I installed npvr yesterday and it seemed to work fine. However, at some point the service stopped working. I tried uninstall, reinstall and nothing worked. I deleted the service through sc delete, reinstalled and I am still getting the same error. I am not really sure the uninstall is doing much. Logs have nothing.
I am having a problem with Free View EPG data in Melbourne.
Not all channels update. It appears only to be a problem with Stations with 3 or more DVB channels.
Sometimes I get all the data sometimes only 2 or 3 channels.
Is it possible to increase the scan time in NPVR and how do I do it?
Live Tv works the first time then if I exit to the main menu and go back to Live TV a 2nd time it gives tells me "unable to communicate with recording service" newa show the device as recording, if I try it for a 3rd time "failed to start stream"
if I try to record 2 different channels one on each tuner, the recording service stops
I neet a bit of help for adding an entry for this analog device in AnalogDevices.xml. It doesn't have a HW encoder, but I'v installed the SoftPvr package.
Adding this one as its own thread. Sub is going to try to add this in a future release.
To make it so that it is possible to delete folders from within the Videos screen ? This used to be possible in GBPVR. I am able to delete individual shows but I am left with various empty folders that I then need to delete manually outside NPVR. Its also useful to be able to delete a long list of shows by deleting the containing folder.
Please add a comment to this thread if this is also something you need.
As NPVR is now always in ts mode and appears to be updating the epg fairly continuosly would it be possible to do away with the nightly epg update - having a process to keep the latest info and alocating recordings to tuners etc. running in the background either continuously or on a preset time scale (every 20mins or something)?
As it seems that my Haupauge WinTV-CI card reader cannot keep up with HD transmissions, sub suggested to try another multidec solution. From what I understand you will then need a Phoenix smart card reader. Since my knowledge in this area so far is very limited could someone please take a look at the specifications on this reader (http://www.adteknik.se/english/usbphoenix.htm) and letting me know if it is what I am looking for.
Whilst doing a channel scan on either of the two tuners on my Nova-T 500, I get the the Exception below. I had to click on Continue (actually I pressed and held down C!) quite a few times before it stopped popping up. It doesn't pick up many channels either (9), so probably the error occurs after the first mux.
