Trying to Migrate to NPVR

[mrgtstr]

Been using gbpvr for years now and have decided to migrate to npvr. For the most part it hasn't been too painful. I ran into two snags...getting npvr to recognize my Hauppauge PVR150 and finding a syntax error in the html file for starting npvr via my popcorn. Not sure if I found a bug, but I installed npvr using the nmtinstall2.exe and the html file that the nmtinstall2 provided had the first syntax below and changing it to the bottom one got npvr working on the popcorn.

nmtinstall2 syntax

Code:

"http://localhost.drives:8883/NETWORK_SHARE/servername:mvpmc/npvr.cgi"

Working for me syntax

Code:

"http://localhost.drives:8883/NETWORK_SHARE/mvpmc/npvr.cgi"

Prior to getting npvr working on the popcorn I made sure all was well on the server as far as watching TV and using the TV guide. Unfortunately I can't watch TV through the popcorn. I can pull up the menu screen and thumb through the guide but no TV watching. I have attached my logs for some appreciated help. Thanks...

"http://localhost.drives:8883/NETWORK_SHARE/mvpmc/npvr.cgi" works because you actually changed your Share Name to mvpmc on the NMT at one time. NMTInstall assumes no manual editing of the name on the NMT This is the biggest configuration problem by far.

Could you try again I'd like to see a new set of logs. First stop the recording service and then kill all the NextPVR.exe and NTray.exe task and restart the recording service.

Thanks for the quick response!

Here are some recent logs. When I select a TV show the screen goes black for a few seconds and then goes back to the guide if that helps.

You didn't send web.log so I am guessing it didn't change, this is the file I was looking for. You might have a firewall problem need to open both NRecord.exe and NextPVR.exe through for the web server to work.

Also could you confirm that the version of mvpmx2 you are running is dated Sept 4 it is compatible with GBPVR but older versions are not compatible with NPVR.

Sorry about that. Here is an updated log file.

The mvpmcx2 is dated Nov 13, 2009.

On a different note and to see if I understood you with the syntax below.....


If the share on the popcorn is manually added in, the one below works. If its not manually added in on the popcorn, using the syntax that is loaded with the nmtinstall2 is the way to go?

"http://localhost.drives:8883/NETWORK_SHARE/mvpmc/npvr.cgi" works because you actually changed your Share Name to mvpmc on the NMT at one time. NMTInstall assumes no manual editing of the name on the NMT This is the biggest configuration problem by far.

You certainly need to update mvpmcx2 before NPVR will work, but it is better for GBPVR too.

NMTInstall is based on following these instructions http://forums.gbpvr.com//showthread.php?...post336497 There is nothing wrong with choosing your own name, if you are willing to edit the html file.
