I have noticed a problem with some recordings and not others that is related to metadata. In the X-NEWA emulation of the NextPVR screen when you click on a recording you get the option pop-up with Close, Play, Delete etc. This works fine for most recordings but I have one in which when you press down-arrow to move from Close to Play it unhighlights Close but then won't highlight any other option. You can still press Esc to leave the screen though.

However, if I deselect "Enable downloading of metadata and artwork" in NextPVR->Settings->Misc2, it works OK.
I suspect the particular artwork here is tripping something up. The thetvdb URL was "http://thetvdb.com/api/3DC9CDF8E41D4737/series/280354/en.xml". Perhaps the asterisks in the Overview field are to blame? <Overview>*Duplicate* See 'The Trip' Season 2.</Overview>

Here is some NPVR.log at the time:

GetMetadata loop is repeated many times without any further keypresses being made.

I saw this behaviour several times using XBMC 12.2 on Openelec and XBMCbuntu using the remote control. Repeat pressing the up/down keys would clear the problem after a few seconds. I was about to report the problem but after updating to a late XBMC 13 Beta them RC1 I don't remember seeing the problem in the last week. However I now remember disabling the artwork several days ago.

Sub will need to look at how that xml with no art is being handled.

I should clarify that the problem doesn't appear in the NextPVR application on a PC. Only when running in X-NEWA. I will look for some more examples.

I don't use the NextPVR metadata so I would need the xbmc.log to see what x-newa is seeing.

I can't see anything obvious in the xbmc log. I have attached the NPVR log as well. The two shows I have found which cause the problem are "The Trip To Italy" and "Coast Australia". What they seem to have in common is no "poster" field in the thetvdb xml file.

Yes, I don't see anything x-newa is doing wrong.

I found a way anyone can experience the difference in behaviour between what X-NEWA presents and what NextPVR presents when there is no poster art. You would need to run XBMC on the same machine as the NextPVR server. Turn off the internet connection and delete one of the bits of cached poster art in e.g. C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Media\Shows. Now if you try and play or delete the show in NextPVR it still works, but in X-NEWA it doesn't highlight any of the options when you click down from "Close".
