Just one thing that I searched for & didn't find - is there a kb shortcut that will take me back to the main menu? In other words I want the Home key to have the same function it has in GBPVR
Just what the title says, following these instructions from the wiki
"Select "Find More", and choose "TheTVDB" from the dropdown button. If a series with the programme's title could be found, the episodes are shown in the results list."
I can link every show I want, except Grey's Anatomy, for which I get no results in the search. Dunno if I can link it manually, but that would be a sweet option (I can look up the show number by going to TheTVDB and searching for it on that site)
I just upgraded to the new NPVR version. I had been monitoring the operation of NPVR and wasn't in a position to take the time to risk an upgrade from PVRX2 since it was working so well. I had used NPVR in test situations without incident.
My installation and upgrade went well for the most part. Almost everything is working fine, even Schedules Direct EPG and all my codecs. There is one small glitch. Every time I go to TV Guide to watch a program or Record a program, IRRemote tries to install. The program screen to watch a show or record it comes up behind it, so it does work. I just get a window asking me to proceed with IRRemote installation. If I do, it overwrites the irremote ini file. If I cancel, it goes back the way it was. The selection must be done by mouse. My system uses only the remote during normal operation, so this isn't something my wife wants to deal with.
What is happening to cause this? How can I fix it?
Anyone interested in picking up a pair of ATI 550 Pro tuner cards from me? Comcast finally switched all channels except for 2-15 to digital and there is not much for me to record with these. I am not sure what a fair price for these would be, so make me an offer. These will ship from Canton,Georgia 30114. I just pulled them from my DVR today.
Watching channel live from guide or from live tv, then minimize NPVR, then switch back to NPVR displays TV Guide or main menu, but live tv is still running (audio still playing) but cannot get back to the video window. Seems like a new problem with 2.0.3. Logs attached. Live TV started at 2011-03-12 14:43:00.680. I think I tried to switched back to it after minimizing at 2011-03-12 14:43:11.266.
I am attempting to run NPVR on an older machine with Windows XP:
Athlon 64 3700+
1gb ram
Geforce 4mx video card (I've also got a Radeon 9250 I've tried)
I have GBPVR working fine; I can play just about any video, including recorded .TS files full HD (1920x1080) which are recorded by NPVR on my server (use video library file share). I am currently using an older SAF 4 installation with Cyberlink codec (the one where you could drop the .AX file in C:\) for MPEG2. I'm most interested in getting MPEG2 working correctly in NPVR since thats what my recordings use.
For MPEG2, I have tried several configurations with NPVR, none of which quite work. I have tried my current setup with SAF 4; I get a black screen with audio. I have tried SAF 5 (no Cyberlink codec). With SAF 5, the video is extremely choppy and not watchable. I have tried an old NVIDIA purevideo codec that I've had success with (GBPVR) in the past. Its a little better than SAF 5, but still really choppy and not watchable.
I am playing the .TS files directly (file share, video library), not through streaming (recordings menu)
I have the latest PowerDVD and was thinking about trying to use those codecs next. Is that possible with NPVR?
I would love to go to Windows 7, but currently don't have the funds to upgrade. Also, I'm using a remote control that does not have Windows 7 drivers, so that will have to be replaced as well if I upgrade.
Can anyone help me get this machine playing my recordings with NPVR?
I'm absolutely enamored with the way that the "client" mode on NPVR is working. My wife has a habit of tying up the main HTPC machine/entertainment center with listening to NPR podcasts ("This American Life", mainly) for hours at a time - which was always a point of contention with us. I've tried to explain to her that she can listen to those anywhere via her iPod.... oh well. No more fighting that fight! I've got both my bootcamp partition on my laptop and my desktop machine configured up as NPVR clients. I'm also considering an nVidia Ion/Intel Atom nettop to put in our bedroom to do the same thing. LOVE LOVE LOVE the ease of setting up client mode.
I thought I had tried that back in the GBPVR days with less success.
Anyway, thanks for making married life better for me, sub!
If i let my client machines(2) run to the end of the file nextpvr stops responding
It never returns to recordings menu as it should
bit of a pain as i normally just leave it playing then it shuts down when file stops playing
I think the answer to my question is no, but I thought I would ask anyway.
Can NPVR play DRM content such as that downloaded by BBC iPlayer?
I want to be able to play it by just navigating to it from Video Library, rather than having to use Media Player. I know you can go the Get Iplayer route, but I do not want to strip the DRM. I just want to be able to play it from within NPVR.
Also, I suppose of interest, is whether it can play other DRM content (not just the stuff from BBC Iplayer)?
