I have a number of Manually scheduled recordings. When my computer automatically changed the clock for daylight savings time, these scheduled recordings changed, as if they were internally based on GMT or some other standard that does not observe daylight savings. Of course, the local TV stations do observe daylight savings, so the scheduled records were all wrong. This was true even after completely powering down the computer then restarting, so it seems something wrong with the way that the schedules are stored and not limited to the instance of nPVR that was running during the daylight savings change.
It wasn't all that big a deal to correct my schedules; fortunately I noticed it before any recording was affected. Just thought that you would want to know about this.
How do I completely remove (un-install) the Weather plugin?
I have found Un-installation for the Volume OSD at http://www.nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php?....VolumeOSD, but it is specific to directories containing the word "Volume". The Weather plugin installation seems to be much more extensive and gets into into .xml files for skins such as the Main Menu.
If nothing else, perhaps someone can give the names of top-level directories to do a text search for the word "Weather" to limit my search effort. I can then post my results for others to use if there is no clean un-install process for this plugin developed yet.
I have just installed the latest Nextpvr and am trying to set up TV/Radio icons. All but 5*(Star) show up ok. In another pvr program it is suggested to use an underscore in place of the not permitted * symbol for the icon name. I have tried all the combinations that I can think of but alas no visible icon so far. As no one appears to have reported this problem it must be my error. Can anyone help please?
$30 for 7 Pro Upgrade (was $65 -- it drops to $30 periodically, but I waited for a pretty long time for the drop), XP is included in the upgrade path. You need an .edu email address to qualify, they could ask for more proof of enrollment down the line, but I don't think they usually do, FWIW. Hope that helps someone.
Still haven't decided what to do with it. I hate to install the x86 version while I wait for my plextor tv402u to die or for analog cable to die and then have to start with a clean slate upgrading to x64. If I really had cash to burn, I'd grab another hard drive (to make up for losing hardware divx encoding), another 2250 and ditch the card, problem solved, but I don't really have cash to burn. Might not have money I can put towards upgrades for a few years. I'll at least start dual booting sometime, play with it so that when I'm no longer anchored down it'll be ready and waiting for me.
While recording timeline is fine till its gets to about half way then it goes to 00:00 and you cant fast forward , but keeps playing fine.
So you just have to watch adds till the end.
Then the recording finishes and today on the server the recording plays fine all the way through time line shows right for whole file
Open up the same file now on client and the time line still goes to 00:00 at about half way
Why?
Where do i start looking ?
Only does it on a few recordings each week (no pattern yet that i can see)
Windows media player and vlc both play file fine(not sure if that means jack shit these days)
Loading of TVListings has been getting slower for me, now takes about 15 seconds for listings to appear. Could be due to the size of my tvlistings.db3 which has grown to >100 MB, due to more than 3 million entries under category_mapping.
Should this be the case or can these be purged to reduce the size?
I'm using an EEE 701 as my media center pc (don't laugh) and gb-pvr does everything but it can't record or play HD tv channels from my DVB tuner without freezing and stuttering. VLC can. Ideally, I would like to add buttons to the tv guide pop up menu to watch and/or record using VLC, but I think the TV guides section is closed source so I can't do it myself. Is that correct? I don't think this would be difficult to implement. There are plenty of examples for how to command VLC to do these tasks, so it would just be a matter of extracting the information from the gb-pvr database and passing it on to VLC. This would be advantageous for all users of gb-pvr because using VLC would mean that no codecs would need to be installed and configured.
Guys, please forgive the raw newb question, but I just installed NPVR v2.0.3 and am trying to use it with my HD Homerun tuner. The instructions say "visit the devices tab", but nothing is shown there (not even an ethernet listener that could be manually configured with the HDHR IP address). The forums talk about an HDHR plugin and problems with current silicondust drivers, but the NPVR plugins page has 11 plugins listed (from Programs to WebRadio) not including anything that looks related to HDHR.
FAQ and Hardware/Tuner pages are still under construction, and the Settings/Plugins checkbox page doesn't have HDHR, so I'm lost.
