Now that I have MB4 out there I want to build Android control of the multiple players in my house. Does anyone have an ideas on what might be the best way to achieve this?
Ideally I'd like to use the NPVR web server as the access point and proxy to control my plugins through a different "page" but I don't know if this is feasible.
For those that have not used MusicLibrary 3 with GBPVR, MB4 is not filesystem based, it uses a database to gather information from music tags and your files. After installing you will need to go into the config screen and do a scan to read in files. For me this takes about 1000 files a minutes. Once you have scanned files spend a bit of time in MB4. It probably will seem odd and maybe slow, but once you get the hang of the navigation it can be easier on big collections. When trying it out you probably should try choices on the menu.
Feel free to read more on the wiki.
Many thanks to Jaggy and ACTCMS for all their help in the design and changes in MB4 and for their comments and alpha testing. Even though this is the first release and I consider it beta they helped make things a lot easier. Of course thanks to psycik for MusicLibrary a lot of it is left intact. Finally thanks to sub for the help as I learned more about skinning and plugins, I almost get it now.
Just migrated my setup to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit & 2.0.3
Everything appears to be ok, but I need to add one channel manually which doesn't get picked up on the device scan. I had to do the same thing with GBPVR on my old setup.
So how do I add a channel manually using the channel frequency?

I am using a Hauppauge HVR-1950 capture card, but there are many options in NPVR, and I'm confused on what exactly I need to do to get it to work with my card.
Hello all,
I'm hoping someone has already tackled this problem and found a cause. I'm using a wired MVP to extend my 2.0.3 NPVR box to the bedroom. After a bit of tinkering, the MVP is booting and loading fine. Also, all of the menus look normal and fit on the screen (4:3).
I'm using a WinTV-HVR-1250 to record NTSC and Clear QAM. Both can be recorded and viewed without issue on the host computer.
When viewing recording on my MVP, analog NTSC recording come across fine while those recorded over the Clear QAM channel have some issues. I performed a test - playing NTSC, 480i, 720p, and 1080i.
NTSC - clear playback with sound.
480i - clear video, clear sound, but out of sync
720p - no video (black screen), choppy sound
1080i - no video (black screen), clear sound
I've attached my logs and config.xml for the test session. If anyone has a few minutes to take a look, I sure would appreciate it.
Approx. log times:
11:07 startup MVP
11:10 NTSC video (MythBusters)
11:12 480i video (Katie Brown Workshop)
11:14 720p video (Religion & Ethics Newsweekly)
11:16 1080i video (Pearlie)
11:18 MVP to standby
Ooops. OK, not really but I think I need a 'factory reset' approach or some way to hack into it.
After initially trying with an HDMI cable, I read on a website that the standard setup screen is initially only available using the CVBS output.
I borrowed my DVD player's CVBS cable and sure enough I got the setup menu but I wanted to switch the standard output to HDMI....which seems to have worked (my TV immediately switched) but now I just get a black screen on both HDMI and with CVBS outputs and I can't find a way to switch back.
I've tried the front reset button and re-running the NMTInstall2.exe but no change. ANy help appreciated. :o
I am moving to windows 7 and NPVR and I have pvr-150 that works fine except the blaster. It looks like it does not work under Windows 7. Is there a cheap alternative? Thanks.
I have some .avi files with two soundtracks (english and norwegian), playing those in VLC I can select which audio I want but when I play them with npvr I hear both audiotracks. Very annoying
Since npvr is not directly involved in playing .avi's, is there some way I can select which track I want? The audio is AC3 stereo.
