I just upgraded to version 3.9.2 (161119) and encountered the Start Service error message in the attached screenshot.
Also when running nextPVR on the PC, I cannot change channels or stop playback once started.
I'm running on a Windows 10 PC.
What can I do to resolve this issue?
I've just uploaded version 3.7.2 of the TVListings plugin at the wiki.
Changelog:
Quote:- prevent premature dispose of ui elements in client mode
- also try to lookup images by name with invalid chars replaced by '-'
- limited the auto-inserted number of categories in the popup to 12
- adopted API changes for comaptibility with NextPVR 3.9.2
- aligned recurring recording options to default ones
Please note the following when upgrading:
This release requires NextPVR 3.9.2 and above
There's no need to overwrite an existing "TV Listings.db" database file during upgrade
If you've installed the patch from here, you may now return to the unpatched NextPVR version
After getting everything working perfectly on my computer (batch files, NextEnd, ComSkip), I moved on to getting things up to date on my wife's computer. Same build of Windows 10 on both computers, but they behave differently. So, why should it be any different for other software. When I did an Unistall of NextPVR on my computer I was able to delete all the NPVR files in ProgramFiles(X86) and in Users\Public\NPVR and start from scratch. On my wifes computer I was not able to delets all of the files in ProgramFiles(X86). WIndows Explorer said they were in use by another program. So, I tried a restart, thinking that might solve the problem. However, on startup I got a message:
Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.
The type initializer for "TVServices.Core.SystemSettings" threw an exception.
Is this related to NextPVR?
I've attached the batch files and config files from my wife's PC that worked on my PC, as well her logs.
I am still getting used to NPVR and was wondering how the scheduler works.
At the moment, I have two DVB-T tuners and a single DVB-S2 tuner.
I have one of the DVB-T tuners as the first priority for recording, then the DVB-S2 tuner and then the other DVB-T tuner.
In my channel list, I have all the HD channels at the top, followed by the +1 channels and lastly the SD versions of the channels. For example, Channel4 HD is above Channel 4+1, which is above Channel 4.
Whenever I set a series recording, I go to the topmost channel available and click record every time on any channel. I also have avoid duplicates set.
This seems to work fine, but I do seem to get some clashes where I don't think they should occur.
How sophisticated is NPVR in terms of switching recordings if another showing is show on another channel?
By the way, the reason I have HD channels at the top is based upon my prior experience with Argus TV - to favour HD recordings where possible. No idea if this is applicable to NPVR.
On the Clients page of settings and the MVP/NVT Client setup; I have looked everywhere and can not find the real meaning of Number of Servers other than "the number of servers". Does this mean it will act as say 3 servers for 3 clients if the number 3 is inserted there.
Since you seem to be experimenting with an alternative cross platform client, and there's a windows build ready to try, is there a way to make nlite.exe connect to a remote server? The current build just looks for servers on the same LAN. Remote connection would be really useful...
Upgraded, started NextPVR, selected TV Listings, crashed with unhandled exception, could not load 'ElementOverrides' from assembly 'NextPVR, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. At TVListings.TVRecordings.TVRecordings.GetRenderList().
Can the aspect ratio of playback of a recording be adjusted? I am trying to watch a recording of a TV show with a 4:3 aspect ratio. I'm using my iPad Pro 9.7" and the NextPVR client app. The video looks flattened/squished and stretched out a bit (I'm guessing it's trying to play in 16:9. How do I adjust for this?
Just upgraded to the new version this morning. The previous version TV Guide was working fine, don't know what has caused it to stop. I can still play live tv and use the arrow keys to navigate channels, but have no idea how to set up a future recording without the guide. I'm not technical at all, but have attached the details from the error code NextPVR shows when I try to access the guide: (also included a screenshot of the error message)
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

I am trying to apply the latest update and all seems to go well to completion. However, when NPVR is restarted I still get the upgrade available and current version 3.8.3 notification.
I have tried to apply the update from within NPVR. I have also tried closing all NPVR services, etc, turning Norton off and installing from the downloaded file but I get the same results.
I didn't have any problem upgrading from 3.7.7 to 3.8.3 and I don't think anything has changed on the computer.
