1. I noticed in 2.0.3 that in the recordings plugin wher it says "Last Recording:dd/mm/yyyy" mine is showing the date of the first recording not the last. This is also true in 2.1.4.
2. With NPVR in full screen mode and "Stay on top" is selected if you right click and open settings, the settings window opens, gets the focus and is then covered by NPVR's menu window. The NPVR menu is then no longer responsive because the settings window has the focus. The easiest way I have found to get out of it is to ALT-F4 back to the desktop and restarting NPVR. Any chance of getting the settings window to stay on top?
Firstly I would like to say fantastic timing with this release and some great added features, I really missed the search plugin. My wife was just saying how complicated it was having to use a third party player to watch bluray's.
After upgrading to 2.1.4 and installing the LAV Filters 0.29 I find that playback through the video plugin works fine with bluray images but when I trie to play a disc I get upto the first 5 seconds of video, no audio and then it freezes. I can ESC back to the main menu.
I tried making the bluray drive available through the video plugin which also suffered from the playback freezing.
I have attached my NPVR log file incase it provides any clues. Any suggestions ?
Since my upgrade to 2.1.4 I've been having occasional issues playing either Recordings or video files (.AVIs mostly). Once the issue has occurred it will happen to every file I attempt to play until I restart the NPVR application. A service restart is not required to fix the issue.
Copy/Paste of the unhandled exception details below - let me know if logs are required.
Any idea what's causing this?

First of all thank you for this update. Quite a few nice things in it
I have now two separate observations of a recording not stopping on a HDHR.
First time, i thought it was related to the fact that I had not rebooted after upgrading. But today it happened again. I have not had this problem in the previous versions.
Logs attached.
The first issue is in the first logset, regarding the recording from this Monday of "Kyst til kyst - Sydsjællands kyster -_20110704_20002100.ts" The attached png is the error when trying to initially fix it by activating "Restart Recording Service" from the tray icon.
The second is from this evenings recording of "Liebhaverne_20110706_20002035.ts". There was no such error this time when restarting recording service. But the Device status screen apparently froze even if the recording service seemed to be restarted.
Note: I might have to downgrade to previous version temporarily tomorrow due to vacation, unless you have a bleeding edge fix for me to test. Otherwise, I'll be back in a good weeks time.
I have upgraded from 2.0.3 which has been working fine, apart from the choppy audio issue with HE-AAC and Mpeg2-audio enabled.
I use a mapped drive on my desktop (where I also watch tv via my USB Freeview-HD tuner and NPVR) as my destination for both recordings and the temporary live TV buffer.
Since installing 2.1.4, I have been unable to watch live TV with my buffer set as my network share mapped as drive. All I get when trying to invoke liveTV is a blank screen.
When I set the buffer location as one of my local SSDs as a test, it works fine.
I have checked for firewall issues and also turned the firewall off completely and I get the same results.
I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit, with the Cyberlink codecs for both MPEG-2 and HD broadcasts.
Anyone got any ideas ? I did have a thought about the privileges of the recording service being unable to access the mapped drive / shares but that doesn't seem to be it. This is starting to drive me crazy, anyone have any thoughts ?
I am using the composite outputs of my PCH to an old NTSC tv. In GBPVR the picture was all there on the screen but now that I am setting up the client on NPVR I have a screen that is mostly just the middle on menus. videos play fine.

600x480 pretty much cured the overscan on GBPVR cutting off details but this is like you can barely see any text of the main menu it is so zoomed in. I will get the logs up this evening.
I've used GBPVR for a couple years, and upgraded to NPVR a couple weeks ago. I usually use my PCH, but also have 2 MVPs. I appreciate the MVP support in NPVR, and want to thank mvallevand and sub for their work. I promise to replace my MVPs soon.
I did a clean reinstall of Win7 HP in the weekend (downgraded from 64-bit to 32-bit), great timing for new release of NPVR thanks Sub.
I had previously used Windows Task Scheduler to update the XMLTV file and then run NextPVR.exe -UpdateEPGOnly
I setup the scheduled task on the new system, the XMLTV file/s are updating but the EPG is not being updated.
Update EPG works from The Settings window or using the System plugin.
I have tried running the command from the command prompt (run in the C:\Program Files\NPVR directory) but nothing is happening. Has something changed?
Cheers
OK, that's impressive and shows the commitment of the community but is it what someone just starting out wants to hear? It's kind of like saying "NextPVR is SO complex to use..." - kind of off putting.
Perhaps wording it something like..."The NextPVR Wiki provides an extensive range..." or "...pretty much everything you need to know...". Just a thought to make it a little less daunting.
