sub - I'd like to know when a Music Playlist is stopped by the user (Ctrl-S) while I'm inactive and don't see OnKeyDown events.
Is there any chance you could raise a Notify event as well? Or maybe add an arg to PLAYBACK_STOPPED to indicate if Crtl-S was pressed or the playlist came to a natural end?
I did a fresh install of NPVR to replace my long-running (3y) install of GBPVR. All seemed to work pretty well. Because I have an older system, I played around a bit with the Video Renderer setting in the Decoders section, trying VMR7 and VMR9. It looked like EVR worked best with lowest CPU use, so I set it back to that. At that moment, I noticed that I had lost all OSD during playback. I mean ALL OSD. Nothing when I pause, nothing when I pause live tv.
Another matter, that seems related is that I can't change the aspect ratio for playback anymore. F7 has no effect and even using the right click popup menu for aspect ratio changes nothing.
After some experimenting, it looks like selecting Overlay is the only way to bring my aspect ratio control and OSD back. None of the other renderers work. I have even completely scrapped the NPVR program and data directories and reinstalled from scratch without any positive effect. What's going on? I have seen exactly the same behavior in an earlier version of GBPVR. That only fixed itself after an update to a new version.
NPVR seems to have missed a couple of recurring shows.
Looking in the logs, I note that they have the message "doesnt match recurring rules" when the EPG update is run.
I cant see why - they look to be on the correct channel, and I have all episodes on the channel set.
What would make this message be issued?
The show is Kingdom, and the relevant log is attached.
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:

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.
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.
