Hi all, I've not posted hear for a long time.

I'm still running GBPVR 1.4.7 on XP with 2 Nova-T cards.
I'm going to upgrade to Win 7 & NPVR next week & want to check a few things.

I'll use a new hd & a new Window 7 installation. I intend to install 64bit with 6GB ram. Are there any problems I should watch out for & will the Nova-T cards work fine with 64bit?

Can I import all my old recordings via recording-dump.xml.

I hope this goes ok or I'll get a lot of ear ache from the wife & kids

I tried to play one of my m2ts files which is in a network share. It still won't play the video, it just bounces you back out to the pch menu. However it does work when the m2ts video file is on the C: Drive. Is there a way to get it to work on the network share?

Keeping it simple, a few months ago, Comcast switched things some so that some of the basic channels are now encrypted. So I'm looking for something that will decode the encrypted channels (legally) without the need for special equipment from the company. I'm aware of 'cablecards' which the cable company would then authorize (activate, whatever) so that it can properly decode the stations, I'm just at a loss for what PC cards can do it. I'm also wondering about TV's that can do this as well.

Is there any way to remove channels from the TV Guide that don't have any EPG data, like any with EPG source set to "none"?

Edit: I guess if I wanted to record one of them I would have to have it listed.. so maybe I don't want this...

A couple of problems with the latest 1.5.33 beta release ... Both have been reported previously, but they seem still unfixed.

1. When playing back a recording of a TV program that has had its commercials (advertisements) removed using comskip, if you move the mouse pointer, you get a timeline displayed near the top of the screen, with gaps showing where the commercials have been removed. In GB-PVR you could click anywhere on the timeline to have the recorded program begin playing at that point. With NPVR, clicking on the timeline doesn't seem to affect where the recording is playing; instead it just continues along from start to finish. This is a major Wife Acceptance Factor issue for me.

2. When displaying the Electronic Program Guide, if you scroll (using the right-arrow key) beyond the end of any text, off into the blank area, then try to scroll back to the normal part of the EPG, it doesn't seem to recover properly. I can usually use the left-arrow key (or Ctrl-left-arrow) to get back to the part of the EPG where there are program listings, then use the right-arrow key and the listings will reappear, but I don't think the functionality is working as it is intended. This one is a minor, low priority annoyance.

I'm running Windows 7 Pro x64, in case the operating system makes a difference.

In any case, it's great to see how far NPVR has come. Given the size of the rewrite, it's in good shape for the functions I use.

I'm considering taking up plugin development for NextPVR. However, I can't seem to find any documentation specifically for NPVR. I haven't done any GBPVR plugin development previously . I'm assuming it's different than writing GBPVR plugins?

My main reasons to contribute are to add the following functions:

1) Cloned video on multiple monitors: http://forums.gbpvr.com//showthread.php?...highlight=
2) Tracking multiple users' viewing history: http://forums.gbpvr.com//showthread.php?...tched-what
3) Adding the ability to play musical Playlists and AutoPlaylists that are from a MediaMonkey3 database.
4) Adding remote control, via a two-way IP socket, from multiple room-sensitive wi-fi PocketPC/Android/iPhone/iPodTouch devices running an Adobe Flash-GUI.

Given these requirements, do you think NPVR is the right choice? Or should I be looking at MediaPortal, given that its core is open source, in case I run into issues with things like adding T-filters into the DirectShow graph to support my AV cloning requirements?

Also, I remember Sub posting something about how, with NPVR, plugins will be able to add their own graphics to the core screens... is that still the case?

Thanks

I just got a
"BlueRetroVE.7z: file is larger than allowed maximum of 2097152 bytes for '7z' files"

so the question is why the smaller restriction for 7z files than zip files?

Hi,

Seems to me that the audio micro-glitching is back.
With the previous release it could be eliminated by configuring just one audio decoder.

I'm still configured with the one decoder under v1.5.33 but am now noticing micro-glitching, albeit it only once every 15/30secs or so.

I have tried re-booting, tried configuring a different decoder, different channels etc.

Not sure........more testing required on my part. Maybe my sat feed is having a bad day.

Ian.

I hope I chose the right thread for this :eek:

Running NPVR v1.5.33 and latest mvpmc dongle (I think latest from here:

Rolling buffer thing seems to come back into play, from this post I deleted the registry hack

http://forums.gbpvr.com//showthread.php?...post390142

and previously with NPVR v1.5.31 LiveTV kept running, it is now doing the stop at 6 minute or so thing again. Should I re-implement the reg hack or have I missed something?

[Edit] Sorry forget that. Don't know why it happened at about 6 minutes. Currently running 2 x MVP's with LiveTV after rebooting them and the 1st one is well into over 10 minutes of LiveTV play [EndEdit]

[2nd Edit] No LiveTV definitely hangs at some point but does not appear to be at a regular time interval at 6 minutes odd like it was previously [EndEdit]

When watching a channel that has H.264 video and HE-AAC sound, it gets out of sync after a while, the audio is ahead of the picture it seems. A glance at the end of NextPVR.log shows that reference clock is set to MPEG1 Audio Renderer, is this correct?
