Okay, having thrown most of an afternoon at this I have finally decided to ask the question.

I have NextPVR setup and working. I can make recordings fine, but they do not play back. If I try and get them to do so they simply display a black screen. If I load up XBMC and go to the directory those recordings play fine, but not in NextPVR. XBMC looks great but is woefully lacking as a PVR so I am caught between a rock and a hardplace if I can't get NextPVR to at least play back what it records.

The codecs must be there because XBMC can play them. I have even ripped out the windows 8 that was on the box and gone back to windows 7 just to simplify things, but still no go.

Any help gratefully received.

I believe XMBC uses its own internal codecs rather than relying on DirectShow ones. If you've gone back to Windows 7, then the MS decoder can handle most SD and HD transmissions fine, but be aware of: http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...ows+update

What type of TV signals are you using? I assume Freeview DVB-T? If so, what MPEG2 video decoders have you tried on the Settings->Decoders screen?

I'm with Iain ... it's the decoders. I and many others use SAF http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post414049 The default "locked" version should install LAV decoders and they will get you up and running. Send Hoborg a forum private message to get the "unlocked" version for a choice of video decoders.

I Tried SAF a little earlier on in my attempting but the time to change channel was appalling. My Wife is quite used to the time on MediaCentre and would not tolerate the amount of time this one takes. That said I cannot as yet achieve anything stable so maybe that is better than not getting anything working!

Okay, went with SAF and all is now working okay. Typical I decide to do this on the 23rd and a new release turns up immediately!

Thanks for your help
