What is the URL for download of nPVR 1.5.33? All I can find is the download for GB-PVR 1.4.7 at http://gbpvr.com/
Thanks, rkircher

argh... that's it, I'm deleting this whole thread. :mad: :mad: <pout>

ok, ok, just kidding... but good grief, where to get NPVR is the first thing I typed... talk about the feeling of futility...

Information here should apply to any release of NPVR.

Alternate source for Hauppage SoftPVR components: http://forums.gbpvr.com//showthread.php?...post377863. Extract the file using something like 7-zip or winzip, then further extract the WINTV7SETUP.EXE file. From the extracted WINTV7SETUP files, copy hcw_*.* to a directory, and regsvr32 the three .ax files (only the mux is needed if you have a hardware encoding device, but it won't hurt to register all 3) sorry, the link in that post is dead now, not sure what to advise at this point

Someone may want to try to use this program to see if they can extract the needed files from the latest Haupagge software. I used it to break down installers for Gobi1000 cellular data modem drivers and connections managers trying to figure out how to get the onboard GPS enabled. There aren't too many installers this program can't break down

Kind of off topic but a link to the blog for my netbook to chartplotter conversion (WARNING iPad owners, don't let your iPad get to close or my N2C will eat it up and spit it back out)

yeah, I have used that program in the past to pull drivers out of installers like Sony's that will only install if the notebook model and OS are exactly what the installer wants even though the driver itself will work on other models and even other OS's. if I get a chance I'll try it with the hauppauge download, assuming no one beats me too it.

Seems there is a new audio patch from Sub, putting it back to 1.5.31 standards.

Thanks, added to additional patch list.

[johnsonx42]

I've updated the cumulative patch to include the three 'new' patches previously listed separately. They are now included patches 12, 13 and 14.

[johnsonx42]

noted new updates to System Plugin and NextBlue skin. also added a new patch that enables the previously non-functional Overlay renderer.

In the last few days, I've added a few things to the Top 3 posts. In no particular order:

- added some notes about the current process for enabling QAM support for unknown tuners
- improved clarity in sections about directory and log file locations
- noted that there aren't likely to be any more patches for 1.5.33, as sub's dev build has moved beyond it now
- noted the release and subsequent update of TVListings 3.1
- noted the release of SubMenu, which replaces the default main menu and adds sub-menu support
- noted the availability of the Programs plugin
- replaced Hairy's Wave skin with the completed version called Slate

There've been other changes too I'm sure, but that's everything I can think of that's minimally worth noting.

Analog Capture Devices:
For ALL analog capture devices, you will need some of the Hauppauge SoftPVR components (yes, even if it's not a Hauppauge device). If your Analog capture source does not show up in Devices, then the needed components are missing. If you first install WinTV7 (not 6, 7!) you will have the needed components installed. You can download WinTV7 from Hauppauge if you have an earlier WinTV CD available AND have a supported Hauppauge device installed: http://hauppauge.lightpath.net/software/...d_2.1a.exe. See post 3 for another way.

What are the options for making these files available somewhere (not on gbpvr.com) or creating an auto download and extractor bat/exe?
