I have a new version of mvpmcx2 that will work with NPVR being tested and I will post it when I get some confirmation that it works with GBPVR.
The actual changes required in mvpmcx2 were small, sub still has to do some work on NPVR server-side to provide the same experience especially when it comes to video playback.
Note I am not planning on updating NMTInstaller to load or configure NPVR 1.15 while NPVR is in beta. I will post more news after testing.
First, thanks to sub for his work on this release. I am glad to see the project get a clean coding and am excited to give NPVR a test.
Now the moment of truth for me: What tuners are supported? sub's description makes it sound like only Hauppauge devices are compatible. Will my HD Home Run work with NPVR?
BTW, I've run NPVR and nothing seems to be detected. I've messed with the software options for the HD Home Run device, but seem to be stuck.
I updated vcred, and directx per the links. The install went very quickly. Just a couple of seconds. The "n" is in the tray and it looks like all the stuff is in the program folder. I get a "unhandled .net exception" when I try to launch it that I can only recover from by killing from task manager. I don't see any logs to post...
This is a big release with lots of changes. I've had to make changes to some stuff that was holding GB-PVR back, and along the way I've broken all the plugins and skins etc.
In the beginning of December I started rewriting GB-PVR from scratch. I did this for a variety of reasons. A few of the most important reasons include:
- problems with legal ownership of GB-PVR codebase
- many things in the architecture didnt work well, but were impossible to change in the existing framework without major pain for users
- hack upon hack were added over the years as application evolved from a single tuner analog application to a multi-tuner analog/digital application
- millions of odd little rules users had requested over the years, that I no longer understood fully. This made the application fragile and prone to breaking stuff when I made small changes. (yes, you'll probably be annoyed that your specific rule is no longer there)
- and a pile of other stuff...
Sticking with my crappy naming ability, the new application is called N-PVR (short for 'next pvr').
This is a lot of change, and its still rough in places, so should be considered a public beta. Fortunately, its an entirely different application, and can be installed on the same machine as GB-PVR 1.4.7 for you give it a test drive.
I also have to say a big thanks to the testers, who have suffered through this big change from its very feeble early builds, and given me a lot of help along the way.
Windows XP - Latest Updates
ATI Radeon HD 4350 with latest driver and (catalyst package)
Latest version of Gb-PVR
tried powerdvd codec, tried MPC codec (DXVA not enabled)
Tried EMR and overlay can't use another other as apparently my os doesnt support...
Whats going on here, I have tried other codec and had ffshow installed at one stage, uninstalled, am I going to be able to correct this with XP version of windows and without reinstalling? This is very poor supprt in the way this works, going to check to see if I can use media player or another player to use HD H.264 hardware acceleration now I think might just be through GB-PVR but not 100% sure yet.
please post, email me back, this sounds like a common problem
I can't find ARD HD or ZDF HD on Astra 19,2. In the forum I found some Scan.cache from other users but this two channels are nowhere listened. Scan's with WinTV 7 or Mediaportal are sucsessfully and
the Channels are working....
Is there any solution for watching net streams with media extenders yet ?
Ive been just dLing podcasts and other video files to watch out in the living room on the MVP. We have no LiveTV.
The wife would like to watch the England matches in the Cup, and of course its streamed by multiple sources on the net (typically flash, but some proprietary viewers as well).
Is anyone playing with something that works for netstream->MVP ?
Otherwise, I guess Ill try to record the streams (or dL the match afterward) and play it like that.
One of those registry tweakers with a more human interface. (a bit like an extended tweakui ??).
X-Setup-Pro allows you to configure/mess with over 1800 settings, covering all aspects of Windows.
Sadly WUG - the company that created X-Setup Pro - has gone bust.
However, as a result they've made X-Set-Pro free and there's now a serial number on their home page - www.x-setup.net - that you can use to register the program.
I've been primarily using one NMT (PCH) and finally got around to running cables for the second one. They both work using the network browse method, but I was going to change them over to make it auto load based on the scripts Jaggy put on the wiki. Before doing that I decided to run the NMT Checker on both IP's to make sure everything was ok and that I didn't mess anything up. I noticed that when putting in one IP, it makes it further than the other. Attached is the output from each run and also my config.xml.
