You can download 2.2.6 from http://www.gbpvr.com/NPVRSetup_2_2_6.exe.

This is a relatively small release, but there is a few things I wanted to get into the hands of users now.

If you're new to NextPVR, see the list of pre-requisite software at: http://www.nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php?...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:
Quote:- added support for 'copy-freely' cablecard channels with Hauppauge DCR-2650 and HDHomeRun Prime. (Need to have the SD software from http://www.silicondust.com/support/hdhomerun/downloads/ installed).
- improved handling when switching to channels that were either encrypted or off-air.
- added a new method for external apps to easily watch live tv streams from NextPVR. For example, on a client machine with VLC, open a network connection to http://<server>:8866/live?channel=2 to watch channel 2.
- fixed a problem with multiple Colossus device in the one machine
- fixed an incorrect on screen message shown when auto commercial skipping is toggled off then back on.
- added ability for skins to draw lines using skin statements like <Line location1="0,0" location2="100,50" color="Blue" width="5"/>
- fixed a bug where recordings moved to another device at recording time could trying using the old device's tuning info (which can be wrong when devices have the same channel via different inputs, or different device types.
- fixed a bug where NScriptHelper.exe wasnt working on 64bit machines.
- fixed a crash that was happening for some users when watching live tv with a Colossus device
- fixed a scanning issue with some ATSC/QAM channels
- added a popup for selecting which subtitle stream to view
- added a class that plugins can use for looking up key mappings from a custom keymapping.xml
- fixed a problem that could cause digital data channels to appear as MPEG2 on QAM
- added support for madVR video renderer. This video render seems very flakey to me (for example, switching between window and fullscreen mode), but I've added support it for those that want to experiment with it.
- improved support for 3rd party IRecorder plugins.
- added GenericImportChannelsForm for IRecorder plugins that want to use it
- greatly improved the time required to save new channels when importing a large number of channels from xmltv or schedules direct.
- improved the auto-merge feature.
- added option to enable/disable the default handling for MCE remotes.
- added logging around recording importation to help diagnose problems.
- fixed problem that could cause high CPU usage when viewing the menu screens when configured to use TV Viewer mode, or when Direct3D was not available.
- watched indicator now only set if you've made it at least 60 seconds into the recording.
- added ability to delete recordings with the 'record' key (Ctrl-K) in Recordings screen.
- better support for H.264 aspect ratio detection
- added support for "CutAway" element in the horizontal main menu
- speed improvements to the time it required to save the channels when you click 'ok' in the 'import channels' screen for HDPVR/Colossus/Analog devices.
- when scrolling through now/next channel info with the up/down keys in live tv, you can press the blue key (Alt-B) to see show details.

lots of nice improvements, as always.

does this release also include the skipping improvement you mentioned week or so ago where it tries to skip to I-Frames?

This release does align skips with iframes, but I didnt notice any difference so didnt bother listing it - the demux still wants to deliver audio packets prior to video.

ok, just checking as that was a feature I was interested in trying. I agree though it may have no effect on the situation.

Installed without issue. Now if I only had my DCR 2650 to play with. The VLC stream from a client works well.

Sub, regarding the crash/stop of NextPVR reported in another forum; I have now also experienced the same behaviour during playback of a SD h.264 recording. Not seen on MPEG playback so far.

No. sub recommends using the original "QAM" capture source. As soon as I get a chance, I want to play with the new method though.

I like the new "...please wait..." pop-up when starting LiveTV. It's always nice to get immediate confirmation that something is happening if it's going to take any longer than 500ms or so. There are probably other places that could use a 'please wait', but it's an excellent start.

I wonder though if instead of the literal "please wait" text, if it might be more polished to use some sort of universally understood graphic for 'busy' or 'in progress'. Is this controlled by the skin, or is the "...please wait..." text hard-coded?
