I have a small Dell Inspiron Zino PC that I use with my main TV to record OTA shows when my cable DVR is busy recording its max number of shows. The Dell had Win 7 with Win Media Center, an IR remote sensor and a Hauppauge USB TV tuner. All of the above worked great. The IR remote was able to start WMC, navigate within WMC and even exit with WMC telling Win 7 to shut down. But now I upgraded to Win 10 and WMC is no more!!
So I'm playing around with NPVR and I first tried it on my desktop PC and with some help from here got it working. Now its on the Dell and also working but I have a few questions.
The remote that came with the Dell and worked with WMC does work with NPVR so that is very good. However I saw an option in NPVR's settings to start NPVR with the green MCE remote button and I checked that option but when NPVR is not running and I click the green remote button nothing happens. But once I use the mouse to get NPVR running all of the buttons on the remote seem to work fine. Is there something else I have to do to get NPVR to start with the green remote button?
If I can get the above to work is there any way I can get NPVR to exit and shut down Win 10?
Im using the OTA guide from Servcedirect with a HDHR3-US and NEXTPVR rel 3.6.6
My TV guide works great.... with one exception: the listings for channel 2.1 are wrong. The are a duplicate of the listings for channel 2.2, which are correct for that channel.
How do I correct this problem?
Note: I chose to "merge duplicate channels" during the setup on NextPVR.
When scrolling through the Video folder structure, if a folder image exists it is displayed as a background image. If you scroll to another folder that does not have a folder image n the last found folder image remains as the background (rather than resetting to blank or the default). I'm saying folder image, but the correct description may be the landscape or poster image.
In the example logs attached...
[INDENT]Angel from hell - has folder image
Arrow - has folder image
Ask this old house - has folder image
bbq with franklin - has folder image
bee gees - does not have folder image and continues showing bbq with franklin as background
Best Time Ever - does not have folder image and continues showing bbq with franklin as background
Blackish - has folder image

hi, i have to buy a new computer and looking for a tv player. just got next pvr. but not all the channels are available. like hbo and other. pleas help
I am generally a keyboard user and use the mouse only when I have to. NextPVR does have a very usable keyboard navigation scheme but it appears restricted to Esc, arrow keys, and Enter.
I would like to see a navigational enhancement to the keyboard by designating an underscored letter in each menu item as a "goto...enter" much like standard Windows menus have behaved since the flood.
I have two SilicondDust HD Homerun connect units for my set up. That gives me four tuners. I was watching live TV the other day and a message popped up that said something like "the tuner I was on was needed for a recording." I was so surprised I did not write it down exactly or just what I clicked on, but I did shut down the live TV. After a few seconds I started live TV and it played just fine. Later I noticed the recording that was scheduled had finished.
Well the question with three tuners not in use, why did the upcoming recording need the one I was on? It had three others to pick from. ???
Reading a forum some where a person stated they had a 32 bit OS and added enough memory to bring the total to 8Gb. Every one else told him the system could only use 4Gb max. He needed a 64 bit OS to use that much memory. Well, he stated programs still loaded and his system worked better with the 8Gb installed. When he took out 4Gb, the system slowed down. Is this guy nuts or could it help speed up his computer?
My Setup is WIN 7,NextPVR 3.6, and HDHomerun Prime on COX Cable in U.S.
I have the setup for awhile and for the longest time it recorded just fine, but recently I noticed certain channels are constantly not recording. Those channels are 1005 (FOXHD), 1006 (CBSHD), and 1007 (CWHD). All other channels are recording fine. I noticed that during the time where the channels are failing to record or records but is pixelated beyond able to watch. I can go to the HDHome run app and watch the channel with no issues. Curious if anyone else has had this issue?
Running openELEC Intel version (Isengard 15.2) and now updated to NextPVR 3.6.6 (on windows 7 ultimate 64bit). I believe the recording issue was working with the prior release of NextPVR, but since my recent upgrade the recordings no longer refresh until I a) turn off/on liveTV or b) reboot Kodi.
I get the recording show messages and recording complete messages and the show does record, however no indication on Kodi that it has recorded or available for playback.
