The problem is that occasionally a program is recorded on the default folder rather the the folder selected during program record setup.
The two examples here are "Great Barrier Reef" (2/11/2016 8:00PM-9:00PM) and "MayDay" (2/12/2016 11:00PM-12:00AM) both intended to be recorded at "E:\MediaStore\Video\Arts, Science, and Information" but placed instead in the default "D:\MediaStore\Video".
This has happened over the past couple of years through several NPVR versions. However it only happens maybe once or twice every couple of weeks.
I have the feeling this may occur when the unit has a heavy processing load and be due to a hard drive not spinning up in time to satisfy NPVR but this may be entirely off base.
The setup has a fast quad processor, an SSD drive for the O/S, programs and program data (including NPVR version 3.6.6), as well as eight hard disk drives for A/V storage. NPVR is used to record about 130 hours per week from two tuner devices.
On the client, I go to Recordings, Ready,
select Ruptures, select S01E04, delete it, it disappear from the GUI, however it is still present on the Server folder.
I start NPVR on the server and the recording isn't there.
On the client NPVR folder, is-it normal that I have recurring-backup.xml recording-backup.xml files ?
It was the server at some point and I switch it to client at some point.
Could this be the reason why TV Listings schedules recording when I start NPVR on the client?
I installed NPVR 3.6.6, and the installation went normally (I think). I then installed the LAV filters. When I went to the decoder page of NPVR settings, LAV decoders do not show up in any of the drop-down menus, and the only selection of MPEG2 Video is disabled. Is there a step that I missed that would have added the LAV decoders to the list?
I wanted to watch TV recordings in Oculus Rift without having to go through the tediousness of burning/ripping for every programme. I use a mini DVB-T Stick, primarily for Android but works on Windows (and itâs much better reception/quality on a laptop). I tried WMC and TotalMedia - the recordings are fine when viewed on a media player, but atrociously jerky/stuttering in the Rift. Playback of NextPVR recordings are perfectly smooth, and without sync problems.
And with NextPVRs âwakeupâ I couldnât ask for anything better.
I routinely suffer loss of recordings after some glitch interrupts the initial one. This current example was when recording Varney&Co which was working fine for 45 minutes. Something then caused a restart of the recording. When it attempted to restart, it failed, resulting in only the first 45 minutes being saved. Note that NPVR states that the recording is still currently active, but I can't see how.
This happens with some frequency, with the following messages:

With version 3.6.6 and using Zap2It as EPG source, I cannot get the EPG to update automatically. It will update manually with NPVR 3.6.6 UI under Channels and it has automatically updated with an older version of NPVR.
Looking for some help here, I haven't found anyone with the same issue as I have.
I am using MC2XML to retrieve the EPG data. I live in Canada, so I am able to use the legacy version and still receive data.
When I run Update EPG, the guide XML file is created without problems, and the logs show that it is able to find entries for each channel, but when I go back in to look at the guide, nothing appears.
As a test, I opened a trial Schedules Direct account, and used that to populate a couple channels, those are the only channels currently showing EPG data.
I don't know what else I can do, can someone please point me in the right direction?
Attached are the NPVR log file, and sample of the Guide XML data (12 hrs to make the file smaller).
Here is my UpdateEPG.bat file:
D:
cd "D:\mc2xml"
mc2xml.exe -f -d 12 -s '-6' -o TVGUIDE.xml

Just started happening all recordings are distorted broken as in image # 2.
Previously was having no issues with multiple recordings and watching using Kodi
As soon as recording is engaged, the picture becomes distorted as does the recording of the program.
I have Comcast as my cable provider and setting up NextPVR to replace Windows Media Center.
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
CPU: AMD A10-7850k
RAM: 16 GB
HD: Intel 160 SSD, WD 2 TB drive
Tuner: Ceton InfiniTV 6 PCIe resides in the same PC where NextPVR is being run.
When I use Kodi as a frontend all channels work properly (no copy protected channels), using NextPVR as the frontend, I get sound but no video on channels using H.264 (same channel in Kodi work just fine).
