Hi,
Ive been using GB-PVR with Multidec for a while now using an Infinity USB card reader in conjuction with Acamd MD addin.
This seems to be a bit erratic - and i thought id try to source a Hauppauge WinTV CI unit - which should theoretically be more compatible as all my capture cards are Hauppauge. However it would seem that i cannot find any suppliers of this unit in NZ (well not so far).
I have a CAM in our Topfield STB - so i thought id try via this method than the Infinity reader.
Does anyone out there know of any other brands that have a USB CAM Module (i guess thats what its called) - that will work with Hauppauge capture cards. All the CI/CAM addons ive found so far will only work when directly connected to the equivlent model capture card.
hi,
it seems that if a pending recording is deleted, "search guide" does not recognize that. the timeslot stays red and is not "clickable".
btw, it would be good if a scheduled recording cound be edited (eg. deleted) from that list just like from the guide, since it can be *added*, too.
I have a Radian HD4650 & a Geforce 8400GS PCI-E video cards.
Even though the geforce has lower specs accross the board, my cpu is lower using it for anything HD.
OTA HDTV, HD mkv's ect.
The difference isn't huge but it's noticeable on my single core CPU when it comes to 1080 content.
Is it drivers or do the geforce cards just work that much better than the radeon cards when it comes to XP & HD?
one of these I've never had to do before, the answer to other one has always bugged me, did try searching 1st! Running on XP.
My system was getting a bit clogged up with all sorts of stuff so after backing up config, etc used an Acronis image of perfect working system from a few months back to give lovely clean install I had done at that time with GBPVR 1.4.7.
1) Try to put old gbpvr.db3 into GBPVR folder but of course cannot replace as it is in use by another process. Is easiest solution to boot into safe mode and replace this way?
2) I have manually edited scan cache files for my DVB-S that I like to use and are easy to keep updated. However even with clean database I put my 'clean' scan cache files in BDA folder open device to map to channels and apart from my 'clean' channels there is a whole list of other channels that the device has previously mapped to. Where are these coming from? How is GBPVR remembering them? I'm sure some time ago I looked in the database and there is no mention of previous entries in any tables. I really would like to get rid of these it would make a re-install about 500% faster
I recently re-installed both my desktop PC and GB-PVR HTPC with Windows 7 Pro.
I can't get .mp4 files to play from within GB-PVR, but they play fine in windows media player.
The files were created in Nero Digital format using Nero Recode.
The only codec I've installed beyond what comes with Windows 7 is AC3Filter needed for the audio on US broadcast HD channels. I have NOT installed Nero on either computer, Windows seems to know how to play these files without anything extra installed.
I'm trying to avoid any willy-nilly installation of decoders/filters/etc.
The logs appear to show that GB-PVR and/or Windows fails to build a complete graph when playing .mp4 files. .mpg files play back fine.
I thought the rule was that for these sorts of files GB-PVR just asks Windows to play the file, so if WMP can do it then GB-PVR should do it too?
Newer PCH installation here and I can't get GBPVR over the PCH back to the main menu using the "home" key. When the "home" key does work, it bounces back to the video library screen. Any ideas?
Satellite free to air consists of a few(worth watching) channels here and there pretty much spread out across several orbital positions. This is why the use of motors is so practical.
