This is a fresh install with the HDHomeRun software installed. I am able to view channels with the HDHR and VLC. When I click "Show Status" from the NPVR tray icon, I see the 2 tunes under devices. In the HDHR setup, I've set the application to "Other QAM/ATSC" and all firewall services are disabled. When I attempt to scan channels, the screen is blank and never advances. It seems like it's waiting for something.

The system is running Server 2008 Standard 32-bit with Desktop Experience installed.

I have a snippet from the logs:

Quote:We’re thrilled to announce that SageTV has been acquired by Google.

I am a brand new convert from MediaPortal. I've done little more than tinker so far, but I am very impressed. System basics are: Athlon XP 3000+, 1 GB RAM, nForce3 mobo, Ralink 802.11G WiFi, Radeon HD 3450 AGP/HDMI, WD 300 GB SATA HDD, Hauppauge HVR-1600 (using clear QAM), and XP SP3.

Everything seems to be working perfectly, but every time I start live TV or try to change channels, it takes anywhere from 30 seconds to 4 minutes to do! Once the playback finally starts it is perfect and watchable. Just the changes are absurdly sluggish.

Is there anything I can do to improve this?

TIA,

Greetings all,

just wondered, with NextPVR/GB-PVR I do something like:

<!-- MVP Study -->
<MAC-000DFxxxxxxx>
<MVPVideoStandard>auto</MVPVideoStandard>
<MVPSendIncrementalUpdates>true</MVPSendIncrementalUpdates>
<MVPFlickerFilter>none</MVPFlickerFilter>
<MVP16x9Mode>false</MVP16x9Mode>
<MVPOutput>1</MVPOutput>
<MVPWidth>680</MVPWidth>
<MVPHeight>554</MVPHeight>
<MVPOffsetX>20</MVPOffsetX>
<MVPOffsetY>20</MVPOffsetY>
<MVPTranscodeTS>false</MVPTranscodeTS>
</MAC-000DFxxxxxxx>

where the

<!-- hello world -->

or

<!-- MVP Study -->

is ignored by NextPVR and does not affect the config loading.

My question would be is there a way to read that part of the config.xml and link it to the MVP specific underneath?

with vb.net and the xml document class?

I didn't want to bother Mr bgowland too much on this one as I constantly pester him

cheers

I am missing quite a few channels from the TV guide when accessing via the web.

They show up fine through the main applications, and I'm sure they we are there when I first installed nPVR.

I'm really liking the way AMD are integrating GPU's onto thier chips it's a really nice direction for htpc's, has anyone tried the already released E350 boards with NPVR, looks like they are up to the job as a server or silent client, and although still more expensive than a PCH refurb you could probably sling one together for £180 ish without an OS.

I'm experiencing infrequent NRecord.exe crashes with acamd.dll.
I get this in event viewer:

Faulting application NRecord.exe, version 1.0.0.0, time stamp 0x4d6be204, faulting module ACamd.dll, version 0.6.2.0, time stamp 0x4d1dcdcd, exception code 0xc0000417, fault offset 0x0003a967, process id 0x13c4, application start time 0x01cc22fa73b450dd.

Had the same problem (but more frequent) with 0.6.1.8 of acamd.
A bit of searching suggests that exception code 0xc0000417 means
STATUS_INVALID_CRUNTIME_PARAMETER. Sounds like an invalid parameter was passed to a C runtime function.

No trace of the crashes in any of the logs (npvr logs or acamd logs).

Anyone else seen this?
Any suggestions on fixes?

(I'm using Vista Business 32bit)

Just spotted this...

I noticed this yesterday but didn't have time to look at it closer. Basically, the TV Guide is 'empty' (no grid and no show details anywhere). Some issue with a KeyNotFoundException...

Recently installed GBPVR on a new motherboard (Asus E35M1-M Pro) with Windows 7. Everyhting seems to be working fine so far, except for one problem...

During playback of a recorded show, playback will suddenly pause. After about 30 seconds it resumes by itself. While PVRX2 is in this unexpected pause it is unresponsive.

There don't seem to be any errors in the logs. Only thing I can see which could be of interest is the following:

The pauses seem to happen at the same time as the OnPaint().

Any ideas of what may be causing these unsolicited pauses?
