1. If a program is currently being recorded then when bringing up the current program info can there be some sort of indication that the program is being recorded. Suggest a flashing "REC" just above the CH. indication. Maybe I'm too used to my old SKYHD box where there was an LED on the front panel that indicated a recording in progress!
2. If a program is being recorded then allow WATCH. I quite often channel hop back and forth off/on a program that is currently being recorded. I know the workaround but...........
3. Using the Hauppauge remote I make use of the TV, VIDEOS, MUSIC & PICTURES buttons, but they only work from the main menu which isn't much of a saver. Can these not be made to work wherever the user is. I.e. I'd like to be able to get to PICTURES even if I am currently watching Live Tv.
UPDATES:-
4. If you are on any screen watching a video, live tv, browsing photos etc etc.....then if a recording starts then a wee OSD pop-up will appear. Yeah, I know this is maybe not so easy......but wouldn't it be such a great touch.
If you're upgrading from an earlier build of 1.5.x, you need to make sure you stop the NPVR software before installing. In future releases I'll make this automatic, but thats not the case yet.
Mostly just small changes and bug fixes in this release. Quite a few of these had previously been posted as patches.

When I use the arrows to change channels, for some reason, after hitting enter and watching that selected channel, I hit the up or down arrow to change the channel again, and it always seems to be on some channel far far away from the channel I was watching. Is there a reason for this?
I love EWA and use it to auto-record a lot of shows. Making the transition to NPVR and when I loaded up the new EWA the Genre select list is missing. Also noticed there is a d> after Search for phrase.
Below is the HTML source:
Code:
<tr valign="top">
<td align="right"><B>Search For Phrase:d>
<td align="left" style="width: 596px"><input name="_ctl0:ContentPlaceHolder1:searchPhrase" type="text" id="_ctl0_ContentPlaceHolder1_searchPhrase" size="50" />
<input name="_ctl0:ContentPlaceHolder1:caseSensitive" type="checkbox" id="_ctl0_ContentPlaceHolder1_caseSensitive" title="Selecting this will force the search to match the case of the letters entered in the search phrase." /><span>Case Sensitive </span>
</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td align="right" visible="false"><B>Genre:</B></td>

Hi everyone,
Trying to make the transition to NPVR. Everything working okay for the most part - except DVD playback. Both Discs and Hard Drive ripped video_ts folders don't play video. Discs seem to at least play audio - whereas the hard drive rips don't seem to do anything.
Found this in my npvr.log

I've tried different decoders with no luck. For what its worth the DVDs play correctly with WMP, VLC, Cyberlink, and PVRX2.
running the last gbpvr.
Have a dual core processor 2 gb of memory and 2 dual tuner hauppague 2250's.
So I can record 4 channels at the same time.
But I find if I try to watch a recording and all 4 tuners are recording at the same time, the machine will start to lock up, or rather gbpvr shows as not responding and will either studder during play back, or just lock up for a while. It will recover on its own if you give it some time.
CPU usage is still under 10 percent total, and memory usage is pretty low too.
So I figure I must be disk bound. Running a 1.5tb sata drive.
But that really doesn't explain gbpvr locking up, or does it?
C drive is a different hard drive, where it is installed.
Is it possible to point each tuner to a different drive?
or at least each card?
Was trying out my DVD drive (1st time) since I built my HTPC.
Got as far as navigating around the DVD menu to turn off the subtitles (just happened to be the menu item I had selected to test) when NPVR crashed.
As attached.
If you want any of the NPVR logs then let me know which one.
Do you ever get tired of looking at a plain computer case??
I was walking through a second-hand store and found Thomasville night stands for $25. So I have a new NAS case for my work room. I thought about removing the drawers but kept them in the end. Each drawer has motherboard, hard-drives and a 200mm fan in the back.
Thought I'd start a new thread to help those getting the 45 button Hauppauge remote working with nPVR. I have also tried to document best I can my own Irremote.ini
