Having hijacked the "win 7 codecs" thread, thought I should start my own asking for help... I am going mad trying to sort something out I wonder might be an nPVR issue. Can anyone who has channels with AC3 audio and uses spdif to an external amp for AC3 decoding try this?? Watch live TV in nPVR and pause it for a few seconds. Unpause and see if it's still in sync. Pause again for a few seconds (~10 or so) and unpause... by now for me it's very obviously out of sync. If it;s not, try pausing again for longer. If I stop playback and restart (using resume) it's back in sync.

I have tried different AC3 decoders but all do the same and have concluded mpeg audio channels are fine, but AC3 ones are not. It never used to do this though which makes me wonder if the latest nPVR has caused it. I dont think I've done anything else to the machine. I've upgraded the SAF5, but have then installed AC3Filter and that does it too. So I am leaning back towards nPVR...

Hi,

I've just uploaded a new version of the TVListings plugin at the wiki.

- added option to exclude/include single character words in find more searches
- removed obsolete 'past days' config setting
- including '-' character in find more searches now
- added support for categories / genres, including display of the genre in the description, genre-based colorization of the programmes in the grid, genre-based 'find more' searches
- fixed an issue where find more results show wrong data of imported recordings
- added logic to detect renamed recording files
- added recordings panel to display upcoming recordings inside the 'now playing' area

Quote:- added automatic detection of used xmltv files from database (no commandline parameter needed anymore)
- added support for xmltv categories (genres)

Upgrading to NPVR... I can get the interface up on the PCH, but get a black screen when try to play any video. No audio either. Was working great on GBPVR. GBPVR services are disabled.

I keep getting a notice that NPVR had stopped working, and the last log entry always says:

2011-02-10 09:25:50.514 [DEBUG][7] TV Listings: TVDBCache: update due since 1/8/1970 12:00:00 AM, starting update.
2011-02-10 09:25:50.523 [INFO][9] TV Listings: TVDBCache: update thread started.
2011-02-10 09:25:50.523 [DEBUG][9] TV Listings: TVDBCache: last update time was 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM.

I saw the previous post about this problem, and that bug had been fixed, so I downloaded and installed the most recent version of TVListing plugin, but the problem still occurs, even when TVListings and TVRecordings plugins are disabled. What am I missing??

Hi all,

I've been trying for a couple of days to get LiveTV working on NPVR and I constantly get the message "Unable to locate Capture filter's Analog Video In.

The card works as I saw with WinTV 7 and BeyondTV 4 Demo. I can display and record all channels without any problem. I have read several post with similar problems but cannot find a solution.
I have applied most of the Getting Started post including Patches, VC++ Runtime, DirectX 9c, AC3Filter, RegSVR32 *.ax.

I suspect some kind of xml malformed or missing codec.

I can see the card in Settings:
Analog Hauppauge WinTV 885 Video Capture Yes Yes 55
ATSC Hauppauge WinTV 885 BDA Tuner/Demod Yes Yes 0
QAM Hauppauge WinTV 885 BDA Tuner/Demod Yes Yes 0

I have included the Logs, Filtercheck, Win-TVProdInfo and images in the hope that someone will have a hint of what is wrong.

Thank you for your help and support.

I installed Reclock and it works excellent on one of my testrigs, but not on the other and not on my main htpc. The testrig where is does not work has onboard "Realtec High Definition Audio", the htpc has a Soundblaster X-Fi. Anything I should be aware of? I'm running W7x64 on all computers. I'v also tried the various alternatives in configuration->PCM and Devices to use, with no luck.

HDHomerun and WinTV7 find a couple of channels that nPVR isn't....

More specifically:
94.8401
91.8402

attached is my lastscan.xml
..

I have an old HP media center computer with and Athlon 64 3500+, 2.2 ghz processor and 1.5gig ram. I would love to use it as a client, but the onboard graphics are lame and uses 100% processor for HD. It run XP MCE. I want this client to have internet access so a PCH is not a great solution in this case.

I am considdering throwing a cheap video card in it. Do you think something like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6814500165 would work? I only have a pcie 16 slot. I don't know if a pcie 16 2.0 card will work . Or should I scrap the idea and save for a new mother board, ram.....etc...I would just buy a new mobo and processor, but then I also have to buy win7 and things start to get really expensive. Did I say I was cheap?

I don't need awsome performance, but want trouble free playback.

Thanks for the input in advance.

I have an MCE remote and installed LMremote to remap the green button so that nextpvr.exe would launch. Works great... too great. Each time the button is pressed, a new instance and window of NPVR starts. I can see it now, the remote gets stuck in the couch with the button pressed and I wake up one morning to a bazillion instances of npvr running.
Anyone know how to keep NPVR from opening more than one instance, like a command line switch I can use?

I need to run a particular bit of code in a System Service every hour shortly after the hour (~5 mins but not too critical).

I'm doing this with a System.Timers.Timer and setting it to fire every 3600000 ms which is working but I've noticed in 12 hours, it has drifted forwards by over 1 minute (in particular between the ~4pm -> ~5pm calls)...
