Put a test version of NPVR on my main HTPC today, which also meant my wife has spent some time trying it out too. She has a couple of requests

Will the mini-guide be making a return? With GBPVR, We actually use a slightly customized version of it that makes it identical to the main guide, but overlaid on the picture. Be hard to live without it now.

Could an option be added to reverse the up/down order for the now 'n' next feature? So you could press down to go up a channel. Why? Well as an example... BBC2 comes after BBC1 in the order and in the guide, and it felt wrong to her to be pressing "up" to move to the next channel "down" as seen in the guide (even though logically it's a higher number).

Looking to see if anyone has set up dual Hauppauge tuners and gotten the IR remote working. With one card (PVR350) the IR initializes. With a second card (PVR250) added, the IR will not initialize. I get an error saying that the infrared remote failed to initialize. Starting my search for a solution, but thought I'd throw the question out here.

I'm executing Settings > Channels > Update EPG. This finishes suspiciously fast but without any error message. No data get's imported, TV Guide stays empty.

They same XMLTV data file get's imported by GBPVR correctly.

When I was setting up the Analog Recorder Device I could import the same XMLTV file to get the list of channel names, in the correct order.

What's wrong?

This is with NVPR 1.5.24 on W7 32-bit.

I ran Filmerit after uninstalling both NPVR & GBPVR.
I get a number of errors.

1) NPVR MP3 Reader is still registered, but with a missing Server File.

Now I don't know whether this next one was caused by the uninstallation, as I've been having alot of trouble with getting an HD h.264 codec to play .TS files properly, so have been uninstalling and reinstalling lots of things. So this may not be a NPVR/GBPVR uninstallation issue, but thought I'd mention it:
2) Enhanced Video Renderer has a missing Server File.

I'm assuming error 2) might be rather important for me to fix...or not?

This is what I did:
1) NPVR > Right-click > Open file and selected a .TS file. Picture appeared.
2) GraphStudio > File > Connect to a remote graph. Got a single choice.
3) NPVR > Right-click > Open file and selected a .TS file. No picture, but got sound.
4) GraphStudio > File > Connect to a remote graph. Got two choices.
3) NPVR > Right-click > Open file and selected a .TS file. No picture, but got sound.
4) GraphStudio > File > Connect to a remote graph. Got three choices.
...etc.

Interestingly, when no picture showed, GraphStudio showed that no Video Renderer was connected (nor did it even appear in the graph).
Was using the DivX h.264 codec.

Sub, when you have a chance, could you provide a sample of how to do popup's in NPVR fashion. I can get the popup itself but adding the left buttons to it are a mystery.

Thanks,

Martin

I have a Hauppauge 1800 card, which came with a remote and ir blaster wire/receiver. Somehow I've managed to lose both the wire and the receiver, though, and I can't figure out what to replace it with. Everything I can find either looks shady or says it's only for Vista or Windows 7, and I have XP. I'm not against replacing the remote too, I guess, but I like it fine. I just want something that works!!

I have found the exact remote kit that I have (http://store.hauppauge.com/hardware2.asp...mce_remote), on the Hauppauge site, but it specifically says it's for Vista. Does that even apply to me since I'll be using it with GBPVR and not Media Center? Can anyone recommend something that should work, or give me some pointers about what WON'T work?

Thank you!

I finally got around to trying it out and it works great for zooming 4:3 content, but it kind of zooms to far on the super wide screen content.

Is there any way to mix the "Fill" setting with the new "Remove LetterBox" zoom setting in that it Zooms just enough to fill the screen(no more no less)?

Media Player Classic calls this "Touch Window From Outside".

Thanks for your time!

Hi,

First and foremost: Thank you for the amazing app that just keeps getting better and better!
I spent the better part of today configuring nPVR and it's working like a charm now (at least almost).
Here's what I can do, that Pvrx2 didn't handle:
1) I can now use both tuners (doing this in Pvrx2 resulted in a BSOD 100% of the time)
2) I can record encrypted channels and only one, I can do several!!!
3) I've got a gorgeus new skin (Wave - Thank you Hairy!)

Roses have thorns though...
In earlier versions there was a setting you could put into config.xml to choose epg language. As Finland is a bilingual country, my epg is currenty kinda mix and match of finnish and swedish. Config.xml has changed quite a bit and I was wondering how to configure that now? Or, if the setting is missing, please please add it back.

Second problem is with DVB subtitles, which I can't seem to get displayed. It's not a big deal, but just wondering where nPVR is with this.

Again, thanks for a great piece of software!

How do I make my display normal instead of like pictured?

Using latest beta of npvr, XP Pro, VMR9, nVidia decoders & Hauppauge PVR500 if that matters.
