I have 2 lineups at Schedule direct, digital (used on another pc) and analog for my NPVR machine. When I import channels in NPVR, the listing I get is the digital one, whichever choice I make. The 2 lineups have the same name. In my schedulesdirect.xml, they are well identified with the right channels. Their names are the same, but the digital one's id has an "X" at the end.
I made the switch to NPVR yesterday, I thought all was well but this morning I fired up the PCH and went to live TV, it played about 10 seconds then jumped back to the begining...it did this about 5 times before black screening. It appears repeatable on different channels and different capture sources, though I have not investigated too much yet in case there is something obvious in the logs. (example is around 7:15 today).
Recordings play ok, and my client pc also does live tv without problem......
While I'm here is the weather pluging ok to use now...I know previously it caused issues.
I've noticed that when I mount, using Daemon Tools, an iso file through NPVR, I cannot stop playback. I can pause, fast forward, rewind, etc... but not stop. Ctrl S and Esc do not work. They work everywhere else. Only way I can stop playback is to right click the mouse and choosing "Main Menu".
I have the following recurring recording from 9:59 PM - 10:30 PM CST to record, but instead of recording M-F it actually records Sunday-Thursday. Using v1.5.36 with most recent patches.
I have two lineups: digital and analog. In my schedulesdirect.xml, they are well identified, but when I update EPG, I get my digital lineup. Did I miss some place where I can choose the appropriate lineup?
I've got a DVB-S tuner and 4 DVB-T tuners. With GBPVR I was able to tune all the channels and map them so that I was able to use the DVB-S TV Guide listings for all tuners, and each TV channel would show up only once in the TV Guide.
Now that I'm trying out NPVR I am finding that I can't seem to map it so that I only get each channel listed once in the TV Guide. For example, TV One shows up twice (once for the DVB-S and once for DVB-T). During the initial DVB-T tuner card setup it did ask if I wanted to use the same configuration/mappings as the first DVB-T tuner card I had setup, but it didn't ask this when it came to setting up the DVB-S card. I must be missing something. Anyone have any suggestions?
Haven't moved over to npvr yet - will probably do so when first full release comes out - since it will involve rebuilding my machine to Windows 7. But thought I'd put my oar in for a request.
We had in pvrx2 a played indicator on the recordings screen. Wondering if on npvr we can get the same on the video library.
And if possible to add another request of mine that the played indicator in on the filename only and not the path (SysteM.IO.Path.GetFilenameNoPath(string))
Check out how stupid I am: I've been checking http://www.gbpvr.com every so often for over a year now, and reading the new replies to the announcement thread for GBPVR 1.4.7, waiting for news about a new version. It was only when one of the posters there described 1.4.7 as outdated that I looked again at the forum front page and realised my mistake. Maybe there could be a message about the name change on http://www.gbpvr.com? Anyway I'm glad to be using NPVR. It's even better.
I have two questions and two problem reports about the user interface. (I've only tried the default skin, so far.)
How do you exit full screen mode?
Can you scroll the TV guide left and right using the mouse?
Here is a really nit-picking point: when you double-click a program in TV guide, then click record, you can change the recording type (daily, weekly, etc) by clicking two little left-right arrows. But if you click one of them twice without waiting in between then nothing happens (presumably because the two clicks are interpreted as a double click, and double clicking doesn't do anything there). So you have to do it again more slowly. This can really throw off your rhythm if you have a lot of programs to set up. If those left-right buttons could be told not to expect double clicks that would be cool.
If I open settings from the right-click menu in stay-on-top mode (Doctor, it hurts when I do this ...), the settings window comes up behind the main application window. I can't close the settings window because it's behind the main window, and I can't interact with the main window until the settings window is closed, so if I do want to interact with the main window I have to kill NPVR and start it again.
my media files are on a NAS, and I would like to enter a path (\\server\volume) instead than mappping it to a letter, as UNC paths seem to be more reliable.
Apparently the NPVR dialog for choosing media folders allows me to go only through drives mapped to letters.
