NPVR does not support SRT files. Is there any way to get MVPMCX2 to display them?

I am still trying to get finish a build that I started many months ago. I can record 2 HD channels and only load the CPU 15%. But when I watch a HD signal (TV or recorded) it load 80%+. I added the ASUS ENG240 video card and it was an improvement in quality from using the onboard graphics.

I was hoping that the video card would take more of the loading. It may be that I still have not configured it correctly. Should I expect this high of the CPU loading? I would appreciate any suggestions as how I could improve performance.

I managed to get s-video working in pvrx2 with this card... There seem to be less options with NPVR although it is WAY easier to setup now. Anyways I was wondering if anyone could help a noob out? I got it to find all my regular channels, just not the s-video input.

A couple of requests for the NPVR tray icon...

1. Some indicator that NPVR is recording. GBPVR used to turn green during recording. NPVR seems to stay black all the time.

2. In the Show Status display, allow the option of right clicking to cancel a recording in progress.

3. Add a "restart recording service" option to the right click tray menu. Occasionally I'll accidentally stop the service from the task menu, or some other activity, or just want to restart it without rebooting my computer.

4. Add a direct "Settings" option to the tray menu.

5. Add an option to go directly to the TV Guide when starting NPVR.

Thanks,

Hi Sub
IS there any tv channel, epg data on the popcorn like you had in GBPVR when you hit the green button.
This allowed you to have a simple view of the channels and what was on. You where then able to select that any channel.
Great work!

Let's say I set my recording directory to:

D:\npvr\

If I record "Survivor" it creates the file in a subfolder:

D:\npvr\survivor\survivorxxx.ts

I want it to save all shows in the root of that folder:

D:\npvr\survivorxxx.ts

How do I get NPVR to save all recordings to the root of my defined folder? The current subfolder approach won't work well with my batch processing.

Thanks,

Anthony

I am trying to use graphstudio to remote connect to GBPVR, but when I click on remote connect, there are no entries listed to connect too.

I use to have this working, but I recently had to rebuild my computer. I am running Win7 and I copied proppage.dll into windows\system32 and ran regsvr32 on it. Is there something else that needs to be done to enable GBPVR for remote connect?

I am trying to figure out why I can't play my MKV files now with my new system. I had them working on my old Win7 computer. They play fine if render them with graphstudio directly or if I play them on a NMT. When I play them through GBPVR, they are real jerky and my computer performance is terrible.

Hi,

Noticed what is either a bug or my breaking something else. My EPG is made up of XML and DVB EPG. When I skip to the end of the programme listings (14 days into the distant future), and then try and go back, the TV Guide is empty. As in it shows no listing at all.

Also related, if you stay on TV Guide, the pointer to the time on the guide doesn't seem to move. Exiting and coming back in fixes it, so I think it must need a refresh every couple of minutes (said as a person with no sense of the effort this all takes of course).

I hope you want us to tell you these things sub, realising that it is a beta, just trying to spot any little niggles. Just expecting that at some point I will find my account blocked with all these posts!

I've released an early alpha version of the NMTInstall program for N-PVR.

http://www.nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php?...stall2.exe

There are updates for the scripts etc to use N-PVR. instead of GB-PVR on the links, other file (GB-PVR.html and gbpvr.cgi) should not be touched. It should also not touch startmeup, but you
might want to back it up.

Optional install features

- download and install NPVRSetup and .dotnet 2.
- patch NextPVR.exe to start at port 5916 for zero configuration install
- download and install VS2008 runtime
- download and install Directx runtime,

As N-PVR begins to overtake GB-PVR in use, I will be updating the Dummies Guide etc, mvpmcx2 is largely unchanged so most of the work is in installing N-PVR

Don't forget to check your firewall for NMT requirements (NMTInstall will try to configure the Windows firewall if selected).

- NRecord.exe permit TCP and UPD for the local LAN
- NextPVR.exe permit TCP

Note that due to the beta nature of N-PVR I am not downloading or installing updates or plugins/skins at this point.

Good Luck and Happy Canada Day (July 1)

I have uploaded a new version of the Web Radio Base http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/uploads/Plugin/NWebRadio.zip to deal with some changes that SHOUTcast introduced with their new version 2.0. The main issue is their web servers are sending an RSS feed format on some occasions. Because WebRadio 2 and 3.0 do not recognize this format, the list would appear empty.

If you encounter any problems with Shoutcast files, please compress and upload the Shoutcast.com.genre.xml file from your temp folder, with your logs and I will verify that Web Radio is parsing it correctly.

In addition there are a few list improvements navigating large list.

- navigate by percent on keyboard or remote (ie 0 = top, 1= 10%, 5 = 50%)
- location in some lists is preserved as you back out.
- Page Up/Down will now cycle around the lists
