I'm getting a message that indicates a process is using the _SeriesIDs.txt file. When I click OK and then click GO to manually run the process I get an error indicating that the argument 'Length' must be greater or equal to zero.
When I open the _SeriesIDs.txt file it contains incorrect data. It is a XML file that when I load into an editor it tells me the domain registration expired Aug. 9, 2010.
I have deleted _SeriesIDs.txt file and re-downloaded the file and I have also deleted my installation of UltraXMLTV and reinstalled. But this has not corrected the problem.
Any suggestions on how to correct the problem? Or is it really a problem with the domain registration expiring?
Hi all
I have just tried to use pvrx2 again after a gap of several months.
I had 'some' minor niggles before and felt I needed to come back to then when I had more time. The system had been working ok just a bit slow.
Now I tried to use it yesterday and downloaded the epg ok no problems. I can watch old recorded programs ok and it all seems to be working ok.
Except for Live TV ! when i select this the screen goes blank for ages and then I sometimes get sound ! but so far no matter how long i leave it .... no picture.
I have not altered anything since last use and even the little acorn PC that is my media centre has been off all that time as well so no changes there either.
Can Anyone suggest where I start to solve this please?
at 9:00pm NRECORD started recording "Last Comic Standing", recording id 3953:

then at about 9:08pm I decide to clean house on the completed "America's Got Talent" recordings that have all been watched, which as always also caused it to reload the recording schedule:

I have no idea what this 'orphan' recording 3839 was, I can't find it in any of the NRECORD logs (the logs fill up too much with GetQuality() messages), but when it thought it was stopping that it actually tore down the graph for "Last Comic Standing". The 2 hour recording is only 8 minutes and 30 seconds long (and it was timestamped at 9:08pm).
I deleted a couple more recordings, and each time the same orphan recording 3839 shows up at the end of the reload.
When 11:00pm rolled around, it still thought it was recording 3953, and it thinks it ends that without incident (along with a Seinfeld (3903) that started at 10:30pm):

I *think* restarting the recording service will get rid of this ghost-of-recordings-past 3839, but this sort of housekeeping shouldn't tear down the graph of a current recording.
I am pleased to release SearchLite, a small search plugin for N-PVR. It uses the NEWA search engine to search your EPG and also queries TVDb.com and TMDB.org to get television and movie program information and artwork.
This is a public beta and I am looking for more feedback on way to improve. Feel free to update the wiki. It currently is supported by the Default, BRVE+, and Wave skins.
Thanks to the many people that have provided alpha testing and useful suggestions, and also to UJB for his wonderful NEWA Web Service that made this possible.
Note that I believe there is a scheduling bug in the current version of N-PVR that causes canceled records from SearchLite, NEWA or the EPG to crash the Recording service.
Anyone else having problems with updating the EPG via MC2XML using Microsoft Legacy? I keep getting 'no new data available' even though it's been 4 days since the last update. This on 2 machines. I'm not sure if it's an MC2XML problem or a microsoft.com problem. If I delete the .dat file, it, of course, creates and new one and give me an updated guide. So, why won't it update something 4 days old?
My PC's motherboard died and I had to reinstall all my applications.
I did a clean install fo PVRX2 version 1.47. I have a Hauppauge 2250 card and two Hauppauge 1600 cards. I've been taking it one step at a time. So far I have only configured one tuner on the 2250 card for Clear QAM and mapped it to the appropriate channels. I was able to successfully watch the channels using WinTV.
From GBPVR's config, I can view and listen to the channel when I map them to the station channels.
I then went into TV Guide and tried to WATCH one of the mapped channels and I get an error saying that "No tuner is available".
I do notice that there are entries in the Task Manager's Processes list that I don't remember seeing before. Are these responsible for me not being able to use the capture card?
But the same problems appear in the new version on my system. I believe the problems are related, and since it is easier to test and recover from failures in LiveTV this is where I am focusing my efforts. Just to review, I am using an HDHR configured as ATSC/OTA and I have completely reinstalled my Windows 7 Ultimate system from scratch.
The first time I run LiveTV everything runs perfectly. If I escape out and then go back into LiveTV, I always get the message "Failed to communicate with recording service" even though the recording service is still running. If I try a third time, I get the message "Failed to start stream". If I restart the recording service, then LiveTV works again (but only once). I have attached my log files and was hoping you would have a minute to look at them.
The first instance of LiveTV in the logs looks like this:
The second one (which is a different channel) is much shorter and appears to me not to try to tune the channel (there is no <tuning> section in the log for this entry):
It seems that this new release tried to move to "Line 21 Decoder 2" per my request, but I can't get it to display closed captions at all. The right-click menu option is there, but selecting it or pressing Ctrl+x doesn't seem to do anything. From looking at the filter graph, it looks like the output of "Line 21 Decoder 2" isn't connected to anything, which I'm guessing is related to the problem. Also, the "NPVR CC Dump" isn't connected to anything whatsoever, and there seem to be a lot of unneeded ffdshow audio decoders in there. (The actual audio content is in AC3 format and being handled by AC3Filter, so the ffdshow instances are there to handle the audio formats not in the file or something?) I don't think they hurt anything, but it looks like quite a mess. I wish I'd thought to take a look at the graph more before I upgraded so that I could compare, but I didn't, so I'd need to try to downgrade in order to see how it worked before.
Filter graph screenshot from GraphStudio attached. Thank you so much.
