Ok, so I just bought a house and I'm preparing to move and planning out the important things... like a PVR setup! I currently have a single GBPVR setup but I'm planning on starting from scratch and I figured I'd use NPVR. What I'd like to do is have one machine that is the "main" PVR with the really large hard drive and processor and what not, and then a smaller system on the other tv(s) in the house and have them all record to the same drive/database on the main system. I know you can set an NPVR as a client system to another NPVR system via shares and NPVR configuration, but my question is this:
If the recordings and database entries are going to the main machine, can I still schedule each machine for it's own recordings?
I guess another way to ask it is if this is possible:
Main PVR is machine A. Lightweight 2nd PVR is machine B. Machine B is a client to A. If I record something on A, I want to be able to view it on A or B. If I record something on B I want to be able to view it on A or B. I'll be able to schedule recordings on A, but can I still schedule recordings on B? If they all go to the same database how will NPVR know that one recurring recording should be recorded from A and another recurring recording should be recorded from B? Is that possible?
Am I making sense? I know what I want to ask I'm just not sure I'm explaining it right.
The Euro Millions (lottery) jackpot of 185 million Euros was won by a single UK ticket holder.
At the time of the draw, that was the equivalent of about £164.7m but due to fluctuation in exchange rates, it's now worth only £162.5m. That's a loss of £2.2 million in a few hours. The mind boggles.
The 185m Euros is guaranteed but I wonder how I'd feel if I'd won it and knew that in UK terms it was worth over £2m less in such a short time. :eek:

I'm sure I remember this being mentioned in the release notes a few versions ago that an enhancement was added so that if you deleted the last remaining instance of a recording the screen would return to the same position on the list rather than being thrown back to the start of the list, but it isn't doing this for me on the last couple of versions. Is there maybe a setting for this in config?
I just updated to 2.1.4 from 2.0.3; the first 2 recordings scheduled using the Hauppauge Colossus failed with the error 'Unable to locate crossbar filter (#1)'. The name of the crossbar is 'Hauppauge Colossus Crossbar' (see filtercheck.log), but NPVR is looking for 'Hauppauge HD PVR Crossbar' (NRecord.log). The crossbar entry in npvr.db3 is 'Hauppauge Colossus Crossbar', so I'm really confused about how NPVR identifies the crossbar filter.
I have four tuners, 2x DVB-T and 2x DVB-S2. There are many instances of the same channel being available across all four of them.
However, when I try to apply the auto-merge, NPVR pops up a dialog that seems to suggest it's detected candidates for merging, eg:
Code:
"Channel 4 has two matches"
But no merge actually takes place. Both the bulk mapping and channels screens continue to show two separate entries for Channel 4 (and all of the others).
Merging them manually works fine though. There's also doesn't appear to be anything in the logs about it.
This is probably an incredibly stupid question, but how do I disable thumbnail mode for video and music libraries? I'm sure I've looked everywhere. I just want a list of files.
Noticed tonight while My Kitchen Rules was recording, that it wasn't showing up as recording.
Was listed under pending (but you couldn't play it) - ended up having to go through the Video library and play the recording manually from there. I think this has been going on 2.0.3.
Ever since I have upgraded to NPVR I have not been able to get into the config screen on NEWA. I am just now upgrading to 2.1.5 and I see that I still can not access the screen. I have tried IE 7 & 8 and Chrome. I am currently using version 12.0.742.112 of chrome. Really the only reason I wanted into the config was to change the skin of NEWA. I was hoping for something that would do better on Chrome. The search screen is all jacked up. It was just the search2 but ever since the 2.1.4 update both are not right.
I have left all of the login stuff alone to make sure I don't mess up anything for my nmt.
