As well as GBPVR worked, it didn't always play nice with my tuners. During a scan, sometimes it would find all the channels, sometimes it would just find some of them, other times it would find none.
Occasionally too, even if it had scanned successfully and been working fine, one tuner would just stop working.
I'm not sure what's different about NPVR internally, but none of these problems seem to happen any more. So far, NPVR is outperforming GBPVR in regards to tuner stability. I have a pair of Twinhan AD-SP200 DVB-S tuners and a couple of THESE tuners, (although currently I have only one in use).
This all adds up to a much more stable environment for me - so good work Sub!
Anyone having issues with MC2XML? I use the "legacy" support and can't seem to get a good xml file anymore. I tried schedules direct for testing, and it worked. But since nPVR is not SD friendly yet (hopefully in the future??) I have to process it with MC2XML and I get an empty guide. It does not even parse out many listings. My cable system recently remapped, but even with new tuners added, I can't get guide data.
Under the cover view for the videos library, is the data from a .xml file supposed to show up on the default skin? I get the video details when in list view but don't see an image and I can see the image in cover view but it does not show the movie details.
I've just had to add a PVR500 into my server as I'm missing a DVBT mux at my new house and want to get a few channels from analogue now to fill in.
All the DVB channels have always played fine on the PC client via file sharing, but the new analogue channels are stop-start stuttering and are unwatchable.
They work fine in streaming mode, but filesharing mode has been my prefered option until now.
I've tried increasing livetvpredelay to 5000 in both the client and server, and also lowered the quality in the PVR500 capture source set up - neither did anything.
The analogue channels play fine in the server in both live preview and timeshift mode.
NPVR 1.5.21 apparently installs OK on my Win7 64-bit machine, but I only see the icon in the tray. When I right-click on it, I do not see the "settings" menu. The NextPVR.exe process shows up OK in the task manager, and the service is running. I tried your alternate NUtility, but that did not fix it. http://forums.gbpvr.com//attachment.php?...1276653809
Also, when I tried to "ReRegister filters", all I got was a series of error messages that the modules would not load, though I don't know if that is related to the first problem or not.
Thank you so much for bringing back VMR7. I couldn't get vmr9 to play as smoothly on my old single core XP machine. Playback of H264 files is great and I get hardware acceleration with my nvida board. However, when I playback a .mpg file, I'm not getting hardware acceleration. Currently using the nvidia purevideo decoder for .mpg content and the cyberlink h264 decoder for .m2ts (h264) content.
BTW, does anyone have problems with .ts playback with a .h264 and 5.1 ac3 in npvr/gbpvr. I don't seem to get true 5.1, its more like 5.1 downmixed to 2.0 and then played back at 5.1 speakers. The center channel dialog is spread over all 5 speakers. If I play the .ts file with media player classic or windows media player 10, it works just fine. Also, if i remux the file into a .m2ts and play that file, the audio is just fine in npvr/gbpvr and WMP. Currently using cyberlink 7 audio decoder, but have also tried ac3filter with the same results.
One other thing, (you probably already know this) if I set the recording option to new style then set the startup option to pending, it doesn't stay that way on the following npvr restarts.
I'm trying to view these files in the video library but the screen goes blank for a split second and then goes back to the menu. I am able to play them in windows media player fine but not in npvr. I've changed to all the different decoders available but none seem to work. Not sure what else to try. Thanks.
edit: These are files created by a digital camcorder that I copied over the the PC.
Recently got a cheap MCE remote from eBay and want to setup my logitech harmony 555 remote to control npvr. Obviously my no name far east remote isn't listed in the logitech database.
Can anyone help and name a few makes and models of MCE remotes that are proven to work with npvr?
