I've enable the nef extension in config.xml file. GBPVR able to view the picture(without codec) but the picture quality is very bad. I've installed the Nikon codec but picture quality still very blur. How to improve the picture quality in GBPVR.
Running 1.4.7 for some months with no problems.
I have not modified my system or GBPVR in many months.
I just looked at the TV guide and some of the names look like they are overlapping themselves.
I've never seen this before.
In the attached "Guide1" screen cap, the currently highlighted show exhibits the text anomaly.
Even more oddly, as exhibited in "Guide2", if I press the right arrow the highlighting stays in the same box but the name now displays properly.
I uses SchedulesDirect and GBPVR is set to do a complete EPG reload at 2:00 AM.
This computer stays on 24 hours a day.
In pvrx2, SkinHelper2 would fall back to the Blue skin if it couldn't find the requested skin file in the active skin directory. Are there any plans to introduce equivalent functionality into SkinHelper in NPVR?
This seems so simple, but I can't figure how to do it or if you can. If I play a DVD using VLC, it takes me straight to the main menu of the DVD. When I play a DVD using NPVR, it makes me sit through numerous previews (on most DVDs). How do I get straight to the menu or straight to the movie?
Thanks!
However neither scheduled recordings nor live TV won't work. I'm getting black screen in live and static in recordings, or zero length files. here's pvrx2.exe-native.log:
sub, feel free to shoot this down, but I thought I'd ask anyway...
A couple of the plugins I'm working on (and some I haven't even started) need to do standard directory/file browsing, just like the existing video/pictures/music plugins that you provide. Is there any chance you'd be willing to either a) provide the source you use to do this, or b) somehow make it possible for plugins to piggy-back on the existing file browsing ability? It could save us (me in particular ) a lot of work reimplementing functionality that's already there.
I know neither option is probably ideal for you, but you've provided some source in the past (eg, code for the main menu) and I found it extremely helpful at the time.
I was hoping to write a small plugin that would let me do fast channel/genre searches in the EPG, eg "show me all movies" or "show me all movies from just channels x, y, and z".
This obviously isn't possible yet because the EPG data in NPVR doesn't hold genre information, unlike GBPVR. Are there plans to include it at some point?
I'd sorely miss it if doesn't make it in, not least for the great ability that GBPVR has to colour-code the EPG by genre.
Comes with a proprietary remote which only seems to work in the PVR software that comes with the card, which is actually not too bad, but not as good as GBPVR. So I bought a MCE remote, then went through the heartache of finding drivers for it, because I'm running XP Home, not MCE (I own MCE but can't remember why I chose not to use it) It has one input which is split internally on the card to the two tuners, so you only need one cable, no splitters etc. It is a low profile card and can fit in a skinny case, and comes with a low profile bracket if you need it, but the normal height bracket is fitted as standard. Other than the antenna input, it just has a jack for the remote IR sensor. Included in the box is a DVB-T antenna - you would probably need to be living right next door to the transmission tower for it to be any good, but its in there, and the whole package is pretty cheap (about $60-$70). 2xAAA batts for the remote were included too, so as far as value for money, I'm suitably impressed.
I bought one of these cards, but the first one was faulty - the second tuner didn't work. Took me ages to diagnose. MSY Technology replaced it no problem.
The second one is a newer model, though there is nothing on the box to indicate that, but it came with a different remote, and newer, slightly better software and drivers. Very strange, but at least I've ended up with the newer version than the older one.
GB-PVR didn't support it out of the box, so I tried Mediaportal again. Its a ritual I go through every now and then, but MP still is rather buggy.
To get the card to work in GB-PVR, I didn't realise it was as easy as adding this to the bda.ini file:
[Leadtek Winfast DTV 2000 DS]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
RECEIVER_ONLY_MODE=1
FILTER_RECEIVER=WinFast DTV 2000 DS
PIN_RECEIVER_IN=Antenna In Pin
PIN_RECEIVER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
The quality etc of the card seems fine. It tunes pretty quick - takes half as long as my old videomate card. Every now and then the picture freezes for an instant, but that happens with my Samsung TV's built in tuner as well, so I presume its a transmission or antenna problem.
All seems well at the moment, except automounting ISO's isn't working anymore, but thats a different topic.
