There's one thing in sorting movies/folders, which i don't like. I know, this is a typical windows behaviour, but perhaps you can do something against this.

Collecting / backing up videos is a nice hobby. And npvr is a great platform as "mediathek". Single movies are no problems. Trilogies or Quadrologies will put in subfolders (otherwise the normal directory would be grow too fast too big for comfortable steering in npvr).

I have a folder for movies. Most of them are "one part", also just in the root of a subfolder. But some of them are put in a subfolder (mostly boxsets of dvds, or as mentioned above: trilogies, quadrologies and so on). Let's start with an example:

[..]
[Alien Quadrilogy]
[Freddy Cruger Collection]
[Terminator Trilogy]
...
American Werewolf.mkv
sub is the best (now in high definition without drm!).mkv
Zickezacke-HoiHoiHoi.mkv


Ok, typical for windows: the folders at the beginning, the files after this. But this is really annoying if you have 100+ files in a folder. A better solution were the display like this:

[..]
[Alien Quadrilogy]
American Werewolf.mkv
[Freddy Cruger Collection]
sub is the best (now in high definition without drm!).mkv
[Terminator Trilogy]
Zickezacke-HoiHoiHoi.mkv
...

Is it possible to realize this sorting order without much effort or risking to break something in the npvr structure?

Thank you for reading this.

Hi UJB!

I have a question. It's not sure if the following problem ist a problem of nPVR, EWA or VLC (or in general something else), but it started to happen after upgrading nPVR and VLC.

If i select live tv, starts the streaming (after configuring/updating the settings) i launch the vlc player.

The next minutes all is fine, video will be streamed and i can watch/listen to the stream. But then, suddenly the stream interrupts. VLC is stopping the playback of the stream and it is not possible to resume this session (it's feeling like that your internetconnection is down while getting a new ip). The only way to resume watching is, that i close vlc, stop streaming and close the stream window opened by ewa. I have to start from the beginning (select channel, configure, update, launch vlc) just to watch another time, after stopping the stream.
This happens all the time. Not just with live tv. Even with recorded and archived videofiles.
The timezone, were the streaming interrupts, is variable and not fix. It happened to me 10 minutes after starting a stream... it happened after 25 minutes watching and so on.

All this started to happen after upgrading npvr to 2.03 and vlc to 1.1.7 / 1.1.8 (cache cleared).

Any idea?

Hi sub!

I am not sure if this was mentioned before, but since the first npvr version, there is a bug/problem with displaying thumbnails.


As you can see above here, there are a few empty fields. Normally there are not so much of them (in most cases 2 or 3... sometimes it will be displayed a folder icon instead the right picture -> cache problem).


Now you can see, that the picture will be displayed, if i highlight the file.


And here, this one is new since nPVR 2.03, you can see that the picture disappears after moving the selection to another video (before 2.03 the picture stayed on the display if it was onetime highlighted).

Of course i deleted the thumbnail cache a few times, but this didn't helped really. Is there a file limitation of thumbnails?


Another nice feature (more a wish) were the ability to use .png files as folder graphics (because of their transparency channel).

I just installed the new version of NPVR and I was looking at the web interface. Am I missing something? It doesn't appear that there are any streaming options available. I don't have any button that says "stream" like there was with the version of EWA that came with older versions of GB-PVR. Am I just blind? Where can I find streaming options, where you can change the settings for bitrate, encoder codec, etc? Sorry if this is already addressed somewhere. The Wiki doesn't appear to have any recent information on this and I used the site's search function but I couldn't find anything. Thanks!!

Is it possible to change subtitles position? From GBPVR was it possible to write new values to xml file. Is that somehow to change with NPVR? It is so convenient to put subtitles to letterbox area. (BSPlayer and several other media players have such opportunity).

Thank you for great program. I'm using gb-pvr and now npvr very long time.

NPVR seems great but today I found little bug. I have mp3 files in folder by albums. If I open folder and put first file to play, then it goes automatically to next file but highlighted part remains to first song and it shows all time first song name as name of currently playing song. So its playing all album normally, but visually shows only first name of album (or first song what I play).
Sorry for mu English.

Anyone got an NSIS installer script I could use as a template for my Spotify plugin installer?

I enjoy writing installers less than I like then creating skins... :eek:

I'm still sometimes getting recordings with 2.0.3 that are showing an incorrect recording length on the OSD when I play them on the PCH. I had two occurrances tonight. One was with a recording of "CSI" and the other was with a recording of "America's Next Great Restaurant".

For CSI the lengths show up as:
PCH: 01:04:10
PC: 01:02:59

For America's Next Great Restaurant:
PCH: 00:45:33
PC: 01:00:59

The attached .zip file has logs from playing each on the PC (where the time appears correctly) and the PCH (where the length is wrong). It also includes a putty.log from the PCH and the timing.info files from each of these recordings.

How do I remove a capture device from npvr that is no longer installed? I briefly had a Hauppauge PVR-500 installed, then removed it from the computer and it still shows up in npvr.
