I like npvr. I really do, but I find myself more and more going to Media Center and watching whatever is on NetFlix, because it's so much easier than dealing with npvr problems. I used gpvr for 3 years with nearly no problems and had a blast with it, but npvr is a different story. The skip problem, for example, makes recordings unwatchable, and I still do not know if it has been fixed. The patches page for 2.4.3 has 9 patches, and I have no idea if one of them would address the skip issue. And, do I need all 9? If not, can each be installed independent of the others, or are any prerequisite for any others. Then I see a post like this: "Not being mean, but what is the point of #1 and #3 when #4 replaces both?" Where does it say that 4 replaces 1 and 2? And why do the patch links go to another page instead of the patch file. Do you have to read all of those threads, too?
Yeah, I know, whine, whine, moan, moan. Sorry, I do appreciate all that npvr represents, but I have an awful lot of time in this - already 2 or 3 times what I spent on gbpvr over 3 years altogether - and I want to record and watch my dadgum shows. I guess not being able to makes me grumpy. The last two nights, I recorded Hannity, and somehow or other, npvr recorded the radio tuner signal for the audio. Go figure. I used to run comskip with gbpvr, but haven't yet had the guts to install it with NPVR. Same with xmltv and some enhancer or the other.
If there is a fix for the skip forward/back issue and someone could point me to it, I would be grateful. Taking little bitty tiny steps at this point.
Thanks.
