Hi all, [EDIT: will post logs when i can change the log level and renderer, i.e. not while I'm recording something]
Recorded TV playback is currently giving me a black screen. Setup is Win7 32-bit, a GeForce 220 GT card, Core2Duo 3GHz CPU, and GBPVR 1.4.7. Freeview|HD arrives via a Hauppauge 2200 card.
I had planned to use the EVR renderer and the MS DTV-DVD codec, as I thought this would provide the best picture quality and hardware-accelerated decoding. When I use this combination to play back a recording, I get a black screen. Stopping playback brings back the UI.
The VMR9 Fullscreen-Exclusive renderer and MS codec works, but the CPU usage is around 60%. The EVR renderer and Cyberlink PowerDVD8 codec works fine about 10% CPU.
Am I doing something dumb here (most likely), do the MS codec and EVR renderer simply not work together, or is this a genuine problem?
Had an older version of GBPVR with a PVR-150 on XP SP3 and it worked flawlessly until Comcast decided to go digital. Purchased a HVR-1600, installed the card and software and upgraded to latest version of GBPVR. (removed the PCR-150 BTW). When I use WintTV7, the video and audio is fine but when I use GBPVR to watch live TV, map digital channels, or watch a recorded program, it only plays for 30-40 seconds and then the audio cuts out but video is fine. Any ideas? Thanks!
When I use the BDA Recording Plugin to watch clearQAM HD channels, the picture is very jerky and jumps all over the place. The Direct Recording Plugin fed from my STB looks just fine. What could be wrong here.
I want to apologize for not contributing much of anything to the project. I've pretty well lost all interest in customizing/tweaking GB-PVR. Various conflicts and compromises have left my HTPC functional at a basic level, but unable to achieve much of the vision I had when I first started out. With the loss of the 'dream', I've become content with it as-is which means there's no more energy for changing/improving/fixing anything. It records what it's supposed to most of the time, comskips it pretty well, plays it back just fine. None of the shortcomings are anything you or I could fix anyway. I think you get the idea.
I appreciate being invited to contribute, and very much appreciate all the work you've already done and are still doing. CS is a worthy project, no installation of GB-PVR is complete without it.
Future releases of GB-PVR and/or changes in my setup or desires may well re-kindle my interest in the project and get me 'geeked up' about it again. Should I have anything worthy to contribute I'll just post it in this forum for your consideration.
My favorite feature of Windows 7 is the Libraries. I have 3 hard drives, each with 2 folders..."Movies" and "Shows". So I made 2 libraries, 1 for the 3 movies folders and 1 for the 3 shows folders. I grouped by "(None)" so the the libraries look like all my movies/shows are in 1 folder(when they're really not).
I was wondering if GBPVR could be made to recognize my Movies Library and my Shows Library as folders so I won't have to look through 3 different folders to try and find what I'm looking for?
I have tried HDTV2MPEG2 and iFrame. They cut the commercials fine (no audio sync issues), but when I convert that file to h.264 (for my iPod) the audio ends up out of sync. This happens every single time I try to convert, doesn't matter what converter I use. Is this the fault of HDTV2MPEG2? Or is it the fault of the video converters?
I have a batch file to run on a ts file that is 1080p, but says file is 60fps according ffmpeg. Looks like mpeg4 codec only supports 30fps. (I think this is my problem)
During the first pass I get a average of bitrate of 2200 but the second pass the mpeg4 codec complains that the bitrate is to low for the codec and errors out. codec below.
I just tried to install this program on my new hp pc running vista 64bit. the net radio shows all the channels but when i click on it, nothing happens. Do i need a TV tuner card to use the radio feature? because i dont have the card yet. Thank you.
Currenlty I use GBPVR and I also have a PCH A-100. My son watches videos (mostly AVI files) that are stored on the computer that runs GBPVR. This just uses simple file sharing between that computer and the PCH. He likes to use GBPVR better because I used MetaDataGrabber and it shows the movie's poster and description. So my question is ... If you use GBPVR on the PCH he will see the nice menus and movie information, but the PCH will no longer use simple file sharing to play the movies right? Instead the GBPVR will process the file and stream the movie to the PCH from my understanding. So this is going to work the GBPVR computer much harder and may not give as good of results and he is getting with the PCH and simple file sharing. Can someone give the their experince/understanding ... pros/cons of doing this?
