I know this probably won't work, but thought I'd ask if it was possible anyway.

If I put a DVD in the NPVR server machine, can I use NPVR to stream that to a client NPVR?

I am thinking to bite into development of a RSS Reader plugin for NPVR. Is there anybody already working on a similar plugin?

When setting up my device, I accidentally deleted a channel. I don't want to rescan just for that one channel. Is there a way to manually add it?

Anybody know why I keep getting this error? I have reinstalled quite a few times by now, and it keeps coming back.

I am trying to find the NPVR equivalents to the 'IsPlaying' methods including:
GBPVRPublic.IPluginHelper.IsPlayingMusic()
GBPVRPublic.IPluginHelper.IsPlayingDVD()
GBPVRPublic.IPluginHelper.IsPlayingTV()
GBPVRPublic.IPluginHelper.IsPlayingVideo()

and IsPlaylistPaused()


can anyone help?

I've trained GBPVR to do a lot of exciting things, including, with the help of GraphRecorder, streaming flash video into TV recordings.

The problem I am having is that I can't time-shift the FLV files because the GBPVR recording service will not recognise that extension. When I change the extension to .mpg, the file plays after it is complete, but not while it is downloading.

I realise that GBPVR and its plugins are now considered "legacy" products, but I can't upgrade to NPVR, at least until Graphrecorder and other products have been updated. I was wondering how difficult it would be to get the service to recognise an FLV extension? Alternatively, does anyone know how I can convince my codecs to use the FLV decoder if the MPG decoder doesn't work?

Hi Martin

Had a couple of issues, but got the pvh and npvr working together. Had to play with some of the files to get the shares going.

Anyway trying to play .avi files off either the local server or another machine gets "buffering" screen but no playback.

Anyone else reported this?

I am relatively new to cardsharing. I am using NEWCS, ACAMD and NPVR, shouldn´t that work?

I think I have got the NEWCS to work all right,

I can watch all fre channels but no encrypted
What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions?

I've got a problem with the PCH. When my PC goes to sleep, the connection to the PCH is dropped. That's good. Normally, after waking the machine, the PCH can connect just fine. But sometimes it cannot, I believe because the mvp server is not available but I have no mvpmcx2 logs yet. The screen stays black for a long time and goes back to the main menu. What's even a bigger problem is that I cannot restart the npvr recording service (I've seen this mentioned before), not even by right clicking the npvr tray icon. The only solution is to restart my PC.
To end positive: it's working fine with GBPVR, so it can work!

GOOD NEWS owners of Genpix devices!

genpix @dvbn Wrote:here we go
:dance:
Here is a first iteration of genpix bda/pbda drivers.
Version 0.1.0.0 is here.

It has several bda extended functions (send_diseqc is one of them).
It even supports ibda diseqc commands recently introduced by microsoft.

It is not based on the code written by shree ganesha (see viewtopic.php?f=43&t=52508).
Driver is written completely from scratch.
Initial code was originated by sichbo, the proud member of this forum (he made the most of the research and initial leg-work, i have to send him "ge medal of honor" :clap: )

that's why it is not a surprise that sichbopvr is the first dvb application which takes full advantage of this driver (sichbopvr ver.2.2.1 uses all three extended genpixbda functions).

I tried this genpixbda driver on few other dvb applications (surely, neither of them can utilize diseqc functins of the driver yet).
Dvb dream works fine (it can tune turbo-fec 8psk transponders as well; but can not lock turbo-fec qpsk, because its bda interface sends bda requests for them using plain qpsk commands)
progdvb also tunes and scans (though, 8psk modulation is missing from the drop-down menu. Doh! Thus, i can not even select it).
Mytheatre has some problem (its bda interface sends incorrect sw and lof2 to bda driver; i have to talk to saar to find out why): Sometimes it tunes, sometimes doesn't.

You may start trying your own favorite dvb applications which support bda/pbda drivers.
And if their authors are willing to support genpixbda extended functions, instructions are in the driver package (zip file).

Attention: Genpix wdm and genpix bda driver can not be installed simultaneously. You have to uninstall one of them to install another.
Genpixbda driver does not have a digital signature yet (you have to use f8-trick on win 7 x64 to be bale to install the driver).

About vmware:
You may install the driver on your vmware guest os (and still keep genpix wdm driver on a host os).
But make sure that you allow only one cpu core for guest os (looks like vmware incorrectly emulates several cores, and this causes bsods on guest os which uses streaming through usb device).

Added:
This driver does not support original genpix 8psk-to-usb2 adapter yet (though, adapter rev.2 should work).
I may add this support in later versions.
