Not sure if this is an EWA or NPVR problem but I thought I'd try here first.
Running npvr 1.5.33 on Win7 64bit. If I cancel an in progress recording from ewa, NRecord crashes. If I try streaming live TV from ewa and then stop it, NRecord crashes. Any ideas why?
If I open a file for playback there are some issues. 1st the TS files. They now open and play which is noticed and appreciated and an improvement on GBPVR which didn't know how to handle my more difficult TS files.
1) 2.2 GB TS file, MPEG2 50i, MP2 audio, subtitle track. NPVR opens and plays the file but trying to skip ahead causes it to freeze and stop playing. The numbers stop going round. NPVR doesn't crash, I can Esc to go back. Also, the audio is really badly out of sync by about a second.
2) 6.9 GB TS file, seems to be exactly the same format as above with MPEG2 video, MP2 audio, subtitle track. Try to open the file and there is a lot of HDD activity for 1 or 2 mins and then nothing happens. The screen stays black and the numbers don't go round. No crash.
3) 320 MB MKV file. MPEG2 50i, MP2 audio, subtitles. Plays after installing Haali. I can skip forward and back etc, but there is no audio. I've no idea what's up. MP2 works in file No.1 so should work here.
Just wondering if anyone could share what processes you are using to process recorded shows and to remove commercials using PostProcessing.bat on a Windows 7 x64 system.
I have a working GBPVR installation working with a Haupage Nova II viewing FreeSat -- and have just discovered NPVR. It looks very interesting :-)
1. Am I correct in assuming that NPVR is a replacement for GBPVR??
2. Will NPVR work with FreeSAT in the UK??
3. Can I still use the same source of EPG data that I used under GBPVR??
4. Can I install NPVR on the same box as GBPVR and switch back and forth for testing??
and, Is there anything to watch out for if I do this??
I am looking to migrate to NPVR from gbpvr in the near future and I have an issue with trying to play some MPG video files from NPVR. The file format is recorded MPG2 from DVB-T using the cyberlink mpg decoder.
The codec filter setup is ok as far as I can tell (i have checked the default settings in graph studio for gbpvr and default direct show) and gbpvr plays the file fine.
By looking in the logs, I suspect there is a bug in the calculation of the progress timeline at the top of the screen and the filter is returning some values for file length that NPVR was not expecting.
anybody know of a simple audio editor that can do fades/cuts, handle mp3's and is simple to use?
i have cooledit pro but it's wayy too complicated for a newbie[it's not for me]
i remember a simple editor that came with soundblaster hardware..but can't find it..
and preferably free..
And everything works fine. Vprj gets created by comskip, VideoRedoCut.vbs correctly runs videoredo.exe and everything works.
When NPVR executes my PostProcessing.bat file, comskip creates vprj file, and then I can see (through numerous wscript.echo statements) that the VideoRedoCut.vbs script bombs out when it tries to create an object in the script (line of code in that blows up :::: Set VideoReDoSilent = WScript.CreateObject( "VideoReDo.VideoReDoSilent" ).
What could be causing this and are there any solutions?
ALSO, why can I not see a command window when NPVR runs my PostProcessing.bat file? When I try to use PAUSE statements in my PostProcessing.bat to debug, I cannot see what is going on. Is NPVR hiding the command window when it runs PostProcessing.bat?
Thanks for any help....
PostProcessing.bat:
Code:
@echo off
Rem PostProcessing.bat
Rem This script will be run automatically by GBPVR when found after a recording is finished
Rem To enable it put this file inside your GBPVR default program directory (C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\)
Rem together with Comskip.exe, Comskip.ini and Comskip.dictionary
Rem The script is called with two parameters
Rem %1 is the fully qualified name of the recorded mpeg file.
Rem %2 is the channel number of the recording
echo [%date% %time%] Postprocessing.bat invoked on %1 recorded from channel %2 >>postprocessing.log
Rem The part below can be used to not run Comskip on certain channels, please modify for your conveniance.
Rem The channel numbers that should be skipped are the numbers between the double quotes ("").
Rem You can add "if" lines as much as you want
Rem To disable this behaviour use channel numbers outside the normal range, put a "rem" before the "if" or delete the "if" lines
Rem list of channels to not run comskip on
rem if "%2" == "27" goto eof
rem if "%2" == "36" goto eof
Rem this trick also makes it possible to have dedicated comskip.ini file for certain channels.
rem if the filename contains 'Football' go to the sports comskip
rem if not %1:Football == %1 echo [%date% %time%] Starting comskip using sports.ini..... >>postprocessing.log
rem if not %1:Football == %1 goto sports
C:
cd "C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Scripts\comskip"
if %2 == 6 echo [%date% %time%] Starting comskip using cbs.ini..... >>postprocessing.log
if %2 == 6 goto cbs
if %2 == 5 echo [%date% %time%] Starting comskip using abc.ini..... >>postprocessing.log
if %2 == 5 goto abc
if %2 == 11 echo [%date% %time%] Starting comskip using nbc.ini..... >>postprocessing.log
if %2 == 11 goto nbc
Rem use the default comskip.ini for all other channels
goto generic
:sports
comskip --ini=sports.ini %1
goto continue
:cbs
comskip --ini=cbs.ini %1
goto continue
:abc
comskip --ini=abc.ini %1

rem This is an example of how to reuse a previously learned logo to prevent Comskip from learning the wrong logo
comskip --ini=channel65.ini --logo=channel65.logo.txt %1
goto continue
:generic
Rem The actual run of Comskip. Only one parameter, the name of the mpeg file to process.
Rem Comskip will read its settings from the Comskip.ini found in the same directory as Comskip.exe
Rem Both are supposed to be in the GBPVR default program directory. (C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\)
