Hello,
I am new to nextpvr and after having spent some time setting everything up, I have come to a point where everything is working fine but missing a few features that I am not sure is included in nextpvr or is available as an addon/plugin or is not available at all. I did some searches here but couldn't find the answers I was looking for so I am posting this for help!
I initially setup my htpc with wmc but since MS doesn't seem to want to improve it anymore, I am looking at nextpvr for a replacement and possibly xbmc+nextpvr (tried xbmc+npvr lately but appears to be not too stable, xbmc will lose connection with npvr after a while saying that no tuners are available or something like that. I need to write down the error msg/get logs but thats for another thread).
-Anyways, the features I was looking for was the equivalent of the Movie Guide you have in wmc, where it will use your guide data and pull all the movies from it and display them all together with the ability to sort for HD only movies for example. Is there something similar in npvr? I found that feature particularly useful, once in a while I would browse the entire movie guide and schedule recordings for upcoming movies. Very easy to see whats coming and to schedule recordings for it. I wish I could do the same in npvr.
-There is also the ability to see a mini guide while watching live tv in wmc where in npvr it is only showing a single channel with the next program. Is there a plugin that could enhance this? Display a 2-3 row mini-guide with the equivalent functionality of the fullscreen guide?
Please note that I have the tvlistings plugin installed (its feature to link to the TVDB is pretty awesome. Wished the process was a bit more automated but its still awesome in its current form!)
Thanks in advance for the help!
Cheers!
