[sub]

You can download 2.1.4 from http://www.gbpvr.com/NPVRSetup_2_1_4.exe.

If you're new to NextPVR, see the list of pre-requisite software at: http://www.gbpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.ph...Pre-requisites (directx runtime, visual c++ runtime etc). If you're upgrading from an earlier build, you need to make sure you stop the NPVR software before installing.

Please post any support issues in the support forum.

From the change log:

2.1.4
- added analog channel scanning
- added blu-ray support to both 'video library' and 'DVD' in main menu. To play Blu-Ray you need AnyDVD-HD installed, aswell as the LAV Splitter. This will get you playback of the main movie, not menus.
- added support for more than one Hauppauge Colossus
- added Teletext support. Ctrl-T to start in live tv.
- added Teletext subtitle support.
- added support for 3rd party IRecorder plugins for those that want to implement their own recording plugins.
- added logic to enable playback of TS files that have PAT/PMT entries for channels that dont exist in the .TS file.
- added simple search screen, much like the old search screen in GBPVR. Users upgrading from earlier versions may need to go into Settings->Plugins to enable it. New install will already have it enabled.
- fixed an issue that was stopping an Australian channel from working in live tv. Other channels may have had the same issue.
- displaying channel names slightly wider in tv guide if channel icon doesnt exist.
- OSD timeouts now configurable in config.xml
- added a 'Use Reverse Priority For Live TV' for the tuner ordering, for those that prefer it to work like GBPVR with top-down priority for recording, and bottom-up priority for live tv
- fixed a crash that could occur with manual recurring recordings (where 'keep' was set to something other than 'all')
- fixed an issue with typing a channel number in the TV Guide and selected show details wouldnt update (aswell as selected show highlighting).
- fixed issue with 'Record All Episodes, All Channels' (relating to shows with single quotes in the title)
- fixed an issue that could cause an MVP server to not clean up correctly after disconnection
- fixed a DVB-S diseqc issue with low band channels.
- fixed an issue which could playback to hang on client if the recording was played right to the very end of the file.
- added support for folder.png. Previously it'd only look for folder.jpg.
- fixed issue that could cause previously loaded preview artwork (like folder.jpg) to sometimes disappear after viewing a couple of hundred other items with preview artwork
- fixed a problem where sometimes NPVR window would start too large (in previous windowed location, but with the size of the desktop resolution, and bottom right of window hanging off the screen)
- added support for .m3u playlist files in the Music Library
- added support for Windows directory shortcuts in Video/Music/Picture library
- fixed a problem with the recordings highlighted in the TV Guide timeline when skipping back/forward a day
- fixed a problem with recording shows that have names ending with dots "..." etc
- fixed a problem where app would sometimes start fullscreen sized, but in windows position, so window pushes past the bottom/right of the screen
- fixed a problem where it could take a while for the song name at the bottom of the screen to update after switching songs.
- made some additional settings (used by the the recording/web server) dynamic so that nrecord didnt need to be restarted
- fixed bug where hot keys wouldnt work when music playback was active.
- added support for Turbosight CI (TBS devices)
- pressing 'play' with a folder selected in the picture library will now do a slide show of files contained within that folder, including nested folders it contains.
- if a recording fails to start due to an error, the recording service will attempt to find a another available device that can do the recording
- improved tuner usage logic to make it more likely for recordings to include padding in multi-tuner setups
- tray icon now goes red when recording service is using a device
- fixed a problem with high CPU usage in the screen saver
- slightly changed the way cover art is loaded in the Video Library to give better performance and background loading of images.
- added API for plugins to block/unblock screen saver
- added API for plugins to check if music is playing
- updated the tuning files for DVB-S, and for a most UK DVB-T regions
- improved handling of errors when attempting to enter directories with no permission to do so in Video/Music/Picture library. It'll no show a 'directory unavailable' message.
- fixed DVB EPG issue with 'epg updates during live tv' that could duplicate entries in the TV Guide
- improvements for live tv skipping on NMT.
- fixed an issue that could cause customized library directory settings to be lost during upgrade.
- music playback now toggles pause status on multiple presses of the pause key
- added "-export" and "-import c:\somepath.xml" command line options for importing/exporting recordings
- fixed a problem that could lead to duplicate channels on setups with more than one HDPVR
- in the bulk map screen I've added an 'auto-merge channels with the same name' button, which might be useful for users with channels on different types of device that would like channels with the same name to treated as the same channel.
- fixed an issue with HDMI audio on Colossus capture devices
- added ability resume DVDs
- added checkboxes for enabling/disabling resume prompting for DVDs or Video Library.

Great stuff. Looking forward to giving it a go. The auto merge channels will be great for us Freeview/Freesat UK users.

added Teletext support. Ctrl-T to start in live tv.

This does nothing in live TV from a Hauppauge NOVA-T showing UK "Freeview" digital TV. Is it supposed to?

I dont think they use Teletext on Freeview in the UK, so this sounds correct.

No option for setting a default audio stream in DVB?

You mean like a preferred language? You should be able to set <LanguagePreference1> and <LanguagePreference2> in config.xml to the three character language codes you'd prefer to listen to. For example, <LanguagePreference1>eng</LanguagePreference1>
