I've been a user of NPVR for a long time, but the server where I had it running "went fallow" sometime back.
So, I did a complete uninstall of the old version and put a new install on it tonight.
Basically, I am wanting to record ATSC (using the now ancient HVR-1600).
I can watch LIVE TV just fine, but after setting up the Device and Channels...and mapping the XMLTV file assignments (as I have always done in the past), I do an "Update EPG".
Then, back to the main screen, click on TV Guide and..."(no show description)" for everything..all channels...all times.
I'm currently running an NPVR install which is about 2 years old, and I would like to upgrade. However, I have a bit of a legacy setup, and was wondering if this will break anything and I'm heading on a road for trouble?
My current setup is using a USB UIRT to change channels, a USB PVR2 for composite recording and 2 MediaMVPs
Hello. First Time user here. Thanks for creating this helpful product. Since WMC went belly-up(Thanks MS) Ive been searching for a decent replacement, and this works really well! My reason for posting today is, I'd like to see beyond the next 24 hours in my program guide, but am unsure how/if this is possible. I have signed up and am using Schedules Direct. My understanding of Schedules Direct is they have the data for at least 7 days out. However my program guide only goes about 20-24 hours. Is there something I can do to extend the guide. Thanks for any help.
I'm running NextPVR 3.6.6 and Kodi 15.1. I recently had an issue where one channel wouldn't play back and I had to completely uninstall and reinstall NextPVR. Before that the guide in Kodi showed an * on programs that were not new, this data was created by using the -b option with mc2xml. The script for the guide data hasn't changed but I can no longer get Kodi to show the * on repeat episodes of programs. I've checked everything I can think of. Anyone have any ideas? NextPVR knows the shows are repeats because it won't record them if I have it set to only record new episodes.
I used to run Windows MCE on Windows 7 with 2 Avermedia capture cards. The A188B card doesn't even register on Windows 10. It's now under the hidden devices and is grayed out. Says to reconnect to the computer. I've tried it in 2 different slots, so I'm guessing it's a driver problem going to Win 10.
So 2 questions, can I get this card to work in Win 10 and if I do, will it work in NextPVR?
I'm in rural New Zealand. The only Freeview option for me is DVB via satellite. All the Freeview streams are MPEG-2. Since rebuilding my PVR with Windows 10, I have had some real performance problems which I have been trying to nail down. Issues such as the picture freezing or going black for up to 30 seconds on a channel change, or corruption during ff/rw of recorded TV. I was wondering if I had bad tuners or some other problem. Some codecs didn't work at all, or just resulted in a black screen. Also, I often had issues getting the EPG to show up on top of live TV.
I always have some trepidation about praising a paid product, because I recognise that it looks like I have some commercial interest in the product (which I don't) or am just trolling to trick someone into buying something they don't need. But, when I come across something that solves a problem so well, I feel compelled to share it.
Today, I downloaded an evaluation copy of the "Elecard MPEG-2 decoder for Windows Media Player". After installing it and configuring NPVR to use it, I was amazed at how I could now change channels quickly, get my EPG to display every time on live TV, basically all my issues were solved. If you have issues like me, it's certainly worth downloading the trial. If it's doesn't fix your issues, uninstall it and don't pay for it. The cost is not bad at around 15 euros if you do find it works for you.
Anyway, just wanted to share, as I've been trying to sort these issues for months now. NPVR is now working as smooth as a baby's bum.
Would like to have TV Guide able to go back one day from today. There are many occasions that I thought I had set a program to record the night before but it wasn't. Going back to check what the guide said is very helpful. TitanTV allows this bit I love single access points to related functions.
I have had this happen in the past and managed to catch it once again. After watching a recording and it was at the end and I was thinking it was about the time the "Recording end and delete message" would pop up, next stops working. At least that is what the message on the screen shows. I hope one of the "know how to read the logs person" can see the reason. 98% of the time this great program just works! I wonder what happened?
