I am trying to upgrade my home router to a Linksys E3000. I have been using a linksys WRT-54G. After installing the new router and rebooting my PC that runs my GBPVR server, neither of my NMT devices would no longer connect. They display the index.htm that is on my GBPVR server share, but when I choose to connect to GBPVR the screen goes blank. It eventually (after about 45 seconds) returns back to my index.htm.
One of the odd things I saw was that I was able to connect with NMT to the PC immediately after installing the router, but this changed after I rebooted my PC.
This is a wired connection. My GBPVR PC is using a static IP. Reinstalling my old router seems corrects the problem.
I know this probably an issue with router setup. I am hoping someone else has had a similar situation and may be able to give some advice. Most of the security settings that I am familiar with are related to the wireless portion of the router. I never expected to have issues with the wired LAN aspect.
I'm using GBPVR 1.4.7 on XP SP3 with PVR-150 drivers 2.0.48.25037. I've run VCREDIST.
I can't get any audio using the composite + phono inputs. Searching on the web, there are lots of references to audio problems with the PVR-150, some going as far back as 2005.
VLC doesn't give audio either, so I assume it's a driver problem. The PVR-150 doesn't explicitly appear as an audio option in the VLC setup.
There's such a fog of information on this, I wondered if anybody here has the definitive answer please.
Just a quick question: Is it possible to use absolutely positions for images within skins of nPVR? I started to "reactivate" my old WiP Skin and want to port it to nPVR.
But the procentual positions are not good and precise enough for me, so that the skin isn't looking well (enough for me) atm. I would need a pixelprecise mapping.
PS: Did i overlooked any kind of documentation for nPVR skinning?
I think this may be something that sub already knows about, but I wanted to check and I guess see if it was on a to-do list somewhere.
When using GB-PVR with my HVR-1600 digital recordings with the dvr-ms mux, commercial detection worked really well. I recently switched to a HDHomeRun, but I needed to switch to the TS mux to get that to work. With the TS files from the HDHomeRun, it seems to jump early, like skipping over the last 5-10 seconds of show and resuming with 5-10 seconds of commercial left. I think the comskip files are correct, and it's just not matching them up with the playback right. I know that sub had said something at some point about not being able to know where one was in TS files as easily. So, I tried postprocessing with ffmpeg to turn the TS file into an MPEG PS file, which seemed to play just fine, but surprisingly to me had the same issues in the same way with the skipping not being quite right.
So, I've been trying to switch to NPVR, hoping that since it's designed from the ground up to work with TS files, that it would work better. But it seems to be the same. Where it skips just doesn't quite match up with where the commercials are.
I am a programmer, but I don't really know about the internals of MPEG, but I'm curious what's so hard about taking a frame number from the output of comskip and seeing when that frame number comes up. But I'm sure it must just be much more complicated than that.
I guess my questions are just (1) is this on the list of things to be worked on, (2) would there be any log files or comskip files or anything that I should attach to see if there's something I'm doing wrong, and (3) is there any way I could help this get fixed?
:oI stupidly installed the Twinhan VP-1020A drivers for my Twinhan AD-SP400; and after that the card can't even alternate power between polarizations; it can just come on and shut down (I know this because I have a small satellite finder attached). NOTE: I have since unistalled and installed original drivers of the versions; changed PC; and operating systems - I'm now Win7. Thanks in advance for your inputs.

For those of you using a Hauppauge 45 button remote, as I am, I'm posting several sections of my IRREMOTE.INI file that I've tested to work with StreamIt. Here they are:
[Microsoft Internet Explorer]
;This is Kiosk or Windowed mode in the Netflix StreamIt Plugin
GRNPOWER={alt}{f4}
OK={enter}
;Pause and start trickplay mode (Will also resume playing if pressed while paused)
REWIND={ctrl}{left}
PLAY={space}
;Start trickplay mode and fast forward (can be initiated while playing or while paused)
FASTFWD={ctrl}{right}
;Step backwards (only works while in trickplay mode)
SKIPREV={left}
PAUSE={space}
;Step forward (only works while in trickplay mode)
SKIPFWD={right}
;Used to change from Kiosk/Windowed to Fullscreen Mode
BLUE=f
[Microsoft Silverlight]
;This is full screen mode in the Netflix StreamIt Plugin
GRNPOWER={alt}{f4}
OK={enter}
BACK={esc}
;Pause and start trickplay mode (Will also resume playing if pressed while paused)
STOP={ctrl}{space}
;Rewind (only works while in trickplay mode)
REWIND={ctrl}{left}
PLAY={space}
;Fast forward (only works while in trickplay mode)
FASTFWD={ctrl}{right}
;Step backwards (only works while in trickplay mode)
SKIPREV={left}
PAUSE={space}
;Step forward (only works while in trickplay mode)
SKIPFWD={right}
Make sure you also add the 2 app names to the [Applications] section.
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 ?
