I believe that the 999 keypress sequence TOGGLES auto-skipping off and on during video playback. However, the acknowledgment message always says "No Skip". Can it be changed to say "Auto Skip" when skipping is being toggled ON?
Things are working pretty well for me with 2.1.5 now. So, I'm moving on to asking for "would be nice" items.
One of the places where we've noticed a "lagging" is when deleting recordings. As an example, I just deleted a Big Brother recording. I've attached the mvp.log from this example. If I'm reading it correctly, the only logging is when I click on the "OK" in the confirmation popup at 9:50:59.976 and then at 9:51:06.646 for the UiStatic.Dispose() (which I think is after the deletion is completed and the confirmation box is removed):
Code:
2011-07-17 09:50:59.876 [DEBUG][3] User pressed: Return
2011-07-17 09:51:06.646 [DEBUG][3] UiStatic.Dispose()
So it took about 7 seconds. That wouldn't be soo bad, but there is no feedback to the user that the "OK" was actually received and is being processed. Since sometimes the remote commands don't get transmitted/received for whatever reasons, the user doesn't really know if it's just taking a while, or the button press got missed. Then the user (me, in this case) tries pressing "OK" again. This click gets queued up, and once the delete is finished and the display goes back to the recordings list, then the "OK" gets processed, and up pops a details display for another recording:
Code:
2011-07-17 09:51:07.083 [DEBUG][3] User pressed: Return

I don't know if there is anything that you can do to speed up the deletion. If you'd like me to do a test with a version that will log more in that process, I can. However, if you could at least add some visual feedback that it is "working" that would be much appreciated. Maybe you could clear out the contents of the pop-up window, but still leave it displayed? Or close the pop-up window, but leave the recordings list window empty until it's reloaded and ready to go?
Recently I changed to using a lighter background for the DetailsPopup in the next blue skin. I notice that the description text seems to have a outline around it that I can't change. I think it was originally designed for a darker background with white text.
I was wondering if it was possible to clear up (remove) the description text outline? Thanks
I've been using LAV Audio Decoder for a while now for all audio in NPVR except for HE-AAC for which Divx AAC is required here in UK for our Freeview HD audio. LAV Audio decoder is available in the HE-AAC decoder settings but gives no sound if selected.
Now it does not seem to be the "fault" of LAV because the Freeview HD files play ok using it in Zoomplayer. So I think one of the NPVR filters probably needs tweaking to support LAV. I'm just being minimalist here trying to eliminate unecessary filters I guess but it would be nice to have a choice of HE-AAC decoders or eliminate Divx from the system.
Guys, i know this probably belongs in the wd live web site, but was wandering if anyone has experienced the same and had a fix. All this through the wd live product. The programs are recorded using NPVR.
Hi , I record all my tv shows. I'm having problems at the moment where you go to fast forward and after 5 seconds it goes back to the beginning. This is very frustrating. I recorded gladiator last night and tried the fast forward and it worked where i fast forward and press play and it plays from where i say to play. But on the shorter shows of 1/2 an hour or so it dosen't seem to fast forward successfully, but stops after 5 seconds and goes back to the beginning. it sometimes maybe be longer. Can anyone help.
After installing nPVR the software only detects the ATSC and QAM tuners on my card. How can I get the NTSC (Composite and S-Video as well) to show on the devices list
It would be helpful to be able to access NPVR settings from the tray icon in situations (such as mine) where the NPVR screen and the Windows desktop are each plugged into separate inputs on the same TV.
In my case, NPVR displays on an HDMI input, the Windows desktop via a VGA input. To access settings, I have to switch to one TV input, right-click on Settings, navigate the menu, and switch inputs again to change anything. Right-clicking on the tray icon would save a lot of hassle when you're switching back and forth reach time a setting is changed.
Right now, it's a bit tortuous - I can't be the only one using NPVR as a PVR in the living room this way.....
SSPlus is a replacement for the default screensaver. It provides a range of user selectable Views from a simple logo to detailed Now Playing information including Album Art and tag information.
