After about three months of relatively trouble-free performance, the DVD player has stopped working. It only shows me a black screen. This is obviously a codec problem, but I have been steadfastly avoiding installing anything, and I mean anything, for this very reason.
I don't really know where to start with this. I am using the ATI MPEG decoder, which is working beautifully otherwise. Is there any point in posting logs?
Before anyone suggestes it, the SAF pack does not work for me, as I need a couple of the codecs that break it down.
The recent messages about mp3's in the " Best client / media extender" thread under hardware got me thinking about this again & I can't come up with an answer unfortunately.
We have had messages about NMT's going slow in the past & we have sorted a few problems out for users, but I am thinking for every message posted there are others with the same symptoms that never post.
Recently I noticed I was having problems with my A-100 not performing correctly & as I had also been having problems with my HDD's in the server I put it down to a server problem but after having to do something on the MVP I thought s@#$ the MVP is working better than the NMT (which I know from the past it doesn't) so I went hunting for problems with the NMT to find somehow a staple had been pushed through the network cable running to it (I blame the dog). A new network cable run under the floor this time & it is back up & running rocket speed in comparison to how it was running, it must have deteriorated over a period of time as I hadn't really noticed how bad it was. This is just an example of something not working right & I am sure there are other things that can cause them not to preform correctly.
I decided to install NMTinstall on a second pc which is slowly becoming my main media center pc. It's been working nearly flawless on 1 pc for almost a year.
I've got most things working so I can use the PCH to view my files on the pc but when trying to access mvprmc, I get the message "the share folder no longer exist" (not good English, is it?). I'm not sure what I overlooked as the dummies guide was pretty good. I think my firewall is set correctly and I've gone over things a few times but as it's been almost a year since I set things up on pc #1, I can't remember if I did anything different this time.
Does this error message give anyone a hint as to what my problem is?
Thanks
I'm trying to figure out how I will set my SchedulesDirect lineups for the best result in GB-PVR, and lowest load on SD servers.
I noticed the default EPG download days in GB-PVR is only 4 days. My Mythbox downloads up to 14 days if the EPG is empty, and if it is already full, it downloads only tomorrow (to catch last minute changes) and the 14th day from now, to reduce the load on the SD servers. Does GB-PVR do this also? If not, and it is downloading the whole schedule every day, should I consider doing fewer days than 14, hopefully at least 7?
Does GB-PVR download a lineup you are using on more than one capture device only once from SD, then copy the lineup locally into each capture device? Or does it download the lineup separately for each capture device no matter what? Since I have a HVR-2250, I will have 4 capture devices - 2 digital tuners and 2 analog tuners. I was hoping to reuse the analog lineup, which is almost the same as the digital lineup, to prevent the SD servers from getting hit 4 times, versus only once.
So, after resolving all of my zprocess problems six months ago, I have purchased a new computer with windows 7 (64 bit) and I am so far unable to get zprocess working on this machine. I followed the instructions on the wiki, and attempted to install the vb6 runtime files. Perhaps this was a mistake, as the microsoft page doesn't list 7 as a supported OS. Initially, when I tried to run zprocess, I was getting errors that certain .osx files weren't found. I found a suggestion on the web to copy them from the system32 folder to the sysWOW64 folder and run regsvr to register them. This seemed to work as the error no longer occurred and I was able to install zprocess. Any attempt to transcode a file, however, leads to a "runtime error 53, file not found" error. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Hello,
Only thing happening to this dedicated gbpvr server are windows updates.
When going to TVguide, it swings a .net error on the screen. Recordings screen works.
Looking at the logs it says i'm missing some skins? but I did not remove anything. The skins it refers to ARE missing.
Logs attached. the nettxt.txt file is a copy of the .net JIT error that appeared on screen.
If an uninstall / reinstall is suggested, how to I save my scheduled recordings, recordings DB, etc just keep the dump file?
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?
