I get a crash when a select any of the A-Z items on the new search screen in a PC client.

Can post logs if required if it's just me?

The next beta update to Music Box4 is now available on the wiki. http://www.nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php?....MusicBox4 It requires version 2.1.4 of NPVR and uses sub added to improve MB4.

New features

- Search and save Album Art (folder.jpg) from musicbrainz.org,
discorg.com and last.fm from the track dialog (on track)
- Pause icon on Jukebox views
- Other plugins can start MB4 in Random mode
- Play can now be used to add to Playlists while music is playing.
- If found, the Jukebox views will display the ID3 track artist
instead of the album artist

ML3 Additions

- Added ability to use File System Watchers to drastically reduce the
need for scanning. Does require some PC resources but it was something I used
- Do database updates scan from Options popup.
- Show correct running time on NMT

Changes
- fixed database import from ML3
- update scan is not just on date but will also update if file not in database
- misc bug fixes (probably a few added).

Note that this will be the last release that will try to stick to the ML3 database format. I encourage all ML2/ML3 users to upgrade now.

Finally thanks again to ACTCMS and Jaggy for their valuable comments and feedback. I encourage everyone to upload their feedback too, I may not always agree but I will always listen.

Dear all,

I would be very interested to hear from users that occasionally visit this forum or new users that are just finding that NextPVR 2.14 has just been released how that experience is going?

i.e.

how did you find out?
how clear was the forum?
how did the wiki help?

etc etc

and of course a big thanks to sub, as usual, looking very very good

cheers

steeb

i dont see any svideo ports listed in the devices section under QAM tuner or ATSC tuner
i read the wiki on how to check the analogdevices.xml file and it looks correct, i didnt have to change it.

i am using directv running into the svideo port and its works on the old legacy version.

A couple of clarifications on the changes in 2.1.4 if I could!

First, I'm presuming the patches already made to NUtility.dll will carry forward, and were just not interesting enough for the change list.

Were there any other changes in the API world of which we should be aware? The DLL folders and multiple listviews per skin are the ones dearest to my mind, although I'm sure other developers have different priorities. (But they aren't writing this, so nyah!)

Anything else we should know about?

Edit:

2.1.4 does seem to check for support .dll files in a /common folder, which can be in either /Program Files/ or the Users tree. It doesn't seem to check the actual plugin folder though, which seems a bit odd. I must be missing something.

I'm taking the liberty to remind those that read only this forum that 2.1.4 is out

You can download 2.1.4 from http://www.gbpvr.com/NPVRSetup_2_1_4.exe.

If you're new to NextPVR, see the list of pre-requisite software at: http://www.gbpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.ph...Pre-requisites (directx runtime, visual c++ runtime etc). If you're upgrading from an earlier build, you need to make sure you stop the NPVR software before installing.

Please post any support issues in the support forum.

From the change log:

