Current patches for NextPVR v3.3.8
Cumulative Update - None Yet
ANY NPVR USERS EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS SHOULD INSTALL THE CUMULATIVE PATCH UPDATE AND RECREATE THE PROBLEM BEFORE POSTING A SUPPORT REQUEST. These updated files represent the latest version of NPVR code, and may include other changes not documented, so your problem may already have been fixed. Also, other later patches you may find posted by sub may fail if all your NPVR program files are not up to date. (no, it is not necessary to install any patches before upgrading to a new release of NextPVR - unless otherwise stated, you can upgrade from any release of NextPVR to any later release).
=== Individual patches for NPVR 3.3.8 === (install these as needed; only the Cumulative Update, if available, is considered mandatory)
1. correct data corruption issue with Colossus devices - http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post480491 (included with NPVR 3.3.8 installer after October 26th)
2. improve handling of Season/Episode numbers in XMLTV files - http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post480654
3. work-around problem encountered in Settings when selecting Schedules Direct mapping - http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post480752
4. update NScriptHelper for new database - http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post480809
5. correct failure if single Schedules Direct channel is mapped to multiple channels - http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post480865
6. improve automatic channel-to-epg mapping in some scenarios - http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post480929
It should be noted that patches are listed generally in chronological order, but not perfectly so. The thread a given patch is posted in may contain additional information on exactly what a given patch was intended to do, and may also contain information on additional settings required if you wish to use the functionality provided. Finally, not all patches actually fix what they are supposed to, but the changes usually remain in the file going forward so they are listed as part of the update history.
Installation Notes These "patches" are simply replacement files for the existing NPVR program files. You should extract them and copy them over the existing files; the default directory is C:\Program Files\NPVR. If you are running Vista or 7 and have UAC enabled, you will likely need to grant administrator permissions, or do the copy from an elevated command prompt.
Before installing patches, you must exit NextPVR.exe, shutdown the NPVR Recording Service and close the NPVR Tray Icon (using the "Stop NPVR Service" icon accomplishes both).
I recommend that you restart your system after installing patches. I've seen numerous cases where the Recording Service is not able to restart properly due to a socket error. You can check your NRecord.log to see whether it did or not, or just reboot to be safe.
