I've been using GBPVR to record from my s-video input for some time... Its just the most stable program I've found to record from my analog inputs. (I was at version 1.4, I believe.) I saw that I've missed a few updates!!!
Anyway, under devices, it recognizes my Vixs PureTV ATSC Tuner, but there are no options for recording from my analog inputs.
I just the latest SearchLite with the addon for Genres but it crashes on me, I get an error message saying it cannot find the genres.list (but I have copied it into the correct folder) and after that the application crashes and reports it cannot open the nvr database.
I am running latest version of nPVR (including all the patches in the latest patch-package). Have not found a way to capture the output from Microsoft error reporting, I found it creates a DMP-file in a temp directory but that file is locked and will disappear after it is sent to Microsoft or if you choose not to send it. Do you need more information Martin?
Here is a copy from commandline (what I did), the genres.list is placed in the directory from here I executed the commad:
Code:
C:\Program\NPVR\Plugins\SearchLite>..\..\GenreLite -i

I don't hibernate my npvr machine as it is generally being used more hours than not. As a result I'm trying to work out how things work with 'sleeping' PCs.
With the nDroid client I'm developing, I can see a situation where the client sends a request to the user's npvr machine but that machine is hibernating. At this point, there isn't going to be an immediate response and potentially if the user doesn't have 'Wake on LAN' set then it will always fail.
It occurs to me this would be the same for EWA/NEWA, for example, so is it a case that this sort of approach requires the user to make sure their machine never hibernates if they want remote access?
probably something stupid i've done but my NPVR has been working flawlessly until last week when all the recordings are going to zero size. I've tried installing the new version reset etc and I look in the nrecord log and can't find anything obvious. What have I done?
Note I uploaded nrecord sep as it wasn't allowing me to add to the zip
Some errors in the logs, works OK on the PC - just not on the NMT.
Plays a few secs then jumps out?

Last night on my client I watched a two hour recording made earlier in the day. At the start of every Ad Break video freezes on a frame of what would be a few seconds of âSponsored by ***â although the sound continued but not from this advert! Jumping forward 3 minutes took you towards the end of the break and the same sponsorâs still frame appeared although the sound from the programme continued. It took quite a bit of jumping forward and back after each break to start watching immediately after the break.
This was a 4:3 programme and the screen changed to 16:9 just before the break and back to 4:3 just before the end of the break but this does not coincide with the video freezing. Afterwards I quickly tried a couple of other recent recordings and neither displayed the problem. This morning I try to investigate the problem further and play the same recording on the server and client and there is no sign of this sponsors advert. So what on earth was going on!! It looks like at the start and end of the adverts a still from an advert was being displayed instead of the correct video stream. I assume this rogue video frame was stored on the video card and something in the data stream caused it to be displayed instead of the video stream. Has anyone else seen anything similar happen?
Im just making the leap to NPVR from GBPVR - and ive done the import recordings option - which brings all the recording through perfectly ... one thing ... none of my recurring recordings are imported.
is there a reason for this - or do i have to manually go through the EPG in NPVR and add them as season recordings again?
