Tried looking in the keyboard ref guide but couldn't find it:

Under live TV. Previous channel is defined as control-w.

That will be the command. But I have to write code to connect up that key so that the plugin will respond to it.

[smacrae]

Oh ok...is that a hard thing? Don't want to put you out if I'm the only complainer....

[psycik]

Not overly. I just need the time to do it.

And it a fine line between only complainer and only user and I suspect you're the only one sort from me using it. But hey I wrote it for me and I can see this new key being useful.

[smacrae]

Cool...thanks...

I think a lot of people would use the plugin if we could have the menu Movies and TV Show on the main menu and album art was cached...I guess the prev key is something I'd like.

Thanks for your effort though...

[psycik]

Added new version.

[smacrae]

thanks :-)

The plugin looks very interesting.
I have an existing Plex install and I'm looking to try out NPVR with it.

I've downloaded the plugin 7.3 from the top of the thread.
Installed but I'm unable to get it to talk to the PMS. The configuration never finds the server and after I exit and start NPVR client the config is blank.

I have no logs directory or xml file in the plugin directories. I get the feeling I'm missing something.

edit: Okay read some NPVR docs and found the data directories (logs). I will start looking there.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Ron

Okay, I have figured out that on XP the install directory mentioned in the top of the thread is incorrect.
Should be the data directory c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\NPVR not the c:\Program Files\npvr directory.

I have logs now and an xml config file.
I seem to get a connection but no data. An empty screen when selection "Plex"


"error trying to populate list at \library\sections" error pops up on the screen.
Below is the log entry with an exception error.

Sorry about the path problems.

In the config, there's a show or hide section, where it will either hide sections specified, or show them. Yours should be "hide" sections - can you confirm this is correct (and maybe for arguments sake put "shows" in the list.
