Hi,

I've been playing around with NPVR the past couple weeks. I understand that mc2xml microsoft legacy is not working any more. I have tried Schedules Direct for the 7 day trial, and it works perfectly. However, I am not willing to commit to it yet as I'm not sure I will be using NPVR exclusively or not (Currently on W7 with WMC - considering the upgrade to W10 and using NPVR).

In the meantime I have also been getting EPG data from zap2xml (Zap2it.com). When on zap2it.com the program descriptions are very detailed, however, when downloaded to xmltv file, the program descriptions are quite lacking. Is there a setting/command I'm missing to get more complete info? Or is that a limitation for that service?

Also, I've tried finding my UUID for TitanTV (per post 27 of this thread, to no avial). If anyone knows how to find the UUID would it be possible to still use mc2xml to pull TitanTV EPG?

Finally, is there a setting somewhere in NPVR to enable onscreen mouse controls to forward, reverse, play & pause video? My HTPC is connected to my tv and the wireless mouse works wonders in WMC and this would be awesome in NPVR as well.

Thanks,

what you see is what you get. i guess you can complain to whoever maintains zap2xml that they need to steal the epg info better, but nextpvr just uses whatever's in the file it's given.

as far as I've read, it's no longer possible to find a valid uuid for titantv.

nextpvr's UI is designed as a 10ft interface for use with a remote. 2ft mouse control is accommodated to an extent, but no, there aren't on-screen controls for the most part. you can right-click for a popup menu which well have stop/pause/play. the on-screen timeline is clickable in most configurations (certain renderers won't allow it, but it works with the most commonly used EVR renderer).

Thanks,

I'm not concerned about paying $25 for the year...I'm just not ready to commit as I don't know if I'll go strictly with NPVR yet. It's much better than the alternatives I've sampled but I do like the ease of my current WMC setup.

@ mattman1968

Well if you do decide to use NextPVR & Schedules Direct, you might find use for some of my scripts.

Sub removed the OSD in NextPVR, not sure why, just right click to a Windows UI.

Wouldn't that be why they have the 6$ two month members? Otherwise, it does seem to be about the money (a coffee a month)

Ummm...no. I also like to "fiddle" around to learn things, hence why I tried the packet sniffer.
No disrespect but re-read the last part of the sentence you quoted me on above. For that reason I am also considering the W10 WMC hack.
And I don't drink coffee.
