This is odd, I set it to record a clearQAM channel, and this time around, I left the default quality level be medium. I know that setting isn't supposed to do anything for digital recordings, however, in this case, it produced a .ts file that is 704 x 480 1,206,745,680 bytes for a hour show.
The issue is, when using VLC to play it, it doesn't show a duration at all. It has 0:00/0:00, but it IS the full hour show.
Using a different player, it shows 10:43 as the length.
AVIcodec shows:
Video : 1.10 GB, 14821 Kbps, 29.970 fps, 704*480 (4:3), = MPV Decoder, Supported
File : 1.12 GB (1.12 GB), duration: 0:10:43, type: DSH, 1 audio stream(s), quality: 98 %
the other show I record (different station) with a quality setting of high, had:
Video : 1.24 GB, 2944 Kbps, 29.970 fps, 1920*1080 (16:9), = MPV Decoder, Supported
File : 5.41 GB (1.41 GB), duration: 1:00:47, type: DSH, 1 audio stream(s), quality: 98 %
I'm using a Kworld ATSC-330u. I just want to use the program to watch over the air, HD channels. I went through the configuration files per the instructions and mapped serveral over the air HD channels. I tested them in the little window and they work fine (except there's no sound). But when I close the configuration program and open the PVRX2 program and select LiveTV, nothing happens. My operating system is Windows 7 Evaluation copy Build 7100. Thanks for any help.
I'm getting the "request cannot be processed" error when I use the GB-PVR via Network Browser" option. If I use the first option of "GB-PVR" the GB-PVR menu displays. I'm using the default skin, but it displays in the top left corner of the screen with the left margin cut out. But it works to the point that I can play recordings or watch live tv, but anything I play stops and turns black after about 5-10 seconds. I can then press return, choose something else to play, with the same result.
I read the sticky about "request cannot be processed", and some other threads that deal with similar symptoms. But I haven't been able to solve the problem. I used mvpmcx2 following the dummies guide.
Some history: I'm running windows 7, 64 bit, with SD HDhomerun tuners. PCH A-100 can play GB-PVR recordings through a smb share of the c:\Temp dir. I've run NMTInstall.exe several times, with different results each time. Initially, using the default skin, I was able to play and record normally, and I had access through the Network Browser option. The only problem was the menu display I mentioned above. So I ran NMTInstall.exe again and chose the the mayhem3 skin. This resulted in VERY slow response times, almost unreadable menus, and nothing would play. So I ran NMTInstall.exe again choosing the default skin, and response was fast, but still no playback, putting me in the current situation I described above.
So I'm stuck. The guide says to run from Network browser. Does it matter? Is the first choice of GB-PVR viable, or is it mandatory to choose via Network Browser?
I'm posting logs with this, hoping that will help. The first attempt is with the windows 7 firewall on. Playing the recording resulted in an immediate black screen. The second is with firewall turned off. Playing the recording resulted in a black screen after about 10 seconds.
How do I invalidate the baseline screen background rectangle to cause incremental update to do a full update? ML3 overlays the background with images and lists and sometimes as the views are changed the old screen appears under the list boxes. If there are enough changes to force a full update the normal background is shown.
Not sure if this is the right forum but here goes...
Is there a thin client out there or other solution that would connect to a PC monitor? I have a 19" LCD monitor with VGA and DVI connections. Would like to put it in one of the rooms with said device. I would like to avoid putting a PC in there as it's the guest room.
Since my old recover recordings.bat file got deleted in forum maintenance, i made a wiki entry for a more premanent home..
It basically imports lost recording's metadata from the metadata.xml on each file and makes a recording-dump.xml file and mports that into pvrx2...A poor man's Vidimport... The data will look just like it did before as it's same data as it used to be.
A nice new feature is that i added is that it adjusts paths on the fly, so if you for example, changed recording dirs, it will adjust the filename inside to the new path automatically..
run from a network drive, it will make them network paths...
In full. So short version...
