I successfully got NPVR on my new Windows 11 computer, but haven't really used this great program for months as my 10-year old Win 7 machine had "overheat" issues.
I use zap2it and then tell manually NPVR to update - I think it reads the xml file then checks channels by frequency? I use OTA as source.
The Guide looked right at first glance, but it isn't - it is off by one hour. Example - 60 Minutes on Sunday night is at 6 PM, but the Guide has it at 5 PM. Everything in TV Guide on NPVR is off by an hour, one hour earlier than it actually is. ??? I am in US Mountain Time Zone with Daylight Savings Time.
When I look at Zap2it.com - the times are right - example, 60 Min is at 6 PM. So I seem to have that set right, and it used to work fine.
My computer clock settings are correct - time zone and Daylight = proper time on the clock in the system tray.
I looked at the xmltv.xml file in Firefox, but I can barely make sense of it, much less analyze how NextPVR uses it. I am essentially .xml illiterate - moving around in that huge file is very slow.
I am trying to attach that file, but it doesn't seem to be working. Whether I drag it over, or click and then browse, it seems to put the 9.2 Meg file there momentarily but then puts a red X on it. Maybe NextPVR is using it as I am recording a test. I'll have to wait until that finishes and try again. Later - Recording is done, but I still get the red X. Guess I need help with that first! I have no idea why it isn't working. Should be simple!
I'll post this, then see if I can open it and then post the .xml file.
Help? Thanks in advance.
