Just upgraded my server and clients to 3.1.1. Generally all seems to be well, but I have a reoccurrence of a problem with one specific channel on UK Freesat. The problem is related to this:- http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...ic-channel. Unicode characters are embedded around the program titles in the OTA schedule. Those characters are causing the playback to just display a blank screen with no audio. If I play the .ts file outside of NPVR, it plays perfectly well.
Whereas before, the problem was on recorded programs, now it is on live TV as well. I presume this is because now the temporary file carries the name of the program rather than the channel. The file in the temp directory seems to have stripped the Unicode characters, but the debug window shows that it thinks it is playing a file with the Unicode in place.
I can post process a recorded program to strip the Unicode characters, but is there any way of modifying the program name on the fly so the live TV plays as well.
