Well everything was working last night and I erased all the recorded files most of them where fragments from testing. I scheduled a bunch of recordings to day from about 4:00pm on until 9:00pm but none of the file conversions have ran.
Are they on hold? How can I tell, I have a sqllite editor. Should I just wait awhile longer.
I added some code to the batch file to record time and date to a file each time it gets ran, this is for ts conversions. But the analog conversions have not ran either.
I'm completely at a loss how to properly set this up... I'm in Pennsylvania USA here with god-awful Comcast as a service "provider" for cable. I did see exactly 1 channel #3 (at some point fiddling with settings) My regular HDTV is digital cable with a set-top box, apparently for other tv's in the house (if I had any) I need either another set-top box, or a lesser box Comcast "Digital Transport Adapter" which I have gotten off them Motorola DTA100/2305/000 (f/g no. 555117-001) and attached. cable from the wall to a splitter, 1 to cable modem, other to comcast dta then to WinTV-HVR-1600. I can see channels using the tv cards included software (WinTV7), but it has no tv guide... I have gotten the TV guide feature in gbpvr to work, and can hear internet radio fine. I've read through the posted "initial setup guides", but some of the screens are different, and well I'm obviously getting something wrong since I can't get any channels to play.

does anybody have I-XMLTV for Schedules Direct working on a win7 64bit machine. doesn't want to work for me. right now I am using UltraXMLTV Enhancer Version 2 but cannot get the bat. file to work for some reason and have to manually update the guide in several different steps. any suggestions for either would be much appreciated.
thanks
Sorry if this has been covered; I've searched but not found it! How are people ripping to FLAC? I read on flac.sourceforge.net that Winamp was one way but even with a FLAC plugin, apart from saying it is processing and slowly churning through each tune, the end result is a Winamp playlist file
Been using GB-PVR for a while and love it. The only shortcoming is that the packaged DVD plugin doesn't quite suite my needs for navigation. I need to be able to skip titles, etc. Because of this, I was thinking of developing my own little plug in to handle this.
I noticed a playDVD function in the plugin helpers, but is there a way that my plugin can control the navigation? Or maybe better put, can my application take input from the remote or keyboard and forward this on to the DVD Navigator filter?
So I come to you wise guru's on my knees, begging for your assistance.
I have a hvr2250 card which is not able to pick up any channels on it's ATSC scan. Wintv7 picks up 17 different channels. GBPVR sees 0. I have been all over the forums and the wiki and can not figure this one out for the life of me.
I am running windows 7, gbpvr version 1.4.7, and current drivers from Hauppauge.
I followed the guide in this thread to the "T" so to speak.
I tried swapping the PsiParser.ax file with one from the survival guide (last version survival guide?) just to try it, and swapped it with the PsiParser.ax from the Wintv7 directory and still have no results. I have since returned to the original PsiParser that was install with 1.4.7.
I have attempted to retrieve the exact frequencies that wintv7 uses via the method of this thread here, specifically the posts by JavaWiz (post 59 and 61) even though they are for QAM instead of ATSC/OTA thinking that perhaps the method should at least be similar. However the code line doesn't return any exact frequencies. Actually no results at all.
I have tried editing the all.ini file (located in the /BDA/ATSC directory) with frequencies I found here as a desperate effort and still no results. I have returned the all.ini to it's original state. Was it the right file to change? I don't know, but like I said, I've reached desperation and am trying anything at this point.
I have another card, an HVR1800 that I had installed and had the exact same problem with although that one could pick up analog channels, I have not tried analog with the HVR2250. I swapped the HVR2250 for the 1800 with the idea that if I could get one of them to map I could copy the frequencies/file for the second one. It is my intention to run them both when this is finally completed.
So here I am, humbly requesting any thoughts, ideas, hopefully solutions.
If I need to provide any logs other than the config log please let me know.
I recently experienced a filesystem/bootsector crash on my tv pc, and took the opportunity to upgrade to windows 7. The system is running great and playing back all files I previously recorded, which were stored on other drives in the system.
Upon finishing install, I installed the latest GBPVR 1.4.7 and then copied over the config.xml gbpvr.db3 and recording-dump.xml from the crashed windows partition. I rebooted windows and GBPVR was up and running just as it was pre-crash.
Now I see a problem. I believe there may be some sort of lock on my database. The new recordings made this evening are not in the "Recordings" list. They do exist in the file structure, and playback on the screen.
I also just did a quick test of quick-recording a show, waiting a few minutes, cancelling the recording, and it did not show up in the "Recordings" listing.
I'm not sure what part of the forum to post this hardware might be more appropriate.
I analyzed my mpg files that get recorded they are 720x480, my output from my cable box is just standard analog. Is this coming from my card like this in mpg2 format? The files are huge for a NTSC signal. I'm working on conversion down to 480x270 keeping the aspect ratio and changing bit rate to vbr.
1. I have question I always have some black on the left and right sides. Not as much when viewing a 16x9 video, but a lot in pillerbox. Does anybody know how many pixels I can strip off the sides during the ffmpeg conversion. I can trial and error it but that will take forever.
2. I've added the following code to config.xml, I want avi file but gb-pvr is passing an mpg extension to the destination file. This caused me problems until I figured it out. Now I copy the file in the gb-pvr directory and use it for conversion since you can't have the same input and output files. ffmpeg croaks.
