Just a quick note, when I pause TV or files they don't continue/restart when I press play or pause again. I have to press skip/ffwd to get the video playing again. I tend to pause TV then skip adverts,then hit play again.
I guess a lot of the plugin Devs will be asked this, but as Xrecord has been my favourite daily-use plugin since I first discovered GBPVR several years ago, is it likely (hopeful :-)) to be ported to NPV?
I have a dvb-t and I can see the free channels, but not the rest.
Am I missing something obvious here?
* It does work in Gbpvr.
* The ffdecsa.dll is placed in "program files (x86)\NPVR"
* I have copied the content in "..gbpvr\MDplugins" (acamd) to c:\users\public\MDplugins\[card] folder (except mdapifilter.ax).
* The device is set to Multidec.
But the screen stays black and there is no connection with the server at all.
The recording log have a lot of epg info but nothing that is different from the working channels.
What have I missed?
Last, little on the side, I have two small cosmetic bugs to report.
* The progress popup-dialog for scanning dvb-t is not adapted for large dpi.
* When you start to scan, the OK button is enabled and work as Cancel.
I should probably start by saying that I am new to NPVR, and have never installed GB-PVR. Instead I plunged straight into NPVR understanding that it is beta, and without âcarried-forwardâ files. I found the installation straight forward; maybe too straight-forward given whatâs happened.
I have:
read through the user manual, installed vcredist x86.zip, installed NPVR, configured the system including tuning my Hauppauge Nova T 500 (not the TD as I think was the device identified during the install) , searched the forums, and tried the various codec(settings/decoders). I have also tried Live TV, Watch, and Open File playback with the results below. From what has happened I suspect the codec but thought I might save myself some grief, if before I start fooling around, I get some expert help. As a bit of extra info; I have/can use WinTV v7 (with ArcSoft ASAudio.ax and ASVid.ax), PowerCinema 5 to watch/record DVB. Yes, both are still installed but were not running. I use Vista Ultimate (kept up to date), and meet the minimum computer system requirements.
Live TV
No video or audio. I have tried various codec combinations.
With some I get â...please wait...â and then the system goes ânot respondingâ. On other occaisions I get a black screen (on one of my tries the channel indicator showed that I was able to change channels). Iâve had âdevice failed to startâ but I cannot recreate this at the moment. You get the idea!
TV Guide
No video or audio with âwatchâ.
Record seems to work OK as I can playback with PowerDVD9 and WinTV v7 but not with âopen filesâ.
I have the utility InstalledCodec installed and can give you further details if required.
Sorry if this post is too verbose and contrary to protcol. I was unsure of how much detail you would need.
I thought I'd provide a status report on whether I'd back port Web Radio 3.0 for 1.4.7 and the short answer is "I'm not sure". NPVR video playback on the PCH for me is currently useless so I am torn, since I've written what I think is a nice enhancement that realistically I can't even use and I don't really know when this will change. PCH support is not sub's priority, and that's fine with me because it is his project, but GBPVR does take my time if have to create a 1.4.7 plugin, I will just postpone further support for NPVR until there is a stable NMT client.
The patch for the HVR1800 worked for me to get my scans. Thanks. Now I am getting a black screen when I select a known good frequency from the guide. Logs are complaining about a missing DLL?
