I have a dual tuner HPVR-2200 detected as Hauppauge WinTV-7164 BDA DVBT Tuner.
There are 2 scheduled recordings each with 1min pre-padding and 5min post-padding they are on different digital frequencies.
Programme 1 finishes at 20:30 but should record until 20:35
Programme 2 starts at 20:30 but should start recording at 20:29
Instead of Programme 2 being recorded on a different tuner, it appears the two programmes are recorded on the same tuner and there is no post-padding on Programme 1 and no pre-padding on Programme 2
The real problem is that I missed the last minute or so of Dr Who
Is there a way to force the scheduled recording to use a particular tuner?

Hi sub,
If you've got a minute, could you look over the following for me. It relates to the "Update EPG" command I have in the System plugin...
What I have seems to work (most of the time), but I'd just like to know I've done it the way you'd expect. The few problems I've seen relate to quitting while an update is in progress, or trying to record/tune live tv at the same time. Part of the problem is I'm developing with a different hardware/OS setup compared to what I've had stable for years with GBPVR, so I'm never sure whether problems are related to my setup, or nPVR's beta status, etc.
Stripping away the crud leaves:
Code:
class NSystemStatus : EPGManager.IEPGUpdateCallback
{
void UpdateEPG()
{
new Thread(EPGRunner).Start();
}
void EPGRunner()
{
EPGManager epg = new EPGManager();
epg.UpdateEPG(this);
}
public bool SetEPGUpdateStatus(string status)
{
// Display the status message...
return true;
}
}
I found it had to be done in another thread otherwise nPVR just hung while it ran.
There are references to EPG related things elsewhere in the libraries but this looked like the best way of doing it.
Is is ok to create a new EPGManager like that, or should I be retrieving one from elsewhere (factory method or somesuch)?
I know you have been mighty busy developing this release and some of these may be things that you simply havent had time to look at yet - so forgive me if they are - I thought I would list them just in case as they are things that I found to be really useful in GBPVR.
In the past we could use the Channel Up/Down keys to do Page Up / Page Down in the Video List screen. This no longer seems to work. It made searching through a video list much easier. At the moment we have to toggle through the list one at a time. Or did I miss something - should this still work ?
I cannot see a delete option in the Video List screen. As I use the Video List Screen to manage my videos and recordings this is sorely missed. Have we lost this feature ?
Each time I watch AVI and MKV files from the Video List Screen I need to reselect the Aspect Ratio to Auto. Can the system be setup to default to Auto ? I am using a 4:3 TV with the 4:3 setting selected under Settings >> General.
In the past we could define default pre and post padding so that we would not need to define it every time we did a recording. Can we have this back please ?
Hi I have had GBPVR running for several years using MVP's with no issues. I have recently upgrading one to a PCH A-110. I have got GBPVR running on the box but when I try to access my Shared folders on my WHS it just sits trying to connect but then fails. It shows no messages. I tried setting up a share on my GBPVR server and I have access to this. I have access to all folders from GBPVR on the server and from my existing MVP's. I have enabled guest access with no password on the WHS. Any suggestions?
1) record, during live viewing, or recorded playback:
whenever users press certain remote buttons, like MUTE/UNMUTE, FFWD, PAUSE, etc, that might indicate that a commercial break has just happened
what channel they were watching
the exact time they pressed the button (relative to the programme screening time)
a unique identifier for the programme, such as the Country+Channel+Title+Description.
2) upload that info to a central internet server, where it is aggregated with all other users data, to produce a master schedule, including the most likely places commercials started and ended. Various factors could weight the results, e.g. MUTE buttons being more likely to indicate the start of a commercial; or somehow "learning" which users are more accurate than others.
3) download that data and use it instead of, or alongside, Comskip-type file-scanning software.
4) sync'd to the same clock.
The more people take part, the more accurate the data becomes.
And once the server is established, there's probably no reason why it couldn't be used for downloading/uploading schedules too.
I imagine it would be per-country based.
Unfortunately, I'm in no position to help implement any of this. But I thought I'd throw the idea out there, in case anyone wants to pick it up.
Hi, is there any guide to using an iMon VFD and Remote package?
I see there is an iMon VFD plugin, but it's the remote that I've never really made use of. I vaguely recall it may be a matter of setting up a whole lot of key mappings and using a 3rd-party plugin, but hazy on the details now.
Also I'm currently on 1.4.7, but will solution(s) for 1.4.7 also work for NPVR?
are there play events like in gbpvr yet? [for Imon plugin display]
i figured i'd have to rewrite it but hadn't seen anything about the events which it relies upon..
all my machines have vfd's and i just got drive temperature display working on them..
also, what was the new remote post-message code and is the keylist the same?
thanx
Quote:(I was thinking of running it through a TS fixer program after the audio was done as I hardly watch anything in progress or live)
I was thinking of post-processing my recordings through some sort of TS Fixer, as I sometimes get timeline corruption due to some minor signal glitch. So may I ask what program you were thinking of JohnnyCam, or what program anyone else might recommend?
