Hello!

Just installed n-pvr and of course i run into problems immediately. My Haupaugge PVR-150MCE doesn't show up in Devices. I believe that this is because it's the MCE edition or something like that. But since I don't have the courage to try and fix this in the config files I let someone here assist me in what to do. The card showed up perfectly in GB-PVR

This has occurred several times with 1.5.28 using the ATI 650 QAM tuner (Thanks for adding the support for this.)

I am curious if anyone is successfully using comskip (donator version) with HD PVR recordings. I had first tried this out about 8 months ago, but I had disappointing results. It would for very long time and then when it completed, it would not find any commercials.

I decided recently to try again with the latest version of comskip. It seems to run to completion faster than before but it still is not finding all the commercials. I have been testing it on the new AMC HD show called Rubicon. It only has about 4 commercial breaks over the 60 minute period. Comskip only finds about 30% of the commercials.

I am hoping someone has had a similar experience and was able to make a few tweaks to the comskip.ini file improve its accuracy with HD PVR recordings.

I have been using comskip on QAM and analog recordings with great success for a couple years. I am hoping I can get the same behavior on my HD PVR recordings.

I've been playing around with a skin, fumbling a bit...

A row in the skin setting can have settings for "Visilble", like @isFolder or @HasMetaData etc.
Can I use both for one setting?
Like <Visible="@isFolder, @hasMetaData"> (this example do not work)

I am using TV Listings Version 2.11 with the wide screen Community Skin and have two television listings guides defined. This is running under Windows 7 64 bit.

When I bring up TV Listings I can't switch between the guides.

I had to reload Windows and reinstall all applications. Before the reload I was able to switch between guides by clicking on the guide name with the mouse.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

LiveTV won't work any more after changing channels, then exiting livetv and attempting to restart it. LiveTV will then start, but then quits after about 5 seconds with the message "The tuner being used for Live TV is no longer available". Only a recording service restart will restore livetv.

In the attached log I first watch live tv on 3 separate channels, exiting and selecting a new channel from the TV guide each time.

Then I start live tv again, but this time I change channels 3 times. Everything is OK to this point.

Finally, I exit live tv, and try to watch 2 different programs from the TV guide. Both times Live TV starts, but then fails after about 5 seconds; the log says it failed to renew the lease.

Got npvr up on the main PVR machine, but slight problems before changing over main use.

Fixed channel STB, RedEye serial port USB blaster working fine so far.

While configuring Analogue, fixed channel, STB use and direct DVB-S use, I would like to disable the digital and analogue tuners in turn. It works fine with the digital tuner, but removing the tick from my analogue tuner has no effect. Digital, disables it and shows as disabled, analogue keeps going and shows as enabled.

Still asking for and waking for EPG at 0300 when 'none' selected.

cheers.

Is there a way to hide all the "[ ]" around folder and file names?

A tweak in the skin or in config.xml maybe?

I miss being able to select the timeline to jump to a position.

I also miss on the guide that the top no longer shows red indicating you have a recording scheduled at that time slot.

Minor, but they were useful.

I have WinXP, SP3, GBPVR v 1.3.11, and EPG MC2XML. I have been using these components for several years (it seems like), and all has been well. Recently, after returning from a 2 week vacation (during which the computer was off) I attempted to record a program, and noticed that the TV Guide says "no show details". I have piddled around with various things, but can't get it going.

Is the MC2XML source working? Does anyone have suggestions about how to get the TV Guide filled in with information?

Thanks for any help.
