I have the problem that sometimes GB-pvr can't play DVD-Menus. It is always the same discs that won't work so I am searching for a way round the problem.
The obvious way is to use the tab for external player and connect the ".dvd" to MPC instead.
The reason is that the .dvd virtual extension is not selectable (all dvds is stored as Name\Video_ts).

Is it possible to add this so I can play these movies in an external player from within gb-pvr?

I'd like to start by saying I doubt this is a problem with EWA, but more likely my lack of networking knowledge...

I've set up GB-PVR successfully on one machine (called CEEFAX). I can access it using the IP address:

http://10.0.0.4:7647/gbpvr

but I cannot access it using the computer name:

http://CEEFAX:7647/gbpvr

I just get a "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage", however the interesting thing is that if I use:

http://CEEFAX:7647/

I get "Server Error in '/gbpvr' Application." so it must be seeing it?!?!

I'm sure it's something simple that I'm just not getting it Any help, gratefully appreciated...

That is something i missing there, would be great feature.

I believe it needs to be done on GB-PVR side (like MediaPortal did by adding MPC-HC subtitle engine). I known this is not possible on GB-PVR becouse it is not open source, but similar solution will be great.

Thanks.

My sound card can render to two different outputs. IDT Audio 1 and IDT Audio 2. In the Playback section I have Audio Renderer set to IDT Audio 2. This works correctly for playing Live TV and for the Video Library. But, if I am playing recorded video, the sound comes out of both sets of Speakers. IDT Audio 1 and IDT Audio 2. Also, if I pause video, and then play in time shift mode, audio comes out with both sets of speakers. So why does playing time shifted video play audio on different speakers than playing from the video library?

I have Exit unselected in Plugins, and yet I still see the Exit option.

Hello everyone, fist post. I've done a bit of searching but I can't seem to find anything that works for me. My problem is, as the title says, when watching OTA HD at 1080i the picture is blurry and just looks like garbage. I've begun to dread shows broadcast in 1080 rather than love the higher resolution. 720p is, as to be expected, very fluid and nice to watch.

I've tried everything I've read. ffdshow deinterlacing, DScaler deinterlacing, Alparysoft deinterlacing, I've messed with the deinterlacing options under Misc, I even went so far as to acquire nVidia's PureVideo decoder and the deinterlacing does next to nothing. I've tried setting ffdshow to only use NV12 and set the Bob deinterlace flag. Nothing works. I'm really getting disheartened with the entire process.

This is what does work:
Pausing live tv so that it starts a pause buffer, then opening the buffer in VLC and selecting the Linear deinterlace option. Doing that makes 1080i fluid and beautiful. Obviously this is a less than optimal solution. I suppose my issue is that if VLC can do it on-the-fly while playing a pause buffer why can't any of the many things I've tried above do it seamlessly from within GB-PVR?

I'm sure there must be something I'm missing. Some setting some where. Any help with this issue would be wonderful. Thanks for taking the time to read this.


EDIT:
Figures as soon as I make a post I get it working. Some how my codecs were totally screwed up. Honestly I'm not entirely sure how I got things working properly, but PureVideo is now showing DirectX VA mode C (idct) and Video mixing (DirectX 9). It didn't do this before. I think ffdshow was getting in the way.

So, hardware deinterlacing is working and the image looks good. Now the problem is that it jerks in full screen. Not horribly but just enough to be noticable and annoying. I guess now I troubleshoot why DXVA is so jerky.

I have a Hauppauge WinTV HVR 2250. Right now I am only using it with an analog signal because that is all that is available in my area. That being said, analog video runs at 640x480, however when recording with GB-PVR it captures at 720x480, and when looking in the gb-pvr settings for my device, the only options that are allowed for the card are 720x480, 480x480, 352x480, and 320x240. I am curious if anyone knows if the reasoning I cannot use 640x480 is a limitation in my card, or a limitation of gb-pvr?

Thanks,

Has anyone used a NetFlix Roku player with GBPVR?

Specifically, can I hook it to a PVR-150 or 500's a/v inputs and view/record it through GBPVR, or does it put some analog copy protection on that prevents that?

Hello:

Am I correct in assuming that I will never be able to take advantage of the digital input on my Hauppauge 1600 card if I have a (Comcast) set top box? My understanding is that the set top box decodes the cable company's signal and converts it from digital to analog, and I am therefore limited to using the analog input on my card.

Also, given the circumstances above, can I also assume that I will always need an IR Blaster to change channels (with the card tuned to Channel 3)?

Thanks for any help,

Chris

I have finally manaaged to gert my DVB-T and DVB HD S2 cards to work in my new PC.

The DVB-T card is set to use the DVB EPG Broadcast and the DVB HD S uses XML TV .

I note that when I press update EPG from within PRX2 only the XMLTV EPG updates.

The query is how can I set GBPVR to update both EPG's

Thanks for your assistance.

I am a newbie, and just downloaded GB-PVR. I have DishNetwork HD. Am looking at ways to record from the satellite receiver and turn my computer into a DVR.

Is the Hauppage 1212 PVR the best way to do this? And will GB-PVR work with this device to record, or will it just playback from my downloaded files?

Also, will GB-PVR replay Blue-Ray files, or disks?

I have a good feeling this is only the beginning of my questions
