The Viaccess MPEG2 CI module works fine in nPVR, but not the new one (MPEG4). The new MPEG4 CI module works together with Fire DTV in there own SW "Fire DTV Viewer (Live TV). Help me please !

What command line options does N-PVR support? I'm sure I've seen an update EPG one mentioned but can't remember the exact format?

Hi

I am using the Hauppauge PVR 150MCE card. I am able to watch live tv only when the Preview Mode is checked.
I am not able to Record or pause tv . Here is the error from the log

2010-10-21 02:53:43.218 ERROR [7] Error starting live tv recording: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I read in one other post that this might mean the card is not mentioned in the bda.ini. I have checked and find that PVR 150 is not there

I have attached a screenshot of my capture card configuration

Please help

Thanks in advance

Now my audio is mostly good, I took the plunge to move recordings from GBPVR to NPVR and the first few have been fine. However one this evening randomly stopped 10 mins into the recording (it was meant to be an hour long). Oddly it stopped recording the same minute I started to watch it as it was recording - I started watching it at 2010-10-20 20:10:49.311. I think it went wrong at 2010-10-20 20:09:54.880. It was recording 2 things at once (using the two tuners) and I did try watching live TV for the fun of it to see what it would do, and it correctly told me there were no capture devices. However I wonder if this caused the recording to die? Its not obvious to me from the logs why the recording died.

Hi,

Selected an HD channel from the guide, go the following error. Had to end task to get back to desktop.

Have checked the logs - nothing stands out.

How does descriptive audio work? This is the additional descriptive audio for the visually impaired that describes what is happening on the screen ("A man wearing a trenchcoat walks into a dark room"). For the Seattle PBS station that I tune with clear QAM, I sometimes get this audio, especially Masterpiece Mystery. Do I have the wrong audio stream/PID selected in the channel mapping? Or, did the station do something wrong? (Would not surprise me.) I can't verify that this does or does not happen when I watch the channel on TV, I'm pretty sure it doesn't, though.

The channel scan has 2 audio programs for this channel, ID'd as:
106.1 KCTSHD*(000) A:2049
106.1 KCTSHD*(000(AC3)) A:2050

I have the one ID'd as AC3 mapped, all the other channels only have a singe audio program. Should I have the non-AC3 one mapped? I don't need AC3 as I don't use surround sound.

Thanks for the insight folks.

My kids really miss the colored rectangle that appeared beside recordings that have been watched, any chance it will reappear?

I have a problem with moving my recordings. I have an old recordings folder on D:\recordings and a new one on C:\recordings. When I installed N-PVR I first imported all those D: recordings. Later I got a new 1 TB disk which replaced C: and thus I want to move my recordings to C:. The old D: will be reformatted.

I did this:
1) Copied all data to C:\recordings
2) Edited my old GB-PVR recordings-dump.xml to point all paths to C:\recordings
3) Imported
3) Changed recording folder in settings to C:\recordings
4) Renamed the the old folder to D:\recordings-old

Restarted N-PVR service and started up. I did expect that all recordings in the database that were now missing, i.e pointing to D: would be removed according to the AutoRemoveMissingRecordings setting (which is true). This did not happen so now I ended up with double entries in recordings. One entry pointing to C:\recordings and working, and one entry pointing to the old discarded folder, which has no video to show.

Why is the Auto remove feature not working and how can I sort out this problem?

If anyone has any good batch file examples that could go on the wiki post below.

Any way to stop npvr from recording the same show multiple times if it's already been recorded? The old GBPVR had a "don't record duplicates" option, I'm not seeing that in npvr...


Also, has anyone else noticed that in v1.5.33, the same daemontools iso settings appear on 2 different pages in the configuration options (misc and DVD)?
