Hauppauge DCR-2650 Work with NPVR? XBMC?

Actually location where 0 byte recording files were found was C:\npvr. WinTV is storing them in C:\temp

These symptoms usually point to firewall software stopping network traffic coming from the device to nrecord.exe.

Even though it's a USB device, it operates as a network adapter.

Firewall exceptions need to be created for NextPVR.exe, NRecord.exe and NDigitalHost.exe. You might be using Windows Firewall or your anti-virus software's firewall. (Using both at the same time is generally not recommended.)

You can set the directory where recordings are stored to any place you wish under Settings - Recording. I created a new folder in C:\Users\Public called NPVR Recordings. (Media Center's folder is named Recorded TV.)

You guys are AMAZING!.... I'm only using Windows Firewall. After adding NRecord.exe and NDigitalHost.exe almost EVERYTHING is working now. I was able to record a 13 minute video file from a channel.
I am now also able to see a live TV channel on NPVR (so the BLACK SCREEN is gone), switch channels, etc... This is GREAT ! EXCEPT I am not getting any sound when watching Live TV on NPVR. Is this another codec problem?

Thanks!

[Sonogre]

OK - all solved with the following settings:

AC3 Audio: Hauppauge AC3 Decoder
E-AC3 Audio: Hauppauge E-AC3 Decoder
AAC Audio: ArcSoft Audio Decoder HD
HE-ACC Audio: ArcSoft Audio Decoder HD

These are the settings being used by the WinTV installation.....

Thanks !

Sounds good! If your channels are all digital, then Hauppauge AC3 Decoder is probably the one doing all the work. With a channel playing, you can right-click and move mouse pointer to Audio Stream to verify.

[Sonogre]

WELL...... Almost there. No sound when watching Live TV in XBMC. Otherwise sound is working within XBMC for all other tabs.
Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Sonogre

Problem solved.... Changed the Audio Output in XBMC to ANALOG - don't know how it was set to HDMI..... WOW so now I have NVPR, WinTV, Windows Media Center AND XBMC working on one PC... OK, now I'm quitting while I'm ahead :O)

[Sonogre]

I'm watching ONE channel on XBMC on one tuner and recording another channel on Windows Media Center (a subscription/pay channel) on the other tuner - AWESOME !!!!!!!!

Glad you figured that out. I don't know beans about XBMC myself, but there's also an XBMC forum at gbpvr.com on down the list from NextPVR Support.

[Edit] Did you get SchedulesDirect listings yet?
