Also as mentioned in forums before ...

Please don't duplicate posts, this thread is for comments the mvpmc beta.

I was in the "not moving to NPVR" group, due to the lack of MVP support. I'd pretty much stopped visting the GBPVR forums and had started to think about alternative PVR software (definitely wasn't going to get rid of my 2 perfectly functional MVPs).

I was in exactly the same position, thought it was all over for my mvp, had stopped visiting the forums, and by chance I also found this thread, if it works with ML3 I'll try it out this weekend

Martin,

I have just tried playing some .avi's and a .wmv through new dongle an MVP and NPVR. Not much luck.

They do play with MVP and GB-PVR and interestingly also with the new dongle in GB-PVR but not with the dongle in NPVR. I get about 2 seconds of audio a blank screen then audio dies and blank screen stays.

I would post logs etc etc but if the interest isn't there from other users to get this working I won't waste my time or yours

Cheers

FYI - I'm still occassionally getting the same behavior with .ts recordings playing on the NMT. (In fact, it just happened to me again.)

As I said to JonRoyle I have no intention of rehashing NPVR problems in this thread. A better thread is here http://forums.gbpvr.com//showthread.php?...post378338

Sorry if it sounds harsh but I want to limit what I am working to getting recordings and live tv working. I don't want to support the MVP beyond that.

That is 100% unrelated.

Not harsh at all, sometimes clarification on a thread is needed :-)

For me the immediate deal or no deal is LiveTV, Recordings come 2nd so I'll watch this thread and see what happens,

Martin - no probs and thanks for clarification. We all use MVP's for different things - for me previous recordings (now in AVI format) is the main use. Looks like I will stick with GBPVR till I get a Popcorn/Egreat.

Also as mentioned in forums before NPVR does not appear to select dongle mentioned in config file and just uses the dongle.bin file.

I renamed it to dongle.bin in order to get it to load. Working pretty well, though, so Thanks Martin

I think this should be a new beginning for MVP users who want to use N-PVR. Let me know your experiences

I have been trying to use MVP for watching recorded TS files (mpeg audio). I have very mixed experience. Some files play fine, while some show very strange time lines, with the beginning of the show at negative times which span from a few hours to seconds. For such files skipping does not work at all. I think that the problem is related to the encrypted packets at the beginning of the stream. Is there any way to make MVP more robust with respect to such streams?
