NPVR not working with Hauppauge HP PVR.

[cyclonegt68]

Hi,

I've been using Next PVR for several months now with little to no issues. However, today I noticed a few recordings that did not work. As it turns out we cannot record or watch live tv.

What happens is you can see the USB Uirt change the channel on the Sat tuner, but the Hauppauge box does not light up. You just get a black screen in NPVR. I tried different decoders, nothing. Tried re-installing NPVR, reloaded the drivers for the Hauppauge unit as well.

I know the Hauppauge box is working since Total Media Extreme seems to operate the Hauppauge just fine.

I've attached my logs in case anyone is able to help.

The log shows it trying to recording from the component video input + SPDIF audio. Is this what you're using?

[cyclonegt68]

Component is correct, SPDIF is not. It should be RCA back. I try to change it, and it the setting keeps going back to SPDIF. I'm clicking on OK and it is not saving the setting to RCA Back when I return to the Device Setup button.

This has been coming up a fair bit recently. Seems to be lots more people with HDPVR's popping up.

It doesn't matter what the audio/video inputs dropdowns are currently set to. The channels store a copy of the current settings at the time they're created, so it sounds like it was set to SPDIF at the time you created the channels. Recent versions of the NShared.dll made a change to make this more clear by showing the inputs associated with each channel.

So... I'd start by applying the most recent patches, then delete you existing channels, set the inputs correctly, then reimport the channels.

I downloaded and installed 2.5.9 on October 3rd, so I should have the latest patches, correct?

No, you still need the patches from the sticky patches thread.

[cyclonegt68]

Sorry for the confusion, but I just found the patches so I downloaded them and installed them. Then I did what you said, removed the device, re-imported my channels but I'm still having the same problem.

Hope this helps.

Anyone have any ideas on this? Still can't watch or record tv.

The patches are not in the Oct install. You need the R1 patch http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...arted-info and unfortunately quite a few updates that follow.
