This thread will contain the current version of Universe Plugin, a UPnP client for NPVR 1.5.36+

To install uncompress and run the executable. It comes with only the default skin, but the skin from WebRadio will be used if found in other skins.

Changes 2010-12-28

- fixed problem with no content directory
- increased error checking
- added Next to the "hidden" menu to return the next 100 items if available. Reload on this menu does a new search for UPnP servers, Home takes you to the first page on the current server.

I noticed that the links used by Universe where being saved in the NPVR database unnecessarily. Sub quickly got the attached patch out to address this issues. Thanks once again.

Having these entries won't be a significant issues but if you really want to clean them you can use sqlite

Code:

sqlite3.exe npvr.db3 "delete from playback_position where filename like 'http:%%'"

Note that there are usually updates to NShared and this is not be the latest version. Please check dates before updating

I missed this until looking at johnsonx42's list tonight. This patch should improve scrolling speed in Universe http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post399626 since art is not downloaded from Netflix YouTube, etc unless you are actually selecting an item
