Martin,

Again congratulations on this plugin -- my family uses it every day for Netflix, Hulu etc. One issue is that many times the show we are looking for is past the 101 items that get downloaded and I can't figure out a way to see the next ones. Is this possible?

thanks,
Steve

I used GBPVR for several years until my hardware got so inadequate that I moved over to Linux. I am now in the process of "refreshing" my server and am going to move back to Windows. I will be running Windows Server 2008 Standard on a Pentium 4 3.2Ghz with 4GB of RAM. I have 2 Popcorn Hours (one A-100 and one A-110). Previously, I had mvpmcx running via network shares. I do not have hard discs in the PCHs. I do have thumb drives at my disposal. I know there have been many changes with the software package and am curious how the mvpmcx experience is now. I was looking at the stickies, but they are several years old now (maybe I should check the Wiki). Any suggestions/advice on setup/configuration?

Hi,

sorry for the long delay, but I don't have much time at the moment.

I've attached a beta version of the next tv listings release for you to try out. Changes include:

Quote:- added new images and different font for selected programme
- added option to use the default schedule popups (to use advanced rules etc.)
- added option to change the sort order of the guides
- added 'Categories' popup that lists all upcoming shows of a genre
- added logic to move the guide to the current time after playback has stopped
- added support for the inset rectangle
- the panel no longer tries to clear the now playing area when the application exits
- on the mvp, the panel no longer tries to call ForceRender() after updateing the panel
- added option to disable the panel on the mvp

Dear Sub,
I'm in the mid of upgrading my HTPC to new spec and plan wanted to upgrade it to npvr.
My question here is how to retain the recorded videos when installing npvr? Does renaming the gbpvr.db3 to npvr.gb3 works?

We use GB-PVR to capture our satellite feed (we have a shop-at-home style show), which is then automatically converted through GB-PVR to WMV for use by our customer service team to verify occurrences of our show hosts making unfulfillable offers during the presentation of specific items when a customer calls in wondering where their [nonexistent] item is. This system uses a custom-written program to look up the broadcast date/time of said item, and takes the use to it. It's been a beautiful, hands-off system now for almost two years, but I see that NPVR doesn't have an option to automatically transcode a recording to a low-bandwidth WMV... is this functionality permanently gone?

Hi.

I'm using N-PVR version 2.0.3 and when I click Stream on /Manage2.aspx, instead of streaming, the file is immediately deleted. Is this suppose to happen?

Thanks for your time!

The Event on Ch 4 here was on at 23.00 for a couple of weeks so set up a recurring recording for the wife. Now it has been rescheduled to Midnight (must be poor ratings )
But NPVR missed finding it even though it is only an hour later - I presume because it is now on a different day. My fault as usual :confused: !

First of all... THANKS SUB! I really like npvr over gb-pvr (and all others). I've had some problems, but the patches and these forums have helped.

However....

I can set a manual recording just fine, but when I update it the hours change to the current time. I set it for 4:30AM to 7:00AM, but the update page lists it as 4:00PM to 5:00PM, which is the current hour. It doesn't affect the actual recording times.

Just so everyone knows I have been using a SiliconDust HD Homerun at home (as ATSC) and Hauppauge 2250 (3 of them as ClearQAM) at work and so far everything is just fine.

Hello,

I am trying to build a DVR (actually an AVR I have analog (coax) cable) from an older PC.
I am in the United States, but I don't think that fact matters at this point.

3 Questions:

1. I am trying to connect my PC to my TV using the S-Video out port on my video card (GeForce FX 5200 NV34) and using an interface cable that converts S-Video to an RCA video cable. I have the video card resolution set to 620x480 at 60 Hz refresh. The TV shows the post message from the motherboard, but goes black (not static. It is black.) when the windows splash screen pops. It also stays black after I have logged in.
My setup:
Motherboard: ECS EliteGroup K7VMA REV 1.0
CPU: Athlon XP 2400+ (1.93GHz) 266FSB
Video Card: LeadTek GeForce FX5200 NV34 8XAGP 128MB DDR w/VGA, DVI & TV-Out
OS: Windows 2000.
Motherboard, OS, and Video Card drivers are as up to date as possible.

What do I need to do to keep the TV reading from the RCA (converted from S-Video) input?

2. Would it be useful to use a cable that converts the SVGA to RCA?

3. (Since I'm already asking) What is the most trouble free PCI TV Tuner capture card?
(A remote would be nice, but I'm not picky.)

Thank you

Hi,
Not a support request, but I was wondering if, since NPVR 2.03 added
