Been testing all the NPVR releases but I'm wondering...when I play video should I be seeng forward/reverse buttons? Also, clickng on the time-line doesn't let me advance either.
Just update my GBPVR install to EWA v83 and there is no season recordings tab. Has this been removed now (can't find any mention on forums or wiki), I notice there are still entries for it in the themes directories? I know everything can be done from the recordings tab but I miss it. Thanks.
I scheduled a few recordings using the TV Guide and set them to record weekly (season record). Usually, the guide turns that show red and it shows in pending recordings. For some reason, this does not happen for me in season record. It does show up in reccuring recordings only. If I forward to the time the show is set to record, the guide is not marked red.
However if I schedule a show as a quick record or 1 off recording, it does show up where it belongs and is highlighted in red as it should be.
I've not had this problem in earlier NPVR versions. Also, it appears that if I try to schedule a show on today or the next day, I don't have this problems. Only if I try to set a scheduled, weekly recording a few days out.
I'm not sure why this happens.
I should also mention that the System plugin also shows no pending recordings.
I am trying to add a second tuner to my legacy GBPVR configuration. Tuner is from meritline.com and appears to be from the Auvitek family. I am not able to get the bda drivers to work for this tuner. I am attaching my filtercheck log in hopes that someone can help me set this up.
Primary tuner is Hauppauge 1600 dual tuner pci card.
In Denmark, one of the major danish TV stations(TV2) has chosen not to "burn in" the subtitles, not a problem for me as long as it´s english speeking films. But for my wife it´s a major problem.
For playing on PC not a problem, VLC player shows the DVB-C subtitles just fine, when selected.
But for playing on our network media player, there is no subtitles and no options to select DVB subtitles(the NMP show .srt and so on).
I think this is a general problem for all NMP´s.
Is it possible to make an option, to select, to have the subtitles burned in(on) the recorded show? Maybe even Individual recordings? Or to extract subtitles to .srt?

Turner: HDHomeRun, recordings in .ts
Testing: NPVR v. 1.5.28
Using: 1.4.7
Windows 7 Enterprise
A couple of days ago I unplugged my external usb TV card. Then I plugged it in again.
This resulted in two almost identical devices in the device list.
So I need to remove one of them as it is nonexistent.
I can't find a way to remove it in the settings nor in config.xml.
Do I have to tweak the db-file?
I noticed, nPVR doesnot register "NPVR Recording Service" correctly, becouse path is set to default "C:\Program Files\NPVR" instead of C:\NPVR.
If i uninstall nPVR, NPVR Recording Service is not removed from system from old nPVR installation (i make sure service is stoped before uninstall).
Another problem is, that nPVR doesnot unregister correctly *.AX files - just check in Graphstudio, they remain there after uninstall with (!) (can be connected to NPVR Recording Service?)
This bug was also present in 1.5.28, I just never got around to reporting it. Since you've just made a new release, it seems a fine time to add to your to do list
If I resume playback on a recording, it resumes to and plays from the correct spot but the timeline position is stuck at 12:48, and any skip is then done relative to 12:48. The 12:48 is consistent regardless of the actual resume point.
From the attached log, I play a file and skip in about 30 minutes; then stop playback; it stores the correct resume point:
Code:
2010-09-05 23:50:57.470 [DEBUG][1] Using timing.info, jumping to time 1824.528198 (offset 3111347736)
2010-09-05 23:51:01.148 [DEBUG][1] appcommand: 1 +(lParam: 10000, wParam: 140234)

Then I resume playback, and it jumps to the correct spot in the video:
Code:
2010-09-05 23:51:14.508 [DEBUG][1] PlaybackPositionHelper.GetPlaybackPosition(F:\Recordings\House\House_20100905_20002100.ts)
2010-09-05 23:51:14.510 [DEBUG][1] Using timing.info, jumping to time 1828.000000 (offset 3117384792)
But then I hit fast-forward once, and it jumps back to approximately 12:48+10 seconds:
Code:
2010-09-05 23:51:23.380 [DEBUG][1] appcommand: 49 +(lParam: 10310000, wParam: 140234)
2010-09-05 23:51:23.382 [DEBUG][1] Using timing.info, jumping to time 778.000000 (offset 1326056120)
I didn't do any further skipping in that log, but I can confirm after that all further skipping proceeds normally.
My cableco has started showing some 3D content which I can capture with the HD PVR. Is this the way that 3D normally looks on 2D TVs and would I still need a 3D TV and the $200 glasses to watch it or is this a different delivery mechanism. I've never been good staring at those 3D images in the comic section, they just look like colours to me.
Seems I get an unhandled exception error when I try to use the Man-Rec pop-up. Here's info from the log:
