I'm new to this so please bear with me. I can find 3 tnt channels but all the others are missing. I can see that the 3 I have are on a different frequency to the others, so presumably I need to update the transmitter info (Niort I think) possibly in an ini file, now forgive me for asking but where is this located please?
Is anyone else having a playback problem with the show "V"? Every recording I've made of that show this year has had frequent, regular stutters and audio glitches. All other shows recorded on ABC playback fine, as do other shows recorded at the same time as "V" on other channels. I've also tried cancelling the recordings that happen at the same time as "V", to no avail.
Playback in-between the glitches is perfect, then the video will freeze for a second or so, followed after that by an audio drop-out; then all returns to normal for 10 to 15 seconds.
It seems like the problem has to be a playback issue, although the problems are the same regardless of which decoder I try, and are the same when I play the recording on two other computers.
Episodes of "V" recorded last year were all fine.
Anyone else having any problems like this with "V"?
Attached are logs that include errors scheduling recurring recordings, for example 'The Middle', 'Modern Family' and 'Better with You' have errors and they are not scheduled to record on 2/9.
I imported all of my recurring recordings from gbpvr, but I have redone almost all of them now with TVListings. It also seems like the 'record all on this channel' option is not picking up episodes outside of the original time, for example, Glee after the Superbowl Sunday night was not picked up.
Could this be TVListings not setting the recurring timeslot properly?
Sub, in a future build could the whatever key you choose to active the "hidden" menu be assigned in the base class? That way a plugin will get in by default and choose not to, rather than the other way around.
After installing the new TVListings with genre colors which needs to run xmltvextras in postupdateepg.bat, it seems that this bat is not being run after epg update. I don't think it has been running for me in nPVR at all.
Logs attached.
Logs also show an error regarding UpdateRecurringRecording() that Martin mentioned I should bring to your attention, but should probably be a separate thread.
I know I have done this before without a problem but now when I try to change the channel number for a channel it just produces a

Several DVB channels provides me with multiple audio streams and embedded subtitles in my ts recording files. How do I get to choose what audio track to use and subtitle to display.
I am mostly playing things on the PCHs and I have been able to switch audio track using the audio key on the PCH remote but no sign of subtitles.
In GBPVR I remember an option to extract the subtitle to a srt file but i cannot find that setting in NPVR? The only thing related is the config setting subtitle which I have set to swe.
Delete or ignore this post if it's blasphemous, but I have been spending some time with WMC 7 lately and there are some things I really like about it.
- Fast forward and rewind on recorded TV. It's nice to be able to fast forward as opposed to just skipping. This functioned well in GBPVR with the .dvr-ms format, but does not seem to work well with .ts recordings and is not part of the NMT extender experience.
- Movie finder. There's a Movies menu on WMC where it locates all the upcoming movies on the EPG. I'm sure there's a way to do this in NPVR or GBPVR, but I haven't figured it out yet. This feature seems really handy to me.
I would like to try the Xbox 360 as an extender to compare it to the PCH experience.
Unfortunately, the primary use of NPVR in our household is for watching recorded TV. We have had numerous issues with .ts file timelines, skipping, etc. that have just about ruined the WAF with GBPVR and NPVR. When the Mrs. saw how smoothly WMC moved through recordings she mentioned that would be nice...
To be fair, there are a number of things NPVR does better than WMC. For me, the major items are the following:
- Multi-stream recording on QAM. I would need two more tuners with WMC to be able to capture the same things that I record every Wednesday and Thursday night. This is the two-edged sword of .ts files. Cool multi-stream abilities saddled with unpredictable timelines and playback issues.
- Extender support. The PCH is a great addition to the entertainment center with its ability to play Blu-ray rips, DVD rips and interface with NPVR. From what I can gather the Xbox 360 is more limited in its abilities.
is there a way to have digital and analog channels on the same virtual channel without them appearing twice in the guide? for example, I have 2 analog tuners and 2 digital tuners--they can all tune to channel 3. is it possible for channel 3 to follow the device priority, so when i record or watch channel 3, it reflects whatever is on the first device unless that device is being used, then it moves to the next one down the list. Right now, my analog channel 3 and my digital channel 3 show up twice on the guide.
Under pvrx2, i could manually add a channel into the configuration file if a channel scan didn't pick up a particular channel. Is there a way to do that with nPVR?
Worthy of a small "woo" I guess, although I'd rather have Film4 HD
Basically negates any need to get a Freeview HD tuner now, which is good for me as my Freeview reception can fluctuate quite a bit during the year (due to trees).
