I just set up GBPVR with all my settings again after a reinstall of my OS. I am trying to get everything working again, but I keep getting a blue screen with a static sound whenever I try to watch live TV.
I have a Hauppauge HVR2250 (I'm pretty sure). I installed the drivers.
I don't have internet on that computer, so I have to import XMLTV listings from the one I'm on now.
Is there a setting I'm missing that will make it work?
Can anyone post a simple example of a plugin that extends from SimpleButtonListPlugin?
I think I understand the basics of it, with it holding a ref to a UiList object, but so far my fumbling hasn't resulted in a list appearing on screen
Do we just use the uiList variable from the base class, or do we need to instantiate it somehow?
I've cut n pasted bits of the skin from the recordings screen; I assume I need <ListView> <ListItemNormal> etc elements?
What does PopulateList() do? It's sounds obvious, but I want to be sure. Should I add the list objects there? Does it only get called at plugin creation? How do I set each item's values? With the properties hashtable? Help
I don't actually need anything fancy. I want to display a list, with a few lines of text per item. The user won't be selecting anything, it's view-only. Scrolling up and down the items will be the limits of required functionality.
I have scanned the QAM stations and have them listed. For analog I used the XML import. Then next part of the set up I'm confused about. If for example channel 2 (Fox) has it's HD counterpart FOXHD how do I map that so when channel 2 is recorded it is mapped to the HD in the new setup.
I have been going round and round in circles and spent ages trying to solve this problem. I am running a bare HTPC running XP sp3, 3GB Ram, 9600GT 1GB video card and a Hauppage Nova -500TD.
I have cyberlink PowerDVD 10 installed and when playing TS files in there from the recording my CPU usage is only like 25%. When I run the same through GBPVR my usage is like 65-75%. I have tried various codec settings for Mpeg Playback and also H.264 codec. I think the files are H.264 but the cyberlink option i have under H.264 gives me no Hardware acceleration option just SAW, DXVA and HAW which i dont know what they mean. Tried various options but nothing brings CPU usage down.
GB-PVR used the "Line 21 Decoder 2" filter to decode closed captions, while N-PVR seems to use the "Line 21 Decoder" (not 2) filter instead. Was this an intentional change? There are some parts of how GB-PVR did it that I think worked better and smoother (especially with the roll-up style captions), and I'm wondering if this was the cause of the change. Is the decoder configurable somewhere, or maybe I've screwed up my filter merit settings or something?
Can anyone tell me if there's any software that makes it possible to use the hauppauge IR receiver (the one that plugs into the tuner card, not the USB sort) with a random (non-learning) remote?
I know there is software that can learn whatever codes the remote sends, but I can't tell if any of them can be made to work with the Hauppauge receiver.
Is this possible only using some other receiver like a USB-UIRT?
Has anyone else noticed they seem to get chunks of info missing from some channels when using subs utility?
Especially TV3 - a lot of days I seem to have a chunk missing from 6pm - 9pm (or more) it will appear then disappear. Prime was doing it the other day, and some other higher channel numbers are also not showing much data at all.
Sorry to keep going on about analogue tuners, but.....
Is it possible, as in gbpvr, to use a single analogue tuner for both tuning broadcast RF signals and also for fixed frequency STB tuning ??? (I can't seem to manage it)
