Hi
First i would like to say that NextPVR may be the product i have been looking for, in terms of functionality, ease of use and simplicity. This except for the showstopping problems i am experiencing:
System info first:
Windows 7, fully updated, Different USB tuners: PCTV NanoStick 73e (single tuner), Elgato EyeTV Diversity USB stick (twin tuner), Hauppauge WinTV NOVA DUET (twin tuner).
NextPVR: 2.5.9 with Cumulative Update - January 12, 2013 - NPVR 2.5.9 Patches R2
Provider: Norwegian RiksTV DVB-T with MPEG4 HD streams and HE-AAC audio, unencrypted (free to air) channels set up only only.
Here is how the problem appears:
First i will start live TV and all will be working as expected, then i will press ESC and the main menu appears. From this point live TV will only render a black screen, and all attempted recordings will be zero length. No restarts of NPVR client or Service, will fix the problem, The only thing that i have found to restore normal operation is physically unplugging and replugging the usb tuner. I have tried this on all the three mentioned USB tuners, in combinations one or more tuners attached at the same time. I have also installed NPVR on two different systems and the problem appear the same on both:
1. Shuttle XS35GTV2, 4 GB RAM, Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit (Win Mediacenter completely removed as feature).
2. Hp EliteBook 8530p, 4 GB RAM, Windows 7 professional 32 bit.
Comments to attached logs:
2013-02-01 00:56:18.761: I start the first live TV session by. This all works great with picture and sound
2013-02-01 00:56:46.663: I press ESC key to exit from live TV to main menu.
2013-02-01 00:56:53.880: I start the second attempt at viewing live TV, and there will only be black screen. Notice that all subsequent "GetDuration" log entries report "0", like there is no data streaming from the tuner. Probably explains the fact that any recording started after this will also be zero length.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
