sub, if you have some time to check this, logs attached.

We currently have a single tuner.

My wife scheduled a recording 6/22 at 8pm on the main TV acting as a server.

I was watching LiveTV from 7pm onward on a computer configured as a client.

Rightly so, at about 7:58pm my client stopped LiveTV (the current tuner is no longer available).

My wife tried to watch the recording in progress on the server and it said no tuners are available, so she assumed it was because it was recording.

Today she went to watch the previous night's recording and it just isn't there. I also don't see an indication of it in the Recordings directory either.

NPVR has been working pretty well for recordings, but this, I think, is the first time a client viewing Live TV got bumped in favor of a recording starting, so I'm curious if there might be an issue there.

Thank you.

I have a Windows 2000 system which runs gbPVR 1.4.7 just fine.
I decided to try nPVR, but have been having problems getting it working.
I currently have the v2.0.3 with the PatchR1 updates.

I think the main problem is that DirectX is not detected by nPVR.
The Settings dialog displays the warning that software rendering is active.
I have installed the latest version of DirectX 9 that is supported on Win2k.
I can not use the web installer linked from the wiki as it doesn't support win2k.
Here is the release I have installed: DirectX End-user Runtime (Feb 2010)
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/det...px?id=9033
This installs version 9.28.1886 of the runtime libs.

My logs are attached, but I didn't see the Java exception that appears
when I try to watch LiveTV. It seems to crash in DShow.
Also, when I try to watch a recording imported from gbPVR, I get video
but no audio, even though I have tried all of the audio Decoder options.

If Win2k is just too old for nPVR, I can understand, but I did see it listed as
supported, so I thought I'd try my luck.

thanks for any advice.

I finished setting up my server. It is 2008 Standard 32-bit with an HDHomeRun. Everything appears to be working except for I cannot view Live TV from the server. I've installed the k-lite codec pack. As a test, I recorded in NPVR and viewed the recording in Media Player successfully. I'm sure it's a setting, but am not sure which. Currently, I have the Redererer set to EVR and the MPEG2 decoder set to "ffdshow Video Decoder". I have already installed 2.0.3 Patches R1 as well. Any suggestions on what I need to do?

In anticipating a move to NPVR I would like to know how I would blast two different satellite receivers individually. I researched a bit about blasting one device in NPVR but nothing about two.

Does the haupblast.exe have an option to point to which card I would blast from if I have both a PVR-150 and an HVR-1600? Or identify which port of the MCE blaster to blast from?

I see the HVR-2250 has two tuners and two blasters. Do the people with that card have the option to blast two different receivers or STBs (set top boxes) to tune to two different channels simultaneously?

FYI, I never got IRserver to work in GPPVR but I could give it another try now that I have read I would have to use version 1.4.2.3158. http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...50-blaster but I would still like to see the alternatives.

I don't see anything about LM Remote Keymap identifying individual ports of the MCE blaster http://www.lmgestion.net/@en-us/4/22/60/...rticle.asp

I've scoured the wiki and the forums, and I can't find this. Where can I set the Default Record Quality (or find out what it currently is)?

The old EWA for GBPVR would display the original air date of a show. Is there a way to do that with NEWA, or would that be an enhancement request?

I've recently consolidated my set top boxes to a single PC that is acting as an NPVR server to a few other PCs acting as clients throughout the house. None of these have native LiveTV or Recording, they are all fed from the above mentioned server.

TVListings works well in this situation, I'm just not sure if it shares it's data like NPVR's TV Guide and Recordings.

Specifically, can it's database & media be shared and accessed by multiple clients? The main advantage would be to share links as made by Amazon or TheTVdb so that they wouldn't have to be reproduced on each client.

As of a few weeks ago my recordings fail with the TS mux but still work with dvr-ms and the same goes for live tv. All of the cases are for ATSC recordings. I don't understand what could interfere with the TS mux. I tried a reinstall of GBPVR but that didn't work. Any help will be appreciated.

So there's an option to auto-record search results but also an option to create 'reminders'...

So how / where do the reminders appear? In NEWA only or are they somehow visible through the NextPVR interface?

Last night my missus was complaining that the nPvr pc was slow & laggy.
When I checked & had a look around I saw that 7 recordings had been made of the same prog & postprocessing was slowing things down a bit

The offending reccordings are

I have 2 Nova-T cards & A Nova S2 card, all were in use.

I've had this a couple of times before but hadn't taken much notice.
