Last week I was still using a previous version of mvpmcx on my PCH A110 and used GBPVR. On my PCH A110 I used a Webservice to call the GBPVR on my PC. In my PCH A110 there is a hard disk installed. NPVR was already working on my PC but I waited to switch over on the PCH. Last week I wanted to switch over to NPVR. I started to install mvpmcx2 3.3 with the NMT Community installer. I started to upgrade the mvpmcx to the new version but that took a very long time (30 minutes) so I had to break this upgrade off.
Then I removed mvpmcx with the NMT community installer but also this was not a success. The Web service on the PCH was gone but still I was not able to install the mvpmcx2 3.3 with the NMT Community installer. So on this moment nothing is working and I miss the NPVR in my living room.
The next thing I started is to install mvpmcx2 3.3 with the program NMTInstall2.exe but even that is not working.
I checked the installation with the NMT Syntax checker but I don't see a reason why the web service is not installed on my PCH.
Here is the log from the NMT checker:

Just a quick note to say that no matter what you select for this, it always seems to use the "Default" renderer option in the graph.
I only noticed because I've been messing around with the Reclock stuff and a plugin that changes the audio renderer on the fly. I know there's a bunch of other stuff not yet implemented with DVD playback, so this is maybe just another item to go on that list...
for reference it could be useful to start compiling a list of capture devices that people have working with NextPVR.
At a later point this information can be moved over to the wiki. I'll use post 2 on this thread to start a list.
Please post if you have a card/device working that isn't yet listed. Please include all available information such as connection interface (PCI, PCIe, USB etc).
Please post if you see missing or incorrect details listed for a card/device you have.
For analog devices please state if it is a tuning device or a capture device. Whether it has integrated HW (Hardware) encoding or relies on SW (Software) encoding and if you required further steps to get the device working by adding/editing an entry in AnalogDevices.xml. If the latter please also give the relevant entry from your AnalogDevices.xml file.
Please also post if there is a card you have tried that doesn't work.
Hi, Just tried updating GBPVR to NPVR 2.03 tonight.
Everything went smoothly, but when it went to look for stations, it found none. This is with HD-Homerun which has been working great with GBPVR.
So, I updated the HD-Homerun software and firmware (which required .net 4 ugh) and restarted. Now I got an exception when trying to view the device config prop page (see attachment) in NPVR Setup.
Now the service won't start: "Could not start the NPVR Recording Service on Local Computer Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly.
Loge are as follows:

I ran NMTInstall2 without errors selecting everything but installing NPVR, which was already running.
I do not have simple file sharing configured though. I went to A110 and setup a manual SMB share to mvpmc with my username/password. I connect fine to share... but nothing happens. If I use the file browser, I see N-PVR.html from the NMT. If I select that file I see on the following hidef looking HTML page.
N-PVR
N-PVR via Network Browser
N-PVR via USB
If I select any one of these with the remote, nothing happens. Anything else I need to tweak on the server side to make this go? Repercussions of not using simple file sharing?

Hi, any one had a play with using a custom config for Avermedia remote for NPVR.
Looks like RemoteMapping.xml holds the details for all mappings for the avermedia remote ..
the WMC stuff is installed but doesnt do the right things for PC control required for NPVR .. I had all this remote stuff sorted with my Dvico dual 4 remote in XP, but in Win7 its a total dog of a card, and Ive gone for the Avermedia (which seems fine so far) .. TIA
Just bought one of these from ebuyer in the UK for £240 with a £100 cash back from HP if ordered before 31st March - Ridiculously cheep
I am putting in a couple of 2TB drives and maybe using unraid for a media server.
Any thoughts anyone?
Just getting to know npvr for the first time this week, on the system in my sig. I am using Nvidia's driver from 11/01/2010 ver. 8.17.11.9621 on the graphics card, Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder, "EVR" for video renderer and "Default (Recommended)" for audio renderer.
When there is a relatively static picture with only a little bit of movement on the screen, eg. a full length shot of a person and their hand moves up the screen, the object that is moving breaks up with horizontal lines. Is this what "tearing" is to any degree?
That effect is not severe, and the picture is generally quite watchable but I never saw this on my old XP/GBPVR/9600GT rig, and overall it's not as good.
When there is alot of action it seems to be worse. Does anyone have any advice?
while messing about with my 'soon to be' NextPVR server I chucked in an old Hauppauge HVR-1100 I had in a box of bits. I can't seem to get the analog input side of things to work. 'Unable to communicate with device message'. On XP. NextPVR 2.0.3 with patches.
Set to composite in WinTV7 getting video no problem.
Composite in with NextPVR message as above. I can't see that not having set a blaster yet or more than 1 channel should stop this working?
Logs attached and even though it showed in devices straight off filtercheck and analog.xml in case I messed with something .......
I am also getting the DirectX runtime not available error which I am now finding very bizzarre. This happened when I installed NextPVR on my current GB-PVR server. I put it down to bad luck and some strange kind of hardware issue somewhere. I wasn't too bothered as had always planned to build a new server. But to get this again with a clean O/S install on a completely different system (and the DX runtimes as necessary) is really perplexing. On both machines Dxdiag gives no indications of any problems AT ALL :confused:
