Hello

I have just tried NPVR 1.5.33 and the first thing that strikes me is that the overlay render does not work in this version, even if it has been set in the settings and i can see that the configuration file (config.xml) has it right:
<Renderers>
<VideoRenderer>Overlay</VideoRenderer>
<AudioRenderer>Realtek HDA HDMI Out</AudioRenderer>
</Renderers>


Then the log file states that it is trying the EVR render:
2010-11-18 21:18:47.187 [DEBUG][1] Graph filter list:
2010-11-18 21:18:47.203 [DEBUG][1] - Realtek HDA HDMI Out
2010-11-18 21:18:47.203 [DEBUG][1] - EVR Renderer
2010-11-18 21:18:47.203 [DEBUG][1] - ffdshow Audio Decoder
2010-11-18 21:18:47.203 [DEBUG][1] - MPC - Video decoder


that can't be right?

This is a critical issue for me because i loose hardware accelerated output, and the result is a stuttering movie.

In GBPVR it's working fine.

Hi,

I just got a slew of mkv movies and I would like to be able to access the embedded subtitles and audio tracks in GBPVR. Can anyone help get that working? Also, it would be required to switch them using the remote or else all else is moot.

I've got it working using MPC-HC through My Videos but i'd like to have it native in GBPVR.

Thanks.

Hi

I have installed SAF 5, and now i cannot play back M4V files. It just blinks and returns to nPvr menu. It plays fine in windows media player.

I have tried to add M4V ext in ffdshow MP4-profile but it doesn't work. Any ideas?

So the other day, I thought I'd take a foray into MythTV. I did a little reading and found that I could forget about getting any real use out of my ATI video card. Right-O, I buy an nVidia for just over $100. OK, now I'm sure my garden variety Azurewave (Twinhan) AD-SP200 DVB-S cards will be supported, after all they're common as mud - WRONG! OK, how about my two USB DVB-S units - NOPE, in fact only two or three of all the USB DVB interfaces ever made are supported in Linux... By the time I realised I'd need to drop another couple of hundred bucks on a pair of Linux supported DVB cards, I gave up.

I thought after all this time, the driver support in Linux would be pretty good. The truth is there is a mountain of hardware out there either not supported, or only partially supported.

Sure, I guess if I had started out with the intention of building a MythTV box before I had bought any hardware, I could have done my research and chosen hardware carefully. The real "Myth" is that you can use any old hardware to build a linux box and use it for MythTV. As an example, none of the hardware video enhancements are available to me if I choose to use my recent ATI card, and it's not even clear it it will use all the GPU horsepower to off-load video rendering.

Every couple of years I have a crack at Linux, find it absolutely useless for anything more than web browsing, and un-install. Sure, it can be useful as a back-end server, but as a desktop OS, it's still a waste of perfectly good PC hardware.

I tried to record my favorite TV show and also watch it at the same time. After the show finishes, I replay the recorded file and nothing is done by NPVR. Is it posible to config to record by NPVR while still watch live-tv?
Thanks!

Hello

I have been using GBPVR (1.4.7) for a few months now and am, overall, very happy with it. However, every once in a while, my recording will appear on the disc as zero bytes. It happened today to all of my daily recordings. Is there a way to figure out what has gone wrong?

I have attached the logs.

Also, I have been trying to figure out how to program recurring recordings. I don't seem to have that option in my software.

Thank you

Brian

When my code is running as the default screensaver, I have a completely black screen to work with. But if I start it from the Main Menu, the Date/Time and nowplaying info is displayed over the top.

I know this is to do with the order in which the screen elements are rendered, but is there any way to suppress or over-ride the Date/Time display field from global.xml (and the nowplaying info)?

I tried the NPVR 1.5.33 but I cannot find something relate to capture teletext like the older version GBPVR. Can someone help me? and also, I need to store in srt file in unicode or utf-8.
Thanks!

recently my recordings have been failing if uploaded a log that says something about crossbar not found thing is i dont use this pc for anythign other than gbpvr its headless so maybe an auto update caused the trouble or something got corrupt. im looking for a way to try to resolve this temporarily at least til i have time to put npvr on this pc or get new tuners but i was holding out for one of the cablecard tuners.

I use GB-PVR to record Live-TV and can capture teletext subtitle to srt file. This subtitle is in german, so some special characters like ö ä ü ß cannot displayed because the file is not stored in unicode or utf-8. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thanks!
