Looks like I was right, nobody responded in the other thread. So let me try again in a thread all its own...
Is there any way to cleanly restart the NPVR system? I have tried going into Services and stopping then restarting NRecord, I have tried using the links in the NPVR folder to Stop NPVR Service, then Start NPVR Service, and I have tried using "Restart Recording Service" from the context menu on the tray application. In almost every instance (the "Restart Recording Service" worked the first time, but never again), after restarting the tray application is messed up - won't accept a right click. I've even tried exiting tray application first, then stopping and restarting, but no luck.
So, best case if I could get things to work cleanly from a scheduled task, that would be great. But even if I had to do it manually, as long as it didn't mess stuff up that would help.
There are times when I launch Kodi that Live TV (NextPVR) does not appear on my Home screen.
Quitting and restarting Kodi does not help. I must reboot the computer and restart Kodi to get it to load
Having just installed NextPVR I'm now trying to figure out how to auto update the EPG listings 7 days out (USA). I tried following a few tutorials on using mc2xml but the listings don't update, and I now have read that Microsoft is no longer updating EPG listings anyway so mc2xml won't work.
What is the easiest and free way to auto update the guide listings in NPVR?
I'm on version 3.5.7. Nothing seemed very interesting in the NRecord.log. Let me know if you want any other log information...
Code:
Application ID: NRecord.exe
Process ID: 6328
Exception: System.InvalidOperationException

Anyone used Windows Server 2012 for a next pvr server?
I'm looking at consolidating some of my virtual machines and currently have a couple of windows 2008 and a w10 nextpvr server. Thinking about consolidating all on Windows 10 or Server 2012.
When you click on live and wait for the channel to display or a recording is going to start, is there a time limit set in NPVR that it will wait for the channel to show? If the channel does not appear in the set time, is this when you get a failed to record message or whatever it does state?
I ask because when I display a channel from satellite, it takes much longer for it to display than an OTA one. My thought this may be the reason for some of these recordings to not record.
Or are my thoughts totally wrong?
I haven't had shows like this before, but have run into a bit of an issue. My wife records Miss Marple, and there were some episodes, such as s01e03, that were longer than the normal 1 hour time. In this example, it was 3 hours long. When originally shown, it would have been a single episode, but now it is shown in 3 parts, but all show as s01e03.
NPVR records all 3 episodes as expected. The shows are renamed to Miss Marple.xxxx.ts, then Miss Marple.xxxx.02.ts, and finally Miss Marple.xxxx.03.ts by imagegrablite. The database, though, points all 3 episodes to the original one, dropping the .02 & .03. I have to manually edit the database to add the .02 and .03 to the proper recordings. Any idea if this is an imagegrablite or NPVR problem? We have another of these recordings tomorrow, so I can post logs afterwards if that's what is needed.
I tried to record last nights episode of "Haven". While the file seems to be the correct size, it won't play. The file seems to be corrupted. I have attached the logs. Is there anything that can be done? How do I avoid this in the future? I guess I am stuck watching on demand with the commercials!
I am having trouble viewing channels that I believe are switched digital video channels on my Windows 10 Nextpvr setup. I can view all my other channels. When I try to view the channel i just receive a black screen, all other 100 channels work. Is there any additional configuration that needs to be done to get these channels to work? I loaded my Windows 8 Image with media center everything else the same and media center was able to tune these channels fine so I know its not a wiring / signal problem
Here is my setup using Windows 10 and Nextpvr 3.5.7. Ceton Tuner InfiniTV PCI card with a Cox Cable Card. This is attached to a splitter that also has a Cisco STA1520 Tuning Adapter. I've also attached my NPVR.log file any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks
I've never tried ripping DVDs for media server purposes so I'm completely in the dark about this stuff. I need to clear some cupboard space and I have a new HDD so decided to rip a load of old DVDs so they could be boxed up and put in the loft.
So far I've tried Handbrake (but couldn't really work it out) and DVDFab (which sort of worked but suggested it would take 6 hours to rip a single 40 minute TV episode from DVD.
OK, my machine is old and doesn't have much grunt (Win XP, P4) but it works fine as a general media server. Is there any software which is mostly 'point and click' which will rip DVDs in a time where I won't have to wait a life time to rip a few dozen DVDs?
