I have been using my NMT now over one year and have installed NMTInstall.exe with no issues. No share issues, can play video fine. The only problem is the menu displays only in the top left corner of my 16x9 screen but video plays full screen. I have followed the instructions with all the default installation. I have powered off the NMT and my PC with no luck.
The PHC did start once in full screen but could not play video the screen only hangs and the only way is to turn off the PCH and power up. The only way to play video is when the menu comes up in the top left corner I know it will play fine but the menu, TV guide,etc... are too small.
Please help, I removed GB-PVR and mvpmc folders and installed again with the same problem.
Hi,
if you want to convert files.ts, recorded by a radio station that broadcasts in DVB-T, in files.mp3 using FFMPEG.
Alternatively, you can convert the same files.ts, devoid of video information in files.mpg For Editing with special software?
Thanks
I run a number of MVPs and one PCH. I run mvpmc on the MVPs but have not upgraded the PCH to use PCH2 mode yet but want to do so. My only worry is that I have a lot of bad timecoding in my ts files. I would say that at least 40-50% have bad timecodes when viewed on the MVPs but most work fine when viewed on the PCH. So my question is if I start to use PCH2 will I start to see the same timecoding issues on the PCH too?
Hope the above makes sense, and thanks for any input.
I just noticed a set of 25 single layer BD discs at Newegg on sale for $50 ($.08 per gig). My last hard drive was 1TB for $100 ($.10 per gig). Since I think the time is fast approaching where I might opt for a blu ray burner instead of another drive, I figured I'd see what you guys know.
My experience with DL DVD burning was not so good. I have an LG super multi drive that likes to reject some DL DVD brands. Recommendations at forums: only buy verbatim discs. I'd like to avoid this issue on blu ray if possible.
Is there an enthusiast favorite burner with high tolerances for variation in disc manufacture (I'd really like it to at least be able to burn anything with a brand name)? Have any of you gone the BD burning route? Is there any real concern about trip and quad layer BDs ever becoming mainstream and needing a new drive to burn them or are they forever vaporware? Any set-top blu ray players that support Divx or xvid playback?
Any other knowledge and recommendation is welcome. Thanks.
1. why can't i resume a recording while it's still in progress? i can only start watching from the begining, or resume after the recording is done.
2.how can i see the signal strength and quality of my dvb-t dongle? i know that it is being shown while scanning the channels, but i don't get any numbers in there.
I have just started playing with gbpvr, and have v 1.4.7, I bought a
pinnacle emptyv 51014521 - 2.2a tuner (not listed), because it was the only one at the swap meet and cheap.
I'm hoping some kind person\s can help with ini file, Ive had a go at modifying an existing one but dont know what the lines starting with PIN in the ini that I modified refer to so this is the filter log for my card

If some one already has one great., or assistance with creating it would be great. this by the way is my first post
I have been a long time SageTV fan (and a ReplayTV before that). But lately I have become disillusioned with the SageTV system. The community is awesome, but the company seems to be making little progress towards the features I want (stability and interface issues). When I last evaluated PVRs a few years ago SageTV was the best choice for me and my hardware. But GBPVR appears to have made outstanding progress and my needs have changed such that GBPVR may be a much better match for me. (or MythTV - but that is a whole other conversation and evaluation - although I do run multiple Linux boxes).
I have 3 valid XP PRO 32 bit licenses (full and legal - left over from various installs for clients) and 2 Windows 7 HOME 64 Bit licenses available. I would prefer to use XP just because they are not allocated, whereas the Windows 7 I will probably be used over the next couple of months. Essentially my XP licenses are FREE. I am not sure what results (PRO/CON) GBPVR users are having, although the forums seem generally positive about Windows 7.
Would GBPVR be better under XP or should I bite the bullet and use my Windows 7 license right of the bat?
My hardware is Silicon Dust dual tuner and some Hauppager boards (which I do not really use and could drop). I have a spare AMD Athalon 64 4600+ with 4 GB of RAM and an ATI HD4670 available for this experiment. I use an 8 TB UNRaid server for storage over GB Ethernet.
My AV collection consists of: multiple CDs in MP3 format, organized by Album, artist, track name. Many VIDEO_TS directories each within a directory titled after the Video in various directory hierarchies, tons of MPG-2 recordings from both ReplayTV and SageTV over many years.
If anyone has imported SageTV recordings could you refer me to those posts? I searched but the proper keyword phrase eludes me. I was able to code up a conversion to import my old ReplayTV recordings into SageTV (yea Perl) and I am pretty sure I could do the same thing for GBPVR if I understood the import mechanism. I may get away with just using the file name titles but not sure how GBPVR will index/search on that? With as many AV elements I have a search function is rather critical.
The system will replace the SageTV in a cabinet in the living room and utilize a remote and Plasma TV for the primary interface. I have a Logitech Harmony (RC) and MCE remote available. A keyboard and mouse are available but I really want to avoid using that for 99% of my activities, they clutter up the living room and even the Logitech DeNovo is a pain to use for long.
There are two users me (very experienced) and my lady (best to keep it VERY simple - AV is for relaxing not calculating).
See anything that would nix GBPVR?
WOW, that was a lot more detail and questions than I thought I had when I began this post.
I have really not acceptable audio, whether recorded or live, whether GVPR or WinTV.
Video is fine; audio pops.
This is XP Pro, all updates, on a Asus k8n-E deluxe- 1.8. RealTEc AC97 digital out (the optical jack). Not rocket grade, but should be fine/ has been fine.
Feed is through a comcast set-top box (digital to analog)with IRBlaster. Analog TV in, 16x9 not-HD out.
The PVR-350 was doing fine performance-wise, although I hadn't tested it much with the set-top adapter box, but I wanted to play with the OTA digital on the 1600. The other Tvs in the house have similar converters and their signal is fine.
I can play back large mpeg etc fine with VLC, surround and all, and if I play back a PVR recording with VLC the popping is part of the recording.
The 1600 is updated with all the current Hauppauge drivers. Word on the web forums is that Hauppauge is useless/ unresponsive these days re: card issues.
Should I just give up on this card and do a little dance on it? Or is there some tweak I can to do get it working better.
I have a few old school (serial port 9 pin) Jet-eye IR blaster/receivers up for grabs still, 'free'.
Also, I have a number of miscellaneous Video cables, s-video/white-red-yellow RCA-Audio, and so on.....
I have been cleaning the basement, and I am liquidating everything computer related. Nothing is for sale, it's all free for the taking. Just a shame to pitch stuff that's still good. I am working on a list of what I have left. I have RAM of every sort/motherboards/cpu's/fans/coolers/routers/cables/mini lcd's/laptop/power supplies...
Water cooler (thermaltake I think?)
I also got a Sigma Xcard from ebay some years back I never used. Also free for the taking.
