I am trying to install NPVR 4.1.0 on a ASRock HTPC that is running Vista32 Ultimate. I have SP2 installed as well as .NET 4.6.1.
I am getting the below errors.
This HTPC is used for watching recordings. My ither main PC is running Windows 10 and is recording and working fine with NPVR 4.1.0.
I am wondering if this is a Vista issue.

Please can a button (or the word 'Guide') be added in live TV say in the top-left of the screen (which appears when the mouse pointer is moved in the live TV screen) so when pressed with the mouse it displays the TV Guide in live TV, rather than pressing F1.
If this can be done already by configuring a file, can you please advise how to do it ?
Also, when in full screen in live TV can a minimise, maximise and close buttons be added to the top-right which appears when the mouse pointer is moved (like in WMC), please ?
The Keyword Record facility is very useful for scheduling recordings which don't yet appear in the EPG. However it has one annoying quirk: it schedules recordings that match the desired keyword anywhere. It would be useful if there were two separate fields - one to say "only look for the keyword in the programme or episode title" and another to say "also look in the plot summary and other metadata". This would save a lot of false-alarm recordings - for example if you want to record all forthcoming "Carry On" films, you probably don't also want to record totally unrelated programmes that happen to include the phrase "carry on" in the plot summary ;-)
Please post any support issues in the support forum. Support questions posted in this thread will be deleted.
A key thing to not with this release is that it is no longer compatible with XP. The application is now using .NET 4.6. It should prompt to download and install this if you do not have it.
Changes:
Quote:- No longer compatible with XP. Now using VS2017 and .NET 4.6.
- fixed issue where playback would freeze if you tried to resume after being paused and you'd paused longer than the buffer.
- fixed an issue where OSD graphics wouldn't update with EVR video renderer while video is paused.
- fixed issue with recording shows that started with a complete windows reserved like "con".
- fixed issue with Microsoft DTV-DVD Audio Decoder with AAC which could cause crash.
- fixed a bug with downloading m3u8 keys from relative web paths
- added support for handling .ts files that lose 188 byte alignment mid file.
- fixed minor grid align issue in modern web app tv guide.
- improved the speed when deleting large number of channels
- improved the speed when saving large number of channels
- added a tickbox to control whether IPTV VOD channels and groups are sent to Kodi. (on Settings->Clients screen)
- fixed bug where re-imported recordings could have wrong date/time
- fixed an issue with playing back ts files that include a clock wrap-around
- now using timing.info in new reader if file is available
- improved detection of .ts file playback duration (when timing.info not available)
- fixed issue where HDHR Prime could generate broken recording with incorrect PAT at beginning of file.
- fixed an issue where LAV video decoder could show partial MPEG2 frames when playback starts before it gets an I-Frame
- fixed issue where 'unmute' in context menu was not working.
- increased timeout when downloading xmltv guide over http, since some IPTV providers are pretty slow at providing this
- fixed a bug that could cause NRecord.exe to crash if NDigitalHost.exe had crashed.
- fixed minor memory leak with IPTV or CableCard devices.
- fixed issue where sometimes OnDemand playback would report duration of zero, and user wouldn't be able to skip
- added an option to display just the channel name in the left column of the TV guide (see Settings->Misc2), since many IPTV users have long channel names, and no interest in the channel numbers. The original guide style would often show the name truncated to something unidentiable from the other channels around it.
- added ProcAmp support for analog devices, for those that need to tweak contrast/brightness etc.
- now remembers and auto selects the last caption/subtitle option, for those users that prefer to leave captions enabled all the time
- now possible to change font used for teletext by editing <TeletextFontName> in config.xml
- added a new <If> directive for skins, to accommodate more complex requests I was getting from users
- added a couple more guide channel header styles, and now dynamically sizing the main guide to accommodate header styles that use less space
- added a setting to remember the TV Guide last channel selection
- further improvements for compatibility with quirks of some IPTV providers
I've been using WMC originally in Windows Vista, then in Windows 7 and 8.1 for as long as I can remember. Unfortunately as everyone knows Microsoft ditched WMC and now I'm looking for a solution to replace. I think I've decided Kodi with a NPVR back end seems to make the most sense.
I took one of my machines and fresh installed Windows 10 on it to try to get this solution working, and I'm pulling my hair out because nothing I can find on the internet seems to work.
I have both HDHomeRun Prime and Ceton InfiniTV tuners, but I am only trying to setup the INFINITV tuner for now... I'll get to the others later. It is an Infinitv 6 ETH.
Here's what I've done...
Installed the Ceton InfiniTV drivers.
I've installed the latest NPVR software 4.0.5.
I've installed the LAV codecs.
I used the devices tab in NPVR to run "device setup" on each of the tuners, they each found 946 channels (it shows 6 "DRI" Ceton Tuners).
On the decoders tab I set everything to LAV.
Changed the recording and buffer directory to my D: drive since that's a 1 TB.
I open NPVR and the guide shows every channel 6 times (I assume I can fix that later), but nothing will play. If I select "Watch" on a channel, or select "Live TV" then I get a "...please wait..." that appears for about 1 second and then nothing happens.
I've tried to follow every wiki and every guide and every forum post, but no amount of searching on this forum or google seems to find anything that works.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything, deleting and re setting up everything, but nothing changed.
I attached my whole logs directory.
I want to enable the read-only mode of X-NEWA so that its Delete and Cancel buttons are disabled so that I don't accidentally delete or cancel a recording from one of the Kodi clients.
How do I do that?
From what I've found on the forums so far, I think I have to add the following lines to the x-newa.ini file:
Code:
[XNEWA]
readonly = yes
However, I can't seem to find the x-newa.ini file. Where is it? If I have to create it myself, where do I put it?
I downloaded the latest NPVR and tried to set it up like i had done previously on an earlier machine. I also downloaded the LAV filters as instructed in a forum post "You can download the commonly used LAV decoders from https://github.com/Nevcairiel/LAVFil...-Installer.exe.". My problem is that the LAV decoders do not show up in the Drop down boxes on the Decoders page. Clicking on the box containing the three dots to the right of the drop down (which I suspect should create a "Browse" menu) does nothing. How do I get the LAV Decoders into the NPVR program?
