Since I got the HTPC in 2008 I have been using AMD Graphics. First onboard HD3200, followed by HD5600 when we went HD and when that went pop a HD7700 which is an excellent card for an HTPC.
All of this time I have always used the latest drivers from AMD, beta when available - until this year.
When the Crimson drivers came out a year ago, I installed them, only to find most of the video settings had gone, the picture quality was poorer and there was no way to get deinterlacing :mad:
I found a work around, which was to install the last Beta Catalyst Suite then install the driver only from Device Manager. Unfortunately around May June this year AMD managed to close this loophole and I was forced to go back to Catalyst 15.11.1 Beta which is where I now appear to be stuck.
I was thinking of updating my other PC's Graphics Card (HD4780) but this driver issue is a big problem as recent Cards require the Crimson Driver and Nvidia Cards still seem a bit pricey.
Anybody got any work around for the Crimson Problem? What are you using?
I've had my PC nearly stop running several times now and I have noticed on the last couple of events that the nrecord.exe has been utilizing all of the CPU while monitoring it with the task manager. This has been happening from v3.8.3 and has just happened for the first time on v3.9.2. Logs attached.
Starting a new thread as requested. I've tried a couple different recordings and it's the same results, just get the recording date instead of S/E.
I'm attaching the two log files. The Firstrun.txt is the log from the initial rename that didn't use the S/E info and also that didn't produce a .nfo file for whatever reason. The Secondrun.txt is the log from the second run that produced a .nfo file and didn't change anything else.
Command line was "imageGrabLite --oid 929 --rename --nfo" for both runs.
I haven't looked at NextPVR for a while and just stumbled upon a thread that mentioned that NextPVR now has a iOS App!
Updated my NextPVR and bought a copy straight away...didn't bother checking how good it is/isn't as I wanted to support you without question.
It is very nice, would be great to have Chrome Cast Support and Air Play (to polish it off) and an Apple TV version would be lovely...also...if it isn't too much to ask :-) could we have a Android TV version?
I use mcebuddy to strip commercials and convert my recorded files. And I view my content using kodi. I really don't need the npvr files in subdirectories. It makes it harder to figure out what files are out there when I use file explorer. Plus I don't need the jpgs.
Is there any way to record with no subdirectories or jpegs? I am not seeing the option in setup under recordings, unless I am missing something.
I just updated NPVR to 3.9.2 and X-Newa alpha 8 would no longer connect to NPVR. I updated to beta 1 and it still won't connect. Has something changed?
I have updated NPVR and TV Listings to the latest versions and notice that I no longer have the option for searching TheTVDB. The option could have been missing prior to the upgrades for all I know, because I haven't used that feature in quite a long time. Any ideas?
