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))
I am currently using a Haupauge Nova PCI DVB-S card under GBPVR with Freesat in the UK.
I would like to shift over to nPVR and I would like to be able to record from two transponders at the same time - or watch one while recording on the other.
The machine I use as a PVR is a beefy little box with 2G of memory and 500G of disk that manages to record multiple streams via the Nova without breaking into a sweat.
However, it only has ONE conventional PCI slot - so I cannot add a second card (unless it is USB).
I have read the various threads about dual tuner cards and I am thoroughly confused.
What DUAL DVB-S or S2 tuner, PCI (*NOT* PCI-EXPRESS), cards are known to work with nPVR??
I'm sure there was a matrix of cards known to work with GBPVR - but I dont seem to be able to find it now (and I guess it may be out of date).
I started the npvr via network browser and it opens (blue background, time shown on top) but it looks like the resolution is wrong because I can't see anything on the screen besides that.
I am assuming the scroll bar with options is at the bottom of the screen but can't see it.
How do I fix it?
FYI...I checked my video output on th PCH and it is set to 1080p 60 Hz and when I ran the installer, I chose the defaults.
Also...I was playing around with it and was able to pull up the guide listings, selected a channel and was able to watch live tv.
With GBPVR, mkv files were passed through to the native NMT player from GBPVR. This functionality does not seem to work for me on NPVR. Is this a known problem? Is there something special I forgot to configure for this functionality?
I just get the buffering screen from the NMT that seems just hang.
) 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.
