Hi,

I'm facing the same problem as described here - this time on NPVR/Windows 7.

Quote:The TV listings are off by 1 hour. Located in Canada which just had the new, 3 week earlier, "Daylight Savings Time" come into effect. The computers clock managed to adjust automatically but not GBPVR.

Solution:
Update http://support.microsoft.com/gp/cp_dst and empty the EPG in the GBPVR config utility. MS supports Win2000 to Vista. A reboot is not required.
Workarounds include hacking your timezone or waiting 3 weeks.
The issue may arise again should the USA decide the new DST is useless. Personally, I hate the changes.

Would there be any way to set an "anchor" for a channel so you can come back to it easily without having to remember what number it is. I know it sounds stupid, but sometimes when I'm channel surfing, I'll start watching something that is interesting till a commercial comes on. Then, I start channel flipping again & since I hadn't planned to watch that show I won't remember what it was or what channel. This happens to my wife more than me, but I still think it would be nice.

I figure there would be three ways to do this:
1 - if I watch a channel for more than say 10 minutes, it automatically becomes my "anchor" channel & I can use some key to get back to it.
2 - If I do some key, my current channel becomes my "anchor" channel & I can use some key to get back to it.
3 - If I do some key, a timer gets started & the current channel is set as an "anchor". When the time is up I am automatically returned to my "anchor" channel.

Would anybody else find this useful?

I now have Universe giving us (with thanks from Lucille84) PlayOn/Netflix/Hulu/etc on our eGreat M34A clients - thanks completely to Martin's unselfish support in resolving various issues. This has completely tranformed our TV viewing -- thanks ever so much for this great plugin.

Occassionally I attempt to access PlayOn via Universe on the nPVR PC but no joy. It gives "Waiting" message, then "Buffered nnnn" message, then reverts back to menu.

Is Universe/PlayOn intended to be usable on the PC as well as the NMT?

Thanks,

I had GBpvr but my HD ended up failing so I am trying again with Npvr. I have most of it set up. I have Windows XP, I am using WinTV HVR-1600. I have Installed WinTV7 and it works just fine, good video and audio. I just can't seem to get it to connect with Npvr. When I try Live TV in Npvr I just get a black screen, with no sound.

I am using analog and have set up the EPG and imported it using 'device setup' with Type: Analog ; Device: Hauppauge WinTV 418 Video Capture ; Channels:158

I hope I attached the right info, I attached a zip of my logs file. I have been scouring the Wiki and Forum and I am sure I just looked over something. So,any help or just a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Martin,

Raising an old issue again:

Is it possible to add a panorama / wide zoom mode to mvpmcx2? (panorama mode = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widescreen_..._Zoom_mode)

Thanks in advance!

Still trying to migrate to NPVR from GBPVR.

The recording spits out a .ts file format. That's different from GBPVR, doesn't bother me.
I had comskip finally working okay in GBPVR.
Moving same to NPVR, cuttermaran (1.70) fails saying "can't open audio <filename>.mp2 Unknown format."

I have comskip.ini set to output_cuttermaran=1 and output_demux=1, and hence don't call bbdmux. I recall there was a reason for that in my old GBPVR setup.

I've not tried debugging myself.

Is this a unique to me thing?

Hi,

I'm a little unclear about how to get NPVR video library to display metadata and cover art for my films. I have a couple of questions:

1 - The wiki suggests that metadata can be read from a [filename].xml file, or from mymovies.xml. Can the mymovies.xml file contain data about more than one film by referencing the filename somehow, or is this only useful for folders with 1 file in them?

2 - I see that the simplest way to get coverart and metadata is to have one xml file and one image file for each video file. I have one folder with hundreds of films in and adding 2 more files for each one into this folder seems very messy to me. Is there any way to have NPVR look for the data in another location? This could be a subfolder of the video folder, or another location entirely.

Hi guys,

I was toying around in the backgrounds images and was triing to make my own. I had cut an image for 16:9 aspect and wanted to make the same one for 4:3. For some reason, the Window (not in fullscreen) does not change aspect when I change it in settings (general).
I just applied the System Plugin last night, hope it did not break the "TV Shape" aspect changing.

I welcome your input

Claude

Edit: Should have specified that I am running 1.5.36+patchs System 0.10.12.24

I have a 1920x1080 display, pixel mapped 1:1 with zero overscan using the catalyst control panel. That's great for blu-rays.

With GBPVR and VMR9 the following config.xml settings exist by default:

Once again, after some beta testing I put my fresh image back on and I'm having trouble with NPVR on the NMT. I was able to get NPVR to pop up once and again but no live tv. Now, nothing. The only difference is I removed GBVR entirely.

I highlighted the error and am uncertain as to exactly what this means. Firewall is fine as far as I can tell. I'm not using any internet or network blocker.

Finally, when I go to the NMT, even after removing GBPVR, I still see a choice for both GBPVR and NPRV. Exactly what file is it I have to edit to remove this?
Thanks
