bluescreen during recording: npvr cannot play the file

[V_J]

Hello,

I have a strange situation. My computer bluescreened during a recording (I'm running Windows 10 Technical Preview, and build 9879 has turned out to be more instable than the previous one, so I doubt the bluescreen is related to NPVR). After reboot, NVPR started with a new recording to continue the remainder of the program.

The first part is visible in the recordings-section, but NPVR cannot play back the file. The progress bar at the bottom has very large values both left and right, and the screen stays black on playback (progress indicator does not seem to move, counters stay constant). Interestingly, I can play the file in other software.

So for sure it is not a big deal, but I wonder if it is possible to play it in NPVR...

Can you play the file in another player like VLC? If so, then you should also be able to play it in NextPVR.

If the file is unplayable, then it's probably a sign of the capture device's drivers having problems and producing garbage, probably due to Windows 10).

The file plays without problem in MPC-HC, from front to end, and does not have problems with seeking within the file...

So it is not such a big issue, but I wanted to notify it. NPVR tries to playback, but just shows a black screen in stead of the video. The progress bar in NPVR has a very large integer number on the left and on the right, but the indicator does not move. The recording is a full HD recording from a Compro E900f DVB-T tuner.

If you want to supply a sample recording, I'll download it and take a look.

I'll have to find a place to upload it (it is a recording of The Hobbit, so a 12 GB file... ).

I'm not going to want to download a 12GB file. Use a utility like cutchunk to grab a 1GB or smaller chunk for me to look at.

Ok, I did not know a part of the file would suffice (I thought it might cause it not to work at all). I'll see what I can do! I suspect it should be from the start?

Yeah, that's from the start is probably best. Try playing it there to confirm you still have the problem.
