Getting "No Content Found On Server" on PCH with Windows 10 Pro

Mon, 01 Jun 2020 16:32:35 +0000

I still can't get my PCH A110 to access the mvpmc shared folder on Windoze 10 Pro (build 1909). I'm pulling my hair out on this one. I have been using my NMTs for 9+ years on my Win7 NextPVR installation, although as I recall I had a battle getting that share to work originally as well.

Notes:
My NMTs can and do work with NextPVR on my dying Windohs 7 Pro PC.
I have the latest v4.2.5 installed on both the dying Win7 and new Win10 machines.
I do have Kodi v18.6 and knewc add-on working with both the new and old PCs (Win7 and Win10 machines).

I've tried dozens of combinations of settings, I've lost track.

I have tried the procedures in these links:
https://www.howtogeek.com/126214/how-to-...windows-8/
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/wind...78f679e428
http://files.syabas.com/popcornhour/down...ssword.pdf

I tried with firewall turned off. I tried using REGEDIT to create a DWORD value called 'AllowInsecureGuestAuth' in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters and set this new value to 1.
I've tried the Guest account and with user/password. 40/56 and 128bit encryption. Media sharing enabled and disabled. Public network access on and off.

After running up and down the stairs enough times to make a fitness instructor jealous, I finally moved a PCH into my office next to the Win10 box.
Here's the results of NMTcheck on that PCH from the Win10 machine:

Unable to resolve the host name

Mon, 14 May 2018 02:48:13 +0000

Earlier today I had a well-behaved NPVR setup with two NMT devices. I believe installation of some new hardware has fouled up my settings. Now when I select mvpmc I'm getting the error "unable to resolve the host name". I've spent the last hour or two checking everything I can think of, but getting nowhere fast.

Here's the syntax check:

Pch wol

Thu, 30 Nov 2017 15:57:55 +0000

I want to try and let my server rest occasionally so I have set up USB drives to boot my PCHs, which work great, but I want to implement WOL to nudge the server. The old posts on how to set this up suggest ether-wake but the link to Martins zip no longer works - any chance I can get a copy from somewhere, assuming that's still the best option.
Cheers for all and any instructions/help.

Can no longer watch recordings on NMT

Wed, 30 Aug 2017 01:58:18 +0000

I seem to no longer be able to watch anything I have recorded on the NMT. I am not sure exactly when it happened. I can scroll through menus and everything, but when I try to play anything, it goes black, but returns to the Recordings screen after a second or so. I would think it is something to do with the firewall, but I checked and I still have everything opened for NextPVR.exe and NRecord.exe. I rebooted last Thursday. I am pretty sure I have watched something on the NMT since then.

A little before 9:30, I stopped the recording service, started the recording service, turned on the NMT, went into Recordings, went into the menu for the first item, "People of Earth", and selected "Play". I, then exited and turned off the NMT, stopped the recording service and grabbed the attached logs.

Latest Windows 10 update broke things

Sat, 17 Jun 2017 15:41:49 +0000

So last night I installed the latest "super" update for Windows 10. And after my PC had rebooted I discovered that my 2 NMT's no longer work.

Not sure where to start. Here's the output from NMT Syntax Check. Note that originally the Username and Password were blank-- the information that's in the report below was added by me in a desperate attempt to self-diagnose before coming here.

Mucic not playing complete tracks

Mon, 13 Mar 2017 00:11:30 +0000

Foolishly (maybe) yesterday I updated to 3.9.2 so I could update JustRetro for the wiki

Today on my sittingroom NMT I can no longer listen to a playlist (which I do nearly every day) using sub's music plugin as it will only play each track for 15/20 seconds before moving onto the next track. Clean logs attached of only this process after re-starting the recording service.

Windows 10 shares

I am not sure this has been posted, but I figured I would post it again since it helped me get my share working better under windows 10.

upgraded to Win10, now A-110's don't work

Wed, 27 Jul 2016 01:30:54 +0000

I upgraded to Windows 10, everything with NPVR appears to work fine on the desktop. However, I have 2 A-110's which are both not connecting. When it boots, I see my network share, select it, but then get "Invalid username or password".

It's been years since I last went through this setup. I seem to recall I had to setup a Guest account in Win7? Is that still the case? In any case, I could use some direction from someone who's more familiar with the setup process. Thanks!

help setting up new NMT

Fri, 08 Apr 2016 01:54:06 +0000

I am trying to set up a new NMT in a working NPVR environment. I get as far as the NMT booting up correctly to the "Start" menu, I navigate over to the right-most icon, select it, select NPVR, and then the screen just goes black. The NPVR menu never appears.

MVP server binds to 127.0.0.1 after resume from standby

Sun, 20 Mar 2016 12:25:48 +0000

Hi,

I've upgraded my server, and it looks that an autostarted MVP server no longer binds to the server's external IP address after resuming from S3, but to the local loopback address 127.0.0.1 only, and my PCH won't connect. The following is logged in nrecord.log / mvp.log when resuming from standby:

I've already tried to add an implicit mapping from the server's hostname ("Kruemelmonster") to the external IP address, 192.168.178.10, but apparently still 127.0.0.1 is used.

After a regular boot or a restart of the server, it picks the external IP address correctly, and the PCH is able to connect without problems. Is there a way to statically configure the address, or is there anything else I could do?

NMT for New TV - Suggestions

Sat, 20 Feb 2016 19:39:26 +0000

We're looking to add a TV in the house and will need an NMT to go with it. We're not sure what to buy. We currently have two PCH A100's in use with two TVs and want the same kind of capability on the new TV.

What hardware are folks buying now? We haven't needed to buy any clients since we purchased the A100s years ago.

Thanks!

NPVR Settings keep adding Clients in Client Tab

Fri, 29 Jan 2016 14:13:11 +0000

As I've been testing X-NEWA/Kodi on a RPi2 as well as added Kodi to my desktop, the client tab has automatically added the MAC Addresses (Local if Local) to the list of devices in the Clients Tab of the settings menu.

All well and good, BUT it seems like it keeps auto-adding the same Kodi devices, multiple times.
I keep deleting them out of the list but they seem to keep getting added :confused:. It's like groundhog day.
I think it happens when I turn off the devices and restart the, but why if they are already listed, are they re-added?

Any ideas?

"Unable to find a version of the runtime"

Mon, 09 Nov 2015 20:08:37 +0000

I'm trying to set up NMT on another computer and the NMTInstall seems to have completed successfully, but when I run NMTChecker it gives me this. What have I missed? What runtime?

playback through PCH A110 is cropped

Sun, 04 Oct 2015 21:54:53 +0000

I've recently discovered that when playing back recordings through my PCH A110, some of the picture (quite a lot, actually), is being cut off. The picture also appears to be stretched horizontally. I've noticed for some time that the menus are somewhat cutoff, but not to the point where they're not readable, so I never worried about it. But there surely must be some adjustment for this? Is this something that is set within the Settings of NPVR, or is it in the settings on the A110 itself? If someone could point me in the right direction I would be grateful.

Hey guys (Martin, I guess),

I decided to have some fun and got a PCH A-110 off ebay. Trying to set it up, it all looks good, but the NMTInstall2 dies on this error:

I found an old post regarding this, I think: http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...nstall.xml

I think I have followed the dummies guide properly, here is the syntax check:
