Hi.
Firstly thanks for new nPVR release!
There is a problem with AR if VMR7/9 is in use, look on picture (problem was there in older nPVR too):

This one it "fast shot" from LiveTV.
It happend on all videos undepended on used decoder.

It can be "fixed" by using EVR, but that will kill DxVA on WinXP, so it is useless.
There is no such issue in GB-PVR or if i play video in Graphstudio.

BTW, "capture screenshot" will be usefull feature

Oh hi Alibert, long time not written. *buck*

After upgrading to TV Listings 3.2.1 i have a small problem while idle within the TV Listing menu: NPVR.exe just crashes after a few minutes (around 7 minutes) (nothing pressed, nothing moved, nothing opened, just idle).

This thread will contain the current version of Universe Plugin, a UPnP client for NPVR 1.5.36+

Current version 1.02 2010-12-30

To install uncompress and run the executable. It comes with only the default skin, but the skin from WebRadio will be used if found in other skins.

I am developing a linux npvr client. For playback I use mplayer using streaming from http://server:8866/stream?f=... , but I have problem with seeking the media. The source of the problem seems to be that the server does not report Accept-Ranges: bytes unless a range is specified in the http request. As a result mplayer does not recognize the stream as seekable.

For example:

wget -S .... would give you:

HTTP request sent, awaiting response...
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: N-PVR
Connection: Close
Content-Length: 1410023424
Content-Type: application/octet-stream

while wget -c -S .... on a partially downloaded file would give you.

HTTP/1.1 206 Partial Content
Server: N-PVR
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Range: bytes 14557832-1410023424/1410023424
Content-Length: 1395465593
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Connection: close

I do not know whether this is the proper behavior and mplayer is buggy or there is a bug in the NPVR server?

At the moment I solved the issue by hacking mplayer, but this does not seem a viable solution if the bug is indeed in the NPVR server.

I have just installed TV Listings 3.2 on the server in the following order:

- Disabling NRecord.exe, closing NTray.exe
- Install TV Listings 3.2
- Enabling NRecord.exe, starting NTray.exe
- Startup NPVR and go to settingsscreen
- Activate TV Listings and TV Recordings Plugin
- Shutdown NPVR.exe
- Startup NPVR and go to settingsscreen
- Configuring TV Listings 3.2 Plugin (2 Guides, 1 for analog TV, 1 for digital TV)
- Shutdown NPVR.exe
- Startup NPVR and go TV Listings 3.2

Getting this one:
"Unbehandelte Ausnahme - Der Objektverweis wurde nicht auf eine Objektinstanz festgelegt"

Hi,

I've just uploaded a new version of the TVListings plugin at the wiki.

Changelog:

Quote:- fixed a bug where the what's new list was based on universal time
- fixed a potential threading problem in recordings lists
- added combined skin parameters for recording list items representing 'selected' and 'preview image' state
- included new default skin
- added option to define the channel header type

I have a fast gaming PC in one room with DVI out and a plasma TV in the next room. What are my options for connecting them up?

Currently I'm thinking a long DVI cable and a long 3.5m stereo cable but it seems a shame to need to run 2 cables through the house every time I want to play.

Any single cable or even wireless options?

Hardware used:
Graphics card: XFX HD 5770 1GB
Motherboard: ASUS M4A77TD PRO 770 (with built-in sound)
TV: Panasonic Viera VIERA TXP42S20

Martin,

I am trying to setup the Universe plugin. When Im starting the plugin the message Discovering UPNP servers comes up for approx 10 sec and then I get am Unhandle Exception error with the message "Values does not fall wihtin the expected range". I do have Upnp activated on my Win XP and I have several Upnp servers activated including PlayOn.

Strange enough I did mangage to get it to work one time when it listed my Tversity upnp.

Attaching logs.
Thanks

Hi,

in v1.5.36, it seems that it's possible to start multiple instances of the NPVR application, even if no video is playing (and the application's title changes).

Hi,

it seems that I'm not able to set the video player's metadata with the new "PluginHelper.SetPlayerMetaData(Hashtable args)" method.

I guess that the hashtable should contain the corresponding values as used in the "Video.xml" skin ("@title", "@description" and "@coverArt"), but it does not show up in the OSD afterwards, no difference if I set the metadata before or after starting playback via "PluginHelper.PlayVideoFile(string filename)".
