I used to access gbpvr via web gui in older version, now i cannot get acces via web browser any more. What should I do? I would just type in the ip address of the gbpvr machine. What Happened?
I'm trying to burn a DVD from an MPG that is originally 6.6 GB. After the commercials are cut out the file will be much smaller, and should be under 4.7 GB. Even when I have "Shrink is OFF" set, the file is still shrunk - I'm assuming because of the original file size. Is an MPG file produced from Skip Tool that has the commercials taken out that I could manually create the DVD or ISO from, or is there some other way I can do this without losing content? The thing I'm finding is that the shrunken version has lost some content from the video. This isn't the first time this has happened. I've seen this on other large files too.
On begin my hardware and software info:
WinXP SP3, GB-PVR 1.4.7,WinTV HVR 1300 TV card (latest drivers) + analog signal only
I have two questions:
FIXED by using VMR9 custom instead of VMR9 FSA 1)I just found that new version of FFDshow (rev.3167) is causing d3d device lost durning chanel change in GB-PVR. No problem in older rev.3151. So before i report this to FFDshow team i would like to known if this could be by some reason GB-PVR problem? EDIT:
From log:
2) some of my recordings are recorded without sound. I bet problem is in my WinTV HVR 1300 TV card, becouse it failed to init sound durning chanel change. It is little hard for me do describe, but i will try how i can reproduce simillar issue durning manual channel change.
It happend if i didnt configure video decoder in GB-PVR config and leave it to system default. In this case GB-PVR create graph without "GB-PVR Flow Status" filter before video decoder (like here - not related to haali, i am no longer use it to split MPEG2 + i always define video decoder now) - and my HVR 1300 sometime failed to init sound durning channel change. If i setup some video decoder, the problem is gone.
So this leads me - can it be connected to recordings without sound issue? Like GB-PVR create graph without GB-PVR Flow Status causing HVR 1300 didnt reinit if no sound problem happend?
Maybe i am wrong, but i am thinking "GB-PVR Flow Status" is controling data flow in if it detect there is no sound, it will tell to tuner to reinit, right? So maybe by some reason i miss GB-PVR Flow Status filter in analog recording graph?
Sorry to not post LOGs, but i do not have any right now.
After installing my Christmas present (ATI TV Wonder 600 PCI card) I found GB-PVR as a replacement for ATI's TotalMedia setup, which didn't even detect my antenna.
I installed the codec package found here in anticipation of needing codecs for GB-PVR. Then I installed GB-PVR.
After detecting several channels in the Config screen, Live TV gave a "system does not support required VMR9 video render" message, which I resolved by switching the video render from "EVR" to "VMR9 Fullscreen Exclusive".
At this point, LiveTV in PVRX2 outputs the correct audio, but black screen for video, for every channel. Looking through the support threads led me to try:
1) Changing my MPEG-2 decoder to ffdshow Video Decoder,
2) Installing a NativeUtilities patch found here,
3) Changing the config.xml file to disable status check.
None of these changed the black screen problem. I ran PVRX2 in debug mode and am attaching the logs to this post. If you need information about my system that's not in my signature, let me know. Thanks for your time.
Some of my recordings are Dolby Digital (2 and 6 channels). When played through GBPVR on PCH the sound is output as PCM to my receiver. However, when I play the same file directly through PCH the output is DD. Is there a way to ensure that DD is output as such through GBPVR? Thanks.
First of all thanks for making this wonderful software available to us. Having tried a few, I'm really impressed with GB-PVR. I live in Denmark, and have connected my GB-PVR to the freeview DVB-T channels available (using a Hauppauge NOVA-T usb stick).
I have a recording from channel DR1 where subtitles are working seamlessly.
A different recording is from channel TV2, where subtitles are not showing. However, if I press ctrl-y or the yellow button on the remote, the subtitles now show, but unfortunately slightly out of sync. Is this a known issue? Is there something I can look into or do about it?
Going into my 6th year with GBPVR, I'm now facing my most comprehensive reorganisation/rebuild so far.
Situation
Situation is, that I have early made myself depending on Jeffs excellent Video Archive, that has unfortunately grown more and more inompatible, as it has sadly been undeveloped for years.
VA was necessary to support two things for me:
Move recordings to other local drives due to space issues. So I have recording directores on D: (Main); C: E: F: ...
Rename of recorded series, e.g. "104-Series Name-Episode name.mpg" located in folders like ".\Series Name\" or ".\1KidsSeries\Series Name" under the recordings directory.
Both of the above done completely manually, editing and moving files outside of GBPVR, and leaving it to VideoArchive to track the changes (which it does quite nicely).
Change
So - now I am in the process of setting up an unRAID server for unified network storage. The intention is to move all existing and all future recording into one "//Netshare/Recordings" folder (probably mapped to a drive letter like V.
I currently intend to leave actual recordings to be performed locally on the GBPVR PC and then move the recordings to the server e.g. every morning after XMLTV update.
Questions
So, my questions and call for inspiration are the following:
a) How do I best migrate the recordings from the current local drives managed under Video Archive to a situation where VA is no longer used, but GBPVR still recognises
original recordings moved to another folder than the original recordings folder still maintaining the original metadata (EPG info)?
renamed recordings in custom folder structures recognised and playable through GBPVR?
b) How do I manage the initial migration to the network storage includung the amendmendt of the GBPVR references to the recording files.
What would be the way to modify GBPVR database to point to the new location and successfully use it?
For recordings only known by VideoArchive (the files moved or renamed), how do I best import the metadata?
I hope to draw on previous experiences and knowledge of the current plugin and utilities as to what approach is recommended.
I install ML2 by copying the files into GBPVR, enabled it in GBPVRS config and set some settings, but when I try to open it in GBPVR the computer freezes with the following error-
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object"
details as per attached file.
please let me know if/which logs you would like.
Slimm no longer shows me status balloons when I "hover". More accurately, it shows me one--the next pending program--then I hear the little "popping" sound, but do not see any other information.
Not sure if this is by design but I often archive movies in the Xrecord ready screen to a directory which I can then access via the Xrecord "Videos" or Xrecord "Movies" screen. It seems however from limted testing that comskip no longer works from either of those screens, despite the timeline bar showing comskip.
Is this by design, or should it work in the same way as the Xrecord "ready" screen? If by design would it be be possible to alter the behavior?
