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)
I noticed my TV Guide had only a couple days of shows (normally 14), so I went into GBPVR Config and forced an Update EPG for one of my recording sources. While the dialog box said "Saving new listings and channel information", I got this error message:
Code:
Your EPG Source does not appear to be configured correctly. Please check the EPG Source Settings and try again. System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteException: The database disk image is malformed.

1. To which database does this refer? gbpvr.db3?
2. Is there a way to fix the database? Is there a repair solution? Will restoring a backup copy help? Must I reinstall things (ouch!)?
Any help would be appreciated. Logs are attached (I hope). It does not seem to be specific to a particular Recording Source. Moving the MovieWiz folder out of the plugin folder did not help.
History:
I've been running GBPVR v1.4.7 for months (years?) with no problems. Last week my Windows partition got partially corrupted, so I restored a disk image from October, but kept the gbpvr.db3 and config.xml files from the corrupted partition (hmm, maybe this is a huge clue?). Since restoring the Windows partition, I've also installed my sole plugin (MovieWiz v1.0.28.6), plus applied a boatload of Microsoft updates via Windows Update. I've got an HTPC cofigured as a GBPVR client, also using v1.4.7, and I also recently installed the MovieWiz plugin there, running in client mode.
Stats:
Windows XP SP3.
1x HVR1600 (analog recorder disabled), 1x HVR2200.

Hi
Not sure if anyone has this issue, the new channel 11 (dvb-t Brisbane, Aust) scans as a h.264 stream but it's really an mpeg2 stream. Live Tv just gives a black screen, but recordings can be played.
Hi,
I'm a Newbee on NPVR and I have a problem here... I searched for any similar posts but didn't find any. I cannot see any encrypted channels, although I have searched for channels with "CI Interface" option enabled. I can watch these channels in WMC, so Hardware should be OK. If I switch to an encrypted channel I get a black screen with no sound and no OSD messages. Free channels are displayed correctly. This software is so cool and so much better and faster than WMC that I would like to change, so please help!
