Hi all,

Been running GBPVR for a day or so but am experiencing a few problems.
Using 2off Hauppauge NOVA-HD-S2 for Astra 28.2e feed. Am in the UK.

It was working to begin with but no the EPG contains no data, and thats after a full PG update. I'm using basic functionality, no external XML feed. Just seems unreliable.

Some of my ripped DVD's (VOBs) are showing up as 4:3 instead of 16:9 (the originals were 16:9), also the menu's don't seems to work. I have a Dvico TviX6500A and the exact same ripped DVD's play perfectly including the menu's.

Some channels I'll get sound but a blank screen.

Is there anywhere on the forums that can give a new user basic how to do things info, ive searched thru many many threads but most users seem to be whiz kids talking another language, basic stuff like does the NPVR program need to be running to record a program from the EPG at night?

I tried GBPVR and it did not recognise my USB digital tuner stick, so I installed NPVR and I have had no trouble.

Dear all,

new wiki is looking practical, therefore in 7 days the pointers in top of left hand nav of old wiki where it says NPVR will now point to new wiki here:

http://www.gbpvr.com/nwiki/

This is one for authors of skins and plugins, I think pretty much everyone has moved their bits there, if not now is the time

Hi,

I have been following the thread http://forums.gbpvr.com//showthread.php?...MD-to-work, but as my problems are different I thought to open my own thread.

I have got the newcs server running, the acamd connects and I can watch and record ONE show. NPVR allows me to record or watch a parallell show but I get nothing but black screen on that show.

I also have problems getting newcsgui 1.2 to run (System error code 193, %1 is not a valid win32 application) and I am wondering if there is a way to execute newcs in quiet mode?

Attaching the output from both newcs and acamd when recording one show (Ch: 283 - TVNZ ) and watching another (Ch: 256 - TVNZ).

NPVR logs are also attached.

Any ideas? Is there any other setting I need to do?

Hi,

I have 2off Hauppauge NOVA-HD-S2 cards, both connected to the same source (Satellite).

I've set them both up and have gone through the channels I want enabled, but I just thought, rather than do the exact same again for the 2nd input (to keep them both in sync) I would have liked a COPY function that would save me the bother.......or perhaps a "use 1st EPG enabled list".

PS. I'm a newbie, but I presume that I can view one channel whilst recording another.......that was the point of me getting the 2 identical cards.

PPS. Have come from SageTV....too many issues for my liking......love GBPVR, really simple yet slick and very pro looking. Donation heading in soon.

I'm new to nPvr and never used gbPvr. I can use Manual Record to record a program once with no problem but if I set it to record weekly, daily or Mon - Fri nPvr pops up an unhandled exception dialog box when I click OK.
I'm leaving the Advanced Rule edit at the default None. Should I be doing something here?

I do not have a program schedule xml file, and the broadcast epg data is erratic, a couple channels seem to have the correct data but most are listed as no info available or listed with the wrong channel. Could that be a problem with Manual Record?

Thanks for any help you can give me!

Hi,

I saw that some methods and properties that were exposed in GBPVR/PVRX2 are missing in NPVR. For most of the things, there are some kind of workarounds, but some parts that would be important for me are missing:
- Events for "EpgUpdated", "ShuttingDown", "StartupComplete"
- Access to an UiElement's texture (textureTopLeft, textureTopRight, ... properties)
- Something similar the previous oneOffRect property for UiElements

Is there a chance that those will be added in a future release?

Thanks,

If anyone has any good rule examples that could go on the wiki post below.

With the new style recordings screen the only way to show the buttons on the menu bar is to use the mouse or the info key (if you have one).

On the other screens (eg Music) you can press Left/Up to show the menu bar. Can this functionality be added to the recordings screen?

Hi,

I get an error when I try to load the backup of the recurring recordings...

The importer complains about an "unknown channel" in the recurring-backup.xml.

Further investigation indicates that this is caused by the "channel OID=0" for the scheduled recordings for which I have specified "record on any channel".....

IMHO it looks like a small oversight in the importer, not knowing about the new "record any channel" rule...

Here is the snippet from the log...
