But any chance that Wiz Metadata grabber could be externalised from gbpvr, as I like the xml file structure (the individual xml files per movie) but I'd like to run it on a different machine that doesn't have gbpvr.
I've been looking for a tool to create then xml files, and they all see to want to use a db. The closest I've got so far is media scout.
Since this really isn't specifically hardware related or NPVR related - anyone know of a relatively simple way to transcode a H.264 ts file to something simpler that a PS3 is capable of playing back? MPEG2 or similar?
I've had hit and miss luck with playback of H.264 files on my PS3. DVD rips through Handbrake work OK if I have the PS3 connected with a hardline, but the ts files that my HD-PVR create (via NPVR) don't play at all (error message).
I have my PS3 set up in my basement and use it as a frontend to remotely play stuff off my HTPC via TVersity media server (and then just browsing to the directory structures). I'm a competitive cyclist, and in Minnesota that means I spend a lot of hours in the basement on my rollers/trainer, so only being able to view some of my recordings (and not all of them) is quite frustrating.
Some googling indicated TMPGenc might do the trick, but I was hoping maybe someone around here had some specific experience. Eventually, I'd like to move whatever solution I come to into the postprocessing.bat so that these programs are automatically available to me.
I'm running GBPVR 1.4.7 and I'm a little confused by something. There are channels in the EPG that don't show up in GBPVR.
I open config and in the capture source screen is a channel listing that has all of the channels and they're all checked. However in the Channels tab some channels aren't listed. Any idea why they aren't listed and how I get them to be listed?
I have installed GPVR 1.4.7 with a Media MVP box since several years now and it working fine. I have upgraded my PC to Win 7 (64 bit).
Now I am facing the problem that I am not able to play some of the videos I recorded. When trying to play them MVP reboots.
I see the following message in the MVP-PVRX2 log:
2011-01-08 16:55:56.315 VERBOSE [6] About to call MVPShowOSDWithTransparency()

I'd like to have a single server and assign an analogue card per each room in the house - each family member will watch his own channel, but the recordings will be shared.
Hopefully this is something very simple to solve. Whenever I update my EPG without enhancing with Ultra, the details Pop-up window will show the program image (if available in the media/art folder). When I enhance with Ultra and only add a couple Tags to the Description, the image will no longer show up. I've even re-run the image grabber utility so that the image titles are consistent with my enhanced EPG. Any ideas how I could solve this?
Trying to record simultaneous shows on both the DVB-S and DVB-T on my HVR-4400 results in only a couple of seconds of each show before they just stop records.
This does not happen if I multirec 2 simultaneous shows on the DVB-S.
Hi all,
I've been running GB-PVR 1.4.7 for several months and all was well until about a week and a half ago, when it suddenly stopped working.
The symptom is that when I get the the main screen and hit OK on "Video Library", the MVP thinks for 15-30 seconds, then reboots back to the blue connecting servers screen. This happens over and over, and with both of the two MVP boxes on my network.
Some of the time, if I reboot the server system, the MVP will be able to play a few videos before it starts rebooting, but not always.
Attached is a zip of the contents of the logs directory (with debug logging), I shut down GBPVR and the recording service, cleared the logs directory, started it back up (about 6:40am in these logs), tried a few times to watch a video on the MVP (first time was about 6:42a), then zipped up the logs directory.
The only thing I see in the logs are messages like this, but I'm not sure if they are the issue or not (nor how to fix them if they are the issue).
2011-01-07 06:42:18.072 ERROR [6] Unable to find requested skin image: _TaskImages\Video Library.png
I've done "sfc /scannow", chkdsk /f, reinstalled 1.4.7 a few times and I've run the reregister controls script, nothing seems to change the pattern.
I can't really think of anything else to try....
Help, nothing pierces the brain like a 3 year old that wants to watch DORA! DORA NOW!
(should I be trying the beta npvr? I've been leery, as this setup really needs to "just work" so that my wife and kids can use it).
Setup details:
I only use GB-PVR for playing video on my MVPs, I don't do any recording with it.
Vista Home Premium, 32 bit, with SP2
Core2 Quad dell with 3gb PC-6400 ram
I've been using the 4/05/2007 dongle for quite awhile, that's what I was using
when the problem started, since then, I've also tried the dongle
from Hauppauge v34.25345, no change in behavior.
