Sometimes I have the problem that a a recorded show from an encrypted channel cannot played back. It just seems to go on high speed through the TS file. The file size looks o.k. After testing the TS output with the PVAstrumento program it came with this log:

It seems that the stream was not decrypted.
At the moment I am using one Technotrend 1501C DVB-C card with CI and an Alphacrypt Classic CAM with the original smartcard from the cable provider. Multirecord support is NOT enabled and this behaviour is not consistent. This is the second time this happened in about two weeks.
The log does not show anything unusual (as far as I can see) at the moment of the recording.
I've had the most luck using the microsoft multiplexer, but after a few seconds, the screen blacks out. i get audio at times. the ts-mux gives me audio but no video. attached are my logs. thoughts? (under playback, everything is set to system default). also i'm using hauppauge hvr 1600 on windows xp
I seem to remember that gbpvr automatically synced with the recordings, i.e if you remove recordings on the file system gb-pvr's database should sync up with that. It does not now for me... Those recodings have no play button, only a delete.
While testing the ML3 Beta on the MediaMVP we came to the conclusion that it looks like there is a bug in GBPVR processing of FLAC and ogg files in 1.4.7. It seems not to respect the TransCode options (see discussion ML3 Nighly post #123) As this also affects the default Music Library, I decided to mention the problem here.

piggybacking off another thread that I had posted but have additional questions....
I have the following hardware:
Athlon T-Bird 1.4GHz (May soon upgrade to an XP2500+ or other if needed)
Biostar M7VIG400
768mb RAM (1-256 stick, 1-512 stick) PC2700
ATI Sapphire Radeon 9000PRO 128mb video card (but soon to go!:mad
Hauppauge HVR-1600
Old School 32" tube TV with component (RGB) in
Running WinXP SP3
I am VERY inexperienced with this, and am pulling my hair out trying to get good drivers/encoders/decoders/codec/whatever I need. So, I am looking to buy something that gives me the most assurance that it'll work with the least headache.
I am having the following 2 issues with my current setup -
1 - Just got in my DVI-to-component cable, but all I don't get a recognizable picture. Lots of cyan colors, and in some instances (such as the XP bootup screen showing "starting windows") I can barely make out the display, but it's horrible. There are three vertical bands showing the startup screen as well. To clarify, I am not talking about a fuzzy picture, I am talking 99% unrecognizable picture. I putcahsed a cheap cable found HERE. I rushed to get it, and didn't really think...is this not working with my antique TV because it's not a HDTV? I figured component input is component input. I am running the latest Catalyst (6.something) off of the ATI site.
2 - when watching live TV, if I pull up the guide at the bottom of the screen video gets really choppy and CPU maxes out. Otherwise, CPU while watching live TV is about 40%. Side note that I downloaded and installed a trial of SageTV, and using default settings (Sage decoder) I don't get any jumpiness with guides there. Other than the guide jumpiness in gbpvr, everything seems smooth and I am pleased. I like gvpvr MUCH better than Sage, so I'd really like to have it working well.
So, my question to you...given that my motherboard has a few PCI (not PCI-E) and an AGP slot, what is the best (AGP or PCI) video card (new or used) that I can buy that is cost/benefit balanced? I'm looking for something with known drivers/codecs/encoders/decoders/whatever I need to have it work with my setup. Also, need to hook to component or 4-pin S-Video on the TV. Looking to go to a flat panel later this year, but don't need this box to run HD (I know my processor/motherboard probably can't handle HD anyway).
If anyone is running a server that uses SpamAssasin, you may want to double check your rules. I found an issue where any emails received in this new year were automatically given a spam score of 3.2 which they did not previously have. This caused legitimate emails to get caught in my spam trap.
There is a rule that checks to see if the date on the email is 2010 (which it now is) or later. The rule can be found in 72_active.cf if you are running a standard configuration:
Code:
##{ FH_DATE_PAST_20XX
header FH_DATE_PAST_20XX Date =~ /20[[color=Red][B]1-9[/B][/color]][0-9]/ [if-unset: 2006]
describe FH_DATE_PAST_20XX The date is grossly in the future.
##} FH_DATE_PAST_20XX
If you change the portion in red to "2-9" it will then check for emails dated 2010 or newer instead.
Not really a request for support as I will wipe everything and reinstall, but all of a sudden I am getting a strange problem.
Just had BBC1 (1) on then went back to EPG guide and selected BBC News 24 (80)... but BBC played again instead. Went back to the guide and tried again but the same thing happened. It even happened when manually entering the channel number (ie) 80.
Then went back to BBC 1 and tried BBC News 24 again and this time the correct channel came on.
I have Weather2 checked in CONFIG to Update At Startup but it won't do this. It doesn't do it when PVRX2 starts up and it doesn't do it when Weather2 is first selected from the Main Menu.
I can get it to update if I select the Update button from within the plug-in.
I am running Windows 7 x64 in case that makes a difference since that environment seems to be different enough that other plug-ins/utilities are affected.
I recently updated to the v.1.4.7. Since then none of my recordings have been automatically converted as configured. I occasionaly missed one before but now I am missing every one. I can go into the Video Library and start the transcode process as defined by the same profile that is configured to automatically transcode files, so I know my settings are OK. Attached are my log files as well as my config.xml file.
I wonder if this is a feature that could be done some time in the future.
The meaning of this is to the one watching live TV be able to scroll down through all text that has come from xmltv.
I've seen this and sometime the text is VERY informative thus just cutting it.
On the skin I right now use, I finally found the XML for it and changed that from font size 13 down to 9 and now that is the smallest we can read in full screen and still some OSD descriptions has way more text so that will still be cut off.
This is the first thing I wonder so for know I need to cut the show off and go read it on the EWA webpage instead.
This last thing makes me wanna ask if there's another way to go read that info from a sort of "kinda" offline from Live TV, like have a half page of TV and still be able to "browse" around in the menu or something else, but I can't ask that here since it ain't no support section :p
