In my npvr.db3 EPG_EVENT table, the start_time (and end_time) fields are stored exactly as...

I seem to have changed something so that my old .mpg files dont play anymore. nPVR plays .ts, .flv and .dr-ms files. The .mpg files used to play and still do play on PVRX2, Media Player etc. What have I done wrong?

Hi,

Starting a recording and streaming it works great remotely through the web server interface, however, if I press "Cancel" to stop the recording prematurely NRecord.exe crashes with this in the Windows XP (32bit) Application Event log:

<BEGIN>
An unhandled exception occurred and the process was terminated.

Application ID: NRecord.exe

I'm running Windows XP Pro 32bit and I'm using a single WinTV PVR PCI II tuner card.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks,

When I play a recording from my HDVPR that I record in 720p ffdshow shows them as 1920x1080 H264. When I play them in MPC or GraphEdit they show as 1280x720 AVC1. I don't notice a difference but it seems odd.

Just got the Blackgold BGT3620 Analog/SD/HD card for use in the UK and having problems configuring it in NPVR.

1. DVB-T SD works fine out of the box
2. Analog input is found if I (correctly?) add this to the analogdevices.xml file.

<Device filter="7231 BDA Analog Capture">
<Name>Blackgold BGT3620</Name>
<Type>SOFT_ENCODE</Type>
</Device>

3. Can't find any HD channels in scanning though.

Device appears installed correctly in device manager as a "BlackGold DVB-T2/T/C Device (IR)" and using latest 8.1.0.0 drivers.

I can find HD channels fine on a Freeview HD STB connected to same aerial fly lead (at 570000kHz). I've also tried ScanChannelsBDA_UK.exe whick can lock (a good signal) at this frequency but does not find any channels (but I'm guessing it is not capable of identifying DVB-T2 channels).

I believe all DVB-T2 channels are seen as DVB-T with these cards so no separate device is required. However the devices found in NPVR are:

Analog 7231 BDA Analog capture
DVB-T 7231 BDA DVBT Tuner
DVB-T 7231 BDA DVBT Tuner (#2)
DVB-C 7231 BDA DVBC Tuner
DVB-C 7231 BDA DVBC Tuner (#2)
DVB-T 7231 BDA DVBC Tuner (MCE)
DVB-T 7231 BDA DVBC Tuner (MCE) (#2)
Only the first 2 DVB-T devices find any digital channels, no idea what the MCE ones are for.

Anybody any ideas please, I think at least one person on these forums has this card working with HD channels.

Thanks

Hi,

I'm fairly sure last night I was looking at some recordings in progress and clicked on "cancel" instead of "close". Would be nice if it asked "Are you sure you want to cancel this recording?" Would be good on active recordings if not desired on pending recordings.

Thanks

When you delete a recording it jumps back to the top of recordings
It should goto the next recording on the list.

I'd intended to post another version sooner than this but it was a bit like cleaning windows...once you start you realise another bit needs cleaning.

I've made quite a few changes to the way the nDroid client app behaves on 'first run' hopefully making it a lot smoother to install. Bear in mind this is Beta code and fairly limited so consider it for 'testing' purposes only rather than relying on guaranteed results.

NOTE: From now on, downloads will be available from the new nDroid wiki page...

After a lot of sweat, I got NPVR running. It seems to wake up and get the EPG ok and record programs.

After starting NPVR, after a certain amount of UI interaction (go to Guide, then to Live TV, then recordings etc.) the program stops working. Navigation about the main screen continues, but none of the plugins will start.

The worst sequence appears to be going to view the Guide first. This will often render it impossible to open the recordings plugin.

The weirdest part of all is that after exiting NPVR, windows is smashed. Explorer is stuck in whatever window happens to be open. For example clicking on "C" in "My computer" causes a brief flash of the contents og the C drive, and then "My computer" is displayed again, just like some kind of "back" key had been pressed just after enter. Same thing happens in Firefox; type into a google search box and the search results change; as soon as enter is pressed google goes back to its home page.

I had a hard drive crash, so a good time to start fresh with nPVR. I thought I had everything set, but I keep getting "unable to connect to recording service" error when I try to go to live tv.

When I go to setup it lists tuners "Hauppauge WinTV-7164 BDA ATSC/QAM Tuner" and when I scan it finds channels.

Is it odd that I actually have WinTV-HVR-2250?

Could that be the issue, and if so, a way to set it straight?

Thanks.
