I haven't added any movies to MovieWiz for ages but over the weekend being on my own decided it was past time I cleaned up our Recordings screen, so I moved all the movies & imported them into MovieWiz (quite a big job actually I shouldn't leave it so long between doing it) & I noticed the descriptions I am getting now as very short & often followed by something like ">>>" indicating there is more I guess?? I also don't seem to be getting any (or maybe it's not many) ratings either. Has anyone else noticed this?
When you load the show time listings in the XML file do you replace all show times with the new list or do you just add new shows? Some of the current shows do not seem to be getting updated.
If I delete my Capture Sources will it delete all the channels? and if the Channels are deleted does it also delete the Recurring and Pending Recordings (the list of shows that I have told it to record)? I want to keep the Recurring and Pending Recordings but delete and recreate the capture source info. Is this possible?
what causes previous episodes that have been recorded and viewed to be recorded again?
Is there anyway to tell if the recording service has hung from a batch file or an external app? I had the recording service hang on me again yesterday resulting in missing shows and WAF waaaay down. Is there a way to ping the service to see if it is responding or not? preferably just before a recording is supposed to start?
I just set up a new system with a DVB-T (Technotrend budget card) and a DVB-S (Nova SE2) I can watch Live TV with both, but can only record with the DVB-T. If I record with the Nova Card it shows me after record an Entry, but If I try to watch it I can not choose "play". I can only delete. Any sugestions?
My pvr has been working perfectly up until a week ago when it seddenly stopped.... it recorded a show at 12pm and has recorded anything since. I didn't make any changes to my system. I also can not watch live TV and am unable to update the EPG. I have attached an extract from the log file when trying to watch live tv. There is an error that says ERROR_DEVICE_NOT_CONNECTED but I am not sure what this means. Is it saying that there is a problem with my satellite or my TV card?
hi - went totally crazy and got a new-ish PC from HP running Vista 64. Installed fine (had to run the mc2xml.exe as admin) but No Channels Found during scan. I ran Re-registerfilters.bat sucessfully (as admin) - still no luck.
Any suggestions? Its an HVR-1800.
I am using the same TV coax that I used last night on my old system which also has an HVR-1800 (normally get 20 channels or so)
I recently had to rebuild my machine for various reasons and have everything working as it should be with the exception that video inset no longer works. The home key is mapped on my remote correctly and responds as it should in TV Listings(it takes me back to the menu) but in live tv/recorded tv, etc it does nothing. The showkey utility registers that I am pressing the Home key when I press the menu button. I have VMR9 Custom set, installed Direct X 10, have tried disabling all my plugins/codecs/comskip, and i'm at a loss at this point. I have checked the logs and everything looks fine as far as I can tell. It registers that I request video inset and from the logs it would appear to be doing it but it's not. I have attached my logs. Has anyone run into this before?
In the next 2 weeks or so, I'll be buying a media extender for my parents. It doesn't need to do much, just let them watch and schedule GB-PVR recordings from their TV. I'd rather not build a computer for this.
I'm planning on getting them a MediaMVP or NMT, used on ebay if necessary. I'd like it to be not much over $100. Is there any consensus, on what is the best extender for basic needs, or any big drawbacks to certain models? If I get a NMT, should I just go for a PCH A-100, or are some of the other options listed here good/ok?
