When you do manual recordings, it seems you can't go any lower than 10 mins.
I tried, ctrl+arrow, shift+arrorw, and it made no difference, it always advanced by 10 mins.
I thought the old gbpvr allowed you to type a entry in, but that didn't work in npvr.
Is there a logical reason for this ?
Since some shows are 8-9:01, and another show starts at 9-10:01, then I would like to record 8-9:01, and then do 9:01-10:01, but it ends up being 8-9:01, 9:10-10:01 + 9 min pre-padding.
I developed a Roku channel for NPVR that allows you to watch, search and schedule recordings directly from your Roku. You won't need your NPVR machine next to your TV anymore.
Use this software at your own risk. Read readfirst.txt in the zip file
NextPVR Roku channel will ask you for the server's IP, enter the IP of the machine where you have Roku.exe running and the port you have in roku.ini file, for example:
Code:
192.168.1.55:8000
I will make a video today or tomorrow and I will link it here with instructions.
Let me know if you have any problems.
Enjoy!
PS: Thanks to pvruser for helping me getting started.
There was a big earth quake here in NZ a couple of hours ago in Christchurch. I've been watching the live unedited footage currently airing on our bigger tv channels. Scary stuff. Flattened buildings, squashed cars, a lot of people covered in blood. There must be alot of people dead.
I watched some very lucky woman being rescued off the roof of a 6 - 8 story building that had pancaked down to the height of a 2 or 3 story building.
Hi all. I've been using NPVR for some time now, but I've recently been having a problem where scheduled recordings seem start, but don't actually write to disk. I've attached two sample logs from this evening. The failed log shows an attempt to start recording on 02/21 18:59:00. I was watching the .ts files on disk and noticed they were not growing in size, so I restarted the recording service from the NPVR tray. The second log is from the restart, which successfully recorded at 02/21 19:00:04. I was surprise to see that the two log entries are quite different. The failed session has a "Starting graph..." entry as the third line, and the successful session has "Creating BDA graph". There are quite a few difference in the subsequent log entries as well. Much earlier in the failed recording log (prior day), there was a successful recording 02/20 14:32:40.245 which matches with the successful restart entries. It almost seems it's losing track of the tuner status or forgetting to tune the channels. Any help or fix possible for this?
Sub added support for the Dvico QAM device in a much earlier release of NPVR, and this is all running on Windows 7 home premium. I think I'm up to date on all the patches.
I don't know if it is possible but I'd like to see more options for configuring tuner priorities and also channels on a tuner as HD/SD
For my local broadcasts I have many options of recording or watching the same show
1 - cable SD analog tuner or OTA SD NTSC (not used dead in August)
2 - cable SD analog HDPVR
3 - cable HD analog HDPVR
4 - OTA HD ATSC
Rather than mapping these to 4 EPG channels like I do now, I like to see one EPG entry, but I'd like to be able to select recording HD or SD. I would also like to be able to set the priority for recordings based on either size or quality not just one device priority.
I could then ask for Best Quality or Lowest Size as one setting and Any Tuner, HD Tuner, SD Tuner as another option.
Here is my suggestion for the priorities
Quality order ATSC QAM-HD HDPVR-HD QAM-SD HDPVR-SD NTSC
Size order HDPVR-SD QAM-SD NTSC HDPVR-HD QAM-HD ATSC
For LiveTV, I would always like the Best Quality with a no-tuner available message bouncing me when applicable.
If i take a DVD, get the whole of the VIDEO_TS folder, put this on PVR server in video so it looks like:
:/MOVIE/VIDEO_TS
In NPVR i see a folder called "MOVIE" then inside there i see "MOVIE dvd", when i select this on the PC it plays, everything is happy.
Same menu structure on MVP however it doesnt play (no screen either, just doesnt do anything when selecting "MOVIE dvd"... any settings i am missing (first time ive tried this).
So, I'm just in the process of moving from gbpvr to npvr and sorting some hiccups out (somehow managed to kill my Hauppauge remote after replacing my 2x Nova 250s with one 500!). To feed the monster, I should have a new copy of Win7 Pro with me in a couple of days. In anticipation of that, are there any things I should know about using nPVR with Windows 7? Anything I should tweak regarding UAC or compatibility mode? Anything I should run as admin?
This seems like a nice idea, however as the new server is in the root of the main web server on port 8866 it can no longer be proxy to anywhere without some major MODProxy header re-writes, which are a pain and can sometimes create a nightmare with broken references in pages.
While a server sits inside a virtual container (which was gbpvr/) any proxy control was nice and easy, however while its in the root this means any proxy control breaks everything (such as the promise raid controller server, OWA, backup server) as all the above have a "virtual directory" like /owa and /promise and /myrestore.
This by design was to allow proxy control of the servers, they can all be proxy controlled from one port. However as NPVR looks for everything in the root, no matter which service i need to obtain i get a login for NPVR or file not found (as /owa is not in the NPVR virtual directory).
Is there a way of placing the NPVR webserver inside a virtual container in its own server (like it used to be with GBPVR, now this deos mean you can still redirect the root of 8866 to this container and means it can then be proxy controlled), otherwise i cant see it outside the firewall (without some header re-wrties as it wanders through the proxy server, which i can do, however is bound to break the odd page as every reference needs to be re-written before its passed to the client).
Thanks (not used the new one yet, mainly as cant see it outside of the local network )
I've been a longtime user of GB-PVR. But times are a-changing, we got fibre-to-the-home with unencrypted dvb-c, and Windows 7. :o
Had my setup with the tuners of the Hauppauge PVR-350 and PVR-150 running smoothly under Vista-32. Now I run Win7-32 (because the tuners are not supported under Win7-64).
Also got my Technotrend DVB-c card working as multidec (big pain, until you find the ffdecsa.dll posted by sub on the forum, other versions do not work).
And yesterday I had all three cards working together. But after a reboot it all broke down. :eek:
Most worrying is that suddenly the PVR-150 showed:
Code:
2011-02-21 14:44:04.756 [DEBUG][7] About to tune graph to:
<tuning>
<type>Analog</type>
<locator>
<channel>4</channel>
<country>31</country>
<input>cable</input>
<source>Composite</source>
<fixed>2</fixed>
</locator>
</tuning>
Huh? :confused: There is no source on the composite input, it was, and should be the tuner! After deleting all channels and reimporting from the EPG that is solved (hope it lasts). The PVR-150 works fine now.
Question: would be nice to be able to hard edit the config files to change composite to tuner.
But the PVR-350 seems to be lost in space. I like that card, because it gives a much better picture than the PVR-150. I ordered a second Technotrend card, and want to retire the PVR-150, and keep the PVR-350 for backup. It worked fine yesterday...
I get the same problems now as other users reported:
Yesterday it all worked, but now I tried every permutation. Only PVR-350, Technotrend with PVR-350, all three cards, etc. But now only Technotrend with PVR-150 works for the moment. Filtercheck finds both cards.
Btw, the "Enable" checkbox in the Devices setup works fine, only it does not show the state. It always shows "Enabled". If you want to disable a card: uncheck. If you want to re-enable a disabled card uncheck, and then check again. Works fine here.
Another note: some users can not get their analogue cards to work. In GB-PVR European users could use megahertz frequencies, like 176000000 . But in NPVR you have to use Microsoft's TVAutoTune registry edit for every channel. Otherwise the recording fails (without any message why). If you use the MC2XML EPG service, you may get a channel numbered 301. Make an entry under number 301 referring to the corresponding frequency. This info was not on the forum yet, so I added it here to show a) this is not a problem causing the PVR-350 to fail, and b) enabling others with Google to find it as solution to a problem I already solved.
