I was talking to someone today, just about netflix movie parties. Me being in Canada and having limited content, and her being in the United States and having a wide variety of movies... Just wondering since the content is limited in Canada, would I be able to watch a movie from her list, if the party was made or created by her? Joined her party... Even tho the movie may not be an option on my movie list.

example: She starts up a movie party viewing The Green Mile

The Green Mile is not on my netflix movie list or unavailable

Would I still be able to watch it, through her party?

Thanks for any help

Yet another simple question, does nPvr log its last graph? (i.e. a .grf file for graphstudio etc)

I think it was a config option in GBPVR but I not sure about nPvr, and I can't find anything in the wiki except for the old 'keep digital graphs constructed' option which was unrelated I believe.

Cheers,
Shaun

I have 4 computer all with Win7 Pro 64-bit, running the latest version of NPVR 2.0.3. with the latest patches installed. And, I still occasionally randomly encounter a problem where NPVR stops recording what it is recording, and the service needs to be stopped and started in order for it to respond. However, once the service is restarted, it begins recording again, for a few seconds to sometimes up to 2 or 3 minutes, and then stops again. This usually continues for several hours, where each time I restart NPVR, the same problem occurs. I'll wait an hour and try again. This last occurred last Thursday evening at about 8:00 PM, and no matter how often I restarted NPVR, it did not become stable until after 1:00 PM the following day. This is the longest that this problem has lasted. Usually it will last for a couple of hours, at most. It used to only occur on one computer, this last time it occurred on all 4 computers, simultaneously. I checked the short recording and it looks fine. No issues with quality, video or audio. I have narrowed this down to QAM channels only. THis does not seem to occur with OTA HD, nor does this problem seem to affect Windows Media Center, which I have on a 5th computer, using the same cable feed. I am using an amplifier to split the signal--this does not appear to be the problem. I can also watch these same QAM channels on 2 different TVs without any issues. There is nothing in the log files that indicate a problem. No errors appear in the log file. It doesn't even show that the program being recorded has stopped.

One other note. On 2 of the computers, I am recording both HD (OTA) and SD (QAM) simultaneously, and all recordings stop when this error occurs. On the other 2 computers, I am only recording QAM channels.

How can I help diagnose this problem? :confused:

Cheers,
David

btw, when this error is not occurring, NPVR is awesome! Reliable, simple (not bloated), fast, etc.

Hi

This may seem like a stupid question, but how do you delete capture devices from the list. I'm still showing old devices, they're marked as not present but I cant work out how to delete them totally.

Thanks,
Shaun.

If steeb in a mad moment decided to try some coding that introduced changes to the config.xml what would be the best approach to apply any changes made?

Currently I tend to use the stop/start service controls if I've been tweaking. Can this be done silently? Is there a better way?

cheers

Before I go into detail, I'm certain I'll be asked to zip up & post some files. Only I need to know today is which files/folder/directory do I need to zip for a new Win7 installation. Once some helpful person tells me that, I can then post a meaningful query about my problems getting NPVR to record.

The error message "Access to C:\ProgramData\NPVR\config.xml is denied" is part of the mystery!..

Well, it's a mystery to me. :confused:

Thanks

Robin

I would like to setup NPVR to record programmes which may come along in the future. An example is I would like to record all episodes of “Red Dwarf” but the problem is that the series number is included in the title. At the moment episodes of “Red Dwarf II” and “Red Dwarf VI” are being broadcast so I have setup two recurring recordings. Setting “Match start of title” does not appear to catch both series from just one recurring recording entry. At the moment I try to remember do a search every week to see if a different series being broadcast so I can record it. Is there any way to setup NPVR to record “Red Dwarf *” on a particular channel? NEWA has a manual recurring option but that is based on a specified time slot only not a programme title.

Hi

Just curious if anyone has had any luck with the PxDVR3200 H analogue in.
It's hardware compression and has component as well as svideo in.


Many thanks!
Shaun.

Hi,

Quote:- added ability to get DVB listing from another device. For example, you might get tv listing for an DVB-C or analog channel, from a DVB-S device in the same machine (even if the channel isnt listed on the DVB-S capture source)

I have a Hauppauge 2250 and two 1600 capture cards. In GBPVR I useed the 1600s to get 1 QAM channel and interface with two set top boxes via s-video.

Although I can play back previously recorded programs when I try to view Live TV via the set top boxes I just get a blue screen and noise.

I rebooted the computer and then triedd to view Live TV and have attached the logs.

Any help to get past this would be appreciated.
