Hi

I am working on a new install of NPVR 2.0.3 on a new install of Vista Ultimate having had a working GBPVR & NPVR Beta setup under XP.

I have 3 tuners;

1 x Hauppage Nova DT DVB-T card with 2 tuners, and
2 x Pinnacle PCTV Dual Sat Pro 4000i cards with 2 tuners each

All tuners are detected in NPVR and I had no problems tuning the DVB-T tuners.

However, when I scan the DVB-S tuners the Digital Channel Setup tuning dialog box appears and nothing else happens.

Depending upon whether I have selected 0280 Freesat only it just sits there "Scanning: 12607/V/28250/3/4 (DVB-S2)" or 0282 Astra 2 Eurobird 1 it just sits there "Scanning 10714/H/22000/0".

There are no error messages.

I then updated the device drivers on the DVB-S cards but this did not help. But now I have 2 sets of DVB-S tuners showing, one set is shown as "not present". I can change the redundant tuners to "not enabled" but cannot delete them.

NPVR shows the devices as PCTV Stargate Tuner.

I seem to recall that there was something odd about these tuners in the late GBPVR or early NPVR days when they were overrunning the input buffer but this had been fixed.

I've attached log files - Hopefully someone can help please?

Many thanks

Graham

Hi,

First of all, sorry for asking so many questions lately, and thanks for all the help.

I have a 16:9 display running at 1024x768. TV Shape is set to 16:9.

The UI takes up the whole screen, but I'm finding that all video is being incorrectly letterboxed. With AR set to auto, 16:9 content is being shown in 2.35:1, and 2.35:1 content is squashed down by a similar proportion.

I've tried different renderers and decoders and nothing seems to make any difference.

Any idea what might be going wrong?

Hi,

Playing digital radio (DVB-T) on my client PC isn't working properly. Playback starts and last for anything between about 20 seconds and maybe 2 minutes, before it just stops.

TV will play from the same tuner for hours with no problem, and the same radio station will play on the server with no problems too.

I've attached my logs, any idea what's going wrong?

Hey all, I moved a video card from my old Sony Vaio and put it into a Dell chassis. I've downloaded and installed the necessary so that the card is working, but it isn't recognized by NPVR. I checked one of the links for "analog hardware" (which I believe this is) and saw stuff to help me load Hauppauge software/drivers. I don't believe this is Hauppauge hardware (but I could be wrong) and so didn't follow the links. Help! I know the card is working because I downloaded Sage TV and it was working fine... Jeff

NPVR cannot open my TS files. Please may I have option for choosing the filter to open TS files? I want to try the media portal one. Since it is all based on direct show framework, I'm hoping it will just work.


EDIT: See post #8 for problematic sample

Hi,

Not sure if this is the right place for this or not, but deleting a channel doesn't remove the associated recordings on the channel.

This causes quite a few issues, namely, if you readd the channel with the same name, but different mapping (like when TWC changes your mappings), it gives an exception error when you try to record a show that was set to record on the first mapping.

It seems to me that deleting a channel should remove the recordings as well.

I stumbled across an issue when I'm viewing a mounted image (.iso). If you bring up the TV Guide (F1) when the video is playing and then hit the escape key, npvr will cause an unhandled exception. I do not see this issue when viewing a .mpg or .mkv.

I don't get audio playing an mp4 / m4v file... i used to have ffdshow installed with the SF5 decoders and that worked, but i've uninstalled it cause i didn't think i needed it.

this file works fine opening under vlc and windows media player. i've attached the graphedit of the file if that helps. any thoughts?

Hi,

I wish there was a behaviour in the music player that when you select a track from the main menu that is already in the playlist, that rather than add the entire album to the playlist again it just skips to the selected track.

Ok it is finally time to upgrade from GBPVR to NPVR
My AMD 3200 GBPVR machine just blew the drive controller and I cannot access my hard drives anymore. As it was running a PVR250 on XP. I believe I need to upgrade the card to work on my Windows 7 64 bit machine. (sadd day as the little 3200 ran for 5 or more years without a hicup just a new drive 2 years back>

So my question is what do you all recommend for a new card? I am still using the analog side as I don't have the digital box although I could get one I assume.
Thanks for any input.
