RE: NextPVR (NPVR) First Impressions - T800 - 2012-10-03

I just had a quick play with NextPVR and I can't believe how easy it to set up compared to For The Record!
Just need a working addon for the latest Windows Alpha.

For NextPVR to work does it have to be started as an app or can it be a service on start up?


RE: NextPVR (NPVR) First Impressions - KRA77 - 2012-10-03

You just need the recorder service to run, not the frontend gui


RE: NextPVR (NPVR) First Impressions - kricker - 2012-10-03

You just need the app to configure it. For XMBC to work with it just the service needs to be running and it should get setup to start automatically when you installed NPVR.

If Wiley doesn't post a new "official" version soon. I can post a link to the build I just made.

EDIT:
Yup, seems to be back in working order. I'm watching a HD channel in XBMC right now.

On a side note, I have some HD channels that do not play smoothly. I'm not sure if this is an XBMC thing or NPVR or a combination of the 2.

same here, some of the channels get miscolored randomized colors and some of them have audio skips while the others don't.

Are you using DXVA enabled ?


RE: NextPVR (NPVR) First Impressions - kricker - 2012-10-03

Mine just stutter. It is random though. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't.

just a heads up guys, probably time to start posting these issues outside of this "NextPVR (NPVR) First Impressions" thread as it's going WAYY off topic and becoming somewhat of a a troubleshooting thread. Can start becoming very confusing. It'll be much easier to follow production if we start to utilize the NPVR thread a little more productivly

Yes, I'm fairly certain your problem don't belong in this thread Smile I would suggest you create a new thread in a playback/dxva related subforum maybe in "general help and support forum" ? I think you would get more directed help there. Seems like a dxva or graphics driver problem or etc.

Xbmc loads channels and epg but nothing happens if trying to play livetv. Any ideas? But i can play recordings witout problem.

If you can post the question over at the NextPVR forums (http://forums.gbpvr.com/forumdisplay.php?54-XBMC), along with your xbmc.log, and web.log/nrecord.log from NextPVR (c:\users\public\npvr\log), then I'll check it out for you.

when/if margro gets his timeshift pull-request accepted will we see timeshift support from this NPVR backend?


RE: NextPVR (NPVR) First Impressions - KRA77 - 2012-10-08

Since Nextpvr already does timeshifting I'm fairly certain sub will update the plugin to support it once it's in master.

I'm having an issue getting NPVR working with a HDHR Prime and a CableCard. Whenever I tune to a channel it plays back for about one second then the video freezes.

I followed this guide to get it setup:
