Well, I thought I would post my list of found bugs. It will be from the top of my head, so I might forget some and later come back and edit this post to correct. Some of these bugs my be known, some maybe not...
This is from 1.5.31 + patch 6 by johnsonx42:
In device setup, scanning channels. The swedish station names, e.g "Karlstad, Sörmon", are encoded as UTF-8, but the dialog tries to display them as iso-8859-1. (by the look of the garbeld output)
When coming back to channel scan the location and station is forgotten. In my case showing Spain, Andalusia.
When selection multidec and not having FFdecsa.dll in path, the error dialog displays behind the fullscreen N-PVR window. I.e not showing.
CI not working for Twinhan Ter-CI
When changing the root folder for recordings in the settings and copying stuff to a new place. N-PVR still references the old directory for older existing recordings. New recordings go to the new location. It would be much better IMHO if the database referenced recordings indirectly and only needed the root folder from settings for the complete path. EDIT: This has been debated below, and is not regarded a bug.
In the integration with NMT, done by Martin. There seems to be a bug that hangs the whole service that occurs after you set your PCH to exit N-PVR. When you go to you standalone N-PVR the capture devices refuses to show a picture. Restarting the service hangs until you manually kill NextPVR.exe. This has happened twice for me. Forgot to take the logs though... Edit: Have done extensive tests and cannot reproduce this problem, so case closed!
When approaching the end of a recording that is still recording, i.e catching-up the end, I get kicked out to the TvGuide. If I stay say a minute from the end all is well. When I get kicked out, there is no resume possibility either.
PC client: When a new program starts according to the EPG, the stream stops. In GB-PVR there was a problem too where there was a minor hickup between programs. In N-PVR it stops. Escaping to TV Guide and restarting the view restores the stream. For a childrens channel where each program is about 10-15 minutes this becomes "challenging" after some time
Sometimes when restarting the recording server, it fails. Need to manually kill the NextPVR.exe processes first then NRecord goes down.
Missing features from GB-PVR (some dearly missed)
OSD buttons for REW/FF/PAUSE
To click in the timeline bar to quickly go to a point in time.
Missing TVGuide in video playback. EDIT: And in recordings too! This was a great benefit in GB-PVR that regardless where you were, what you were watching, the TV Guide was always accessible.
I am not 100% sure, but I seem to remember that the timeline for TV shows were adjusted to the life span of the show according to the EPG. This does no longer appear to be true. So I can no longer just check the timeline to see how much is left of a show. EDIT: <OldStyleTimeLine<true</OldStyleTimeLine> fixes this
Hmm, will probably fill in more items as I remember them. Others with there own reports may post them here too. Maybe we can get a complete list for Sub to chew on.
Anyone know why I would be getting glitchy audio that cuts out randomly while watching live TV? This only happens with live TV, when watching recordings, the audio is fine.
A small issue but probably worth fixing at some point.
Selecting "Recording" from the main menu I enter the "Whats New" screen. This appears to show the status when it was last accessed rather than the current status. Using the right arrow then left arrow to return to the "Whats New" screen will force it to update. It appears that it is not updating when you access the Recording screens from the menu.
I am converting VCR material to mpg. The result plays OK on WMP and NPVR but on the PCH there is no audio. Can anyone see where the problem may be from these specs produced by Quick Media Converter?

If I am recording a programme, but then go off and watch something else (I have 2 sources) but then go back to the 1st programme I can only PLAY the recording, the option to WATCH live is gone.
Over the last couple of days no movie data is being returned, even though when looking through alternative title choices, there are many listed. I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem, or if it is just a system problem for me. I have the latest version of MovieWiz.
I have a few ClearQAM channels that are not working correctly. I am missing 2 OTA channels, and I am pretty sure 2 of these are the 2 missing channels. When I try to view these channels, the screen actually freezes with whatever was on the screen at the moment I changed to the non-working channel, channel info display included. I then can blindly change to a working channel and everything's fine again. I remember seeing some channels act this way when I was using GBPVR also. In GBPVR, I think I had to actually manually change some channel request parameter or something to get one of the OTA channels working right (one of the OTA channels I seem to be missing now), but I don't see any place to mess with these parameters in NPVR. Anybody know what could be the problem here?
I'm trying to map clearQAM channels, but my cable provider doesn't give any channel names, so I have to sit and try to figure out every single channel. Sometimes I have multiple channels playing the same thing. I know one is their HD channel and one is their SD channel, but I am not sure what the others are when there are more than 2. In GBPVR we had a preview screen that showed a small preview of the channel, and all info on the video too which made it much easier to map channels. How can I see the video information in NPVR so I can determine what these channels are?
