New to NPVR

[JavaWiz]

First run a cacls command on the database: cacls c:\users\public\npvr\npvr.db3
You should see a line at the bottom
Everyone: (ID)F
This means 'everyone' has full control (i.e. can read-write-update-delete,...)


If that is wrong, or you still can't get it to work, I'd suggest a de-install and re-install.

your resulting data directory structure should look like:

Code:

C:\USERS\PUBLIC\NPVR
        +---Certs
        +---Custom
        +---Dongle
        +---Languages
        +---Logs
        +---MDPlugins
        +---Media
        +---Plugins
        +---Scripts
        +---Skin
        +---Thumbs
        +---Tuning
        \---web

When installing and testing for the first time, turn off anti-virus and firewall. After you have it running, turn on one process at a time to see if it breaks.

On XP, the directory is "C:\documents and settings\all users\application data\npvr". On all new versions of Windows, it's c:\users\public\npvr. If you don't have it, reinstall.

I did a new install. Was not helpful.

Same result, as above, with anti viru and firewall turned off.

Are you using AVG PC TuneUp to uninstall NextPVR?

What happens if you Control Panel --> Programs and Features ... to uninstall and then do a reinstall?

Try running "nextpvr.exe -updatedb"

[Geoff Piggott]

Graham: Yes I was running AVG PC TuneUp for un-installing will use the Control Panel - Programs and Features in future

Sub: I tried running nextpvr.exe -updatedb -> Windows cannot find nextpvr.exe
I ran it using the full path to nextpvr.exe -> The error message I have become very used to (see attachment)

Next Steps:
Stopped NextPVR
Un-installed
Downloaded new file from Forum (see attachment)
Started install Wizard
->Error opening file NRecords.exe (see attachment)

I feel as if we might be making some progress: Thanks guys

[Geoff Piggott]

Sorry I forgot to mention both anti virus and firewall turned off throughout above process.

Of course you have to give it the full path.

Run "nextpvr.exe -updatedb" again, then post your npvr.log and I'll take a look.
