My cable company changed the channels of some of my stations, so I added new tuners/channel mappings in the GBPVR config while deleting my old tuners/channel maps (I read somewhere that this was safer than simply changing the mapping in the tuners you've already configured).
I noticed that a lot of my scheduled recordings had disappeared, so I checked the Season Recordings tab in EWA and found out that all my season recordings had been deleted. I had to re-enter all of them (not a big deal, I only had 20 or so) to get them back.
Is this a known issue with the Season Recordings plug-in for EWA? If you delete tuners, do the season recordings associated with the tuners automatically get deleted even if you have created new tuners? How should one go about re-mapping channels without getting their Season Recordings deleted (so I can do it properly when my cable company decided to move channels around again)?
I'm having audio problems with an HD channel (STV HD in Scotland) that uses mpeg4 video but only mp2 audio. All my other - working - HD sources have AC3 audio, and that's the only difference I can think of between them.
Basically audio in live TV is working fine, but not in playback of recordings. Loading the recorded file into GraphStudio appears to build the correct graph and the audio is there. It must be a filter/priority setting of some sort but I can't seem to work out what. I'm using ffdshow, and have tried both setting it as the audio decoder explicitly in config and leaving the setting to system default. I've also tried the PDVD decoder with the same outcome.
The attached log file hopefully shows Live TV first, followed by recorded playback.
I have started to run the PC client in non-service mode as I can see no reason to have a Nrecord process on the client. And the client seems to work fine the first time you select a live TV show. Popping back to the EPG and selecting another channel just hangs...
I actually have to restart the service on the server end, restart the client and then I can select another channel. But again selecting another channel hangs...
So, if this is because of me running N-PVR in user mode or if it is another bug I am not sure.
Anyway the server logs are attached.
EDIT: Cannot delete this thread, which I had done I if I could. It seems my crackling audio is back, even in Media Player, so not the N-PVR's fault. Something in my system is still bad. Reboot solves it for a while.
Realtek drivers did NOT solve the problem. Sorry for any confusion.
In my investigations about crackling audio on my Win7 x64 system I had the default drivers from windows update installed. These drivers are supposed to be WHQL-certified and working well. This was however not the case.
I had crackling and popping even when playing files in Media Player etc, so the issues were clearly not connected to N-PVR.
So I installed the latest Realtek drivers from ther Realtek site and those problems went away! So, the official Win7 x64 drivers which are WHQL-certified are in fact broken (as far as I can tell)! I guess this may affect Vista x64 as well. If it affects 32-bit Vista/Win7 I don't know.
I have read in other threads about audio problem, and if those users are having the same system and windows default driver I suggest trying the Realteks own latest drivers. They can be found here: http://www.realtek.com.tw/Downloads/
( I went the High Definition Audio route)
Please post your findings if it solves anything or not.
I've been checking for an update for GB for a while and found NPVR after I needed to find a solution to blasting just suddenly not working. So far so good but I'm running into two short issues the first I"m looking for answers but will take any help offered! The second I just want to put out there.
1. Blasting is not happening. I found usbuirtsend.exe looking in the NPVR section and used it in GB, it works right now almost flawlessly (I can run it while hip is running... but can from a command line)but in NPVR it won't work, logs say its sending the correct command and I can copy and paste and have it work but nothing from NPVR I'm going to run procmon next to see if USBUirtSend.exe is actually ran. Its similar to another thread I found but he had made his own program to call and blast
2. I searched and found someone with a 4 channel typing issue and their fix doesn't work for the current default skin. I found that I can type in 4 digit channels but not with the number pad! I must use the top number row. I've started and stopped the program and service a few times just to make sure it isn't me, I can't reboot right now.
The service is running as myself, I am an admin on the machine and UAC is off.
OS Vista Ultimate SP2

The new playlist feature within the music library works very good, i think. I like it. It were a very good function for the video library too, if i want to watch a few episodes of a serie.
Your corefeature of the playlist to start, where the curser stands and not at the first file is perfect for this!
I have been plagued by Nrecord crashes when recording two programmes at once for a while, and have at last manage to reliably replicate them.
Attached are four suites of logs from four separate events.
In summary what seems to happen is that if I schedule a recording which requires both tuners to be in use I get a crash
I am running a Nova-DT DVB-T card with two tuners under windows XP with an AMD Athlon 5000 dual core processor running at 2.21 ghz with 1.74 gb of RAM
I thought for while that it might be a conflict problem not handled correctly by nrecord, but i am coming to the conclusion that it is something to do with the tuner card.
Oct26Fail3.zip is the key suite of logs. The machine ran along quite happily until a second tuner was required, when recording stopped,.Up until then it was recording 'midsomer murders' and 'countdown' and then 'deal or no deal' quite happily, and simulateneously, but both on the same tuner. then' pointless' started at 4.30 which needed another frequency and everything stopped, despite what the logs say.
The logs in Oct26Fail1.zip show a case where three programmes werev scheduled - 'Aplace in the sun' from 1205 to 1310, 'GMT with..' from 12.30 and 'Due South' from 13.00. the last two mentioned were scheduled, then the machine restarted and then the first mentioned was scheduled. Despite what the logs say all recording stopped at 12.30, I got 25 minutes of the first, about 15 seconds of the second and none of the third programme.
The logs in Oct26 fail2 have two programmes . one 'Instant restaurant' was scheduled for 1415, the machine restarted then ' Lassie..' started at about 14.00.Everything stopped at about 14.20, although at the time the status showed both programmes as being recorded, one on one of the tuners the other on the other. I knew they had stopped though as the file sizes stopped incrementing. At some point after this and before 1500 the machine blue screened
The logs in CrashOct25 show a similar event. in this everything stopped at about 2100 even though the logs seem to say otherwise, and eventually the machine blue screened
And another wish from me. I have connected two different speakersystems to my mediacenter. 1x Teufel Concept E 5.1 and 1x Stereo Speakers of the connected LCD (via HDMI).
At day i am using most times the 5.1 boxes for movies. It's nice, it's clear, it's fine. But in the evening, or just to listen radio / music etc. it would be enough just to hear from the tv itself.
At the moment i have to change the renderer manual, this one is not very comfortable. I could live with it, that after "on the fly switching" i had to start the playback of any file again.
Does anyone know what the BBCi "channels" are listed as in an nPVR DVB-S scan? In the GBPVR days I used to manually add them to the scan.cache file but I cant do this anymore with npvr. It's not obvious to me what they are all showing up as in the scan - think I've managed to find about 2 of them out of 9 (is there that many? Cant remember...).
at first i removed a channel from my digital channel list (capture sources tab) and added another one instead. The channels in the channels tab did not recognize it, or better the old deleted one is still visible (the new one has been added). A selection of the button remove unreferenced channels did not remove anything.
Later in addition i removed a complete analog recording plugin, again all channels are still visible in channels tab and cannot be removed! What am i doing wrong? what do i have to do? i am using 1.4.7. on windows 7 pro 64 bit. Is it a bug?
