On my system NPVR always crashes during channel scan.
System:
NPVR 1.5.36 with NPVR 1.5.36 Patches Final.zip applied
Win7 Ultimate 64bit
DVB-S Technisat Skystar2

Someone an idea?

I have just converted to NPVR from gb-pvr and I cannot get my wired mediamvp to work.

I have tested with the npvr stock dongle and I have also tried this beta mvpmc dongle which was made for npvr http://forums.gbpvr.com//showthread.php?47877

The bootp and tftp work perfectly.

The programs start to load and wireshark shows that some tcp and vnc traffic ensues.

The mvpmc dongle gives me more clues. It completes the loading process through the screen that shows http://www.mvpmc.org and the eight squares, it then starts the red progress bar, and then finally shows the "starting application..." screen. Then it restarts back to the http://www.mvpmc.org screen. If I hit the "ok" button on my remote immediately after the red progress bar, then I am put into mpvmc menu where I can see the filesystem or enter emulation mode. It is only when I enter emulation mode that this restarting occurs.

Any tips or clues are greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Don't even know if it is televised, but if it is, is anyone in a position to record the California Broncos tomorrow? We'', not so bothered about the game but daughter-in-law is singing the National Anthem. TIA

I am trying out NPVR for the first time (long-time gb-pvr user) and I am having issues getting NPVR to detect any channels with my hdhomerun tuner. I have verified that the hdhr works with a number of other apps. A log file is attached of my channel scan activities. I have checked the firewall, I am aware that it is a common issue, but it is disabled and npvr is marked to be allowed anyway.

Here is a chunk of the log file showing that npvr detected a strong signal from channel 48.

Sub or someone,

I have a problem with 1.5.36 which is consistent and repeatable, but for which I have no explanation.

I run NPVR as a window, and (until recently) it worked fine. I didn't notice this until I applied the patches for 1.5.36 the other day, so maybe it is related.

Every time I minimize the window, the picture goes away, and the TV Guide screen is all that is displayed. At that time, nothing will bring the channel back except stopping the entire program and restarting. I have tried doing a "Stop" (from the menu), but even that will not allow the channel picture to return.

And, even though the video stops, the sound continues.

If I try to select the channel - or any other channel - from the TV Guide, there is no response. It just blinks and acts like it can't connect. I did it 3 times this evening just to create the attached logs.

Also, occasionally, simply resizing the window will cause the same behavior - but NOT always.

I don't know what else to do but send you this and see if someone knows what's up.

I'd like to set the default record quality to "good."

What setting and value should I edit in the xml file???

Thanks in advance!!

Hi everyone,
I'm thinking of getting a Netbook to serve as my NPVR Server, using a Hauppage WinTV-HVR-1900 analog connection.

It will be behind a sort of closet door, connected by cable to the Airport Extreme, serving a PopcornHour A-110 with a WirelessN dongle.
I intend to use it mainly for recording, not live TV, and then serving the saved content.
It will also have to be my Squeezebox Server and UPNP Server, preferably being able to simultaneously serve 2 video streams (one from NPVR, one from UPNP) and 2 audio streams from Squeezebox.

I intend to make it go to sleep, or hibernate, as soon as it is "idle", (i.e. not serving one of those services), and WakeOnLan as soon as one of the clients needs it.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, as I am now beginning the selection and want to set it up in the next month of March.

Thanks
Pedro.

The majority of my videos are not syncing audio and video very well. Just pressing the rewind button usually takes care of that... usually... the other issue is that on some of the videos (especially noticed it on those where the audio/video are not in sync), when i press rewind or skip back, it moves forward.

I'm using the microsoft decoders and HDHomerun to record in a .ts file

Hi,

I'm using an HVR4400 and multidec. Channels start playing fine, and playback continues for anything from a few seconds to up to about 10 minutes, but invariably NPVR crashes.

This is in Win7 x64.

Any idea what could be going wrong?

Logs and crash dump file attached.

I recently rebuilt my server from scratch and initially I had no problems recording any channel but now for some reason I get zero byte recordings on a channel called GEM.

Looking at the logs I think that the signal strength is OK. Anything else I should look at?

Thanks

Greg
