Recording video clips without an EPG entry results in an empty file called "(no show details)_20101214_19302000.ts", recording with a valid EPG Entry works fine, but unfortunately for some reason not all of the channels update on N-PVR, both problems have been there in all versions including 1.5.36.
I record using a FireDTV DVB-C tuner, the problem is danish channels dr1 and dr2.
I could make some progress on playback of livetv within my lan. You've made a lot of good changes for this kind. Now let me please tell you, what i have found out. First the important things:
Server running Win7 x64 Pro. 2x HVR-2200 (analog mode only), 1x CableStar hd 2 (digital cable only). The used lan is gbit, cat6 cable. The cpu has a lot of power (i3-550), 4 gb ram and a own hdd (barracuda 7200.10) for the timeshift folder.
1st client: I'll start watching live tv. All is fine. Buffering grows and starts playback after the configured buffer. 1st avail. tuner will be used.
2nd client: I'll start watching live tv. A small stuttering happens while initializing the 2nd tuner of the 1st card. After this, all is fine. 30 minutes watching live tv on 2 clients are absolutely no problem.
3rd client: After the 3rd active watching client the problems begins. After initializing the 3rd tuner there's a heavy stuttering. After this tv will be played back. But only on 2 clients smooth! Any more then 2 clients will start a diashow of live tv. The stuttering client will NOT recover itself from stuttering. If i stop and restart this client, then another client starts to stutter.
Short: It's not possible to use more than 2 clients for live tv. The lan usage while streaming to 3 clients AND watching via UltraVNC is under 20 percent. There should be enough room left for transports. The cpu is idling, 3 gb ram are available and free for usage.
I even installed a ramdisk (1,5 gb) and used this one as timeshift buffer (perhaps the barracuda isn't performant enough): Absolutely the same.
Ok, that's one "small" problem. The bigger and more annoying bug is the logic for the tuners. I can't "zap" through the channels without getting "tuner you're used is no longer available". This happens (if i am using only 1 client) after the 2nd or 3rd zap.
Another technical bug is the low intelligence while livetv over network. NPVR should look before creating a new bufferfile. If i watch on 2, 3, 4 or more clients the same channel, then npvr should create and stream only this one. Instead npvr creates a lot of buffer files and makes a lot of useless traffic.
The rest seems to be working good. I reduced the codecs to Haali Media Splitter, ffdshow (latest built from 2012-12-26), microsoft dtv/dvd and monogram aac decoder. No asynchronous playback anymore (hurray!).
Hi. I'm just transferring my 1.4.7 from XP to Win7x64. Same hardware just dual booting. My HVR-3000 tunes DVB-S fine in Win7x64 but dvbtoxmltv doesn't run and gives the error below. Same error even if I "Run as Administrator" so I don't think its a UAC problem.
What does this error mean and what other "gotchas" are there moving to Win7x64?

Why would some of my channels be missing from NEWA TV Guide? Pending recordings include shows on the missing channels. I don't even know where to look for this, or what to provide for analysis. :confused:
Playing around with npvr (Dec 24th release), and when I set up a scan, it found the QAM channels, but it didn't have any PSIP info, so they were all unknown.
I tried with gbpvr again, and did a rescan, and it did find the PSIP info in about 1/3 of the channels.
Is this a known issue ?
Oh, is there a way to see signal strength with npvr ?
Can someone explain or point me to a thread that explains timing.info?
I keep seeing it referenced in different threads, but I can't seem to find any explanation of what it is or where it is or how do I know if I have one.
I have noticed that when I check the device status from the system tray, it does not list my HDPVR as one of the devices. It is also missing when checking the device status from right clicking on the NextPVR screen too.
Please, sir, I'm looking for tuner support. I've been running GBPVR 1.4.7 with a kworld ATSC-110 tuner card for clear QAM channels. I installed NPVR 1.5.36 and, as mentioned in "Getting Started," it recognizes only ATSC (713x BDA ATSC Tuner) and not QAM support. I attached the log files from both GB & N hoping for some help.
Also, when I ran Filter Check, it does not identify any encoder or multiplexer filters. Is this the result of the QAM support not being identified or another issue?
I have a Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1290 (Model 85xxx, Combo ATSC/QAM, SW Encode). I am trying to get the composite input working. (ATSC works fine) I get message no encoder found. I did regsvr32 "c:\program files (x86)\npvr\hcw_mcmpeg2mux.ax" but I'm thinking the analog device file may need a modification - just not sure how to do it. The attached filtercheck appears to see my tuner card as a Hauppauge WinTV 885 Video Capture card though. Any ideas?
