I have a WinTV 1600 Hauppauge pci internal card with remote.. I have configured PVRX2 to work with my comcast digital transport box and set to channel 3. I can change the channels with the remote that came with my DTA box but my hauppauge remote can raise and lower volume and scroll through the schedule directs EPG plugin but cannot change the channels in conjunction with my DTA box. I have the IR blaster wire attached properly with no luck?
my old XP file said GO={run(C:\Progra~1\Devnz\GBPVR\PVRX2.exe)}
ofcouse Win7 felt the need to move everything
anyone have any idea what I put in place of Progra~1
I have a Nova T 500 with a ATI Radeon 4350 on a Pentium D machine running XP SP3 and 1.4.7. I managed to get everything up and running in a few hours and any problems i have encountered I have been able to solve with the help of this forum.
However I have a remaining issue with LiveTV which, as far as i can tell so far, only affects TV2 and One. All other channels are beautiful that I can tell so far.
These two channels can be viewed fine for about three minutes before the picture degrades like the flick of a switch. (I think its what you call combing). The edge of objects that move breaks down. This comes on about 3 minutes after starting to watch the channel very suddenly. Changing to another channel and coming back to the problem channel gets rid of it as does pulling out and immediately replacing the coax aerial cable, but after doing that you have another three minutes or so before the problem comes back. CPU utilization is only at about 10-15 %
I'm sure i have read somewhere someone with the same issue, but cant find it now. Ive tried ffdshow deinterlacing, DScaler deinterlacing, Alparysoft deinterlacing, doing the pass through. I have also tried the various renderers and there is no improvement.
I was thinking of moving the live TV directory to a SSD. I record HD at about 7gb per hour. I am guessing the minimum size would be about 30gb just in case I watch a 4 hour show?
Or does PVRx2 switch to a new file every hour in which case it would be about 8gb?
What happens if I pause something and the drive fills up?
I have installed the Music plugin. When I select music on my mvp it causes the mvp to reboot. In the instructions it refers to a file called Musicscanner.exe and it says it will be auto-started by the plugin. I do not see this file. I do see a file called mediascanner.exe. It does not auto-start either. If I manually execute the mediascanner.exe it does show in the tray but the mvp still reboots when accessing the music plugin. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I know we can configure GBPVR to put recordings wherever we want. I would like to be able to also put the GBPVR.db3 database on another drive. On the C: drive, it tends to get quite fragmented.
I have configured a small drive for data that gets very fragmented each day (e.g. the files associated with Thunderbird) and do a full defrag on that drive each night. I would like to put the GBPVR data base where it can easily be defragmented too.
Even if I do a complete defrag on C: nightly, the files there are of a nature where they cause many holes in the disk map and other files get very fragmented very quickly.
Since I'm pretty sure that the answer to my question is NO, would you add this to the Wish List?
The problem: When I try to start PVRX2 I get the message "System doesn't support VMR9 Video Render". I checked your FAQ to no avail and googled for VMR 9 without a useful result.
Windows XP Pro SP3
GB-PVR 1.4.7 (with vcredist_x86.exe)
GeForce 8400 GS
Direct X: I installed 9.0c but see in a technical survey version no. 4.10.0.5515
The only issue is that I use this PC by RDP, limiting the colour depth to 16 bits.
I had a bunch of recordings scheduled between 7-10pm this Wednesday night but for some reason most of them failed. The computer went into hibernation even though the recordings were scheduled.
If i add a season recording, for example a weekly recording. Then the Manage Recording Tab displays it as Reoccuring Item in the webinterface. When i create this item automatically few according pending items are created immediately (how many??). So far so good. These records are performed. But then..... When next according pending items are created? Sometimes it works, sometimes not. In last times no further recording items have been created in general!!! And thus no record is performed!!! Records are only performed for the pending items obviously.
Sometimes in very raw cases it works. Surprisingly then there occured o pending item for the recording. I did never catch when and why...!! What is the problem?? Am i expecting too much? What do i have to do? Can it be right, that i have to care about such items? I specify a reoccuring recording and i works just sporadic???? Does the computer have to be switched on at specific times? It is really despairing!
I'm wondering if anyone has setup GB-PVR with a Sky TV Card (Via the Jaycar reader) and DVB-S tuner.
If you have, can you tell me or point to a thread using GB-PVR to do this. I do not have Sky but am thinking of maybe getting it and using my HTPC like a MySky box.
Also does the picture improve using EVR with nVidia/ATI de-interlacing ? I've seen how average Sky Sport via SD feed is :mad:
Obviously recording via the DVB-S stream would be encrypted on the Hard-drive so do these files play back via GB-PVR and decode on the fly?
