I am new to NextPVR and hoping it will work better than WMC.
My #1 desire is to be able to watch recorded shows from my Samsung SmartTV. The TV will play a variety of file types but not ones created by WMC. I tried a few file converters but couldn't get those to work. Plus I like the ability to schedule via the web on NPVR.
My setup is a Silicon Dust HDHomeRun Dual for the tuners, a Win7 e-machines PC with sufficient power but not much extra and an external USB drive for storage, Basic cable (Metrocast) which is clear-QAM which the TV and HDHR can decide without any problems.
The HD HomeRun apps work fine and I can watch TV on the PC using the silicon dust apps.
I have downloaded NPVR 3.1.1 and applied the R1a patches.
Firewall is OFF (for now - once I get NPVR to work I'll turn it back on).
I can get NPVR to scan for channels and it appears to work. though the channel mapping does not match the HDHR but I am OK with going thru and mapping them by hand as I'm really only interested in a dozen or so channels (skip the shopping channels!).
I installed the XMLTV grabber and made a .bat file that also seems to work for the few channels I have properly configured for now.
But when I click on LiveTV, NPVR thinks about it for several seconds, then tunes to the channel (the channel # and name come up in the title bar), but there is no video.
Attached are the logs.
Can anyone give me a clue where to go next?
Thanks in advance!
