Hi, I seem to be having all sorts of problems getting the web admin to work since moving to NPVR....
1) If I change the username or password in the npvr settings page, it only seems to 'stick' if I reboot the whole PC. Can I some how just restart the web service to get it to accept any changes?
2) I can't log in from an external PC - I can get the login page so I know all the port forwarding is working correctly, but it insists that the password or user name is wrong every time. If I access the webadmin from a LAN PC I obviously bypass the login page , but if I click on the config page which does require a login I can use exactly the same saved user name and password that is being refused from the external PC
3) The config tab keeps disappearing. Sometimes it's there. Then it's not. Even backing up to a page where it was isn't a guarantee that it's still there !?!?
Have reinstalled latest version from wiki, plus one more recent patch to login2.aspx from one of the forum threads.
I just came back from a long 2 year hiatus from GBPVR to find this. I like how the new Next pvr looks but I see a lot of things missing from it. Are there plans to bring back auto conversion to DIVX and Comskip? I know there are addons. But I was wondering if plans are to integrate them into NPVR to access them from the settings menu like in GBPVR?
nice to see that already tapping NextPVR into google lists the new NextPVR website as number 3 (number 1 & 2 still refer to the wiki)
I would hope within a few more weeks a google search will drive the new website to the top.
cheers everyone that helped to get this working! (and obviously top cheers to sub, who wrote the BEST PVR software there is and entrusted us with the website)

This post should probably be in a new thread, so I moved it.
Is the HVR-4400 still the preferred option? What other options are there? If I go down this route, I'm gonna need a solution where I can watch encrypted channels. I still need to figure out, though, if my card is paired with my box or not. Not sure how to find that out.
However, *if* I would go with this, what would I need? A HVR-4400, and a CI module? Is that it? I can't figure out how they are connected.
The other option I can think of is to go with the multidec solution. I still have, I think, and old phoenix smart card reader that I was playing with for trrying to decrypt dvb-t channels back in the days, but didn't quite have the patience to figure everything out. Would that work, you think?
I have two pci slots free, and at least one pci-e slot. Maybe one more, depending on how much place the card takes...
When resume is pressed, audio from the start of the file is heard [video is blanked ok]. This does not happen with other players that I have tried. Should be muted until resume point reached and ready to play.
I picked up a cheap Nova-T Stick secondhand that I'm trying to get going but while it gives good strength & quality figures & scans fine I can't get it to deliver any data when trying to record, that is it looks like it's recording & the directory is created but there is no recording file in it.
I have selected it as the type 5 version
Code:
[Hauppauge Nova-T-Stick type5]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
FILTER_TUNER="WinTV Nova-T Stick DVB-T Tuner (Dev1 Path0) "
FILTER_CAPTURE="WinTV Nova-T Stick DVB-T Capture (Dev1 Path0)"
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
as to me it appears to have a space at the end of the filter name but not at the end of the capture name (filtercheck log attached), the only other thing I can think of is could it share the same driver as the HVR-3000's in which case it will need to be something different than device1??
Can someone tell me or point me to information that explains how to share a folder/directory so that the NPVR recording service running as a system service can write to the folder? Or, is it as simple as just sharing a folder with "everyone"? Or, does it need to be mapped as a drive on the remote machine? Help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Just wondering if anybody had any hints for retrieving lists of files and folders within directories.
I know about DirectoryInfo and GetFileSystemInfos() and FileSystemInfo and so on, but the performance with them - particularly over a network - seems pretty dire, apparently due to them making too many network requests for each file returned, rather than storing the information that the underlying win32 calls they make has already received. It's something that's supposed to be much better with .NET4, but I guess we have to stay with .NET 2 for now? (and I'm not too sure how it works if you have a .NET2 compiled program but .NET4 is actually installed; can it use the latter or will it insist on running it with .NET2 anyway).
It's possible part of the problem is that I'm trying to be too smart when browsing a folder, as my plugin also goes looking into the subdirectories of the list returned (eg to determine if they might contain DVD rips). This means it's actually doing more than just a single GetFileSystemInfos() call, but I kind of need to know this information before building a UiList of possible videos to play. That way DVD folders and folders with just a single video in them can be presented at the same level as other video files found within a given directory.
Is a refurb A110 still my best bet for an extender?
I'd be partial to something else that could either support xbmc directly, or take a plex feed, or some other media jukebox. I'm not adverse to writing something to extract from the npvr database the recordings and putting them in some display format. But first choice would be native nextpvr, then xbmc, then something utilising yamj etc.
I'm quite keen on an ACRyan playon...btw this is for a bedroom, so fanless is a priority, and no internal storage needed.
