Occassionally the PCH's screen will go Black when starting a Recording or LiveTV.
The Audio is fine and menu's are fine.
Rebooted the PCH did not fix the black screen.
I first thought selecting a different codec in Config was fixing it but now just restarting the Recording Service is bringing back the screen display.
help! every time I open the program I get the following error message:
what shall I do! any ideas? thanks!
It reads as follows:
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

I am in the process of testing NPVR to put into use full time. when i received this error. I only have 1 of my 4 tuners enabled for testing as of right now, and did a quick recording, the cancelled it and soon after tried to use live TV and received the unable to locate tuner error (or some error message like that). Any help would be appreciated, i have (I think) all pertinent patches
NPVR has icons, which is fine, however as you would rely on the text of the folder to tell you whatâs in it, its driving me nuts ot have to keep scrolling through loads of identical folder icons and read the text at the base of the screen to work out which folder i want.
I no longer use NPVR for watching video as can never find any (back to VLC), so how do i get these icons back to text, or at least a smaller icon with text next to them on the screen?
The attached "experimental" update to Web Radio adds support for QAM scanning and preview which some people have asked for, and I can understand it since it can be difficult to identify channels. Note that this uses non-supported public interfaces in NPVR which sub will not guarantee, but for now it is working quite well for me on the PC and NMT (untested on the MVP)
To use it in the NPVR Config select Web Radio and tick the QAM Tuning check box. Two menu options will appear, QAM Scan and Tune and, Last QAM scan.
When you select QAM Scan select the tuner you want and a scan will begin. It will use the .INI file that you use in NPVR or Tuning\QAM\WebRadio.ini if it exists.
While waiting for a video data, you can abort the wait (ie there is no data) with a stop. Afterwards you have the advantage of using the excellent NPVR ts player to preview the station. Because of the methods used, you can see multiple audio tracks in a stream, but it will crash if you select another one.
I use this feature to watch the OnDemand channels that might be playing in the clear that only exist for the duration of the show.
Another feature in this is that it is possible to listen to QAM radio without having database entries.
Let me know how it goes, and of course I am open to suggestions for improvements. Logs of course are required to debug problems.
At the end of the long list of messages (No devices in the list), I was able to install the "HCW_MCMPEG2MUX.AX".
Then, in order to see the TV (connected via a composite cable), I need to setup the device (add a Cannel).
BUT, When I try to add a channel I get an Unhandled Exception from NextPVR: "Key Not Found"
The JIT provides a lot of information about where exactly the problem is in the code.
I attached a zip file with two text files:
NPVR.log
NextPVR error.txt that has the text message from JIT.
Before the analog device configuration page and associated walkthrough on the wiki is updated we want to get the facts straight! Please post if anything sounds wrong
NextPVR does not support analog tuner cards such as the ATI 550 pro or the Hauppauge 150 out of the box.
In order to add support for these cards the easiest solution is to install download and install the latest version of WinTV7 from the Hauppauge support site. Note that the installer requires that you have an earlier WinTV CD available and have a supported Hauppauge device installed.
For those that don't want to install the full Hauppauge WinTV suite or have lost their original CD, NextPVR users have reported they can download the latest WinTV7 release and extract and install only the required files using the instructions below.
If you are running Windows 7 the commands will need to be run with elevated privileges (run as Admin).
Create the folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\npvr\SoftPVR".
Download WinTV7 and copy i to this new folder.
Run this bat file (once run the WinTV7 installer can be d
I currently have GBPVR set up with 3 capture cards a 2250 and 2 1600's. I am on comcast cable and use the 2250 and 1 of the 1600's to capture channels that are on clear qam. I use the analog side of the second 1600 (clear qam is poor on this card) to capture shows that are not in the clear from my cable box. I do this by setting up a manual recording on channel 3 and have channel 3 disabled on my other cards. Can I accomplish a similar setup with NPVR?
Is there something in place to prevent duplicate recordings?
And by duplicate recordings I mean one or more recordings at the exact same time of the exact same show on the same channel.
I have a couple of different recurring recordings that ends up with 2 copies of the same recording...
(And these recordings are not during the EPG update)
