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.
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?
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)?
I'm running N-PVR 1.5.33 and had two USB DVB-T tuners working,
a Nova-T and a cheap generic one.
These showed up in the Devices window as :
WinTV Nova-T Stick DVB-T Tuner (Dev1 Path0)
USB DVB-T TV Tuner
Today I got a dual tuner to replace the generic one, its a Nova-TD stick (model no. 01273)
That shows up in the Devices window as
Hauppauge WinTV MOD7700 DVB-T Tuner (Dev2 Path0)
I expected it to show up twice. There doesn't seem to be a way of telling NPVR that it should look for another tuner.
As the new tuner came with a CD, I used that to update the drivers and re-boot the machine.
The old listings in the device window are still there but show NO in the PRESENT column.
The two new listings are:
Hauppauge WinTV MOD7700 DVB-T Tuner (Dev1 Path0)
WinTV Nova-T Stick DVB-T Tuner (Dev2 Path0)
i.e. still only two tuners showing.
I have restarted NPVR after every attempt to change anything.
I have searched in the forums but can only find how to configure dual tuners in GB-PVR, nothing which applies to NPVR.
could some kind soul point my old brain in the direction for the keyboard entry needed to bring N-PVR back from Full Screen to Windowed mode? I bet it is on a thread somewhere but I haven't found it!
I either knew it and have now forgotten, or never knew but know want to know
