I wanted some opinions on running this script to make my system more reliable. As I mentioned in these posts I have a (non GBPVR) issue with my setup somewhere that causes it to occasionally not record programs:
I just uploaded some photos for a contest and cross posted to the AV Science Forums in the Definitive Tech Owners thread. I chose GBPVR to represent the onscreen image b/c it looks really nice in a static shot and is certainly worthy of the publicity. Hopefully it gets published!
Hi
I just went from MediaPortal to gbpvr.
Looks pretty good and stable. But I had to go back to MP because I didn't get any subtitles on live tv.
I checked everything and went through this forum.
I have been using xmltv NZ untill it seems to have failed a few weeks ago and i havent been able to fix it. Never mind - ill just use broadcast listings. I set this up and scanned for update. I get the listings ok but only for the next 2 hours (TV1,2,3) I have rescanned all channels and they are appropriately mapped (on both tuners). Has anybody else had this problem??
Incidentally I have installed the latest version of GBPVR and tried to insert geekzone URL in xml settings - the browser drew a blank on the URL hence i am now trying broadcast program guide. Using win xp
I am not sure what I have done wrong but with a digistar 103 ( conexant cx23880 ) chipset I can get all digital channels from satelite but if I select a new capture device and set to analog - conexant Blackbird ( as shown when set to show devices in this computer ) set to capture device 1, and composite external tuner save and add channel then save that part I will get a new channel showing up in channels list so I think that part is right
I save that and GB-PVR restarts as normal for any changes there but when I goto PVRX2 I still get my normal channels if I select press 0 ( as I configured it to that number ) it does not change to that input source
Hello
I am a longtime GBPVR and Media MVP User. I have three Media MVPs in my home hooking up to one central GBPVR server.
I have been looking at devices which can leverage the Playon TV service for Hulu and Netflix support. In doing so I came across the Popcorn players as pretty much teh only option which might support both GBPVR and playon . ( I don;t wnat toahve to have double sets of these network devices at each TV location...)
I am curious how seamless it is to be able to flip back and forth bewteen the GBPVR front-end application and the regular inteferface that supports the upnp playon service? ( something my wife could do via the remote?)
I am also curious if a house network with mixed Media MVPs and Popcorn unnits could coexist easily
I have a gbpvr server that is set up to record a lot more shows than I actually watch, I do it just to have a wide selection to choose from whenever I watch tv. I record so many shows every day that it is getting annoying having to delete all of them in the gbpvr interface. Typically, I just go to the server console once a month and delete the stuff I don't want, which leaves the database with a lot of deleted recordings. Would it be possible to have GBPVR scan the drive for deleted files and then delete the corresponding entries in the database? A "Delete recordings older than N days" feature would also do the trick ....
Does anyone have an overview of the stability of HDHomerun as a dvb-c device(QAM 256)?
Going digital has been a bit of a driver nightmare for me, so I would like some reassurance before I order one ... I started out with 3 Hauppauge hvr-930c's which are having serious BDA driver issues ... Zero length recordings about 25% of the time (http://forums.gbpvr.com//showthread.php?...highlight=)...
I managed to get a refund for two of them and then ordered 2 Terratec Cinergy PCI CI HD cards, however, it turns out there is a driver issue when running more than one of these cards. After a lot of research I found that there is a Skystar dvb-c device with the same chipset, but their driver is newer .. After hacking the Terratec driver is has been running completely stable for a few months now, however, these experiences leave me a bit reluctant to purchase an expensive ethernet based device ... If I could get a few comments on the stability of this device it would be greatly apprieciated ...
I'm new to GBPVR, I found it from the Hauppauge web site as a 3rd party application for the MediaMVP.
I used my MediaMVP before with the mvpmc project on my linux home server. I've since switched to Windows 7 and, as I thought, the stock Hauppauge software to drive the MediaMVP cannot play any of my videos.
I got the Hauppauge software working, I even upgraded to the 3.4 beta for Vista, since this is the latest version. On their site they say it's for 32-bit, but I'm running 64-bit Windows 7. In fact, if I try to play a .mpg the MediaMVP just reboots so maybe it's working to play videos at all, but at least the MediaMVP is booting up.
I followed the installation instructions of having the Hauppauge software installed, but set the services to Manual startup; installing GBPVR and setting the number of MVP/NMT clients to 1 and getting a fresh dongle.bin. However, even though I've done this my MediaMVP can't find any server to boot from.
When I was using the mvpmc project I remember having to set up a tftp server and changing an option on my network's dhcp server and all that drama, but I did not find similar instructions for neither the Hauppauge software nor GBPVR. Are there steps that I am missing to get the MediaMVP to boot and work with a GBPVR backend?
