Hi, I've just installed N.PVR 1.5.19. Is there any way to get it to support the PCTV 301c in analog tuner mode?

Regards,
Melvin

So if I have channel 2 (sd) and 2.1 (hi-def), how does that work with the channel guide? does gb-pvr merge them and then record from the best source available?

Hi

I've been successfully using DVBGuide to generate DVB-S XMLTV data - see my earlier post.

But....

n-PVR is not always updating the data when scheduled to do so.

My channel mapping sets two epg data sources;

DVB EPG for my DVB-T card

&

XMLTV for my DVB-S cards

If I manually update the EPG Data from the settings - channels page I get all the right show info.

When n-PVR updates at a scheduled time I get DVB EPG data but all show info from XMLTV sources is blank with no show data.

Seems odd when the scheduled setting is using the same XMLTV data and settings as the manual update?

Any ideas please??

Hi There,

Have been doing a bit of testing of this beta and have found the following:

nPVR doesnt save the device setup if the LOF Switch is set to 0.

For the diseq multiswitch i use - the LOF Switch value will be either 0 or 22000.

Optus D1 in my case is 10700 / 22000 / 10700 - this does save and i can scan successfully

Optus D2 in my case is 10700 / 0 / 10700 - this never saves and never scans successfully.

nPVR effectively wipes all those settings and when i next go into the device setup again - everything is 11300 / 11300 / 11300 (note the LOF Switch is 11300).

Also i cant seem to get nPVR to save multiple satellites when i use the diseq 1.x A/B/C/D under type specific settings.

Hope this helps others - maybe just test the parameters under the single lnb option - and wait for the next build maybe for this to be resolved

So far this is the only major issue ive found.

Hi,

Whilst I wait for all the bells and whistles to appear in NPVR, just wanted to set up a new USB tuner for GBPVR.

It isn't in the BDA.ini so I will need to update. I have added the filter check log file. It is the UB-450 T. This is what I thought I would need to put into the BDA.ini but it doesn't work:

[UB450-T]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
FILTER_RECEIVER=UB450-T
FILTER_CAPTURE=UB450-T Capture Filter
PIN_RECEIVER_IN=Input0
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=Input0
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=Output1

Any ideas?

hello martin, very nice job with webradio 3.0 that was fast and kind of what pushed me over the edge to start trying npvr.

ive added the sirius channels that you helped out with in another post but when i go to play one i get a popup that says no external player defined.

i havent installed uburecording service or vlc either, both of which were needed in webradio 2. are these required or where can i define the external player vlc.
Thanks Ryan

I'm able to use 1 keyboard and mouse to share the monitors of 2 systems by using Synergy. Works great, is free and I get rid of a keyboard and mouse for one system. Simple as moving the mouse from one to other.
But, I want to check into using the 2 monitors together with both systems. I think I need a KVM switch to do this but I'm curious if anyone is doing this and if so, what's the best way.
Ideas anyone?

Hi Everyone,

I seem to have a query about how to setup all the satellites in nPVR.

I have a Torodial T90 which is then hooked up to a multiswitch.

My problem is that there are 8 inputs to the multiswitch (4 H/V combinations of 22khz on/off).

As there are 8 inputs - there could theoretically be 8 separate satellites being input.

With the current nPVR device method of created a mapping - if i choose Diseq A & B - i only get chose of 2 satellites. If i choose Diseq 1.1 it gives me choice of 4 Satellites. It would be good if there was a CUSTOM option rather than having to choose one of the pre-defined combinations of single lnb/ diseq 1 / diseq 1.1.

If i used all dual output lnbs - then 4 satellites would fill the multiswitch - however i only have dual output lnbs for Optus D1 & D2 and the rest of the satellites i can access are single inputs into the multiswitch.

How can i mimic the setup as per GBPVR?

Under GBPVR - each satellite card i have has several capture sources - mainly for the EPG side of things (however i see nPVR you can map EPG per channel now rather than per capture source which is great btw).

However I could have a capture source for each satellite, and adjust the H/V and 22khz to get it to the right input.

for example.

OPTUS D1 could be say 10700 LO1 / 0 SW / 10700 LO2 / diseq A (both V and H)

OPTUS C1 could be say 10750 LO1 / 22000 SW / 10750 LO2 / diseq B (V only)
IS8 could be say 11300 LO1 / 22000 SW / 11300 LO2 / diseq B (H only)

thereofre C1 and IS8 use one of the multiswitches satellite slots.

This is also the case for AS4 and IS5 (not currently in use now that only C band).

Im sure this is definitely the exception - but from what i can see of the device setup under nPVR, i will essentially lose the ability to access all the satellites i can currently access under GBPVR.

If anyone has a good workaround - im ready to hear

I know that nPVR is only in beta - so this isnt urgent - but until i can get access to all the satellites i have the ability to access under GBPVR, i would be somewhat hesitant to upgrade when it becomes RTM code.

From what ive seen of nPVR so far - its looking great however

When I browse the folders from the Video Library I see metadata for some folders but not for all.
But all have folder.xml and series.xml and I can't see the difference between them.
What kind of metafile do Npvr go for first?

Maybe I'm blind but I don't see a way to enable it in the UI and don't find it in the normal places.
