You can download and check out. As it is if you run the VBS script it will download all freeview channels except c42 and TV3+1, since they're not on the TVNZ freeview guide as yet.
Comments or suggestions welcome. Will update further in the comming weeks.
I installed NPVR on a Win 7 system using HDHomerun dual tuner. It locks up when trying to use Live TV, and all I get is an empty TS file when trying to record. I assume that Win Media Center is not letting me use the HDHomerun tuners, although the log seems to indicate that NPVR is accessing them. Any ideas about what I missed to get the tuners to work? I can't find anywhere that HDHomerun keeps a log.
Also, does NPVR only record to a TS file? How do I convert to mpeg to play on my media player? We were using MythTV for years on my Linux computer, but my wife uses the Win 7, so we are now on Windows again, and I'm hoping that NPVR will be the replacement for MythTV, and the DVRMSToolbox takes way too long to convert recordings from Media Center format to mpeg. I'm new to this, so sorry if I'm missing something obvious..... thanks...
hen I start playing movies, I get a "pillerbox" (black frames all around) or 4:3 view (depending on movie source) and have to right click and select aspect ratio=auto. Can I set "Aspect ratio=Auto" as default somewhere?
And can I stop nextPVR from being run in more than one instance at the time, as GB-PVR.
I have a button on the remote that start NextPVR and if I press it unintentionally, I get a new instance...
I'm converting from GBPVR to NPVR and see that there are differences in the configuration module. I've installed the latest release (1.5.33) and have a few issues. For starters,
1- I can't seem to figure out where XMLTV.XML file is it suppose to be for NPVR to see it and load it?
2- where do I go in NPVR to point NPVR to where the XMLTV file is?
3- then how do you upload the EPG into NPVR?
4- and lastly, how do you map the channels to it?
Lately whenever I try to play a recording, I get this error...
"PVRX2 has encountered a user-defined breakpoint."
PVRX2 then proceeds to crash. And for some reason, all of my scheduled and recurring recordings have been cleared out. MARVELOUS!!! What happened? Log attached.
I have just done a fresh install on a brand new computer (win 7 Pro), and decided to test with NPVR. I have previously used GBPVR for many years, on an XP-system, and been very happy with it.
The problem is that I cannot get things working the way I want them to.....
Normally I would use the PC to schedule the recordings, the files end up on a fileserver, and I then watch them from different Xbox'es around the house. So - I never watch shows on the PC - i simply just schedule the recordings.
So my basic scenario:
Launch NPVR (NextPVR.exe)
Schedule a recording
Exit NPVR
Normally I would assume that the recording service running in the background would pick up the thread, and record the scheduled show, but that does not happen. As soon as I close NPVR the recording stops.
I also noticed that there is no icon present in the activity bar, after I close NPVR (reference: GBPVR changed color from white to green when active).
For testing purpose I tried to manually start NPVRServiceControl.exe and got the following:
Quote:The module "NPVRCCDump.ax" was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code
0x80070005
I thought this was an indiciation that something did not install correctly, so I tried re-installing, but it does not help.
Any ideas on what could be wrong?
Attached are logs captured during replay of the above.
Been running NPVR for a month or so and after a few issues it's running fine.
However, I've noticed a huge difference between NPVR and GBPVR in the management of recordings.
In GBPV when I clicked on the Recording tab/button it responded instantly and I got to look at what was new, planned recordings, conflicts, etc.
In NPVR it's basically the opposite. I click on Recordings and have to wait for up to a couple of minutes before anything happens. The hard disk start going like the clappers and that true for any Recording activity.
So i am looking to upgrade my graphics card on my 785g motherboard. I currently have a 65 watt processor, hard drive, dvd drive and memory, with a 270 watt power supply. What are the chances i can get something like this in my machine to function
