After a very long time between releases, I've attached a release a new version of USBUIRTSend.exe. This version adds learning capabilities.
I thought I'd long since lost this code, but rediscovered it when looking through my old GBPVR archive, and decided to release a new version. People still ask about it from time to time.
You can start by learning a remote with: USBUIRTSend.exe c:\temp\some-set-top-box-name learn Then test the blasting with: USBUIRTSend.exe c:\temp\some-set-top-box-name 123
I have been trying to set up my parents HTPC to stay awake for them while a recording is in progress, because they have a Harmony remote, so that when they press the Watch TV button it sends a signal to the TV and their HTPC. Which means if a recording is in progress it will go to sleep during the recording.
I found an old post here where someone mentions a program called smartpower. I installed it and tried using the âkeep PC awake when certain processes are runningâ option where I put NRecord down as the process. But it still couldn't keep windows from going to sleep while a recording was in progress.
Is there something I missed on this or is there another way that works. The PC is running Windows 10 if that has something to do with it and NextPVR 3.7.7.
I am looking for the Smart TV app (Samsung) as a direct download. I have rooted my Smart TV sets and would rather upload by FTP. This would circumvent uploadin it using the develop-account, which results in all user apps being deleted at that point.
Could you provide a download link for the app? I am not sure where the app downloader tool saves its temporary files.
Thanks
Guido
EDIT: I helped myself by uploading it to the TV set using the app loader, then downloading it via FTP. Now I have a complete set of all user apps, which I can upload en bloc to each TV
Windows 10 is phasing out the command prompt in the latest Preview.
How will this affect the way we do things, run scripts, etc, if any, in NPVR? I don't use Powershell so I don't know much about it.
Quote:Command Prompt has been around for as long as we can remember, but starting with Windows 10 build 14971, Microsoft is trying to make PowerShell the main command shell in the operating system.
Quote:As a result, PowerShell officially replaces the Command Prompt in the Win + X menu, so when you right-click the Start menu, you’ll only be allowed to launch the more powerful app. Additionally, in File Explorer’s File menu and in the context menu that appears when pressing Shift + right-click in any folder, the old Command Prompt will no longer be available.
Typing cmd in the run dialog will launch PowerShell as well, so Microsoft has made a significant step towards phasing out the traditional Command Prompt.
I upgraded to 3.9.2 a few days ago. I'm unable to delete recorded programs. The first few times a message flashed by. Now it just hangs for a few seconds, doesn't delete, and returns to the list of recorded episodes. Logs attached. Thank you for any help you can provide.
I know this sounds more like a hardware issue than NPVR, but it didn't start until updating NPVR about a month ago.
Over the past month or so my HTPC has been dead in the water when I get up in the morning. I have it setup for standard "sleep" mode (no hibernation or hybrid) after an hour of inactivity. It has a blue LED that flashes while sleeping. I noticed that the LED was off. I tried "waking" with my keyboard/mouse and nothing. When I manually push the power button the PC appears to reboot but fails with a solid red "DRAM" LED on the motherboard. I then have to either unplug or switch off the PSU for a second. After that, it boots and operates normally. No error messages or anything. I ran the Windows Mem Checker and it found no RAM problems. This has been happening for several weeks now. I have been trying to monitor for the cause. It went an entire week without issue. I also just happened to not have any scheduled recordings that week. Then I noticed that it was DOA the next morning after a recording the previous night. I haven't made any hardware changes in over a year. I'm not 100%, but it seems this started happening around the time I updated NPVR to the version prior to the most recent. I updated to the most recent version and still have the same problem.
Any ideas, help, or suggestions?

I recently replaced my dual tuner card with a Hauppauge Quad Tuner card.
NextPVR server treats the new quad tuner like it is a dual tuner card.
The NextPVR server kicks off clients when a recording is started even when there are two unused tuners available.
I'm running Windows 10 with a dual core processor.
Will NextPVR be updated soon to properly handle quad tuner cards?
I had a number of episodes fail for various reasons (HD Homerun failure, signal loss, etc etc.)
I want nPVR to not see these episodes as previously recorded, so that the next time they air, it will be re-recorded and i'll have a 'clean' copy of the episode.
What is the most effective way to remove the record of these episodes being recorded so that they'll get re-recorded? Ideally, I won't have to remove the entire series, as I have ~10 seasons of this show, just a few episodes missing in each season due to corrupt (for various reasons) recordings.
I've come to discover that the NPVR Recording Service is not automatically starting when my PC reboots. If I open Services and locate NPVR Recording Service, the setting for Startup Type is set to Automatic. I would think that would do it, but apparently no? Is there something else I need to do?
