I have a little question. Using nPVR 1.5.33, importing my dvd collection to harddisk (again, the seagate harddisks were awful! 10 of 11 1,5 tbs died...). A lot of people and developer shows in the wip screens pictures of movies with data. Most times information of a movie, rating or something similar.
In most cases all tools are for us/uk usage only. But i collect my movies with a tool called DVD Profiler from invelos. This tool provides too a lot of information for movies. With an addon it's even possible to export data of own movies to a .csv file which could be imported to excel (as an example).
Exists already a handy dandy tool to extract date from such a .csv for nPVR usage? So that i could retrieve data from my own collection and display somehow within nPVR?
Hi ^^
The bad guy with the stupid and curious wishes is back.
Sub, i love animated wallpapers, so i am using DeskScapes 3 from Stardock on my MediaCenter 01. Often enough i just listen to radio or music within nPVR. So there would be no need to leave the nPVR menu fullscreen on the display.
Were it possible to add a feature like "after 10 minutes of idle / playing music" just to minimize nPVR into the taskbar instead of showing "cut off, photos" etc.? This way i could take advantage of the media capabilities of nPVR and listen comfortable to radio / music while let an animated wallpaper (so called "dreams") play on the display? Dreamscene is this: http://www.stardock.com/products/deskscapes/index.asp
I don't wish to exit nPVR to view the "dreams". And if pressing one button on keyboard / remote control, nPVR should go back (window / fullscreen).
Could you do something like this without breaking to much within nPVR? This would be very kindly. =)
I was running an older version of GBPVR on my computer, but when my hard drive crashed I had to reinstall Windows and I upgraded to Windows 7. I installed the latest version of GBPVR (1.47), but my tv tuner card is not on the list of devices for me to choose from on the settings page for the capture source. When I check the box to only show detected cards, it says there are no cards present. I have installed the most current drivers for my card compatible with Windows 7 and according to my device manager it is detected by Windows and is working properly.
Does this new version of GBPVR not support my Hauppage PVR-150? I tried installing the older version of the software I was using with this tuner card but the older version crashed under Windows 7.
What are my options here? Is there a way to make version 1.47 work with my card? Should I switch to this new NPVR software that is still in beta? I'm going out of town on Saturday and my wife is desperate to have the PVR working again before I leave so she can tape her shows while I'm gone. Please help!
I have a lot of previews for folders in .png format (because of the transparency effect not as .jpg). Could you please add the feature to read "folder.png" too instead just only file graphics as .png?
Thank you in advance for your effort.
(below here you can see the difference between the .jpg folder previews (right side) and the .png folder previews (left side).
What is the deal with npvr? Is it going to be a commercial app? It has the smell of one a bit. Once it developed more fully I mean. I would wait to see where it goes, but I was wondering what is going on behind the scenes? Seems like more people are involved from over the world. Is there some sort of commercial organization involved somewhere for gbpvr or npvr in some capacity? I am reminded of the takeover of Meedio into "Yahoo! Go4TV" which would just completely kill it for me if something similar happened to npvr. Apart I'm just really curious. We need some sort of press release from sub. Motivations, direction, etc.
Hello Friends!
It's Zehd (Frank Zeritsch) from the GB-PVR forums with an important UPGRADE Notice...
I have recently updated Ultra to 2.1 and I have decided to phase out 2.0 by disabling its online look up. I will be doing this within the month. I wanted to give notice so that we all have enough time to update before the older version is disabled.
[SIZE="4"]Upgrade Instructions[/SIZE]
1. Visit http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Utility/UltraXMLTV and download the latest zip file
2. Copy and overwrite all the files from the zip file into your C:\EPG\UltraXMLTV folder or wherever you have Ultra installed
3. Run Ultra, and then click the manual tab, and then click the "Update UltraXMLTV" button
4. That is it. When next you run Ultra, either manually or automatically in your EPG Update, Ultra will work as normal
[SIZE="4"]Reason for Update[/SIZE]
The reason I am forcing an update is simply internet bandwidth. Over the last couple of years, the server has received several Gigabytes of data. Most of this data was redundant. The regular downloading of stale files, and daily uploading of the same data over and over is really something I wanted to avoid... and that simple redundant action also slowed Ultra down...
I've improved these mechanisms, and made the program far more stable.
[SIZE="4"]Unsubscribe?[/SIZE]
I would imagine that there are few of you who looked at UltraXMLTV only briefly, and then decided against using it. If you are not interested in any further work or communication, please let me know, and I'll permanently remove your email from the list..
[SIZE="4"]Feedback[/SIZE]
As mentioned, I know that there are some of you that only looked at the software, and decided not to use it. Would you mind saying why?
[SIZE="4"]Thank You For Your Support[/SIZE]
There have been many people who have supported this project over the last couple of years. Some have donated their time in testing and others have donated money.
I suspect this may be a 1.5.33 bug as I'm sure they worked before, but I have also had to reinstall the GB-PVR server since I last tried so it maybe something my end....
I can't get pictures or even the source to open from the NMT using a network path it keeps coming up with a "something (path/drive) not found error" when I try to access the GB-PVR server pictures from the NextPVR server, it works fine locally when doing the same thing directly on the NextPVR server PC.
So after a lot of work, GBPVR 1.4.7 is working perfectly for me... for many months at a time now. I navigated the painful setup of clear-QAM and now it's second nature. I love the plugins, particulary MovieWiz. WAF = 100%
My question is this...should I "upgrade" to nPVR? My understanding is that it's been simplified for new users, and setup is easier. I don't care about this. I can setup GBPVR in my sleep.... .
I have been able to transfer my recoded shows, and recurring shows, but I cant figure out how to transfer my already pending shows from gbpvr to npvr. Am I missing something easy?
Assuming I should start with npvr instead of gv-pvr. Have scanned forum post titles and wiki, but don't see rudimentary info for the neophyte. Things like minimum cpu, memory, supported tuners, etc. Happy to post what I have, but if I'm just missing this info, it'd be better to have someone direct me to the "proper" spot.
I expect that I'm going to have a huge learning curve to move from (manually scheduled) mpg2 captures using ATI MMC (ATI AIW). Actually doing (manually scheduled) h264 captures since Jan with Arcsoft TotalMedia (HD-PVR). Get Schedule Direct xml --> Access 97 --> Excel 97 to select movies based on what's new & what I already have. Quite satisfied with that setup. Now want to be able to capture/time-shift mostly network stuff in HD, so looking at npvr. Have ATI 650, ATI 550, and KWorld ub-435q tuners currently available. Several older computers, but what's minimum cpu/memory/graphics card etc for HD?
