1) It appears that it is not possible to have multiple popups open. If a popup launches another popup, the first one closes. I have to have the screen respond to a callback when the second popup closes to re-open the first popup which looks kind of odd. Any way around this?

2) If I activate a second screen from the main screen in my plugin (both defined in the plugin) the main screen seems to not be added to the navigation history. That is, if I hit escape to go back one screen it jumps back to the main screen/menu?

I was wondering if it would be possible to add the ability to display the @channelIcon in FindAll.xml. Also I was looking to use visible="!@hasImage" or something like that that would be true is no image exists.

Thanks.

A way to disable the hardcoded response to MCE remote button presses would be nice. Then, we could easily re-program the commands in external software as has been discussed in a few other threads.

Hi,

I've searched the forums and can't find a solution to this.

Two nights ago, I played a DVD ISO file on NPVR and it worked excellently. It mounted the image, launched the DVD and I could navigate using my Hauppauge remote.

Last night, I went to mount the same ISO, and Cyberlink PowerDVD is now trying to play the disk. As a result, lots of "Register your software" boxes and things come up, and the remote doesn't work, and NPVR is sitting with a blank screen (presumably because Cyberlink stole the focus and DVD drive from it).

I didn't change anything on the computer between the two sessions (it wasn't even turned off). I can't work out how to kill off Cyberlink from autorunning, and how to get NPVR's DVD playback working again.

Does NPVR just load WMP as the DVD player?

Any advice?

Thanks

I can usually skip through ads with about 3 "big" skips and three "little" ones. (big and little being the replay/skip and rev/fwd buttons on the remote). I'm finding that playback very often does not start again after doing this - maybe 3 times out of 5. I get to the end of the skipping, playback pauses or locks up and to get it going again I have to skip back and forward once or twice. Occasionally I give up and start playing again from the beginning.

Its been like this through all NPVR versions I've used - I installed it when it went 'public'. gbpvr was always perfect. But, I admit that may not be a fair comparison because I upgraded hardware, OS and to npvr all at the same time. Would be nice to fix this though.

Cheers

I thought I had seen this mentioned a few months ago, but I can't find the post. Most of the time programs I have scheduled to record are not highlighted red in the guide. There is a red bar along the top to indicate when recording is scheduled, but that doesn't say what program is being recorded. I've observed this since I set up this new computer and npvr, through many reboots and a couple of upgrades.

Hi all,

I have been using SageTV for years on and off. I recently moved into a new house and had grand ideas of having the whole place SageTV wired (or wireless as it were).

Anyhew - due to the Google buyout, this is no longer an option.

I looked at GBPVR ages ago, but back then it wasn't quite so polished. Downloaded the other day, and I have to say that I am very impressed with what is going on here now.

So newbie questions (sorry for being lazy):
1. Can I receive HD content using my PCTV 290e DVB-T2? (if not, is this on the cards?)
2. What are the extender options? (dream would be AppleTV 2, I have a couple of MVP's but they are slooooow and non HD)
3. Is there any kind of client for osx (use my mac mini at present)
4. Are channel logos an option?

I genuinely hope that this all fits the bill, as so far I am liking nPVR, a lot.

So, I got my channels scanning problem fixed (thanks Sub!) and figured out the network shares with some help from Martin.

I'm using several WDHDTV boxes (wireless) on the other TVs for remote viewing and the WDHDTV works well with wireless, but it is picky about file types. I'm not sure if it's the file types, or the wireless speed, but I've found that it handles MP4 without complaint. Anyhow, my solution is to convert the .TS to MP4 with ffmpeg and then copy the new file to the network share which is visible to all the WDHDTV boxes. I'm using a ffmpeg routine:

ffmpeg -y -i "%~f1" -f mp4 -vcodec libx264 -deinterlace -s 704x384 -acodec copy -ar 22050 -qmax 8 "%~dpn1.mp4"

These files get played on just some small, run of the mill, TVs which are 704x384 so I've down converted and reduced the audio a bit to make the file smaller. Nothing really fancy, but it seems to work.

The problem is the MP4 files occasionally tile. The .TS files play fine in NPVR and it's not every converted file, just some. This happens even when played back on the same machine as NPVR is installed so it's not network/wireless related. while testing the conversion in a local DOS window, I've noticed I'm getting a number of errors from ffmpeg.

I've attached a copy of about 1000 lines of the DOS window while running ffmpeg. The errors are mostly these types:

[mpeg2video @ 020DBA20] invalid cbp at 0 35
[mpeg2video @ 020DBA20] mb incr damaged
[mpeg2video @ 020DBA20] ac-tex damaged at 0 42
[mpeg2video @ 020DBA20] slice mismatch
[mpeg2video @ 020DBA20] concealing 7560 DC, 7560 AC, 7560 MV errors
[mpeg2video @ 020DBA20] 00 motion_type at 20 9
[mpeg2video @ 020DBA20] invalid mb type in B Frame at 4 28

I've checked the signal quality with the HDHR utility and the signal looks good (at least to me)

The average for my channels are:
Signal Strength - 87% to 94%
Signal Quality - 100%
Symbol Quality - 100%

I know about nothing about file conversion, so I'm not sure if this is normal, or if there's something I can do to fix the tiling? It's not bad, at most 2-3 times in a 1 hour show and then only for a second or two. It's just enough to irritate the better half, especially when she watching her show and misses that important word or 2 in the dialog. And we all know, if she ain't happy, nobodies happy!

I receive my TV over the air yet there are times that I'll stream live tv for "special" occasions.
Can NPVR incorporate URLs in to the guide or menu?

Hi,


I'm trying to make my generic MCE remote's 'info' button work w/ npvr:

http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Microsoft...20&sr=1-19


It works w/ WMC 7 and displays the OSD properly.

With npvr, when pressing the 'info' button on the remote npvr.log shows the following and the npvr pull-down menu appears instead of the OSD:

I wonder if there's a way to remap that 'info' button on my generic MCE remote correctly in KeyMappings.xml.


Would appreciate if anyone has this same remote and/or knows the way to map it right... .


'One-button cancel recording'

Another question is I wonder if there's a way to do a one-button 'Cancel-recording on current channel' from the remote. Would be a handy feature so I don't have to go into the recording menu and select 'cancel'... .


Thx... .
