Any chance you can sort something to give me volume control on the MVPs too?
It's not a major issue like it was with the PCH for me but it would be a 'nice to have'.
Tonight, with npvr (dec 24th release) I tried to record a 2 hour show, and it ended up being about 6GB instead of 12GB (normal shows on this channel are about 6GB per hour), and the recording is unwatchable.
Yesterday, it worked fine, but this is a different channel.
Sorry if this is the wrong forum, the Plugin and Skins has separate Skin sub-forums but I'm not sure if they apply.
2Q's
Q1. Way back in GBPVR history there used to be a nice drop in replacement for the default blue skin2 for GBPVR which showed just channel logos in the TV Guide, i.e. No Channel Number or Channel Name, JUST the logo, which I like as it is very simple and takes less real estate.
Now that NPVR skins are appearing, what needs to be changed (or could Skin developers add a similar drop-in file or some instructions to change the code?)
Q2. Some Skins require Font downloads. Do I right-click-install these into Windows or drop them in the Skin/Fonts directory for the skin?
I just rescanned QAM with one of my 2250 tuners and added 4 more channels. Can I copy these new channels to tuner #2, or do I need to do a full rescan with #2?
Trying to get NPVR setup to migrate away from GBPVR. Have all 3 tuners setup (or at least, it should be), tried recording 3 things, and it was only recording with 1 tuner in the status. Tried to play the 1 that was recording, wouldn't play, just went back to the pending recordings screen. Tried to start cancelling the 3 recordings, got an error...and here it is:

Not sure exactly what I did wrong, but I'm having a really rough time so far trying to migrate to NPVR.
Update: just rebooted, now I can't even get into NPVR. It just crashes immediately. Now what?
Has the facility to browse the media libraries with Shortcut files been implemented?
I have a folder which contains Windows shortcuts to external drives and specific points on the hard drive, worked fine in GBPVR but the functionality doesn't seem to be in NPVR yet.
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:
