I have been converting .ts files into .mp4 files automatically in pvrx2 and once the file is converted to mp4 and the .ts is deleted the movie no longer appears in pvrx2 under new recordings.
Conversion from mpeg to avi are fine. Is there a setting somewhere I can adjust?
Or at least, doesn't work on some channels. The logs contain an attempt to view a encrypted channel and pause it, which work on the first channel. I then switched to another channel and pressed pause again, the screen goes black, after a couple of seconds the OSD shows up but still no picture. Pressing pause again (to resume) does nothing, still black screen and it never comes back.
BTW, I'v only tested encrypted digital channels so far, which is the most critical for me.
First day using GBPVR and have managed to get it mostly working.
The one thing I can't do is change channels on my TelstraClear Digital decoder (which I believe is a ADB 3000).
I am using Windows 7 with GBPVR and a PVR-150MCE with the IR reciever and transmitter.
Have tried using HIP (which comes up with an error when started) and IR Server using IRBlast.exe to send channel changes as described in the documentation with no joy.
Has anyone done this before and can lend a hand?
Additionally I've run into a few bugs in GBPVR, when pausing and unpausing live tv it will crash. Also I have a widescreen TV but although I have GBPVR set to 16:9, live tv plays in 4:3.
I'm using GBPVR 1.4.7, the xmltv plugin, SchedulesDirect, and UltraXMLTV Enhancer 2. Tuners are 2-PVR500's for a total of 4. A couple of questions:
1. Some channels, like SYFY, no longer show listings -- just "no show details" for each time slot. ScheculesDirect says that the data is there. I suspect this is due to the name change from SciFi to SYFY, but I don't know how to fix it.
I ran Update EPG for each tuner (not sure why you have to do this for each tuner, but I did) and zipped the file. It is attached.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
2. Also, while I am at it, if I want to do all of this in a batch file and not through the GBPVR auto update function, how do I set each tuner as to "EPG Source"? And how to disable the GBPVR auto update?
I'm having issues when I click the forward buttons. It stops the video and audio for 30-50 seconds. The time keeps going, but there is no audio or video advance. Anyone heard of this, right off hand?
This is unfortunately a long post. I hope somebody will take the time to read it.
Well, when a hard drive died in my old HTPC setup, I bit the bullet and did a full upgrade. Got all new components, considerably upgraded. I was running the Win7 x64 RC on my normal PC, and it was so great that I decided the new HTPC would run it too, since I had 4 GB memory.
The first thing I noticed is that my PVR 250 will just not work. This is no big loss, I suppose, since I have the Hauppauge HD PVR, and mostly I record HD stuff anyway. The x64 vista drivers from Hauppauge work just fine for the HD PVR, and I can use GBPVR to record. I assume nobody here has any hope for getting the PVR 250 to work under Win7 x64 (but correct me if I'm wrong!).
However, I cannot get the HD PVR remote control to work at all. Installing IR32.exe doesn't generate an error, but it never appears in the system tray or in the task manager, as if it's executing but then closing without doing anything. Running in XP compatibility mode doesn't seem to help either. Has anybody got this working? Maybe I'm being dense.
The other thing is the H264 TS playback. It works beautifully in WMP and the Windows Media Center program, without having to install any codec manually. In fact, it works so well that I'm afraid to install the Haali decoder or ffdshow, which were mediocre at best last time I tried them. But playback in GBPVR doesn't work at all (program just goes back to the menu upon trying playback or Live TV). Also, as I've been using TS Packet Editor to edit the TS files, it seems to need Haali, since the video preview mode in that program doesn't work (Error: Auto creating filter graph). I'm a bit baffled by this, since if Media Player can do it, I would think GBPVR and TS Packet Editor could do it using the same graph---evidently I'm wrong. Any advice here would be really helpful.
Last night went to the recordings screen and hit the pending button and got a lock up. Tried on a popcorn hour and on the server. Finally figured out what it was, I have been archiving some programs from the server to a home server (another machine), and the home server was off.
The log was posting messages about Lookforrenamerecordings (I have this on and deletemissing turned off).
I'm guessing that there was a network timeout happening while trying to find the recordings on the other server. Do you test for File.Exists before trying to do anything else on that file? And does a File.Exists wait for the no network exception or return false pretty quickly when the file can't be found?
