Hi

I have a dedicated windows xp machine running GBPVR. As it has no keyboard or mouse (it's just connected to the TV and the network) if I need to change any settings in GBPVR I use remote desktop to log into the machine and then, because RD leaves the pc on the login screen when one logs off, I have to trigger a reboot in order to get the machine to auto-login and start GBPVR.

Also, using remote desktop is useless for trouble shooting because it doesn't support VRM9.

Is there a more convenient way of configuring GBPVR from another machine on a network?

Thanks
Tom

Hi folks,

I've been using GB/NPVR as stand alone units for a long time now and am looking for input for what folks have been doing with client server. I'm interested in reliability of the setup, mostly.

I have two Time Warner STBs so I'm limited by those for HD. With a growing family (and TVs) I'm thinking of moving those STBs, along with their HD-PVRs to a central NPVR "server".

Some thoughts, for me, and questions:

- computers aren't an issue. The kids computers can easily be used as clients, plenty of horsepower; I already have decent computers in exiting NPVR locations. As such, I'm not interested in devices like Popcorn Hour, or other media jukeboxes.

- doing this allows a limited resource, namely rented STB signals, to be used in multiple locations - that's one of the driving factors.

- how does a streaming server/client LiveTV/Recording's quality compare to the STB/HD-PVR being directly connected to the host TV?

- How reliable is it? I've seen some NPVR threads discussing client/server issues, have these been addressed?

Thanks everyone!

I have just attempted to install nextpvr on windows 7 - when i run it and follow the instructions to go to the device setting tab the list of devices is empty and since i am not clear what exactly devices refers to i am unsure of what to do next

i have no tv reception on my pc (no point because of signal problems which is why i am interested in nextpvr) and am looking for a way to access and record web tv streams - have i got the right software for this ?

any help much appreciated - i'm not tech expert but i can usually follow instructions etc

many thanks

Hello,

its a long time since I have been on here, but I need some help getting my old hauppauge PVR 350 working with nPVR

I am running on windows XP and live tv displays a picture ok but I get no audio, but if I play back music, that plays correctly

I can also happily play old mpg recording I made with gbpvr without problems

I have tried selecting various audio decoders in both mpeg1 audio decoder and ac3 decoder but still hear nothing

on my system I feed the svideo input on the pvr350 from a settop box and change channels using its remote

I also know the pvr350 is receiving audio as I recorded using gbpvr earlier which had audio but the recordings stop after about a minute for some reason, which is why I troed to upgrade to npvr

how do I set the channels picked up from xmltv file to use the composite input rather than the tuner

this forum has always been helpful in the past so here's hoping someone can help me out again

thanks

I'm thinking of building a home DVR.

I have Verizon FiOS. I have one set top box.

I was wondering, is it possible to watch live TV while recording something at the same time?

Next PVR is good but i am still using GBPVR as it has the add on features I like at the moment.

I have had to re image my computer - last done before upgrade to the last version of PVRX2. Where can i find that last version to download?

hi, can watch tv fine, and can record fine when not watching tv, but if i schedule to record a program whilst watching another, picture freezes and have to use Ctrl Alt Del to end program, any thoughts?

Dear Sir.

I am now getting another big problem after the change of my PC as mentioned in my earlier thread.

Most of the recordings that I am doing are being faulty with stream errors. Around 2 hours of recording are showing up as only 10 or 20 minutes in the time bar. Also the cursor gets stuck or jumps midway which is also evidence of stream errors.

I am using Windows XP and using the same Hauppauge cards since the last 2 years with no prb.

Please help.
Kind Regards.

Hello NPVR Community,

I need your help.
I'm trying to turn my home server into a web based PVR with NPVR.
So far I have hit some major roadblocks I'm hoping you can help with.

Here is some info:

Environment:
Windows Server 2008 Standard SP2 + Desktop Experience (aka Windows Media Player)

The following software has been installed:
Microsoft .NET Runtime v2.0
DirectX 9.0c runtimes
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Runtimes.
CCCP Codec Pack
NPVR

Tuner Card:
Ati Theater 650 pro (FilterCheck.log in SOS package)


Problems:

1. I can play DVDs put the screen is upside-down.
(This really is a minor issue, what I really want to work is the PVR)

2. I cannot watch live TV. Everytime I try it says Unable to locate Crossbar Filter
(Screenshot included in SOS package along with logs)

To me the logs do not indicate a problem. Please assist.

In the settings menu it complains it cannot find DirectX. I installed both DirectX and DirectX 11 runtimes.



I am really new to this software and would really like to get it working.
All help appriciated.

Hey guys,

Have just installed nextPVR. I don't seem to have any audio coming from any channels. Here's my settings, what do I need to change to hear the audio?
