I've got my system working. I watch TV, record shows, get EPG data, etc. However, I've noticed recently that a lot of my shows are only recording about 10 minutes and then it's over. I suspect it's the computer going to into standby while it's still recording. I'm not entirely sure though, but need help. I know if I'm active on the computer (preventing standby) while a show is recording, it will record the entire time it's supposed to. But if I'm at work when a recording is supposed to happen, it WILL record, but only 10 minutes or so. In the NPVR Settings->Recording, I DO have it checked "Block Shutdown While Recording". I also confirmed that setting in the config.xml file.

Are you freely able to copy the file to be viewed on different devices or are the files encrypted / locked to next PVR . every hard drive that I have used to record programs inside a DVR or USB attached to TVs for recording won't let you access the files via a comouter for editing or copying
I there a way to remove adverts from files
Thanks everybody for helping me with the many simple questions and threads
I just called Comcast last night to upgrade more channels like NBA TV, ASPIRE channel etc something like that so somehow I went to rescan with HDR webpage to get all channels then rescan with nPVR but somehow I get half of channels are not showing at all. so here's zip of "lineup.xml" for you to take a look since nPVR doesn't like new channels when I am attempting to rescan and it take forever to get new channels it wasn't like that I usually get quick scan with nPVR so this time I get scanning and LOCK scanning something like that I just never seen it before it work when I am on Digital Preferred so now I am on X1 Premier Starter package with Comcast.
I have gone through several items in config to see if I could get the same channel to appear when ever I click on "Live TV." So far I have not found the answer. It would be nice instead of having to bring up two windows to get the list of channels and pick the one I want.
The below screen capture shows a partial list of the ...\NPVR\Logs folder. It appears that all logs are rotated a through .log -> .log.1 -> .log.2 -> .log.3 cycle. Except for NPVR.log. Is it normal for NPVR.log.2 version to be missing? I've tried deleting the other versions for NPVR but the .2 version never returns.
Is this a nit of no consequence or am I missing what could be vital log records?
Updated to 4.04 this weekend. After watching a show, tried deleting, get an unhandled exception. Tried several other deletes, same thing. Tried restarting, same thing. Attaching all logs from tonight.
Details in the exception window are pasted below

Not sure why deleting would require connection to IP, but it appears to be a socket issue.

Hey guys. I have my recording set to keep 4 of the new episodes. I'd like for it to delete the oldest and record the newest so that I always have the newest four episodes. It seems the way I have it now it only keeps four episodes and then stops recording. Can someone tell me how to get this functionality?
After I installed the latest build of 4.0.4 I'm getting an unhandled exception error when selecting the "Devices" page in settings. The devices page populates with my devices at the same time the error message occurs. Nothing seems to be affected by this error and NPVR runs fine as far as I can tell.
I have been using my trusty USBUIRT for well over 10 years with NPVR and when the developer originally stopped updating drivers beyond Win 7/8 I had real problems with BSOD crashes in Windows 10. Whocrashed said it was FTDI, which is (only) used by the USBUIRT on my PC. The developer seems to have added /10 to the Win 7/8 list although the version number v2.06.01 did not change. What follows is for those of you with a USBUIRT that want to use it in Win10 x32/x64, in case you're still getting issues.
A year or two back I found a solution to modify the inf file and jump through a few hoops to get the driver from this FTDI site to work on WinX x64 (before the dev updated the drivers for Win7/8 to x64), using this link from the USBUIRT forum. I have now done this for Win10.
The attached contains the semi-finished product. I say semi as:
1. You WILL need to turn off driving signing to install. Notes to do this are in the file / link. I used the method here Disable device driver signing, the CMD line method did not work. You must reboot.
2. You may also need to sign the driver after installing using a 3rd party tool dseo13b.exe. Notes also in the file / link.
3. You may need to manually copy ftdibus.sys from the i386 folder to Windows_System32_drivers and then sign it. YMMV.
No responsibility for these, use at your own risk :-).
