Trying the dual boot idea... was good then something went wrong not a huge biggy but I'd love it if someone could point out what happened...
I had GB-PVR 1.4.7 running well as a client (sometimes standalone for development) on my Windows 7 Laptop. UAC is set to default, and everytime I tried to open the GB-PVR config program, I was asked if it was alright to allow...
But The PVRX2.exe never asked me for admin access.... that was great because I could launch 1.4.7 with my remote from accorss the room.... great untill I installed NPVR
Now PVRX2 is asking for admin elevation
I'm not sure what NPVR did... I';m pretty sure it's not much... I have both of the services off, reboot, and then start the GB_PVR Recording service... still no dice... I'm not sure how NPVR changed GB-PVR... from what I read... it keeps to itself quite nicely...
I just installed NPVR and it seems there's no QAM support for my Kworld qam tuner. Too bad for me since I only use QAM. It's an older device, I believe the name is Kworld 340u. For what it's worth, it did work with GB PVR.
Is there any kind of custom configuration I can try, or is it just not supported at all? Thanks in advance for any help.
Oh yeah, I should include more information. Under 'device' it just says Type: ATSC, Device: BDA 2870 TVTuner, Present: Yes, Enabled: Yes, Channels: 0. When I highlight it and click Device Setup, it says "1" to the right of the device name, and then Type: ATSC, and Enabled is checked. I've heard that this "1" might stand for QAM, so that may or may not be good, but when I perform a scan with "all frequencies", it just comes up blank and nothing happens. It says scan completed and no channels have shown up or anything else. That's about it. Thanks in advance.
I'm loving having TV Listings working on NPVR but i can't get it to cancel a recurring recording in the TV Recording screen. Everytime i pull up a recurring and click cancel it still stays in the schedule and nothing happens. If i cancel the schedule through the TV Listing EPG then it works but it still appears in the recurring list until i exit and restart. If i cancel using the NPVR recording screen then everything works like it should and the entry is also removed from TV recordings.
I'm fairly new to nPVR (used GB-PVR very long but my installation began to glitch so I switched). I slowly get everything in working order.
But I still run into two problems (my apologies if they have been addressed before in this forum, but the Search function is not really that good)
1) How do I sort the main menu (including plug-ins)? The fixed order isn't that user-friendly
2) Since a few days (I don't recall it happening earlier, but it might be me), I have an extremely annoying issue with window size on starting up. When I launch nPVR it remembers it's position on-screen (for the left-top corner) but the size is set to full screen. (it sounds cryptic, but on startup I always get a full-screen size nPVR window of which the left-top corner is somewhere in the middle of my screen; with the bottom and right parts of the window being outside the desktop)
When the name of the program is change, the recurring recording runs wrong.
For example, I want to record every day at timeslot 8:00 to 10:00 a series film "Mystery Woman"
But in TV-Guide EPG, when the name change every day buy adding the number like "Mystery Woman (01)" or "Mystery Woman (02)" ... then NPVR doesn't record it.
Had a check through the forums and couldn't find anyone else with this issue.
Have updated to nPVR 1.5.33 from GPVR due to a system crash and I am having some trouble bringing in my old recordings. If I do a Recordings import, the config program reports about the right number of programs imported. However, on checking the "Ready Recordings" tab in nPVR, I only have a small number of them listed.
Having checked the Import XML, I'm pretty sure that the .TS recordings are coming in OK, its the recordings that were recorded in .MPG that do not show. The drive letters and recordings themselves have not changed in any way.
I have checked the configuration XML and logs for any ideas, but have come up dry. Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong here?
Please find attached my logs, showing the import, and a copy of the Recordings dump XML that I am trying to import.
I haven't posted here in ages, mainly because things have been working so well i didn't need to
I made the switch to NPVR a few weeks ago and i'm managing to work around a couple of niggles such as not being returned back to the correct program in the recordings screen and no delete confirmation (both of which i know will be fixed at some point) but there's one thing i just don't like/can't get used to....
In the whole scale of things this might seem a little petty and to be honest i feel a little silly bringing it up but it's one of those little niggles that won't go away in our house lol
The new placement of the resume button feels much more awkward to me. Resuming a recording is the single most common funtion i use and i thought the GBPVR prompt was a far better way of handling this. I understand getting the popup option back might be asking a little much (or maybe not ) but i think when resume is available it should be made the default action and be top of the button list. When not needed, it should remain in place but be greyed out. The way it's handled at the momenet just feels a bit clunky.
Is there anything i can do with the skins to change the placement of the buttons?
Regardless of this, thanks for dragging GBPVR into the next generation. NPVR is a great base to build on. There's a lot to like and i can't wait for future developments.
Today I came home to find 4 shows in "recording" status even though it was way past the time of the recordings. I left that screen and came back, and then all 4 showed as failed - recording service was not running at the time, or whatever it says.
I noticed also that quite a few recordings before these, are a couple minutes long. Can someone look at my logs and tell me what the problem is?
This problem starts at 2010-11-21 19:59:02.220 in the logs.
Just installed NPVR on my Windows 7 PC to use with my PCH A-110 and it seems to be functional but I have a few questions.
#1 How do you make it so the html file works thru a share? I tried creating the share and left the share name blank when creating it but it still doesn't work. I load the html file, choose npvr via browser and it says request cannot be processed. If you browse to the share manually, it works fine.
#2 How do you schedule the EPG update automatically? I created the script UpdateEPG.bat and put in the necessary commands. If I click on the update epg in the GUI, it works but not sure if it will update automatically and at what time.
#3 How do you load some sort of skin for the videos? I want something similar to YAMJ that has posters and video info.
#4 How do you remove the commercials from the recordings? I used to do this using mythtv (had to flag the commercials and transcode it to a new file without the commercials) but not sure how to do it with this software. Is it difficult to set up?
#5 How do you make it so NPVR client loads automatically on the PCH?
Line 301: XmlNode EPGHour = SettingsHelper.GetInstance().GetSettingsNode("/Settings/General/EPGUpdateHour");
Line 302: Logger.Info("Checking if it is at least one hour past the EPG update for today.... ");
Line 303: if (DateTime.Now.Hour + 1 > Convert.ToInt32(EPGHour.InnerText))
Line 304: {
Line 305: Logger.Info("It is greater than one hour since todays EPG update.... ");
I had fixed but forgot to tell you by using
Code:
if (EPGHour.InnerText != "None" && DateTime.Now.Hour + 1 > Convert.ToInt32(EPGHour.InnerText))
) but i think when resume is available it should be made the default action and be top of the button list. When not needed, it should remain in place but be greyed out. The way it's handled at the momenet just feels a bit clunky.
