XML. I hate it. At the best of times

Anyway, ranting aside, what's the best way to store and retrieve settings (in config.xml) that would be stored in the same format as the main menu buttons, ie:

I am running the latest NPVR and everything was working perfect. Now my XMLTV file is not pulling in the program data.

I have checked with a Simple XMLTV viewer and all the data is there in the file.

I have a zip file that is 2Meg with config.xml, Logs, and the XMLTV. It is too big to attach.

Below is the NRecord.log

Hi.
I have problem with AR on all local files. nPVR should use AUTO, but AR is always wrong, i need to press F7 four times to fix it.
Stop and start playback, and AR is wrong again.
DVD playback have it even worse, there is completelly black screen until i press F7.

AR is always correct in GB-PVR or if i open video in Graphstudio.

LOG is here.

Hi,

I have previously used GB-PVR with a Hauppauge 150 capture card. I am now trying to use NPVR with a Hauppauge HD PVR 1212.

I'm having some problems with the setup. My main problem is that when I try to test my connection to the HD PVR by selecting Live TV in NPVR a quick message saying "please wait" pops up and then disappears right away, then nothing.

I a noob so would appreciate detailed info on what my settings should be.

Also would like to use mx2xml for channel info, setup info for that would be great.

Lastly, how do I set up Comskip?

Thanks in advance for help. Details on my setup are in my signature. If you need a log file for troubleshooting, where can I find it?


Some of my issues may be related to the length of the USB cable that is connecting my HD PVR to my computer. My HD PVR is in my living room next to my TV and my computer is in the office in the adjacent room and the USB connects via cable runs and wall plates. Total run is maybe 18 feet.

I saw the other post about glitchy audio, but it got very confused with a separate MPG playback issue, so here we go again with a clean thread.

Upgrading from 1.5.31 to 1.5.33 has taken my pristine audio and made it very glitchy. Also, if I pause live tv, after restarting play, I have major sync issues I can't seem to resolve.

My source is just DVB-S (FreeView NZ Satellite). Something has taken a turn for the worse in this release.

When I set up my dvb-s card & 2 x dvb-t, I used the same XML file for all the cards.

I get multiple chanels showing in the channels setup, and in the guide, even thought they have the same name & guide source.
Is this expected, or is there a way to merge the chanels together?

I use the epg eollector from geekzone, as I have to download data for my stb channels also ( and dvbtoxmltv was not working as well as it had in the past)

Hey,

I asm just starting to test with NPVR, and wrote a program to take the channel number given output at record time, and zero pad to 3 digits for my STB.

The program works from commandline, but does not fire the blaster when NPVR runs it (I can see it running the command in the logs, and my program also logs the request, and wht it sent.

Is this relatd to the account in wich NPVR record service runs as? Does it need to be run as local user or something?
I tried ticking 'interact with desktop', but no change.

Hi,

I've installed mvpmcx2 on my PCH-100 & got it working to the point I can see the skin. However, when I scroll & click on Live TV all I get is a black screen w/ no audio.

The ../temp/live folder does show a live .ts file getting bigger as time passes - a file which I can play on my PC and also on my PCH (however there's no audio when playback is from PCH).

I'll be grateful for any kind of help..

Thanks

Hi all,

Have noticed that every now and then when watching live tv (no recording in progress) that my display will go very stuttery for a few seconds, and at the same time my PC will make a new whirring sound (sorry, I've never been close enough to see exactly what it is).

I have 2 sata drives, most of my media folders are all on this 2nd drive including recordings but photos are across my network on a QNAP NAS, and the Live Tv Buffer is in the default C:\Temp\.

I'm thinking my drive D is going to sleep and perhaps nPVR is checking in every now and then hence the stutteriness, whirring up.
Or, perhaps it's the auto-fan on the mb Cpu which is stealing my cpu to do housekeeping.

Any ideas before I start troubleshooting?

Ian.

Can't seem to find any solution of how to edit the channel names when xmltv is used as the source.

Its been annoying me for some time now that I have a channel with extra text appended to its name:
Yesterday (Satellite/Cable)

It also screws up the channel logos, as they have to be named the exact same as the channel name, so its a no-go with the / in the name.

I realise that NPVR gets round this by decoupling the xmltv data from the channel names, but is there any solution for PVRX2?
