Hi sub, as discussed earlier I'm still finding the recordings plugin really slow.

Will enclose a Log and the XML file, as It should show you the sorts of times we're seeing almost 30 seconds or longer.

And that the xml file has those two "don't check missing recordings" options set.

Check around 2011-07-05 19:36:15.691 onwards where the wife was starting to watch my kitchen rules. When she hit the end of this recording it took a really long time to get back to the menu, and in this time she'd hit the stop button which resorted everything.

My operating systems crashed (Vista 64 with GB-PVR). Since I was not able to restore the system, I took the opportunity to upgrade to Windows 7 and nPVR. I got everything working and would now like to import almost 2TB of recordings into the nPVR. Although I can't execute the old system, I can read the data from the drives.

I found the Import Recording function but I do not know where to find the xml file from the old GB-PVR system. How do I go about importing these recordings?

I''m using the following command to mount a map in windows 7 that has some DVD's in it:

I currently have 3 PCR-150 tuners and my cable company recently switched our service from analog to digital requiring a STB. Fortunately all of the channels I care about are unencrypted QAM so I think I can get a new tuner to get back in business.

Couple of questions:

- I read in a few posts that a single tuner can record multiple shows with a digital signal. Can I get a single tuner to record 3 simultaneous shows with a QAM source?
- I have a mix of remote devices including MVPs and PCs. I would like to have the option of recording high def shows to watch on my PCs. If I don't know which client will be used, I am assuming I would just have two recordings - one with hi-def and the other on the standard channel right?
- What tuner would you recommend as a good replacement and why?

Thanks for you any help you can provide!!!

I was waiting until 2.14 to post this, hoping the update would help. In just the past few weeks I've moved to a permanent client/server model with NPVR.

I'm having a re-occurring, random problem with my HD-PVRs arranged in a client/server setup. Often, I start LiveTV and it works great. When I stop LiveTV and attempt to restart it, I'll get the "please wait..." dialog and it'll just sit there and time out.

If I go and visit the server, I'll see the HD-PVR it attempted to use has it's "bling" lights on. It is as if the "stop" livetv command from the previous viewing on the client isn't stopping the HD-PVR, which then fails to start up the next time.

NPVR still thinks that HD-PVR is in use for LiveTV. The only way to reset it is to exit out of NPVR on the server, power cycle that HD-PVR, and startup NPVR again.

I have two HDPVRs connected, I've swapped them around to make sure one isn't behaving badly (one is actually brand new). It has randomly happened with both.

I've made sure firewalls are off on both client and server as well as used the actual statically assigned IP address server address on the client instead of relying on DNS.

Server and client are hardwired on a GIG switch (not a router, a real switch.)

Any advice would be most appreciated.

I'm trying to upgrade to NPVR using a Pinnacle PCTV 80e but I can't get clearQAM to work. OS is win7. ATSC works fine, QAM doesn't. In all fairness, I don't know whether QAM works properly on this tuner (don't have any other way to test it). I do have clear channels (TV tunes in).

I see 2 tuners:
PCTV 80e/290e/460e BDA 2875 TVTuner C (QAM)
PCTV 80e/290e/460e BDA 2875 TVTuner (ATSC)

I tried the "ATSCMode => 2" registry trick from other posts but didn't work. I also deleted the temp file from the dotnet library and restarted. What I see in the logs is:


About to submit tuning request
Unexpected error on ATSC put_TunerRequest: 0x80070057


Any help is appreciated!

I'm off on holidays this week and I'm wondering if there is an easy way for me to record the F1 this weekend then download when I'm abroad.

I could just use NEWA to download the recording, but my home upload speed isn't great and I'm worried the connection at the end I'm downloading it will flake out half way through.

Ideally for this single program I'd like my server to post process it into h264 to get the size down, then add it to my drop box, that way at the other end the file is small and download speed will be limited by dropbox not my home up speed.

Any ideas what might be the easiest way of doing this, at the moment I'm thinking of just leaving VNC running so I can remote in and do it manually.

Just upgraded t 2.1.4 - thank you sub!. However, it's thrown an error on trying to parse XMLTV's XML file, which didn't happen before. [ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]

Has anything changed here? Thanks

The recent changes in the BBC HD broadcasts on UK FreeSat seem to have caused a problem with my TT S2-3200 card. It still works fine for the SD channels, but it creates zero length files for BBC HD and BBC1 HD.
I get this in the nrecord log

This happens every time I select a program from the TV guide and choose "Watch".
I have a Q-BOX CI USB card with the latest drivers. My OS is Win7-x64.
Any idea?
Thank you!
