Here is a strange one. I did make the Direct 9 update that johnsonx42 posted about, but I doubt if that had any effect. I again emptied the EPG and reloaded it. I went into the manual recording section to schedule a recording to test my ability to cancel it once it starts. To my surprise there are no other recordings showing as scheduled, although I had several weekly recordings scheduled.
If I go to the tray and select "show status" a window opens and tells me that I do have pending recordings. But the GUI shows no pending recordings, and so no way to control them any longer.
By the way, I was able to schedule a one-time event, let it start, and then stop it in progress. At least that much worked. It never occurred to me to just hit enter while I was clicking and right clicking on the recording screen.
I was going to set this thread up as a poll but then realised users could have a LOT of different reasons that I haven't thought about to not be using NextPVR yet.
For me it is only partially correct as I am using NextPVR with an NMT for all my daytime usage, checking the weather, playing music etc. etc. etc. as all this stuff is heaps better with NextPVR, but I have not converted my main production server over yet for these reasons (in order of importance from my way of thinking):
(In brackets what I use with GB-PVR)
Too many reports of the RecordingService stopping working for a lot of users
No way to manage my disks from my chair in the sittingroom (Supersimple archiver)
No fully functional ScreenSaver plugin (MLPanel)
No advanced Music plugin (Music Library3)
No Movie plugin (MovieWizard)
No way to change recording names etc. (WizEpisode Tweaker)
Now that's interesting, that list is lot shorter than I though it was going to be & I suspect if the locking up RecordingService could be sorted out I would actually change over right now.
I have been looking around the new wiki & I will start of saying you guys are doing a great job!!
One thing I noticed is for the Keyboard Reference the Show Menu Bar (hidden menu I assume?) doesn't seem to show that from my understanding the "HOME" key should work basically everywhere but maybe a few plugins....it shouldn't be too hard to check if I'm right with this.
How do I schedule/start a recording? Let say I have the following record in PROGRAMME oid 14792. Do I just write all the infos in RECORDING_SCHEDULE?
I'm working on a Roku channel that will play all the recordings and I want to make it search programs and schedule / cancel recordings. Also, is there a way to get some gb-pvr or npvr art (images, icons, etc) to make the Roku channel looks like it belongs with GB/N-PVR?
I have set a few recordings up for time slot recording but notice its getting recordings outside the time slot.
I searched the forum on it but cant find anything
Only Just added the latest patches
Not sure where to start looking or what you need to look into it
Hi, I just got a Harmony 600 and was wondering what you guys are telling the Harmony 600 as your "GBPVR center"? I just typed in MCE and chose any MCE station I found. I also noticed that there was actually a GBPVR selection - has anyone tried that?
Also how do I tell the Harmony not to turn off the HTPC when I press the all off button or when I switch activities which don't use the HTPC?
I expect that I'm over looking something, but I have yet to find a clean simple way to stop a recording in progress. I've scheduled recording manually, usually weekly, but then something has preempted the show that I wanted to record and I just want to stop the recording in progress without removing or impacting future weekly recordigs. But I can't find any control to stop the recording, as it is going on in the background and I can't find anything on the NPVR GUI to stop it.
This isn't a major problem, I just deleted the TS file after the recording finished. But it seems like there should be some way to interact with the recording process that I'm missing.
I'm new to NPVR. Been using it for a couple of weeks now, really like it over the ATI Catalyst junk I was using with my USB ATI TV Wonder 600 tuner. I'm sure I have a lot more to learn about it, as I read the documentation I see hints of lots that I have not found but the learning curve is a bit steep for me. I'm having problems with just the basics.
So my first problem is that I can get an EPG (apparently off the air) but it is very sparsely populated and even worse, what it does get it filled in for the wrong station! I was very pleased when NPVR was able to recognize my tuner and do a channel scan, but I can't figure out how to address this so I have only been able to use the manual record mode. An example of this problem is that UNC-EX is showing a program guide, with some shows apparently correct, but it is showing NBC17 weather at 1 PM (The third channel on a different stations transmission). None of the NBC17 channels are showing any schedule, but a program that will be on the main NBC17 channel at 3 PM is showing up in the guide as being on WRAZ-H (yet another station, and the program in question will not be on that station).
I've emptied and updated the EPG in settings, but the problem persists. Under the channels setting I'm using DVB/ATSC EPG, I get errors if I try to select the other sources (and after getting the errors there are things to fill in that I don't understand). Is there something more that I could do to get a working EPG? Configuration that I may have failed to do? An on-line EPG would be great, but I could live with the over the air EPG if I had to, if only I could get it filled in accurately.
Today I discovered that shows I have scheduled with the "quick record" option disappear from the TV guide after an EPG update (after a nightly update, or even using the manual Update EPG operation in the Channels setup).
The show IS listed in the pending recordings list, it just doesn't show up in the TV guide. Because of this, I have accidentally recorded multiple copies of several shows before I discovered this problem.
Recurring shows (same day and time every week) are displayed and record fine.
The problem appears to be limited to Quick Recordings. It also appears to be caused by the EPG update, as I can schedule a recording, exit NPVR, and open it back up with the show still selected in the TV guide. When I run the EPG update, the quick recordings all disappear from the TV guide.
Can anyone else duplicate this, and if so is there a solution?
