2.5.5 available (5 August 2012)

It's already set to false mate.

...but was it in the <General> section of the config.xml? You might only have that setting in the <MVP> section.

I get the 'NextPVR is recording' message when trying to restart a client PC which seems like it might not be intentional?

Post the question in the support forum and I'll supply a patch for you.

PIP!!! YES!!! and the multiple recording directory is nice as well, not per tuner, but hell, per show is good for now.

Nice landing sub! (recorded from the NASA channel in NextPVR 2.5.5)

I just watched that too. Pretty amazing.

I must admit, I thought it looked like an incredibly complicated landing scheme, with far too much that could go wrong.

this really is the best release yet. all y'all need to get in on this.

note all the new features (separated from the very long changelog):

PIP - added Picture-In-Picture support on the PC. You can either use the context menu, or using the * and # keys on the MCE remote. You can press 123-* to open PIP on channel 123. You can press 124-* to change the PIP window to channel 124. You can press # to swap windows. You can press * by itself to close the PIP window. I've only tested this on an MCE remote. If you're using a Hauppauge retail remote you'll need to add a couple of lines to irremote.ini. '*' needs to generate SHIFT-8, '#' needs to generate SHIFT-3, like an MCE remote does.

Flags on Recordings - in the Recordings screen you can now press the red/green/yellow/blue keys to highlight a flag on each recording. This just a simple visual indicator. Some multi-user households might use it to flag a recording as having been watched by certain members of the family.

Multiple Recording Directories, with Archive Function - now possible to specify multiple recording directories, and specify at scheduling time where to record to; - added 'Archive' feature. Only shows up if multiple recording directories are specified. Will move the recording, and any associated files. Also, PreArchiving.bat and PostArchiving.bat will be called around the archiving for users wanting to hook in their own custom logic.

Find All improvements - recurring recordings now have a 'find all' button; - 'find all' popup now gives a visual indication of whether a show is already scheduled to record

Import a lone .ts file - 'import recording' button now also allows you to select a .ts file. If that .ts file has metadata available, then it'll import it as a recording.

New mobile web interface iNEWA - Try NEWA from your mobile phone, or go to http://npvr:8866/mobile to see it on desktop/tablet (no IE8/9 though). mad props to fjbchristaens for this.

I love all these new updates but just a quick question the security for the iNEWA - it appears there is none? i was able to go straight to my external IP and delete recordings without being prompted for a username or password

Scary :eek:

that's a pretty serious issue if true... I've never accessed my system from the internet, but I will try it out and see what happens.

[johnsonx42]

No, mine immediately asks me for my userid and password. no further discussion here.

skippy_nz if you still have this issue, please post in the NEWA forum.

[johnsonx42]

oops, I see the problem, skippy_nz is right. I've posted in the NEWA support forum: http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post439211
