Hi all,
I've Been running gbpvr fine on my pc along with other background progs and decided it best to move them to a spare pc and make a server out of it. gbpvr 1.4.7 has been installed on the server, working 1.4.7 standalone config/db has been copied over and the db paths corrected. Thought all was well but neither client/server option is working fully, here's what I get:

• File Sharing
  Recordings work about as fast as running in a standalone setup. Live TV loads in also about the same time as a standalone setup but has stuttering playback (seems to me as issue when writing to the file server side and reading client side at the same time).
  
• Streaming
  Live TV works but with a huge delay when starting/changing a channel, recordings look like they are loading but only show a black screen and pvrx2 has to be killed.
  

Folks,

Ok I've missed something but I can't think what

it's a fresh windows 7 installation (Windows 7 Ultimate RTM) on my laptop (complete reformat) and I've got all the device drivers working fine and I'm good to go.

I've installed vcredist_x86.zip and GBPVR10407.msi.

Everything installed fine, Config works and is updating config.xml etc

When I start GBPVR is doesn't draw the GBPVR main menu, the Window is there and if up arrow and hit enter, I exit correctly....

I'm not seeing anthing in logs .. which I'll add once I'm home

Any suggestions??

I guess stattik might be able to help me with this, but I do not know how to post this specifically in his sub-forum.

I use stattik transcode script to convert mpg2 ATSC HD recordings to divx. It has worked extremely well in the past.

Due probably to errors on the stream or may be the BDA multiplexer that I use (ATI Mpeg Mux), there are cases where mencoder fails and the scripts hangs with a windows message error box. The script runs at night but due to the error it waits for some one to close the error message before continuing.

What this does is that if the script needs to run for 4 or 5 recordings , the system's memory is exhausted and the other recordings do not process or break the original recording.

Is there any way to tell mencoder to run "QUIET", like so many linux scripts that you add to the command line "--quiet" and the error messages are not displayed ?

I know that the script responds very well to %ERROR% variables if mencoder encounters an error, but due to that window error message, sometimes my recordings do not get transcoded and even worst, when I close the error message the script continues to the end deleting the original recording and now I have nothing.

In case anyone is trying to download either the mvpmc dongle, or download/run NMTInstall, CSI Install or get any files for the NMT/PCH I have had a few message telling me mvpmc.org has been down since yesterday. Jon who runs mvpmc.org is aware of the problem and he has opened a ticket witht the host.

This is a good time to reflect on what it takes to get "free" software and offer a reminder that there is donate button that would help offset Jon's costs for mvpmc.org http://sourceforge.net/project/project_d..._id=103474

on your move to a dedicated forum.

Because of the need to retune after the 30th Sept my set up now has channels with no audio. My list of channels when I do a scan lists BBC2 twice. The second details audio 2. When I map these and try to view the channel I get no sound on BBC2 and sound and picture on BBC2 Audio 2. BBC1 is fine but I now have a real mixture of sound / no sound channels.

I've removed the capture source several times and rescanned but I keep getting differing results.

So I've gone from all being fine before the 30th to a completely messed up TV Guide.

Nightmare!

Hi there,

I'm using gbpvr for quite a few years now. I started with an AMD Athlon 2700+, an Asus board, a hauppauge pvr350.

In the beginning I used the tv out hardware mpeg decoder from the 350 and the picture on my tv was quite good. Then sub discontinued the support of the tv out and I changed to the tv out of the board, the resolution was higher, but the videos were a little bit blurry. The sub started the next generation with pvrx2 and my gfx card didn't support vmr9. Therefore I purchased an old ATI 9600 and it worked again quite good. Then I bought a Samsung 37" LEB650 with HD and suddenly I saw how blurry the picture really was :o) I thought its time to say goodbye to my old hw and changed to an Intel 5300 duo core cpu, Gigabyte Mainboard with HD sound, HDMI out, 2GB Kingston RAM, 1TB Samsung Spinpoint, (very) low noise housing and a DVB-C TT 1501. Now the pc is very silent, very fast, but the picture is not as good as I imagined it. It's still a little bit blurry an motion blurring also occurs, if I play the the same file with the internal media player of the samsung, the picture is sharper, clearer and most of all nomotion blurring at all.

Does anybody have an Idea how to improve that? Best resolution, best mpeg2/divx/xvid encoder, renderer or something how I can get rid of the motoin blurring?

And thanks to sub for this great work over all the years, if only windows would work that good ;o)

Hi,

Recently I've been having a problem whereby random shows record
in high speed. An hour long show records with fewer frames than expected, e.g. 23,374 frames & length 12:59:00 compared to a normal recording, e.g. 109,665 frames & length 1:01:00. This makes the show unplayable as all the action is played in high speed. All my recordings are in analog.

The problem started, maybe by coincidence, when I added a 2nd video capture card and upgraded to the latest WinTV 7 drivers (File name: WinTV7_CD_2.exe Date: 9/9/2009).

Has anyone else dealt with this issue?

When I use GBPVR to transcode a .ts file to xVid format it creates a file in 720 X 576 format. Playing the file gives a 4X3 type image with wrong aspect ratio. Pressing F7 displays the video correctly in fullscreen on my 16X9 monitor.

I am using Windows 7, the latest version of GBPVR and the SAF codec pack.

My question is - is this how transcode is supposed to work? Is there a configuration option I can use to ensure transcode creates a widescreen video without me having to use F7?

Thanks

Please can someone help with settings for the WinFast PalmTop DTV200 H USB card as this card is not listed in the devices section yet.
I am posting the FilterCheck.log file as recommended in a previous post..
Thank you in advance.
