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?

Thanks for any help.

I have a Hauppauge 950Q.
I added channels to the analog device, but will not tune in.

under devices I see:

Type Device Present Enabled Channels
ATSC WinTV HVR-950 BDA Tuner Yes Yes 0
QAM WinTV HVR-950 BDA Tuner Yes Yes 78
Analog WinTV HVR-950 Capture No Yes 61

NPVR automatically finds and lists an analog device, but shows it as not present.

what does "No" under "Present" mean?
and why am I getting it?

Thanks for any help.

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...

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?

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'.

NPVR version 1.5.36 with all 37 patches

Greetings forum

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 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.
