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?

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)

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:
2010-09-05 17:32:41.141 [ERROR][1] Unexpected error: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

In LiveTV, TV1 is the only channel (1-9) that fills the window. Pressing the numeric keys to browse to another channel results in a squished/stretched video image in the top-left of the window. Random colours or large grey blocks appear where the video isn't. See the attached image(s) for a screenshot.
If I go back to TV1, aspect ratio is correct and the video fills the screen - but still only for that channel.
I have no such issue with Media Portal on the same machine.
Decoder settings are: VRM9; MPC MPEG2 Video Decoder (Gabest); h264: ArcSoft Decoder.
Windows XPsp3 with nVidia 8600GT card with latest drivers.
all input most warmly welcome. I know things like NEWA needs changing from EWA but it doesn't matter if you remind me as this is a lot of work and I forget many things (and don't know many other things)

In the latest 1.5.31 beta of NPVR, when I'm in the TV Guide grid and press the Rev button, it does not scroll back a screen at a time. The FF button still goes forward a screen at a time, and the left arrow still goes back one time-block at a time.
mvpmxc2 now uses the timing info created in NPVR files for much more accurate skipping on .ts files. It is much more accurate than I expected, often within a second even on long jumps. Digital files recorded in .28 will have this info, as well as analog files recorded beginning with .31
I think some work needs to be done on NPVR if there is a com skip commercial at the beginning of the file, especially when resuming.
II. NPVR and GBPVR
There is a nice improvement (idea suggested by sub) that eliminates the flashing OSD during video playback. It uses a lot of memory but hopefully by the time I need it we will have some better ideas.
There is a small fix eliminating a problem playing back some mp3 files with ID3v2 tags via HDMI.
