9/22/2014 *** Schedules Direct Utilities will no longer work with the move of source data to JSON based API. I am not sure if I will remediate the utility to work with the JSON API or not. ***


SchedulesDirect Utilities has been updated.

This utility now provides extended EPG data to EWA(GBPVR) and NEWA (NPVR) users that utilize SchedulesDirect EPG data.

NPVR Users will need the attached NEWA patch & NPVR patch to re-enable the feature within NEWA until the next NPVR release.

This release has the following changes:

• Utility now supports both EWA for GBPVR and NEWA for NPVR.
  

A lot of people seems to have problems with their multicore cpus under windows 7 x64 if they try to get advantage of the "real" S3 mode.
Many systems just go only in ACPI S1 mode (easy to recognize: the fans inside the pc are running).
But these systems hadn't (as example) absolutely no problem with this under windows vista x64 or even windows 7 x86. This seems to be a bug inside windows 7 x64.

If you're looking for solutions, or help, then you'll see just a bunch of useless informations. "Install mce standby tool*!" (*replace this piece of software with any other 'solution'). But this is no "solution". It's not even a workaround.

So, if you are searching more, then 'perhaps' you'll find the information of a existing 'hotfix' for windows 7 x64. The hotfix is known under the name 'Windows6.1-KB977307-x64'. You can get it here.

Yeah, one of my systems had this problem. I have just found the (working) solution. Over 17 weeks i searched for the solution. Played around with 'powercfg -energy', tested different firmwares and a lot of different bios settings.

Finally... peace... S3 is working well. I am happy. Hopefully this information can help one or two people with the same problems...

I was using an MVP with GBPVR until I got a PCH-110 in August. I started using that with GBPVR until I upgraded to NPVR in mid-December. That was working fine until I upgraded to 1.5.36. I had problems with my analog tuners with Sub fixed in a recent patch. Trying to get it working, I uninstalled & installed & went back & forth between 1.5.33 & 1.5.36. Now, I can't get the PCH to connect to NPVR. I am not sure when it stopped working. All I know is that it did work with 1.5.33 & now it doesn't work with 1.5.36. I tested to see if it would still connect with GBPVR & it does. I use a USB stick & I have it automatically start the emulation since I only use it with GBPVR/NPVR. When I try to connect, it displays the screen that says it will load automatically unless I hit ENTER & after the indicated seconds it attemps to bring up the interface. It never succeeds & keeps retrying.

This is my output from NMT Syntax Checker:

I have run into a weird issue with one of my a-100 PCHs. I am at a loss as to whether this is a software or a hardware issue. It stopped being able to play any audio streams (music or video) other than DTS and AC3 pass through including mp3. However the same files will play fine through the NMT interface (I tested the mp3 ones) :confused:

I have another A-100 with the same latest firmware without the issue. They are identical in their setup.

I posted this to the PCH forum but it got buried among other similar complaints.

I wish there was a "NMT Tray Icon" plugin for nPVR with similar function as the MVPTrayIcon for GBPVR. Having now switched to nPVR, I miss being able to see the status of the NMTs.

Also miss the nPVR tray icon indicating the recording status.

Hello

Somebody knows if SS2Recorder plug-in works with npvr?

Thank you

I'm in the middle of replacing some of my HTPC's bits and bobs, and figured it was as good a time as any to move from XP to Windows 7 while I was at it. But - and it's a very subtle but - the video quality I'm seeing with 7/EVR is not as good as XP/VMR9.

With MPEG2 I'd say they're identical, and probably with 720p AVC too, but the 1080i HD broadcast material (mainly BBC stuff) isn't. Even the wife agrees, and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not :eek:

DXVA should be happening in all cases yes (XP and 7)? The same decoder is in use (PDVD7), although I've tried the MS one too. I've even chucked the same video card in (an ATI HD4550) so it can't be that. I know 7/VMR9 won't give DXVA with AVC content, so I've tried that with software decoding, and to be honest, I'm not even convinced 7/EVR was better than that! Should I have aero on or off for the best EVR performance?

I think all I'm after is confirmation that 7/EVR should be as good as, if not better than, XP/VMR9. If so, I'll persevere and try to get to the bottom of it.

(This is all with GBPVR by the way; not NPVR, although I'd assume it shouldn't really matter).

For a while, now, many of my listings blocks have contained the "Update UltraXMLTV" message, so I finally loaded it and upgraded when prompted. Now, when I update the EPG in PVRX2, UltraXMLTV hangs and does not complete.

Naturally, I would like to fix this and would appreciate any advice as to how.

I know my base script worked but adding the mounting of DVD share seems to have broken my setup can anyone suggest where I have gone wrong?

The server share is \\w2k8r2\dvd
It uses username and password for access rather than guest.

I have created a native media share on the PCH and can play the DVDs without a problem. The DVDs are backed up as vob structure i.e:

D:\Video_Iso\DVDTitle\Video_TS\multiple-files.vob

Hey,

First a big thx to pBS for all testing, especially involving the LCDSmartie, LiveTV and Recording section.

This it the plug-in for handling LCD and VFD Displays.
It supports LCDSmartie (up to 4 Rows!, via registry) and iMON VFD & LCD displays Natively.
Configuration is done via an easy to read xml file.

Alternatively you could use the new External Display release for nPvr which Raply provided here.

Functions:
- Fully Custom Configurable Output for LCDsmartie depending on your need.
- Configurable date & time format.
- When using LCDsmartie, it is possible to show recording information even when nPvr is shutdown.

- iMON LCD display is used to the max:
- - Autodetection of codec used in music files
- - Progressdetection of currently played file.
- - Multiple configurations possible for spinning DiscIcon.
- - Default plugins are supported as well as WebRadio, RSSReader and Weather for controlling the menu-icons
- - Autodetect of Speakerconfiguration (7.1, 5.1, Quadro, Stereo)
- - Autodetection and display of volumechange

Requirements:
- nPvr (any release should do the trick)
- .NET 3.5 Framework.
- To support the iMON displays natively, iMON 7.91.0929 Beta version or later version
- Win Vista or up to make use of the Speakerconfiguration- and VolumChangedetection

LCDSmartie Config:

pBS Wrote:Here's a basic smartie setup for a 2x16 display with desktop display driver selected..
Just unzip it somewhere and run LCDSmartie.exe
User must select their own lcd driver type..then should be good to go...

The ini files are setup for a win7/vista machine, users must edit sqlite*.ini files in plugins dir for xp..[example given inside]

To get Next: for suspend msg, just run Lcdoff.exe in smartie dir when suspending, and restart smartie when coming back from suspend...
i use IRSS for remote, and it has events for suspend,etc and it works well for me because it's a service so can make windows wait for execution...

i had to remove the smartie rss .dll's to make it small enough to upload..[libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll] and sg_vfd.dll tho users should have that one already..
let me know if any problems..
