added to list, thanks.

NPVR 2.1.5 Patches R1 is now posted in the top post.

It includes patches 1-18.

There are probably more changes to the NPVRTSMon.ax file coming in pursuit of issues #10 and #18, but the patch list was getting pretty long without any cumulative update at all, so I had to draw the line somewhere.

you need to fix the link for the sample post processing.bat, it doesnt work in the first post, 404 error.

this works:

I must have accidentally copied the shortened display text of a link rather than the actual link. Thanks.

As there's been a long break in patch production, and some indications that there may not be any more patches for 2.1.5, I've decided to roll the patches we have into an R2 patch release which may well be final.

This patch release does not include any patches released in development threads. If you're beta-testing anything for a plugin developer, continue to follow the dev's instructions on what patches you need.

I think you missed the new NScriptHelper (item 13), which is discussed in
http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post415022

Also, the RenameRecording.bat file you included in R2 may not work for 64-bit systems; anyone interested should check that discussion.

[johnsonx42]

oops, I have no idea how that RenameRecording.bat got in there. I must have stuck that file in that directory by mistake, then didn't notice it when I made the patch update. I'll fix it now.

As pointed out by JimF, I fouled up the R2 patch archive just a bit. R2-Fixed posted in it's place.

The original version of the R2 patch errantly included a batch file named "RenameRecording.bat". This file is NOT part of the NPVR program, and further does not belong to me to distribute. Please remove it from your NPVR Program directory. If you are interested in the function of that file, see: http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...atch-files. Also, neither the R1 or R2 patch included the latest version of the NScriptHelper.exe (update #13). It is now included. There are no other changes, so if you already installed R2 and are not making use of NScriptHelper.exe you do not need to install this version; however in any case please do remove the RenameRecording.bat file as it does not belong.

Mr Jonsonx42 Sir
It may be an idea to recommend the full direct x redist rather than the web installer - see my post in this thread

Yes, I've read the thread about that. It's always been a mystery why some users were unable to get the DirectX runtime update to install. It's nice to finally have a solution. However I no longer list the pre-reqs directly, I just link to the Wiki. If not already, someone should update the wiki to point to this.

In the meantime, I'll try to find room for this.