Quote:2.1.4
- added analog channel scanning
- added blu-ray support to both 'video library' and 'DVD' in main menu. To play Blu-Ray you need AnyDVD-HD installed, aswell as the LAV Splitter. This will get you playback of the main movie, not menus.
- added support for more than one Hauppauge Colossus
- added Teletext support. Ctrl-T to start in live tv.
- added Teletext subtitle support.
- added support for 3rd party IRecorder plugins for those that want to implement their own recording plugins.
- added logic to enable playback of TS files that have PAT/PMT entries for channels that dont exist in the .TS file.
- added simple search screen, much like the old search screen in GBPVR. Users upgrading from earlier versions may need to go into Settings->Plugins to enable it. New install will already have it enabled.
- fixed an issue that was stopping an Australian channel from working in live tv. Other channels may have had the same issue.
- displaying channel names slightly wider in tv guide if channel icon doesnt exist.
- OSD timeouts now configurable in config.xml
- added a 'Use Reverse Priority For Live TV' for the tuner ordering, for those that prefer it to work like GBPVR with top-down priority for recording, and bottom-up priority for live tv
- fixed a crash that could occur with manual recurring recordings (where 'keep' was set to something other than 'all')
- fixed an issue with typing a channel number in the TV Guide and selected show details wouldnt update (aswell as selected show highlighting).
- fixed issue with 'Record All Episodes, All Channels' (relating to shows with single quotes in the title)
- fixed an issue that could cause an MVP server to not clean up correctly after disconnection
- fixed a DVB-S diseqc issue with low band channels.
- fixed an issue which could playback to hang on client if the recording was played right to the very end of the file.
- added support for folder.png. Previously it'd only look for folder.jpg.
- fixed issue that could cause previously loaded preview artwork (like folder.jpg) to sometimes disappear after viewing a couple of hundred other items with preview artwork
- fixed a problem where sometimes NPVR window would start too large (in previous windowed location, but with the size of the desktop resolution, and bottom right of window hanging off the screen)
- added support for .m3u playlist files in the Music Library
- added support for Windows directory shortcuts in Video/Music/Picture library
- fixed a problem with the recordings highlighted in the TV Guide timeline when skipping back/forward a day
- fixed a problem with recording shows that have names ending with dots "..." etc
- fixed a problem where app would sometimes start fullscreen sized, but in windows position, so window pushes past the bottom/right of the screen
- fixed a problem where it could take a while for the song name at the bottom of the screen to update after switching songs.
- made some additional settings (used by the the recording/web server) dynamic so that nrecord didnt need to be restarted
- fixed bug where hot keys wouldnt work when music playback was active.
- added support for Turbosight CI (TBS devices)
- pressing 'play' with a folder selected in the picture library will now do a slide show of files contained within that folder, including nested folders it contains.
- if a recording fails to start due to an error, the recording service will attempt to find a another available device that can do the recording
- improved tuner usage logic to make it more likely for recordings to include padding in multi-tuner setups
- tray icon now goes red when recording service is using a device
- fixed a problem with high CPU usage in the screen saver
- slightly changed the way cover art is loaded in the Video Library to give better performance and background loading of images.
- added API for plugins to block/unblock screen saver
- added API for plugins to check if music is playing
- updated the tuning files for DVB-S, and for a most UK DVB-T regions
- improved handling of errors when attempting to enter directories with no permission to do so in Video/Music/Picture library. It'll no show a 'directory unavailable' message.
- fixed DVB EPG issue with 'epg updates during live tv' that could duplicate entries in the TV Guide
- improvements for live tv skipping on NMT.
- fixed an issue that could cause customized library directory settings to be lost during upgrade.
- music playback now toggles pause status on multiple presses of the pause key
- added "-export" and "-import c:\somepath.xml" command line options for importing/exporting recordings
- fixed a problem that could lead to duplicate channels on setups with more than one HDPVR
- in the bulk map screen I've added an 'auto-merge channels with the same name' button, which might be useful for users with channels on different types of device that would like channels with the same name to treated as the same channel.
- fixed an issue with HDMI audio on Colossus capture devices
- added ability resume DVDs
- added checkboxes for enabling/disabling resume prompting for DVDs or Video Library.

I have just changed my setup from xp, mvp and gbpvr to Windows 7 popcornhour a110 and npvr.

Everything works fine. I leave the windows 7 pc on all the time and just turn on the tv and popcorn hour to start viewing.

But after leaving the system off for a while( a few hours at least) unless I restart the pc I just get a black screen.

The npvr menu can be seen, the screen saver pictures can be seen, the sound can be heard but just a black screen. If I try to play previously recorded material, the same is true.

I think it is a device going to sleep on the windows 7 pc. I have changed various power saving settings but to no avail.

Has anyone come across this before. I have a nvideo card ,, wired network ,hdmi connected to popcornhour hour and 3 pci Nova T tuners.

Thought I'd put in a request for adding 3 skin options that might be nice to have:

1. Be able to change the Font Color for only the "selected" option on the main menu using the horizontal config (should always be the one in the middle) but leave the others a different color.

2. Be able to put a backdrop image under all the TV Guide elements (in addition to the base NPVR background).

3. Be able to show a preset generic image in Pending Recordings if no show or movie image is found.

Thanks.

I use a standalone exe called USBUIRTSEND.EXE to send IR codes to my USB-UIRT and .dat file containing a set of learned IR codes, that GBPVR (when it had that function) "learned" for me a few years back. NPVR does not have a built in learning (or transmitting function), which is why I use the utility.

Now, it works well with the OLD .dat file.

However when I learned (using USB-UIRT'slrnhelper app) a new set of pronto remote IR codes recently, and saved the .dat file, USBUIRTSEND.EXE does not send anything at all? I confirmed the USBUIRT lrnhelper program does SEND ("fire") the learned codes OK, to the USB-UIRT.

I attach the two dat files; would anyone be able to shed any light on why the old codes work and the new ones do not?

Thanks
k.

HKNowBB YX-5218A are the old codes GBPVR learnt for me.
NewNowBBBoxPronto.dat are the new codes from lrnhelper
