Somehow an invalid character has crept into the fields used for a manual recording.

I can't get to the recurring recordings list to remove them - I see this as a popup:


If I look in the recurring-backup.xml file I see a cntrl-M cntrl-V before the Advanced Rules:

</matchrules>
</recurring>
<recurring>
<oid>71</oid>
<name> Fork</name>

How best to fix?

I'd really like a function that knows when I've fallen asleep on the sofa halfway through the game, and can resume from the exact point that I fell asleep....

k.

I believe that Channel 4 HD is now available on Freesat on 12607 27500 ,I have tried a number of times to scan for the channel but it it is not detected. Has anyone in the UK managed to detect and set it up.

Thanks for your help

Hi
I recorded Hellboy 2 on TV4 a few weeks ago, and finally got around to sitting down and watching it with the kids. Recorded OK, but I noticed about a third of the way in, I lost the ability to skip forward through the adds. CNT left or right just stopped working. I have never been able to navigate using the time line bar thingy, so bailed out and finished playing in VLC. Is there an obvious reason the skip stopped, and should I be able to click on the timeline, and move back and forth?? Only a minor problem, but would be nice to sort. Am running NPVR 2.03 with what I believe to be the latest patchs...

Cheers

I have PVRX2 set up to record 2 Clear QAM programs at a time from a Hauppauge 2250 card and one Clear QAM channel from a Hauppauge 1600 card. Lately, I have been getting recordings of zero bytes long. Today, I tried to find why this is happening. I thought it might be due to my trying to install NextPVR so I uninstalled NextP{VR and rebooted and still got the same problem.

I found that when I defined the 2250 card and chose the QAM version Config cmomes back and says the card is Type ATSC. When I have it rescan all the channels it doesn't find any Clear QAM (local broadcast) channels. I have Verizon FIOS for a cable provider. The CONFIG log shows an error with TVListings but I doubt this is causing my problems.

I suspect that my problems are due to CONFIG thinking that the QAM card is really an ATSC card. What can I do to fix this?

Hi,
Does somebody has hints on what may be happening?

Manual recording a show works, but if I make it recurring (by clicking on Mon-Fri for instance), the show is properly listed as recurring, but the recording never starts.
This from the desktop or Web UI,
With checking on or off the "use background recording service" option.
Recording one show works from the EPG, but not if I make it recur.

I am on Windows XP, using 2.0.3 NPVR.
Same behavior after installing the first zip of patches.

I was using GBPVR without problems before.

I cannot see any error.

Edit: Well, after de-installing, re-installing dependencies (Direct X, etc), re-installing NPVR and patches. Using background recording service, it now seem to work OK. Problem solved for me then... but I do not know why...

Hi,
I've recently started using NPVR and think its the best PC based PVR I've used so far, nice and responsive and hasn't missed any recordings apart from when I have done something stupid

I do have an issue with recordings from the BBC HD channel, on some programs when it gets to the boundary between the programs (ie it just finished telling you what you're supposed to be watching tomorrow night then starts the main program) the audio gets corrupted and starts sounding like pinky and perky. Sometimes stopping the recording or live TV stream and going back in will make it work but other times I cannot watch the reording at all. The other 3 HD channels are working perfectly, I assume it must be some kind of codec problem so if anyone knows a fix that would be helpful - I also get a much lower audio level produced from the BBC HD channel compared to BBC1 HD etc so assume it must be using a different codec somewhere.

The system I am using is an Acer Revo with Windows 7 64bit and a PCTV 290e stick on the HD side with two other Hauppauge tuners for SD.

Any ideas would be appreciated

Thanks
Andy

Dear all,

so I got to thinking about this. From the Jaggy/peanut thread and BrainStormer's link to the very nice peeps @ MP that have a solution.

With my very new and as yet untried and untested VB .Net coding skills (for skills read :eek: )

I thought a possible solution would be to have a 'checker' prog on startup (or by schedule) to check that the correct psisdecd.dll was installed.

Really it depends if anyone is still using XP. Though I think a lot of users are? (myself included)

If any interest it could be on wiki as part of XP install options (utilities)

I say utilities but I was surprised to see that the logical place for me to put this within NextPVR data directory would have been in a utilities one, but that does not seem to exist?

My thoughts are:

dump an .exe in utilities that checks for the correct psisdecd.dll if it is the one 'that works' do nothing. If it is not. Bring up window prompting user to read the MP thread etc.

Turn it on, shortcut to the .exe in startup or as a schedule. Turn it off, well don't do anything?

Very interested to hear all views and I won't rant

cheers

Hey,

I'm thinking about switching to satellite from terrestrial (in sweden). I heard that viasat locks their cards to a certain machine with some kind of pairing.

So I suppose canaldigital is the only option for me to go with, then?

Or does anyone have any other information? =)

Any recommendation for what dvb-s cards to get nowadays? I'd like something so I can record at least two things simultaneously, and I need something with a card reader. Or do I get the card reader separately? Feeling like a noob
