Sub, what's needed to get NPVR to recognize the Hauppauge Colossus? I have it installed, drivers installed, and the ir remote is working, but no sign of the Colossus in NPVR yet. I assume I need to add an entry to AnalogDevices.xml, or add a section to config.xml.

I have had an HD-PVR running previously, so the playback stuff should be OK.

My NPVR computer will no longer sleep so I looked at the NPVR logs for clues. Looking at an old NPVR.log which started at 1900 and filled up in 4 hours with entries like the one below:-

2011-02-26 07:56:56.203 [DEBUG][1] PlaybackPositionHelper.GetLastPlaybackDate(D:\The Simpsons\The Simpsons_20110225_18001830.ts)

Every 2 minutes it was printing out over 100 items which is about the number of recordings I have. Around 20:45 it reduced the number to 19 recordings and continued at that rate until I put it into standby manually this morning. It later woke to do a recording but did not sleep afterwards and its still adding 19 items to the log every 2 mins.

I noticed that the overnight NPVR.log contained just these entries and not recordings and the EPG update. I then noticed that the NRecord logs which I have not seen used before were full. The two oldest logs filled up in 15-20 minutes and contained Client Reads from when I watched a programme via the client. In later logs are two recordings and the EPG update which took place in the middle of a recording so the EPG update details were shorter and different to the usual update. Previously recordings and EPG updates have appeared in the NPVR.log.

Hi,
While watching TV, if I press home I see the menu, but there seems to be no way to get back to watching TV. The sound continues to play, but I can't get the picture back.

Is there some way to do this? I can't see anything in the wiki keyboard reference.

If I have come from the live tv and hit the previous channel on the original channel that I pulled up then I get an unhandled exception. I noticed it when I accidentally did it this evening. I closed the program completely and reopened and from tv guide I selected a channel and hit previous channel and got the unhandled exception again. Oh and ignore my signature I downloaded npvr the other day to try out. so this is the latest version 1.5.36 with patches applied.

Anyone ever get one of these working with GBPVR? This is not the typical 45 button Hauppauge remote. It doesn't use IR32 either.

Had troubles getting my PVR350 to work under Win7. Thought it was stable, and after a reboot, bam, it tanked again.

Looks like I solved it permanently.

1. Use the latest WinTV7, which includes PVR350 (and other) drivers. Got the version 2.3b dated 17 February 2011 from http://www.hauppauge.com/site/support/su...intv7.html

2. "The PVR250 and PVR350 have single instance drivers, so its critical that you kill WinTV and/or MCE background services. These hold onto the device, and it'll get the failure you're seeing in GB-PVR."
I found it myself, but then also the quoted post from sub (he is the master ). http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...-tv-screen

So, start the Services.msc, scroll down to the HauppaugeTVServer, and set it to "Disabled". Maybe you could also use "Manual". Note that WinTV 7 will not work until you restart that service. If you also have a PVR150 in the same machine, you may be in trouble, because it requires a single start/stop of WinTV otherwise you get no sound. However, on my machine PVR150 worked "out of the box" (did not need to fiddle with HauppaugeTVServer, but needed the start/stop of WinTV). And the PVR350 never had any problems with GB-PVR (ever since 2003...), even on Win7.


Now my PVR350 also works in NPVR after reboots. Will post update if there are any problems.

This was really in the wrong forum... it's not a plug-in or skin. Moved thread to the Community Announcements.

OK, it happened again. I am getting single byte recordings on an Australian channel called GEM. Yesterday morning I retuned all channels and did a quick check - I was getting a recording on GEM.

This morning I set a manual recording on all channels and GEM has again failed with a zero byte file. I checked Live TV and I get a good picture. Just in case there was a problem with the PostProcessing script I disabled it but I still have a zero byte recording on this channel.

Any ideas?

Hello,

I don't know if I'm the only one experiencing this but here is the scenario.

After a manual scheduled recording is complete, I can go to "What's New", and the recordings are shown as "Failed" with the error message of "Recording service not running at recording time". This is incorrect as the shows were recorded correctly.

Any thoughts? I'm happy because they did record, but the conflicting error I thought I should share.

Let me know if I need to email logs.

Hi,

I've been using NPVR for a bit. Last night, I added some new channels that came through ClearQAM, and they, along with a few other old channels, no longer show up in NEWA. They show up fine in the local guide, recordings work, and if I go to "Mange Recordings" in NEWA, the shows I've set to record are there as well.

I looked in the log, and I'm getting this message. "2011-02-25 17:46:24.407 [ERROR][4] Unexpected error in EPGEvent.LoadByOID(): System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary.
at System.ThrowHelper.ThrowKeyNotFoundException()
at System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2.get_Item(TKey key)
at NUtility.EPGEvent.GetListingsForTimePeriod(DateTime startTime, DateTime endTime)"

I did delete one channel as well. Would that possibly have had something to do with it?

Thanks,
