I'm not sure what the problem is here, but almost every day I run into failed recordings on my HDHR. No errors appear in the log but on the recordings screen I'm presented with the following error:
*** No errors, but no data delivered. This is usually because the device failed to lock a signal.

However, if I restart the recording service the HDHR seems to work fine... I can watch live TV without issue, perform multiple recordings, whatever... the HDHR works until the next day. Incidentally my HD-PVR continues to record fine however even if the HDHR recordings are failing.

For instance last night, noticing that my two UFC recordings had failed at 6 and 7pm, I restarted the service just before 9 pm. The next two HDHR recordings, The Cape at 9 pm and another UFC at 1 am worked fine however come this morning 2 "Boy Meets World" recordings failed again with the same error. It doesn't appear to be channel related because all the channels record fine right after I restart the service. I'm actually starting to think it might be post-EPG update recordings that fail but I'm not sure.

Any thoughts? I've attached both the last two logs though since I don't see an error in there I'm not sure if they'll help.

Thanks,
Tim

Looks like they are re-arranging things again - stand by to tweak your blaster channel numbers :mad:

I've had this problem through several versions but have been getting by with restarting the machine each day.

- currently on 1.5.36, recording is reliable until after the EPG update, when recordings fail with "FindFilterByName failed to locate filter: NPVR TS Mon"

Restart the machine and al is well until the next EPG

Thanks

I hope someone can help. I am trying NPVR 1.5.36 with all the latest patches (as of 24-01-11). Everything seems OK apart from the fact that I get no control buttons - play, pause, rewind etc. The Hauppauge remote works but seems sluggish. I still have GB-PVR 1.4.7 installed and the controls are there and the remote control response is fine. I'm using the same video renderer and decoder for both (EVR and Cyberlink Power DVD 10) so am not sure what is causing the problem. I have attached my logs. Anyone any ideas?

After playing with mediaportal streaming TV for about a month and finally given up, I decided to give NPVR a go. So far I have had much more success than with mediaportal. Video quality is great from my server streaming to clients. Mediaportal was plagued with many problems including stuttering/stalling video which always forced a restart of their tv service (in another room).

I have one problem though. I cannot change channels (or sometimes navigate the guide while tv is playing) without NPVR semi-crashing. (I say semi crashing because the program itself does not crash, just the stream stalls and I get the message "The tuner being used for live tv is no longer available")

The great thing about this problem is that I can always go access the guide and start the live tv again and it starts no problem, avoiding the trip to the other room.

Setup details:

Server
Athlon 64 3200
2gb ram
ATI TV Wonder HD 750
MSI TV Anywhere Plus

Client
Athlon II X3 3ghz
4gb ram

I have tried some different decoders, problem occurs on all.

Current Decoder: V: MS A: MS

Tried: V: FFDshow, Arcsoft, Cyberlink, A: FFDshow, Arcsoft, Cyberlink, MCP

I have applied patches.

Log file attached.

Any ideas that would help remedy this?

Thank you in advance.

Hi

Has anyone used the Hauppauge MVP-HD unit with NPVR?

http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/d...vp-hd.html

http://hauppauge.lightpath.net/manuals/m...mvp-hd.pdf

Now that I've switched in to using NPVR full time, I'm starting to get issues.

I'm getting alot of failed to record (included the nrecord and npvr log files).

The last item on the log is the strangest.

It was supposed to do a recording from 5-6.

I started watching, and noticed that it hadnt stopped recording when the time was up, I think the recording service crashed about 6:30 or so, and the device list was empty until i restarted the recording service.

I have noticed a number of times, device unavailable as reasons for failed recordings.

This log is full of failed to start, error codes, exceptions and the like.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

This may seem strange, but after upgrading to 1.5.36 from 1.5.33, the quality of my analog recordings seems to have dropped (the bitrate is definitely lower). The only thing that changed, however, was the update to 1.5.36. This doesn't make sense to me, but does seem to be the case. Also, regardless of choosing <default>, <good>, <better> or <best> for the recording quality, the bitrate of the recordings seems to always be the same. I'm using Windows 7 on the PC and a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250. I can post logs if you like, but wasn't sure if recording quality bitrate was something that went into the logs. If someone needs more information, please let me know.

Thanks,

UncleJohnsBand,

If someone asked me what if anything I could ask for in EWA, this would be my wishlist in order:
1. Ability to prioritize shows
2. Way to specify only programs that EWA had not recorded previously
3. Way to search only specific days (or can you do this already?)

I would think #3 would be easy and seems like a no brainer, but if it's there already I can't figure out how. #1 and #2 would probably be somewhat more difficult I imagine, but hey, can't blame someone for asking!

Thanks for the cool web tools!

I have compared the same file
recorded on nextpvr

playback in pvrx2 smooth

playback in nextpvr jumpy (blur like frames are out of sequence)

same decoders same settings on both

file is nz dvb-s .ts

Long time since i had this old issue
where do i look for whats different?
