Hey everyone. I'm a SageTV refugee looking forward to switching to nPVR.

I have the server installed and my HDPVR devices working. Next up is configuring my USB-UIRT to control the cable boxes from nPVR. I know I saw information on that somewhere, but I can't find it now.

How do get the USB-UIRT to show up as a channel changing device? How do I configure the USB-UIRT for two zones?

TIA

I'd like to draw some stuff on top of a playing video - kinda like the VolumeOSD plugin does. I've had a look at its source code, but I can't understand it :confused:

Does anybody have some hints on how to get started with a simple example?

Thanks

I have used Sage and we all know about that little situation that arose a couple of weeks ago. I have several shares on it that hold TV shows. These play fine under NPVR as server or client on my other computers, but my problem is that, even though the shares have no passwords and allow deletions, NPVR can't "see" them unless I map them as network drives on my client machine.

I can only "browse" my network, and without going down that nasty road of the master browser, etc. (Which actually is my Sage server), suffice it to say that it is, of course, the only CPU that does not show up.

Is there a way to manually configure NPVR to accept a set of pathways, for examples, \\server\g, \\server\h, etc ? I can map \\server\g as a network drive and access and play the files, but I would rather not do that if I do not have to.

Hi everyone and this is my first post. Well done on the product " Brilliant" But i have one problem and that is i can record every channel, but only on the HD channels in the recordings there is no sound. I used windows media centre and it recorded HD channels and the sound worked. What could this be ? I'm running windows 7. using leadtek usb tuners ( 2 ). I can't see the problem being the tuners or windows. So i'm lost on this one

Is the recording service (NRecord) required to be running now for 2.1.4 to work?

I only watch TV, and do no recording, so up to now (2.0.3) my NPVR Recording service has been disabled - one less process running in the background.

Now (2.1.4) it won't play unless I either start it manually, or set it to Automatic. Is this new design behavior?

It's worked perfectly up through 2.0.3 with the service disabled.

I checked Config.xml and can't find anything related to the recording service except the <UseRecordingService>false</UseRecordingService> setting in the <Recording> section.

Must I now start the recording service just to watch tv? Help?

I've moved recently to 2.1.4 and I noticed that AutoRemoveMissingRecordings set to false in Config.xml still removes recordings that are not physically present (on external drive which is powered off). This happens when going to the recordings menu. Is it possible to include a patch for this? it's cumbersome to have to re-import the recording list whenever the drive isn't accessible.

Thanks!

Hi,

This is a problem I've been meaning to ask about for a while, still present in the latest version.

When playing a radio recording from DVB-T, neither the long or short backward skip buttons will actually make any progress backwards in the timeline, in fact they seem to cause a forward skip of a few seconds.

Also, the skip forward buttons seem to skip forward more than they should, for example, long skip forward is going forward by between 1.5 and 2 minutes, rather than the 1 minute that it consistently does in tv recordings.

Hi

When i run NMTinstall for GBPVR the installer hangs with the message "Please upgrade NMTInstall to version 1.3" ... Any ways of getting around this?

Thanks a bunch,

I've been playing with metadata & fan art in Videos

If I change the folder.jpg image its not updated, the old image is retained.
I tried deleting it & inserting the new folder.jpg but this made no difference.

If I rename the folder, say Burn Notice to Burn Notice- the correct image is displayed but when I change the name back the old deleted image is displayed again.

This happens with 2.0.3 & 2.1.4

Searchlite crashes when I go to one (and only one) of the found shows.

The crash error, and the screen at the time are attached, as are the logs.

I searched for "RPA", which returned four "RPA"s and one "RPA - Where are they now?". Selecting the base "RPA"s worked fine. Selecting the "RPA- Where are they now?" crashed.
Restarting NPVR has no effect - it crashed again.

The error in the log seems to be
