Did the recording create a file with data in it (i.e. not zero bytes) in the recordings folder (as specified here http://www.nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php?....Recording ) ? Does that file play when you double click it and play it with Windows Media Player? Standard def (i.e. not HD) channels in UK are all MPEG2 Video and MPEG1 Audio. I suggest that you try and set those two decoders to LAV Video and LAV Audio. Set all other decoders to disabled. Set Audio Renderer to Default. Here ... http://www.nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php?...n.Decoders

And finally, it looks as if your valiant efforts so far have left the NextPVR database in a bit of a pickle ... that is probably why some channels give a different result to other channels. You might like to start over with a new clean database. Delete npvr.db3 (it's in the folder that contains the Logs folder) and restart nextpvr.exe and this will create a clean new database ... rescan on both? tuners and hit the Update EPG button. That should get all channels working the same.

3uHello

Thanks Graham for you input and words of encouragement i am trying to get this setup working and having trouble and i have cancelled my sky subdcription as of last week aaaarrghhh...

Anyway back on topic the recording that failed there was no megabytes and could not do anything the recording that hade no audio in Npvr worked fine on media player ..

Then i have followed alll your instructions on refreshing the system but i have still the same problem and the channels have gone more haywire now on Npvr and xbmc which only works intermitantly with jeremy kyle on bbc 1 !!! lol

Just a quick question could this be a hardware related issue because i am using play tv tuner which i had lying around..

Logs in next post...

The logs folder that you attach never contains the current nrecord.log. I suspect that the rar program that you use does not process open files. Your logs attachment will be more useful if you use Windows Explorer ... right click on folder ... Send to Compressed Folder ... This should create a zip file that you can attach to your posts.

The logs that I looked at showed ffdshow being used. It will make it easier if we stick to just one set of decoders (LAV) until we have it all up and running.

Please do not try extra stuff like playing Live TV and XBMC because it fills the logs and makes it hard to see what's going on. Please do the following as closely as possible (I may have forgotten some steps) ...

Stop the NextPVR Recording Service ... there is a shortcut in the start menu.
Delete all of the files in the logs folder.
Delete npvr3.db3
Re-boot
Start NextPVR
Go to Settings and make sure that your tuners are present in Devices.
Make sure that you channels are present in Channels
Go to Decoders and set MPEG2 Video to LAV Video
Set MPEG1 Audio to LAV Audio
Click Update EPG.
Reboot to make sure that the recording service picks up npvr.db3
Record one show only.
Play the one show that you recorded.
Zip the logs using Windows Explorer
Post again.

It still looks as if this is a simple configuration and decoder hiccup. Good Luck.

Once again thank you the instructions were clear for a novice like me to follow.

Im afraid no joy though the recording does not play i have attached the log.
Although the recorded file does play on media player.

Astonishing. Those logs appear to show a flawless recording of Bake Off and ending at about 16.15 and then a flawless playing of the recording at about 16.20.

What are the symptoms? Video? Audio? What happens when you play the recording using Windows Media Player? Thanks.

Playing on Npvr gives me nothing but a blank screen with no audio, after i tried on wmp and everything is as it shoould be just played the file ..

Also to note i had to try it in xbmc and the channel listing issue seems to be cleared up and at the moment is giving me all the channels with no problem and i played the recording with no problems ????

Any explanations ?

Do your LAV decoders have too many bits? NextPVR is a 32-bit application and needs 32-bit versions of decoders (even on 64 bit Windows).

On Settings --> Decoders ... is Video Renderer on EVR and Audio Renderer on Default? What happens when you set Video and Audio Decoders to Microsoft DTV-DVD ?

I checked Video Decoder on my machine before I posted but I didn't check Audio. I have now checked and I don't have a Microsoft Audio decoder and I don't know why not.

I use decoders from the SAF pack and that may be the easiest way to get where you need to be. Uninstall LAV and ffdshow (and anything else). Send a forum private message to Hoborg asking for the "unlocked" version of SAF and ask if you are okay with 64 bit Windows 7. http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post414049
