System Plugin for nPVR - Early Beta

[imilne]

Is it still ignoring them even after restarting nPVR?

Is it still ignoring them even after restarting nPVR?

It does does finally see the Tuners when NPVR was restarted on the second attempt.... required a second full machine restart.... so some reason......

[imilne]

Hmm, sounds a bit weird. It parses the tuners at the time the Settings dialog is opened up, so if nPVR itself hasn't got them ready at that point, then that would explain them not showing up. A single restart of nPVR should have been enough though.

It's a difficult problem to test. I'll maybe change the plugin's initialization of the tuners so that it happens every time you visit the Rename tab. That might be enough to sort it.

A small update today, mainly to give it the skin files from Slate so that it's the same as those distributed with the new NPVR 1.3.56. The other changes are those already posted in a patch earlier in this thread.

- Improved the plugin's performance with UNC network paths
- Changed the skin files so that Slate is used by default
- Changed the screen update frequency to be every 10 seconds

I get the following error with 1.5.36 and the latest release of the system plugin when performing an update epg. Occurs with the default skin. I am using dvbguide to download the epg.

Still seems ok for me, with both an external XMLTV file (from DVBGuide), and NPVR's own internal DVB EPG tuning. Is there anything in the logs at the time of the crash?

[XJW]

Logs attached but I dont see anything. Has anyone tried with Windows 7 ?

[imilne]

I'd take a guess at it being something to do with the "Error initialising Direct3D" message, especially as the crash is related to System.Drawing. Have you installed the DirectX and VC2008 updates that NPVR requires?

Sorry - I had incorrectly assumed that Windows 7 would not need these when I did my install back in July. Thanks.

Not to worry. Glad you got it sorted.
