From GBPVR to NPVR

Stargrove1 · (This post was last modified: 2011-01-20, 08:04 PM by Stargrove1.)

I want to change from GBPVR to NPVR. I would like to avoid to add all the channels again and map them to certain channel numbers. Is there a way to export the channels from GBPVR and import them into NPVR?

And I recognized that the pictures I saved with the same name as a movie are no longer displayed in the video library. Is there another way, cause this feature was nice.

Again great work sub,

I don't know of any way to transfer the mapped channels, that was the majority of my transitional work. Although, the images for the video library should still show up in NPVR without any change on your part. Just select the same folder under the NPVR settings screen.

No there isnt. You'd need to set them again.

I have set up the same folders (for recording and my video library) but there are no pictures visible.

To find al my chanels, I had to edit the .\DBA\DVB-C\SCAN file. Is there a file where I can directly edit the channel settings?

You shouldnt have to do that in NPVR.

What exactly isnt being found? Do a scan, post the npvr.log, and details of the missing channels, and I'll check why.

None of the Country/Region setup worked, only few channels were found. I started to add some frequencies from my old scan.cache files to my own .ini file and it looks like the channels were found. I will try to update all frequencies and try if all channels will be present. There are already some germany/kabel bw .ini files which not work for my (but I am from germany and use kabel bw as supplier), shall I provide the new .iini file when I am done for other users?

Yes, please provide them and I'll update my master files.

BTW: I noticed that this one was missing in the latest prerelease (I'm pretty sure I'v posted it before).
