Can sub or anyone offer more details about what you can do with it/ I couldn't figure out how to add a track or album folder to the list of what's already playing :confused:
Some things I've noticed:
If you start laying an album folder, open the playlist popup and then press stop, the music but the playlist contents are not changed until you close the popup and reopen. Bug?
Selecting Playlist from the menu when nothing is playing currently does nothing - it would be nice to show an empty playlist or maybe a message box saying "Playlist empty" or something.
I can't seem to use the firewire port on my wife's Sony MiniDV, so I'm stuck using the RCA video or splurging $10 for the cable with S-Video.
I want to make 16:9 DVD's of my video footage. GB-PVR automatically records the video in 4:3, even though I have the camcorder set on 16:9 video aspect. I know that it has to do with the video signal.
I found a utility called DVDPatcher that lets me assign values to the file headers in an MPEG2, and change the aspect of the recorded videos to 16:9. I think there is a competing utility on Sourceforge.
I'd like to see an option in Conversion to apply these header settings automatically when recordings are finished. Since I would likely be using the same recording quality settings for all MiniDV captures, there should be an option to assign a profile for the bitrate and screen size.
Nextpvr locks up with a black screen, requiring manual kill of the task, where viewing a channel for less than (approx) a minute, then backing out to the guide again. Disk activity pattern would indicate the recording process is still going. Anything 2 mins or longer and its OK.. anyone else seen this? A strong discouragement to channel surf.
I have been watching TV from the internet (video catchup) via my broadband connection for some time and would like to record a few shows now. I have tried various recorders and have now come across GBpvr which looks like a good program, but I can't get it to work. Do I need a special capture device, card etc for that? The other reording programs which I used did not need this. Debut did not reord sound but otherwise it was OK. Many thanks for responding! Sorry to be so technically poor, but I tried for almost a day now to read and configure without sucess.
I had to move my xmltv file location. I can't find a way to remap the channels to this new path. I only can do them one at a time which is a real pain with almost 100 channels.
BTW, if you select a group of channels in the config and right click you get an option to merge them. What is this for?
I have started from scratched and installed windows (win7 pro x64) on a new disk and have installed GBPVR and nPVR but neither play live TV. The offending line in the log seems to be "failed to locate filter: BDA MPEG2 Transport Information Filter". Any idea what I've forgotten to install first? I'm sure I've done everything - I've gone through the reinstall procedure several times before and don't remember hitting this problem. Sure it's something stupid I've forgotten to do. GBPVR log attached in case it's not that line at all.... Any ideas??
