Since I installed 1.4.7. the EWA stopped working, in that as soon as I clicked on a listing I got an error;
Server Error in '/gbpvr' Application.
Could not load file or assembly 'System.EnterpriseServices, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
In searching for a solution I saw mention of guide2 - and not only does it work, it looks so much better!
My links to the EWA on two PC's have been saved in my Favourites folder since I first installed GBPVR, and have never been changed - so I was always going into guide.aspx. Got me wondering how long guide2 has been part of GBPVR, and how many other users are linking to guide from saved shortcuts? I visit the GBPVR forums frequently, but somehow I totally missed guide2!
I'm running GB-PVR 1.4.7 with an HVR-1600 tuner card in the U.S. I'm trying to get closed captions working with the MPEG decoder I want to use.
If I have the "Show closed captions" checkbox checked in the Misc tab in Config, then with the "ATI MPEG Video Decoder", closed captions work for digital recordings, but not for analog recordings. (Also, the ATI MPEG Video Decoder tends to crash on me occasionally.)
With "Show closed captions" on with the "Cyberlink Video/SP Decoder (PDVD9)" decoder, closed captions work for analog recordings, but not for digital recordings. Most of what I watch is HD digital recordings, and the Cyberlink decoder seems to work best on my system, so I'd really like to figure out how to get it to work with closed captions.
While diagnosing this, I connected to GB-PVR with GraphEdit with captions on and the Cyberlink decoder on a HD digital recording, and then saved that graph and reopened it in GraphEdit outside of GB-PVR. If I then replace the standard "Line 21 Decoder 2" with the "CyberLink Line21 Decoder (PDVD9)" filter, and then play it in GraphEdit, I see the file playing with the captions working. So, it seems like the CyberLink decoder just requires use of its own closed caption decoder rather than just using the standard one.
So, now I just have to figure out how to get GB-PVR to use this graph when playing a file. How does it select which filter to add to the graph to do the Line 21 decoding? Is there a config file setting somewhere? I tried changing the Merit of the CyberLink Line21 Decoder filter to be higher than the Merit of the basic Line21 Decoder, but that didn't seem to do it. I've not yet tried lowering the merit of the basic Line21 Decoder, as I was a bit nervous to start mucking around the internals of DirectShow too much.
I don't know if it's relevant, but the PDVD9 filters I'm referring to are from a trial copy of PowerDVD 9. I'd be happy to buy the $15 decoder package from them if I knew that it'd all work, but I want to make sure that it all works in GB-PVR before buying anything.
I'd appreciate any suggestions anyone might have. Thank you very much.
Does anyone know how to fix channel tuning when an OTA channel changes it's frequency? WHDH in Boston, Mass changed frequencies last week and I have not been able to get GBPVR to find it when scanning. I am on GBPVR ver 1.3.10. My Channelmaster DTV converter box found it with no trouble after a rescan.
I would like to add the program description information to either MPG files or convert them to DVR-MS files and add it there so that the information shows up in Windows 7 Media Center.
Is this possible with GBPVR and if so how?
Looking in "recording-dump.xml" the information I need is already there in the description field.
Thanks
Kevin
Can anyone recommend a 2 way splitter available in UK that is amplified?
Here's the problem.
I have put 2 Nova T 500's in my box and while the signal strength and quality are 60/100 on one card with 2 cards just using a passive splitter I get hops skips and jumps occaisonally and sometimes it is so bad the channel is unwatchable.
Am I right in thinking that an amplified splitter would solve this? Please provide links to your recommendations. many Thanks in advance.
I know there aren't many (any?) WebRadio users out there if there are, do any of you listen to Live365? Even better do any of you have a paid account (mine is the freebie)? I have a few favourites but I needed a bit of work to scrape the web site for text for now playing information.
The reason I am asking is a lot of information comes back (Artist, Album, and Track Name) and I was curious how others would like to see it. Long names will get truncated especially in the screen saver. The second example shows an extreme, imports can even show the native language.
Hopefully I can get ACTCMS (MLPanel) and MixMan (for the skins) involved too since the album art is available.
using ver 1.4.7 on clean install of windows 7 32 bit, NOVA-t-500 tuner, i am having the following problems
I can enter the tv guide, select a current show to watch, but i only get picture and sound for half a second then just a black screen, or alternatively i get picture with the "no signal detected" overlay present for a second, then black screen also (see 1st set of logs)
alternatively i can go to the tv guide, select a current show to RECORD (in this case tv3 - sticky tv), and then while still in the tv guide i can select a second channel to watch (i.e.c4) which gives me half a sec picture, then black screen, then full video and audio comes back fine and i can navigate through channels no problems. However if i then go back to the guide, select the recording show to watch ( which playes back fine), then when i exit the guide, and then attempt to re-enter from the main menu, pvrx2 becomes completly un-responsive and must be killed with task manager (see 2nd logs)
Interestingly, after this occurs windows explorer does not work correctly either, with the right hand pane not updating as you navigate through the folder structure on the left hand side.
Hope this post makes some kind of sense, its been a really long day :eek:
any suggestions most welcome
ps anyone using nova-t-500 (99xxx series) with windows 7? what version of drivers you using?
I am getting jerky playback from time to time. This is much more noticeable when playing recorded TV rather than live TV but looking carefully I can see it occurring in live TV as well. My Divx movie library plays back smoothly.
I have the SAF filters installed (I think) but I am not sure if FFDShow video is in use even though it is set as the Mpeg-2 playback video decoder as I do not get the red FFv box in the system tray although I do get the FFa blue audio box.
I have tried a variety of video renderers (default) VMR9 Fullscreen Exclusive and most of the MPEG2 - Playback video decoders (I show the following options)
System default
ffdshow Video Decoder
Ulead DVD Video Decoder
Cyberlink Video/SP decoder (PDVD9)
Ulead MPEG Video decoder
on the system which is a dedicated machine running XP with an dual core CPU running at 2.6Ghz and 2G Ram with a Nvidia 8600GTS video card running 1024 x 768 reduced to S-video 576i output for my old SD TV and a haupage PVR 150 capture card (SD only if I understand this correct).
I'm afraid I don't understand the filter decoding and playing process very well and I would appreciated any guidance on how to get past this problem as apart from this jerkyness the system runs very well.
