GB-PVR had a great feature to catch up to live TV when timeshifting (i.e. after pausing and then resuming TV, you could use Ctrl-O to catch up to the live broadcast).
Occasionally I want to record something on PPV and therefore don't want or need npvr to change the channel for me. There would be no EPG data for this "channel" and after selecting it I just want it to start recording without changing the cable box channel. Is there a way to do this in npvr?
Also, how can I record from the front inputs of the HD-PVR? When recording from my cable box I use the component inputs but is there a way to add a channel or add a "second" device that will let me record from the HD-PVR's front composite inputs?
Every so often when I view the mini guide with live TV, the video will start stuttering like crazy in the background. Twice now it's locked up NPVR, fortunately I can still get the contextual menu to pop up and exit.
Attached are my logs. I'm up-to-date on all of the patches.
I have a Hauppauge 950Q.
Using the QAM tuner and in programming the channels some allow me to specofy
XMLTV for EPG for only some channels.
Some times on other channels I get an error message when I specify XMLTV and must default to DVB/ATSC which does not work for I do not get any programming for those channels in the TV guide.
The error message is not a NPVR error message, but a xp error message "that says an error has occurred" and I can continue (which just repeats the error) or cancel which defaults me to DVB/ASTC.
Under GPVR I used XMLTV for all channels and it worked.
Why am I getting an error?
HOw can I fix it to use XMLTV for all my channels?

I have not found any one asking if the red highlight on "scheduled" TV Listings shows should stay on top when browsing thru the listings.
The green highlight over rides the scheduled recordings and makes it look like it needs scheduled again.
well apparently Fox channels in my area [atsc] are being broadcast out of sync lately..
everything from fringe to house to human target...off about a sec per hour..
it's the files too, as i play from another machine/player[vlc] with same results...over a dozen files already..
i thought the files were drifting, but it turns out not....maybe just *looked* that way as at beginning it can make up for some sync offset, but not later in file when offset is too large....
so i looked back into using ffmpeg as a re-muxer..was using 2 ffmpeg lines to unmux then remux...worked ok but slow and didn't seem like any difference...
but files now have same offset for entire file.. progress..
then i determined needed offset [.5 sec]and looked into getting the timeline shifted..
not an easy thing....as almost every program i tried either couldn't do it, or lots of steps or wasn't accurate or needed re-encoding..
then i played more with ffmpeg and came up with this line, along with help from faq page...
It allows you to advance or delay audio w/respect to video, without re-encoding, and only 1 line ffmpeg with no temp files!
i get between 800-1500 FPS! speed too... when output dir is another drive it doubles in speed..but you'd have to copy it back anyways so not much point..
if audio is early, delay with positive number..
if audio is late, start it earlier with a negative number...
you can even re-remux file if you don't get it right first time..[tho i wouldn't advise it. try to use original file every time]
only tested with mpeg2, but should work with any containers ffmpeg supports, tho h.264 .ts may be more of a challenge..
no video/audio data is touched, just remuxed with a timestamp offset...
here's the line by itself..i'll post a batch file that takes care of the other stuff too for a complete 1 liner cmdline fixup...
the -itsoffset is the time you wish to adjust...it affects the audio portion..negative number starts audio sooner, positive starts it later..
example above adds a half second delay to audio...both original.mpg are same file or can be different files..
Are there some problems with the forum? On and off today and especially in the last few hours, it's given me database errors and even when no errors are shown, it's much slower.
For years now my two testrigs have been contributing to the SETI project (running Astropulse) when not used for testing. There are litterally millions of pc's with free capacity thet could be used by this project. Are you participating?
Edit: If your answer is no, maybe you could leave a comment about why not?
progress..
