We have recently got DVB-T over this side of the hill & I just got had a phone call asking me if NextPVR should be able to record DVB-T & DVB-S at the same time on a system that has a HVR-4000 & a HVR-3000 in it, my answer was it should. So my question is does NextPVR correctly know that the 4000/3000's can only record one style at the same time?? If so I will make sure I get some logs to post soon'ish as currently it just crashes when the DVB-T recording\live TV starts while it is recording DVB-S.
I finally took the plunge & upgraded to NPVR. GBPVR was working fine but with a new "smart" flat panel, my MVP was no longer needed, so why not. The transitions went relatively smoothly except for one issue. Whenever a new recording starts while I'm watching another video I get a Windows popup that says "Found IR Controller (e2)." Video playback and recording aren't affected but my Hauppauge 45 button remote loses control of the NPVR window & I have to restart NVPVR to get it back. Why would the recording service cause this?
There is only once instance of AutoStart IR in the startup folder (C:\Program Files\WinTV\Ir.exe" /QUIET) and once instance of ir.exe running. Other that this one annoyance, I'm liking the NVPVR experience.
Forgive me if this has been covered before (and I assume it has) and please point me in the right direction if there is an existing resource which covers this subject but...
Randomly picked from a skin xml file (Default\Popups\MessageBox.xml to be precise), what do the numbers for location and size mean...
I'm guessing that based on varying screen sizes, resolution etc the numbers are percentages of width/height? In other words relative rather than absolute pixels. What about font sizes?
I've tweaked skins over the years with gbpvr and lately some for npvr but it has always just been a case of juggling numbers and seeing how it looked rather than understanding what I was doing.
Firstly thanks to those who have tested nDroid so far and apologies for the gap between releases. The last few months have been busy and I'd also painted myself into a corner with some initial design choices for the software. Programming for mobile devices is a whole different ball-game and I've spent a lot of time over the past few weeks undoing a lot of those bad choices.
I'm aiming for another release towards the end of the month so the request is to remind me of anything specific you'd like to see. It will mostly be just a maintenance release to start but with better network handling and potential for future features. I'll try and add any immediate suggestions to it if I can and then work on from there.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
