hard drives, nVidia GTS450 graphics card and the current reference drivers from nVidia, and Norton Internet Security 2011, N-PVR 2.1.5 and the latest cumulative patches from the sticky.
N-PVR seems to have impoved dramatically since v2.0.3 and I'm almost ready to switch, but the not being able to jump to any position in the video by clicking on the prograss bar is the real deal breaker as I'm sure I'd probably get used to the other niggles.
Anyway, keep up the good work and hope you're finding enough time to spend some quality time with the family as well as keeping all us grumpy old(ish) gits happy!
attached is my filter log - would like npvr to recognise both the analog and digital tuner in my hvr 1300. PC is running Vista - dont groan!!
how do I do this?
I have had two long standing client /server problems but have not reported it because both my XP server and client were very old hardware and the server has minor hardware problem. However I now have a new Vista server which avoids the DVBfix problems with XP and also a newer XP client.
Currently the main problem I have with NPVR is pressing âEscâ (Clear) on the remote to end playback on the client sometimes causes NPVR.exe to run at max. At first it seems to do nothing as the recording continues playing for about 20 seconds then locks up. I donât yet know at what point the processor starts to run at max but the remote stops working after the initial press. This happened several times in the last few days but with the old setup happened less often. The client sees that Esc was pressed and saves position but does not quit. I have had the same happen once when âPauseâ was pressed but never when skipping forward or back. The server seems to stop sending data when âEscâ is pressed on the client. Then when NPVR is killed on the client the server reports an âUnexpected exception in ClientConnectionHandlerâ.
Enclosed are server and client logs which dont seem to offer any clues. The event happened at 22:47:31 which is at the end of both logs.
