Anyone else noticed? For years the most users online number has remained the same at some point in the dim and distant past. It has now changed, most users ever online is now today.......
I have just tried to install my new PCTV NanoStick DVB-T2 290E card. It appeared to install very easily, so I tried recording, which appeared to work. The video file was created and I could view it using 'VLC'. (no sound yet in VLC).
When I tried to play the recording in NPVR I just got a blank screen. Thinking that it might be to do with decoder I went into 'Settings' and selected 'Decoders', it displayed the top two lines at which point NPVR crashed.
Disabling and removing the device makes no difference, it still crashes on trying to enter 'Decoders'.
I am totally new to the pvr community. So naturally, absolutely new to NPVR. I am about completed turning an ole p4, 3.0 ghz (I had stored away, I don't throw anything away so my wife says ) with a mix of some gathered parts & some new, into a "temporary" pvr/htpc. I am planning on building my 1st one from scratch, once I feel comfortable with this whole thing. I Was directed to this piece of software and hence this forum.
I have lots to learn and am willing to devote some time (although, remember I am married:p ) to reading posts & experimenting. I just need a little direction.
I downloaded & installed the 1.5.36 from johnsons post/sticky
I then downloaded & unpacked Patch Archive, v1.5.36 Final, and, fyi - I did this "After" downloading & installing the necessary/required updates as stated by johnson. eg. Visual c & direct x. also confirmed my WMP version was 9.0+
I recieve OTA broadcasts solely. I installed an old HVR-1600 tuner, running XP Pro Sp3, for now 1 hdd x 80gb, purchased 2tb will install soon - which I will be using for storage only, os will remain on 80gb.
My question: I was somewhat unclear on the instructions to load the patch file. I don't think I directed the download or install properly?
I don't think I did this properly:
Quote:Installation Notes These "patches" are simply replacement files for the existing NPVR program files. You should extract them and copy them over the existing files; the default directory is C:\Program Files\NPVR.
I personally did not direct them to install/copy "Over" any existing files. Is this done automatically? Because I did not see (maybe missed the understanding) how to do this.
Is there a way to confirm if all is installed correctly? I did find how to locate the Ver # of my npvr install & it was confirmed to be the latest. but revision was questionable. Meaning if patches installed will be a revision change?
Thanks a whole bunch!!! From what I am reading and seeing - it appears many are absolutely enamored with this piece of media management software.
I would like to be as well
I recently upgraded my TV to a nice HD model. When I switched my configuration from SD to HD, actions started showing a bit of lag between button press and something actually happening on screen.
So I'm curios if this is Server related (I'm running on a fairly old P4 3.0Ghz) or if there is something I have configured incorrectly. Here is the output of the Syntax Checker. (I don't actually use GB-PVR.html, I have index.html configured to auto load)
Yes, I am still running GBPVR, it just works so well I've been nervous to jump to NPVR.

Since I installed the âFinalâ patch at the beginning of the week most of my problems with the latest NextPVR such as occasional âFailedâ recordings have gone. However since then I have started getting a problem with new âRecurring Recordingsâ which donât set the appropriate EPG box although the bar at the top of the EPG is red. Single recordings seem to set ok. I looked under âRecurring Recordingsâ under the âRecordingsâ tab and found that the recording had been set plus several duplicates I added as it did not appear to have set the first. A reboot seemed to cure the problem so I deleted the duplicates.
However the next morning the same new âRecurring Recordingâ was again missing from the EPG although older âRecurring Recordingsâ were all correctly displayed but another reboot cured the problem. This morning I forgot to look for the problem program in the EPG but went to look at âRecurring Programmesâ as I noticed that I had scheduled a different TV programme twice. When I tried to delete one NextPVR locked up needing a reboot after which I was able to delete the duplicate schedule. As far as I can tell all the old and this one new scheduled recording took place but have had to reboot the last three mornings to cure problems with âRecurring Recordingsâ.
Should it be possible to change the âRecording Typeâ when you try to Update existing schedule under âRecurring Recordingsâ?
My plugin is split up in to a number of dlls. Unless all the files are in the Plugins\Common folder I get this error:

It never looks in the folder it found the plugin dll! I'm I doing something wrong? These extra dlls are not 'common' so shouldn't really be in the common folder.
As it looks McBainUK has started to work on a version of the Spotify plugin, MusicSpot for the NPVR.
Is there any chance you would consider implementing http audio support similar to what has been done to video. With this enabled in NPVR the MusicSpot audio stream could be streamed to the PCH/MVP directly bypassing the WebRadio plugin.
1. A last channel button on the remote
2. In the guide, to group the channels together. So for example, the HD channels would be grouped with the sister channels (4, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3)
) with a mix of some gathered parts & some new, into a "temporary" pvr/htpc. I am planning on building my 1st one from scratch, once I feel comfortable with this whole thing. I Was directed to this piece of software and hence this forum.
