Does anybody else have a problem with resuming a recording? Every time I try to resume a recording it starts playing nowhere near where I left off.

Edit: I forgot to mention, this is only if you exit the program and come back in.

I finally got my system set up to record HD on comcast cable, basic package, no stb. All of my HD recordings play back as a snowy black screen with noise, not audio. I can watch HD live and pause and play live HD tv, but my recordings are hosed. I don't know if the recording is bad or the playback, but it's not right. I've searched around here, but haven't found anything that helped.

Capture source is BDA recording plugin, recording source is digital recording plugin. I have tried various combinations of video renderer and decoder settings. All decoders I have are what came with the software.


My machine is XP with a radeon X1950 Pro with 512MB and the Hauppauge 1600 card. I'm using the last version of gbpvr.

Thanks

Is there any chance that this skin will/can be ported or rewritten for NPVR? I would be glad to offer myself as beta tester
My wife and I realy like this skin and its vertical menu style which offers a good visibilty on our PAL TV set.

Hi folks, having some trouble. I am using a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 900 (66060) USB stick under Windows 7. I have tried using the Win7 software from their website, but it won't record in .mpeg format (which I want prefereably for later use in authoring program) and the picture is poor and grainy, so after much searching on web I am now trying NPVR, but hit problems straight away.

I have downloaded and installed the latest version from the announcements section (1.5.33 beta). I have then opened the application and gone to settings>devices.

I can see two entries as follows:

DVB-T WinTV HVR-900H BDA Tuner
Analog WinTV HVR-900H Capture

I have tried selecting both and going to Device Setup. In there, I am adding a channel 35 to try and pick up my VHS signal (the VHS feeds into the USB stick).

I think there is a problem there, reading across the fields it says

Number Name Details
35 My VHS Tuner-Channel 0

so I'm not sure if it is picking up 35, or its just called 35. Is there no way to "scan channels"?

I have also gone to decoders and set as follows:
MPEG2 Video : Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder
MPEG1 Audio: Microsoft DTV-DVD Audio Decoder

Not sure what these should be, but they looked the most "defaulty" options.

Either way, once I go back to main menu, the Live TV option is greyed out so I can neither watch nor record any TV/signal. What am I doing wrong?

Any advice muchly appreciated, let me know if theres any more info you need.

MVP exits into the root menu when trying to play a mpg file from a network share. There seems to be a bug in 1.5.33 with passing filenames to the streaming thread.

Trying to play:
2010-10-22 22:54:08.107 [DEBUG][7] Requested file: System.Byte[] (\\nas\mmedia\Filmi\The Last Temptation of Christ\The Last Temptation of Christ_20090909_22100050.mpg)

The error:
2010-10-22 22:54:08.117 [ERROR][7] Unexpected error in streaming thread: System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\nas\mmedia\Filmi\The Last Temptation of Christ\The Last Temptation of Christ_20090909_22100050.mpg'

Should I be looking at GBPVR documentation for creating my own skin, or is there some NPVR documentation somewhere?

I have had some problems with stuttering audio in N-PVR for some time. I did however notice that the problems got worse and worse as time went. And I even got stuttering outside of N-PVR.
I had a suspicion that the OS or audio drivers where to blame since the stuttering got worse and worse, and no restart of N-PVR would help.

So I rebooted my HTPC and stuttering was gone. I am also using the audio patch that sub has dispatched so it may have helped with some of the original glitchy audio problems that others have too.

Now, before I try to find and update the audio drivers, that are now the Win 7 default drivers, I would like to get the input from the community. Is this something that has happened to others? Is there a common problem here with a common solution? I have some suspicions that there may be interrupt problems with the TV tuners and the audio device. But that is mere speculation. How do I test that?

I am on win 7 x64 with Realtec 883 audio.

Hi all,

Just tried a Hauppauge NOVA-S-USB2 and can't pick up any Hotbird 13.0e channels. Tried everything (WinTV7) to no avail.

I know my LNB is aligned ok because I can pick up Hotbird channels using my other NOVA-HD-S2 (PCI) cards and the same software, same PC etc.

Any ideas?...............or perhaps another DVB-S USB box......that will work with NPVR.

Ian.

I had some problems with GBPVR v1.4.7 so I've wiped my machine clean, installed Win7 64bit and NPVR 1.5.33.

Last night I watched a couple of newly recorded shows and had a couple of problems.

Tried to watch survivor. Playback froze when it encountered the first commercial cut. I couldn't bring up the OSD, first time I just hit stop and restarted the show and everything resumed normally until the end. Show didn't exit back to npvr, just froze on the last scene until I hit stop.

Tried to watch supernatural. Again playback froze at the start of the first commercial cut. Hit the OSD button on the mce remote - no dice. This time I tried skip forward an the show resumed playback after the commmercial cut. Rest of the show played fine and skipped all the cut points properly and automatically. Same problem at the end of the show, playback froze on the last scene until I hit stop to return to npvr.

Logs attached.

Have we lost volume control with the new NPVR/PCH setup?
Just testing NPVR on my PCH now and I remember it was a late addition to MVPMCX2. Presumably most people use the amp remote but my amp is hidden in a cupboard so I'd need a repeater, which is a bit of a pain.
