Prior to 1.5.36 I could use the right click on the mouse to stop video (sometimes it would go too many clicks) but now right click opens a popup menu. On the menu I can stop by using the Menu but it drops me way out. I liked the old way, but I figure that you might add some navigation on this menu, could you add a stop in the meantime?

I would expect to see the cover art for the selected track on the music playlist popup (see attached).

So does the skin it seems:

Folks,

I've got a ethernet based NPVR (not wireless) connected to a NPVR server (1.5.36) and Martin's newest Dongle.bin.

When I select a recording or live TV for playback. the Screen goes blank and after about 30 seconds MVP reboots and returns to the NPVR Menu.

Here's the Live TV Log error :

Hi, I just installed TV Listings... pretty impressive! Nice work!

I noticed two minor skin issues, first:



Notice the start/end time (yellow text). The "M" is cut off. I noticed this only happens when the hour is double-digits for both start and end e.g. 11:00 - 12:00. 12:00 - 1:00 would not have this issue.

Next, this is probably a sub issue... but on the main menu TV Recordings the "s" flows into the selected menu item next to it:



Finally, my TVDb question: is there a way (or could a preference be added) that if you've linked a show to TheTVDb, that it's description overrides/replaces your guide's description. I find them better and more accurate. Obviously, this would have to have some logic that IF TheTVDb doesn't have a description, it would fall back to the guide's.

One of my resolutions this year is to watch at least one Doctor Who program which somehow escaped me over the years, I don't even think I have saw a part of on partly because when I was a kid I actually thought it was a medical show like Dr Kildare or Ben Casey, but I digress. Having the Netflix trial I have the following choices, does anyone have a suggestion from these?

The Tomb of the Cybermen
The Robots of Death
The Talons of Weng-Chiang
The Armageddon Factor
Earthshock

If I do like it, how important is it to watch Dr. Who episodically? I know there are three distinct series, but does it really matter a lot if I watch them randomly and out of order?

I am having a problem with some recordings when a video or audio glitch happens to be in the file. While playback after the glitch the audio is gone unless I pause then play, or do a short skip. Otherwise the audio is gone indefinitely. PCH is not able to recover unless I intervene.

I have a strong signals for channels where this happens, so I cannot pin point the root cause. It could be my tuner getting old after 5 years, or something else causing the problem.

I tried running videoredo on recordings with limited success. Sometimes videoredo will introduce a glitch by fixing something else and the problem happens with the fixed file, but not the original. Sometimes it happens with both.

This appears to be a PCH issue as the problem happens outside NPVR too. I have not found much looking for answers on the PCH forum, I thought the folks here would have better insights (especially Martin) that might help me resolve the issue.

I am considering scripting tsmuxer to remux the file into a new one, but it looks like a lot of work to do compared to videoredo. Audio is AC3 and recordings are ATSC.

Hi,

I have a usb Nova-t 70009 in my new GBPVR built box, and a second one which I can't get working (suspected hardware fault after guidance from sub).

As I'm not 100% on the hardware fault cause, can anyone reccomend a replacement alternative model for the 2nd tuner from their own experience?

Requirements are:

1. DVB-T
2. Very Cheap (thinking £30 sterling ish)
3. Known to work on GBPVR 1.4.7 and be natively detected if possible
4. USB or half height PCI bracket format.
5. Still easily available

Thanks for any pointers you can offer.

I'm having problems with my AF9015 USB tuner, as I'm eager to get NPVR going I'm thinking of getting another USB tuner (DVB-T).
Does anyone know of a USB tuner that currently works with NPVR under WinXP?
Thanks

Using NPVR 1.5.36, with the second patch in [thread=48803]this thread[/thread] that fixed skipping (although I think it happened before that patch too), When a second recording starts (using the two tuners of a HDHomeRun), about a minute into it, all recording ceases until the recording service restarts.

In the case that I'm attaching the log for, I have one recording starting at 18:30, and one starting at 19:00. Both recorded until 18:01 and then stopped (so I have a 31 minute file for the first recording and a 1 minute file for the second, both of which play fine, and are just... short).

If I restart the recording service (still during the time that both should be recording, then I get roughly an additional minute of recording before they break again. That log is also attached, although it includes at the end me actually stopping the service.

I don't see any errors in the log, it just... no longer records, and anything scheduled won't record until after I restart the service. Thank you for any help you can give.

I'm considering starting to use Comskip again, but will it take advantage of the timing.info included in recordings?
