For Auto Record, when does it Autosearch the EPG? Only at EPG updates? Once a day? Only when you log in once?

I ask as last night a game did not record, and when I looked in the NPVR Guide and Pending Recordings Screens (i.e. not NEWA) other games with the same Auto Record criteria were not highlighted.

However, when I then logged into NEWA, the Recordings immediately showed as greyed shows i.e. "Autorecords".

When I then went back into the NPVR Guide and Pending Recordings Screen, lo and behold the same recordings that were missing 2 minutes ago now showed up :confused:

So I guess my question is what actually triggers an Autosearch, and what can I do to make sure that the shows I want to Autorecord are searched for? If it only searches after you log in, this seems to be a potential show-stopper, if you excuse the pun!

Would a "Search every 6 hrs" (Selectable) option make sense here?

A few years back I was told the only way to record/view HD material from an HD box (in gbpvr/nextpvr) was hauppauge hd-pvr. Is that still the recommended device or is there something newer out there I should go for?

<background info>
I was originally planning on getting some dvb-s2 card to put in the computer, but the rumors here are that the two satellite distributors here have or are about to user card pairing, which means I might not get it to work in my computer. So to save some nerves, I thought the best course of action might be to use the box they provide me with and then the USB-UIRT blaster as a channel changer (or does the hauppauge hd-pvr have a built in blaster, maybe?) Today I use the USB-UIRT as a remote receiver only.

To clarify...

When I'm finished with npvr for the night, I hit the Power button on the PCH remote which takes me to the PCH 'Home' screen (the one with the icons for the music, video, photo, 'documents' folders). I then hit the Power button again to put the PCH into standby.

Working in reverse, I bring it out of standby with Power then have to select the 'documents' icon then select the 'NPVR' option from the pop-up menu...after a short amount of time I get the npvr home screen.

So....thinking as a recent ex-MVP user where I simply had to use the Power button on the MVP remote to wake or standby the MVP using mvpmc, what is the closest I can get to that experience? Are there scripts I can tweak which would speed things up?

I am not sure where the correct forum is for this question. However:

I have installed the Netflix Viewer but can not get the database installed. I have tried 5 or 6 times and once it reaches about 2 minutes into the download it just shuts down (the download app). Let me know what info you want and I will present it. Help?

The goal
We're close to finishing a custom WordPress theme for use with the new NextPVR homepage.

The problem
We have a rendering issue in IE8 that looks to be CSS related.

The solution
CSS is really not my area so I'm asking if there's any CSS gurus (even better WordPress theme guru) that could help out? PM me or post below.

GBPVR not recording anything! Everything has been installed correctly. I changed by PC yesterday.

Have been using GBPVR flawlessly since 2 years now.

Please help urgently as I have to go to office in a short time and have important scheduled recordings to set up before going.

Thanks and regards.

Somewhere, down in the dark depths of history, I installed the NEWA gadget.
It has turned red, suddenly.

What is it telling me?

Maybe I am old, blind and/or feeble-minded, but I can find nothing on this gadget, and I cannot remember where I got it!

Anyone have any info?

Moved from TIVme, bundled software with my usb freeview tuner to NextPVR follwed all instructions but missing some channels

in particular the weaker MUX (viva) and (4music)

I was able to receive these using the old software but the NextPVR is not picking them up in the scan

the channels are receivable ok on other tv's in the house

Love the software much better, as tivme had no order of channels

any idea's?

device is DVB-T IT9135 BDA Filter (usb freeview stick) on a rooftop amplified aerial

cheers

I am in the process of fully moving to npvr.

I have previously used GBPVR with VMR9 custom and PDVD8 decoder for H264 and DXVA. All working on an older P4 3200 and NVIDIA 9500 GT. CPU load <10%

Now on npvr, I can't get DXVA working anymore. CPU load is constantly close to 100%. I have tested VMR9 custom, other renderes don't really work. ffdshow= no picture at all. PDVD 8 and 11 (SAF 6 unl) = no DXVA. Arcsoft = no DXVA and really bad stuttering.

What are my options?

Thanks

I'm having an issue with the current (just updated, June 6) and the previous. Maybe a codex issue?

if I go into a dvd that I have ripped onto the hard drive (videos), some of the dvd's menus do not display/update graphic. I can tell I am in the menu as the audio is running, and if I select blindly the menu behaves, but I just can't see it. Not all DVD's show this, but some do. If I use another program, such as DVD media player classic, the menu looks ok and works properly, but not in nPVR. (does this make sense?)

any ideas?

Thanks.
