Hi all,
I have been tinkering around trying to get NPVR to work on my Windows 8 computer with HDHomeRun Prime for the past couple months with no success. I've got Windows 8 Pro x64 w/ Windows Media Center (which works great with live TV in WMC). However, I can't get NPVR to give me anything other than a black screen when I switch to live TV. I've tried allowing all programs in C:/program files/npvr through Windows firewall, tried disabling the firewall, installed the R2 patches, installed DirectX 9.0c runtimes and Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 runtimes, used all number of combinations of decoders, and even tried uninstalling/disabling WMC as I've heard it can cause issues with NPVR. I tried all of this on a Windows 7 x64 laptop that I have using EVR renderer, PDVD12 for both video decodings, and LAV audio for all audio decoding and everything worked great. Any help would sincerely be appreciated.
Log folder attached.
Thanks!
