Any special instructions/warnings or just run the file to update already installed version?

oh, another thing I was wondering about; whurlston mentioned awhile back that he requested a "PostUpdateEPG.bat" that would be called after all the EPG update work was done as an easy way to schedule other nightly update routines (like running the database updater for his netflix plugin)... did that make it into this release?

Yes

one question about the initial client/server support: is LiveTV supposed to work yet? It doesn't for me, so if it's supposed to I'll post a support thread. If it's not supposed to work yet, no worries.

Yes, but client/server is pretty lightly tested at this stage. Not too much feedback from the testers about the new client/server functionality.

You should stop the previous version before installing the updated version. I've updated the first post to clearly say that.

Updated without issue. Everything seems to still be working. I've scheduled some test recordings for the comskip functionality. I'll try to play with the client when I get a chance and post back.

Thanks

- added basic FM radio support. You can manual add FM stations in the analog capture source settings. I may add an FM scan feature in a later release. The FM radio stations appear as channels, just like DVB/ATSC radio do, and from the TV Guide you either get the option to 'watch' or 'listen' (which leaves you in menus rather than switching to tv mode). This gives the advantage of being able record radio shows, pause live radio etc.

sub... just want to say: I LUV U ^^ Thank you. Thank you very much, this makes me very happy. Can't await to get finish with work and go home for testing this.

The Client/Server function is very interesting too; i finished the "new" setup of a GB-PVR network on the new server... ^^; So it seems to be time for fully switching to nPVR.

Regarding the FM side of NPVR, I tried it out and I only hear anything for a split second. However, the temp directory does show the file growing until I stop FM radio. It doesn't delete itself upon closing NPVR.
I can see the analog tuner being used but what decoder does it use? I'm not able to hear anything unless I play back the file in the temp directory.

If you post the logs in the support forum, I'll check it out.

FM Radio is working really nice! Thank you for this. I have in my machine currently 3 tv cards (hvr-2200, 2x pvr-500) with one fm tuner. How can i identify in the devicescreen, which tuner is the 1st one of each card? Or can i map the radio stations to all tuners?

Yes, but client/server is pretty lightly tested at this stage. Not too much feedback from the testers about the new client/server functionality.

I am sure, that the feedback will come soon. Just changing the setup at home to nPVR. ^.^
