It would be very helpful if the channel scan screen could display the virtual channel # when available in the stream. It's always available for OTA ATSC, and I believe is often available for QAM channels.
I just found a new channel in a channel scan, but I can't figure out what it is - it doesn't show up on my regular TV grouped with the other channels on that frequency, so clearly it uses a different virtual channel number. Schedules Direct only identifies channels by virtual channel number, so I have no way to know what line of EPG data this new channel goes with. In fact even for channels where I do know what they are, it's sometimes hard to remember which channel call sign identified by NPVR goes with which Schedules Direct channel.
I'm sure it'll turn out that this particular channel is another garbage channel I don't want, but finding it highlighted a minor shortcoming in the current channel scanning process.
I recorded the series of Camelot for "She who must be Obeyed" (Nice British Kung Fu Series ) All have been fine until last nights final episode when at the last ad break they switched to stereo sound and then didn't switch back to 5.1 for the final part of the program - thus loosing all the dialog.
Anybody else notice this or is it all my fault again
my son and I have had a half day spent in trying to set up NPVR for an internal PCI card from Hauppauge for analog capture via S-Video input. We have installed all the prerequisites including WinTV mux files according to walkthrough, and we are working on a Win 7 Home Premium 64bi system. NPVR installed under x86 path, manually added analog capture driver according to filtercheck output, added svideo channel to analog driver after it has shown up in devices list correcly.
Result: Black screen in LiveTV ;-(
In other software like TVcentral, S-Video input is shown correctly (however, recording does not work there, it's a phased-out program)...
Any hints? Or is the HVR11xx simply not supported - yet?
My local Fox affilliate broadcasts their HD signal on physical channel 11. They also own another station and broadcast tower on channel 13. The two have different footprints, so they broadcast an SD version of Fox on channel 13.4 as well to cover as many homes as possible, but many people including me get both versions just fine.
I wanted to take advantage of this fact using Multi-Record (because I often record shows on both Fox and the 'regular' channel 13), so I merged the two Fox channels together.
However, it appears to have simply deleted the HD version of the channel altogether; only the SD 13.4 version now exists in the channel list for either tuner.
I realize this was not the planned use of the Merge function, so clearly I confused it by trying to do this (at least it didn't just blow up!).
This sort of manipulation was possible in GB-PVR by creating multiple instances of the same tuner device, and then carefully defining the channels available in each instance.
Could you fix/improve the Merge logic so that it's possible to merge two versions of the same channel on the same tuner without losing one of them?
This would be an even bigger help to QAM users who almost always have SD and HD versions of each channel on different frequencies.
Is anyone looking at fixing the wiki as it has been semi-broken ever since that hacking attempt the other day (I assume sub did some update that broke something else) & for me it displays really weird. It does give me this warning message at the top ...
"Warning: filemtime() [function.filemtime]: stat failed for wiki.d/totalcounter.stat.l in /var/www/gbpvr.com/nwiki/cookbook/totalcounter.php on line 1190"
I feel it is a bit of a let down at the moment now that we have a really nice main web page to have it displaying like it is currently can't give a good second impression to new users.
I have been getting ready for my new Cablecard tuner. To hedge my bets, I updated to W7 32bit from Vista 64 bit. The installation went smooth as silk and I was up and running minutes after 7 installed. I had kept my old npvr folder with the settings and just did a new npvr install and dropped the old folder on top of it and I got all of my settings, epg, scripts, etc back. I had to install AC3, but that was the only filter I had to get. The rest was just stock windows decoder stuff.
Then I decided to look at 7's media center since I am afraid that I might need it for some broadcast flag trouble. I have not looked at it in years. The setup seemed easy enough. Added my epg, it found my tuners correctly and then the wheels fell off. It scans for clear QAM channels, finds them, then for some dumb reason they dissappear. Obviously it is dumping them for some reason, but who knows why. Then I tried adding them manually, and MCE say there is no signal on the channel. No way to trouble shoot, just tough, it is not there. Obviously it is since I get flawless tv off my clear QAM channels in NPVR. I hope the new cablecard tuner fares better....
Thanks sub for making it so easy. sometimes I take your awsome program for granted. MCE is like walking down a dark alley with handcuffs on. :eek: I reallllllllly hope my main cable channels are not flagged copy once. If it is too bad, then I might have to head to an HD-PVR.
I'm getting a reproduceable crash while scrolling through dvd folders. If scroll left fast I seem to hit an unhandled exception when the scrolling hits the end of its travel, so to speak.
Can't find any recent patches related to this issue so logs and crash dialog box attached if anyones curious.
Are there any NPVR or GBPVR users with r5000 devices or firewire tuning on their cable STB who want to help test a tuner plugin I am working on right now? Using the tuner plugin support sub added for 2.1.4/5 I am basically now able to control tuning devices that support the SageTV Universal Network Encoder protocol . I am testing it with firewire from my STB and it is working pretty well with the Sage Graph Recorder http://www.nolberger.se/Sage/GraphRecorder/ working much like the older GBPVR Graph Recorder plugin.
