3.4.8 available (25th April)

[sub]

You can download 3.4.8 from http://www.nextpvr.com/NPVRSetup_3_4_8.exe

If you're upgrading from a previous release, remember to make sure you stop NextPVR before running the upgrade.

Please post any support issues in the support forum.

Changes:

- added support for multi-record on HDHR devices
- added HDHomeRun tuner locking, to stop other applications from being able to steal tuners
- speed up stopping of HDHR graphs
- added diseqc support for a wider range of devices, including Digital Devices, Pinnacle, AnySee and a couple of others
- added support for SAT>IP devices
- digital scanning now shows provider information if known
- added ability to sort scan results by clicking any of the columns, for making it easier to find specific channles in a long list of results.
- added ability for channel groups to have a different sort order than the channel numbers. This effects the order channels are shown in the TV Guide etc.
- added support for listing/switching audio tracks, and subtitle tracks, on a wider range of video files like mkv files etc (if source filter support standard IAMStreamSelect interface).
- added ability to edit digital channel tuning properties on the Setting->Channel screen, in channel settings. (previously you could do this, but have to get into the channel via the Settings->Devices screen, and had to do it separate for each tuner mapped to the channel)
- 'groups' screen now shows more information about the channels, and allows you to drag and drop to adjust the order within a channel group.
- improved error reporting in the case of a HDHomeRun Prime recording failing to start
- HDHR-TC now only lists QAM/ATSC (not HDHR) options in Settings->Devices screen, to minimize confusion.
- changed titlebar from 'nPVR' to 'NextPVR'. Sorry if this causes any issues with remote control apps. I'd been reluctant to do it in the past for this reason, but I got sick of looking at it and wanted it changed.
- if you tries to play a non-.ts file in client mode, it now gives them a message to tell them "this file type is not compatible with client mode"
- added "-first" and "-second" commandline parameters which can be used to override the "start on second monitor" setting
- fixed a problem where webclient could restart with lower resolution UI
- added a "method=system.log&type=error&msge=asdasdasdasdasd" api that web client can use for logging in web.log. Default type if not specified is 'debug'. Also supports 'info', 'error', 'warn'.
- added a "method=recording.lastupdated" api to get the time of last change to the recording list
- fixed a 'divide by zero' crash that could occur in NPVRTSReader.ax with files with broken timeline.
- added a 'forget' menu item in the Recordings screen, so you can forget a recording, allowing it to be recorded again.
- added ability to strip prefixes from show EPG titles when the EPG is imported, and have default it to include a few common nuisance that some broadcasters use (like "All New ...");
- changes to the metadata screens to make them more usable from the Recording screen. ie, now shows recording date, subtitle, changes to the multi-file screen layout to have buttons for resume etc, supporting the user-defined red/green/yellow/blue color tags.
- added a info screen when playing videos, accessed via Ctrl-I, which shows information about video or live stream being watched (codec, resolution, signal strength etc). I'll probably add further info to this during the pre-release cycles.
- added support for MCE remote zoom/aspect button to toggle aspect ratio
- fixed issue webserver not parsing requests correctly
- 'Import Recording' feature can now import an individual .ts file by pointing at external xml file produced when using <StoreSeparateMetadataXml>.
- wider popups for selecting subtitle/audio streams, to accommodate longer descriptions
- fixed issue with description of MKV subtitles.
- fixed a long standing bug where attempts to overwrite a recording with a recording of the same name could cause a broken recording with only small samples every 10 seconds or so
- fixed an HDPVR xml error that could occur with some blaster executables or args.
- more graceful exit from live tv if you kill recording service while watching tv. Previously you'd get a persistent message box that was difficult to get rid of.
- remove spammy "GetDuration returning ...." log message
- fixed error where video library list position could get messed up, making it difficult to get to some items.
- updated Schedules Direct support to include a wide set of countries, include some European countries (including automapping where possible).
- added titles to audio/subtitle selection popups (thanks for the taking the work out of it for me Whurlston!)
- fixed issue with conflict recordings being include as upcoming recordings in the "method=recording.list"
- settings screen is now larger. Some screens were very cramped, and it was hard to find space for some new settings I wanted.
- added a 'use S01E01 style file naming if possible' setting.
- added a 'Use Movie.Name.(YEAR) format for movies if possible' setting.
- running "-emptydb" will also cause the Setting screen to show, like a fresh install
- fixed a bug where mouse could hide while Settings screen is visible, making it hard to do anything
- moved to most recent Schedules Direct API
- more accurately reporting Hauppauge HDPVR2 and Colossus2 model names
- improvements to teletext subtitle rendering
- now possible to control teletext subtitle delay. Previously you could only control the delay on DVB Subtitles.
- now showing " (SxxExx)" in Recordings screen if this info is known.
- improvements to recording export to ensure all show details are exported (star-rating, genre etc, which were previously missing) and to fix the start/end times.
- fixed problem where mouse could auto hide while settings screen is visible
- fixed problem that cause only a single color flag to be exported with recordings
- fixed problem with season/episode info on the new Schedules Direct API
- increase maximum subtitle delay
- handling age info like "(13)" from the end of name when looking for metadata
- handling (T), (S), ® when looking for metadata
- added support for retrieving artwork from Schedules Direct for those people using this EPG service.
- fixed issue with range header when streaming via HTTP
- updated NEWA

Thank you! HDHomeRun multi-record works just as good as atsc for me so far.

Could someone go into the detail(s) of what is required to trigger:

- added a 'use S01E01 style file naming if possible' setting.
- added a 'Use Movie.Name.(YEAR) format for movies if possible' setting.

You need an EPG with this info, like Schedules Direct, and then it'll use these naming formats.

Downloaded this update but now no sound--believe I've enabled all audio codecs properly. With previous release audio was fine.

Coupled with no audio is no OSD for volume + or - or mute. When running WMC audio is present and controllable.

All else seems good---really love NextPVR!

Post it in the Support forum, along with your npvr.log, and I'll take a look for you.

Awesome - just like a facility I use in TVxB, only now it is built-in. Any chance of a similar one for Suffixes in the next update :-)
