nPVR is running configured on the server. nPVR is running in clientmode on a workstation. Pathes are doublechecked (i use the same, which i am using with GB-PVR atm). Firewall is disabled and machines are restarted.
Every time i try to start live tv from the client, i geht the message "unable to find capture device" on the client. The pointing to database is working. What could this be? The logs are really quiet about this and says nothing important / related.
Btw., i don't think that it is a good idea to put the nPVR data folder into the public one of windows 7. To get client / server mode working, i have to open the sharing for all public folders. Another problem is, that the entry \\hushpc\NPVR for the database could be misunderstanding. The path under windows 7 is \\<server\users\public\NPVR (and that is why i dislike the placement of this data into this folder. i can not control the sharing only for this folder.)
And the 2nd problem is currently, if someone mistypes this path and nPVR (client) will not find the database of the server, then the only option to "repair" this is to open the config.xml file and put the path inside. If you try to change the path after this error within the client nPVR, then the setting will NOT be saved (it's using no database). This should at least changed, so that after an error like not finding the server database, the local one will be used.
I just purchased a Mygica X8550A tuner card. See a description here: http://www.meritline.com/mygica-x8550a-p...36181.aspx (I got mine off Ebay, but it's the same.) It has component connections in addition to a QAM/ATSC tuner. Is there any way I can get an HD signal from my STB using the component connectors with either GBPVR or NPVR? I think I can't with GBPVR, but I was hoping I would be able to with NPVR if I installed that.
I set up my W7 laptop as a npvr client. I can get the guide off the server but cant do much else. When I try live tv it hangs for a while then I get a black screen. Same with trying to view a recording. The logs are attached for the recording viewing. I can view the file from VLC so the share should be OK. All my recordings are on the D drive of the server if that makes any difference. I was able to schedule a recording from the client and see it pending on the server.
When trying FM radio, I only hear a sound for a split second then nothing. The temp file shows radio is continuing as it grows. Status shows the analog tuner playing radio. There are no other sound problems that I am having.
Logs attached.
My EPG update last night resulted in no pending recordings at all. Everything else looks ok, it just found nothing to record after updating the EPG; the TV Guide was fully populated. I then forced an EPG update from Settings, and then all my pending recordings came back.
The possible bit of good news is that it did reload the recording schedule after the EPG update, which was the missing bit before, but it just had nothing to reload.
The NRECORD and NPVR logs are attached. The sequence is that the epg update went at 3:00am, and to me everything looks ok. It then reloaded the recording schedule at 3:01:17:
Code:
2010-08-07 03:01:17.030 [DEBUG][6] Reloading recording schedule
2010-08-07 03:01:17.032 [DEBUG][6] Requesting wake up for 'RecordingOID3651' at 8/7/2010 2:58 AM
But the only recording left in the schedule now is the one that's already in progress... the rest are gone.
Then this morning at 9:34am when I looked at it I decided to try my old trick of deleteing a recording to 'kick' the recording service and force a reload. It dutifully did reload the schedule again, but now there's nothing at all to reload.
So then I ran the EPG update from Settings at 9:39am, and now it finally repopulated the pending recordings and properly reloaded the recording schedule.
I've searched but am unable to spot the channel changer setting in the xml files.
I am trying to setup my STB and FM. The changer exe is pulling into the FM device settings when it's not needed. I am unable to use the delete button or the backspace to clear this.
So this is my first go at a media center. I haven't got all the lingo down but i am computer hardware savvy so i thought id give this a try. Here is the issue i am having:
I recently installed a new build with a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1600 ATSC/ClearQAM/NTSC TV Tuner. I currently have WOW digital cable with a box. I ran the coax cable to one of the tuners that are on that card and ran through the initial setup guide for DVB . Once i setup that i scan channels and nothing is found.
I know this is probably a trivial problem but like i said i am new to the whole cable through the computer concept. Thanks for your help
