I've finally installed NPVR after 3 years of happiness with GB PVR.
First, I'm impressed by NPVR. Cool and nice. I'm loving it already.
All is good, except that I have a problem with multiple recordings at the same time.
NPVR is installed on a XP PC with 2 DVB-T USB tuners (AverMedia & Emtec). If I want to record just one show with the first tuner, everything is fine. But, if I want to record in the same time a second show on a different channel with the second tuner or watch something in live tv mode, Nrecord.exe crashes or hangs.
Seems that Nrecord.exe doesn't communicate anymore with NPVR 4-5 seconds after the second recording is beginning. At this moment, NPVR hangs a little moment, then I close it with task manager.
With the tray icon of NPVR, when I select "Show status", nothing is displayed in the window. After restarting Recording service, my 2 tuners reappear in the "show status" windows, recordings seems to restart. But 10-15 seconds after, the same bug comes all over again.
I don't think that is a firewall problem, because ports 8968 and 7969, and NPVR.exe and Nrecord.exe are in the exception of my Windows' firewall.
Any idea how I can fix this problem ?... Any help would be appreciate, thanks !
I'm using the latest version which has been ok until a couple of days ago.
When I click the record button I get the following error report -

The recording is set though.
I also get a similar error when I search for a program name -

I've no idea whats going on as I haven't changed anything on my setup
With the huge number of satellite channels floating around - and more annoyingly, moving transponders, I find myself scanning fairly regularly and trying to spot moves as they happen.
However, here at least, there are vast numbers of channels that I have not the least interest in and would like to see the back of them permanently. Would it be possible to have a flag in the database that when set, would disable them from any view in setup so the wheat can be seen from the chaff.
I'm finding the recording plugin very slow to enter, and very slow to switch between what's new and ready recordings.
Could this be because it's checking the existence of video files (and there are a bunch over the network).
Here's a log anyway.
Once other place I've noticed slowness - and probably isn't just a change in when the acknowledgment is posted, is starting a recording (from tv guide). The programme used to change colour pretty instant, whereas now I assume it's waiting to find if the tuner has started. It's probably a perception thing but it's up around the 2 seconds before the colour changes.
I noticed that with VMR9 FSE selected, the settings screen can't be accessed with a right click. The reason is kind of obvious, and of course the config file can be edited manually to get out of FSE, but it's not very noob friendly if there's a fix that can be applied any other way.
I know there is support of the colossus in NPVR 2.0.3 but I really didn't have any luck getting that working correctly with my setup. (multiple tuners + multiple brands of tuners leading to multiple entries for each channel in the guide)
Has anyone tried / does anyone know if GBPVR can support the colossus card? I had a couple of HD-PVR boxes working but one of them is currently in the process of dying (clay faces, banding, and streaking) and I wanted to replace it and the colossus looks like the better option all around.
Hi, I'm based in Wgtn, use DVB-T and get a nice HD signal (i.e 1080 vertical resolution), eg on TV1. But recently I was in Tauranga, looking to set up an npvr box for the folks... but I noticed their TV1 only reporting 576 resolution.
They have a fairly new Sony TV and I was tuned into digital via the TVs built-in tuner.
Anyone know if the DVB-T resolution is transmitted lower in some parts of the country than others? I.e before I go any further I am wondering whether this is the standard res there, or whether they have a reception problem? (I doubt the latter because they got a new terrestrial aerial at the same time as the TV.)
Apologies if this has already been discussed. Two possibly separate issues:
First up, nPVR seems to lose its location in a recording if I skip around while the recording is paused. If I pause at 03:00, and skip backwards using CTRL+r, the OSD shows:
02:46
02:48
02:37
02:30
02:36
...
and so on. It's not skipping back evenly in 10s increments, and sometimes even skips *forward* several seconds. Skipping whilst playing works just fine; I get an even 7-8 second skip as expected.
If I stop pressing CTRL+r and start pressing CTRL+f, the time continues skipping backward for another couple of key presses before starting to skip forward. When it does skip forward, it's also not in 10s increments. If I switch back to CTRL+r, it continues skipping forward for another couple of key presses before starting to skip backwards; still somewhat erratically.
Secondly, and possibly related: I pause a recording, then skip backwards 10s, then play. It takes several seconds (somewhere from 4 to 12 seconds) to start playing again. When it does start playing, it will play from the original pause point or thereabouts.
The more skipping around, the longer the delay until play resumes - during some of my experiments on the first issue, nPVR took upwards of 2 minutes for play to resume.
just looking for clarification from experienced spam handlers
Since sub installed the spam-o-matic function things have been lovely and quiet on the spam front. One slipped through a few minutes ago and not knowing what it did I used the spam-o-matic option to deal with the threads/user.
This now shows as:
1 Spammer Permanently Banned
under spam-o-matic statistics. Which wasn't probably my intention. Better to just use the standard 'delete posts as spam' option rather than the spam-o-matic one?
