GBPVR being working perfect for ages but today I started it and the epg is empty, all channels work fine with picture and sound just no emg. So I updated the EPG and it seems to update as normal but it's still empty, not even the time slots have been inserted.
I reinstalled GBPVR on another HDD and still the same, then I tried NextPVR but can't find the epg, the screen is black and I can get live video to play but there is no sound or picture, the video is being recorded though and the .ts has sound and picture.
Can you help me fix GBPVR please? I'm using DVB EPG, I'll post the logs if you need them. Thanks.
Although I have seen references to this card in this forum I cannot find the answers to two questions:-
1. Is this card supported by NPVR?
2. If so, in what format(s) are SD and HD recordings saved?
I am located in UK where SD is DVB-T, and HD is DVB-T2
I've been meaning to ask this for a while, and apologies if it has been asked before and I missed it!
With GB-PVR I spent ages when I 1st set up my XMLTV sources changing the channel numbers to suit my configuration via post processing of the .xml file before updating the EPG. GB-PVR would recognise these channel numbers and allocate them accordingly. With my NextPVR set-up I scanned my 1st DVB-S device, selected the channels I wanted and to use the .xml source, then updated the EPG (from the identical .xml that GB-PVR uses). However the channel numbers do not appear to be recognised and just remain on a default numbering allocation starting @ number 1 and appears to simply reflect the order in which the channels have scanned. Have I missed something?
Get working/batch/file dirs from one line[any dir of it's path too!]
here's a little tool to use from batch files, how to get the current dir only, or any level of it's path.. [2 dirs up,3 up, 4 etc] not the whole path, just one part...
so if in c:\winnt\system32: "for %%A in ("..") do @echo %%~nA" would echo "winnt" [one . would =system32]
Code:
for %%A in ("[color=blue]..\..\..\..[/color]") do set dir4upworking=%%~nA
@echo %dir4upworking%
goes up 4 dirs from working dir.. go up as many as you want... or relative to batch file itself:
Code:
for %%A in ("[color=blue]%~dp0\[COLOR="deepskyblue"]..\..\..\..[/color][/COLOR]") do set dir4upbat=%%~nA
echo %dir4upbat%
to get a part of path for a file, call a ubroutine inside batch with above line and filename as param, but use %~dp1 instead...[and of course a set statement or something instead of echo]
it's:
.= file's/current dir [or ".\" ]
..=1 up, parent dir [or ".\.."]
..\..=2 up [the parent dirs parent dir] [or ".\..\.."]
..\..\..=3 up etc etc..
that one surprised me..nice n short too..
from cmdline try it out:
Code:
for %a in (".\..") do @echo %~na
for %a in ("%~dpn0\..\..") do @echo %~na
use "set somevar=" in place of echo to use it for real in batches..
can be used to say, keep your dir structure when copying/encoding files to another location, among other things..
basically, easy relative paths for batches..
Enjoy
Also, did you look any more into option on how to save off the image poster from Amazon or themoviedb.com when doing a "find more" lookup on a movie you are about to record or already have recorded?
I don't know it it's possible without the service type but can digital audio recordings be played like listen in the guide. I created some XMLTV files manually to record some radio programs and this part works great but playback with a blank screen for an hour is boring and the NMT doesn't like video files without video.
Just curious, when you do the 'show status', and it lists the tuner, and the pending recordings, why not actually put down what is pending, or at least for that day ?
Also, it would be nice to have a warnings / errors tab there, so we don't have to hunt in the logs for these things.
Come to think of it, it would also be nice to know the current capture statistics, and how much free space is available...
My [IMG]file:///Volumes/Power/Users/pmeriex/Library/TemporaryItems/moz-screenshot.png[/IMG]gbpvr.db3 has grown quite big during the years. It's now over 27 GB of data.
Is there a way for a non-sql-knowledged person to make it smaller in size?
I.e. any nifty sql commands you can copy-paste into cmd.exe?
