fyi, I get a fatal unhandled exception when I use the SearchWizw2 plugin on my PC under pvrx2 to search for info about the show "House".

Now that I have 2 DVB-T tuners and 2 analogue tuners I really want to avoid using the Analogue's unless I absolutely have to so I get HD - Stangely I seem to often get analogue recordings at times when there is little or nothing else recording. I currently have <PreferAlternatingCaptureSources> set to true. If I have <TryToHonourPaddingIfPossible> set to true does this mean it will still use another tuner for a subsequent recording on the same channel rather than stopping and starting the same tuner? I hate (strong word) having 1 minute of a show on the start of the next show which is the main reason I want so many tuners. I actually have another twin DVB-T card in I'm about to configure so then I'll have 4 HD tuners so hopefully it won't be an issue. From what I've witnessed it appears that when you book a new show to season record whatever tuner was used on the first show will be preferred from then on??? Is this correct?

Cheers,

Matt

hmmm,my aver m780 can only do 720x480...that's it...[analog]
i was wondering which cards can gbpvr change the resulotion of...
or does it just work with any card that has those resolutions available?
i like the AVer card a lot, but it has a temporal filter i can't adjust away...[occasional trails]
and a low end limit of like 4000 on bitrate..[kinda high, but can't do lower resolutions,so not really needed...bitrate range,4000-120000]
otherwise it's much better quality than the blackbird types..

i mean i know the Conexant based cards can, but any other brands?
how about ati 650? or the newer hvr2250 style cards? what's their bitrate range? are there any tweaks for it? [does it have the adj. filters like spatial/temporal, like conexants,like in haupptweak]

thanx

Hi,

I've just uploaded v2.9 of the TV Listings plugin at the wiki. Changes include:

Quote:- fixed a bug where the status image on the timeline was scaled wrong
- added Play/Watch keyboard/remote shortcuts for the details popup
- added option to include in-progress recordings in the “What’s New” recordings list
- reintroduced reminders to pre-book a show for later watching
- added option to make ‘OK’ the default button in confirmation popups
- fixed no longer working Amazon Lookup due to their API change

i have the credit card sized hauppauge 35 button remote (7 rows x 5 cols) that came with the HVR 950 usb tuner. the remote sensor is directly on the side of the tuner. is this remote supported or do i need some special patches?

thanks!

I've got two (well three really) NMTs and I've got a weird issue.

If I connect to the GBPVR box with one it works fine and will continue to work fine.

The other one will go to a black screen, then crash and go back out to the NMT.

It doesn't matter which one I use first, the other one is locked out.

A restart of the NMT or GBPVR service doesn't help. A restart of the box lets the other NMT on, but then the other can't get on.

I've not upgraded to 1.4.7 yet

Logs are attached.

Decided to try and use the NMTInstall to do a full dummies install. I am running this on a freshly installed XP. NMTInstall crashes when it tried to start downloading something. Hard to see what since it dies so quickly. Looks like it was trying to download an xml file. Is there some place to look for error messages?

Thanks,
Greg

I want to try to iron out this issue BEFORE I upgrade to the latest 1.4.7 so that I'm not juggling too many problems. I haven't had much time lately to pursue this but was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.

I am trying to refine postprocessing.bat to handle some .ts -> .mpg transcoding (for MVP) and find that Gbpvr 1.3.11 is recording recurring files but that SOME (no discernable pattern yet) transcodes result in "valid" .mpg files being produced but NO corresponding entry being available in Gbpvr. So now I have a disk filled with lots of recurring recordings -- seemingly transcoded correctly -- but I can't view them.

Thoughts/Questions:

A) If some application called from postprocessing.bat sets an return/exit code, is this honored by GBPVR in some way? Specifically, if a non-zero exit code was seen by Gbpvr, does it fail to update the database? I know that some of the ffmpeg transcodes are seeing "errors" in the transcode but it appears to finish. I was wondering if an exit code "thrown" here might get carried up the chain as an exit code when postprocessing.bat completes -- and Gbpvr might not update the database under this condition.

B) Does anyone have a quick way to "import" my recorded but seemingly ignored files other than hand-generating a new recording-dump.xml?

Configuration details --

I am using Gbpvr 1.3.11 configured with an HVR-1600 (Digital) capture card to record from Comcast with Clear QAM channels.

Because I am a MVP user, I have been using ffmpeg to transcode from the recorded .ts files over to .mpg. This has been problematic but I am making progress by tinkering with PostProcessing.bat to give me the right order of ffmpeg transcode (for .ts files only), followed by Comskip.

I have Schedule Direct and DirectTV. In Schedule Direct, I have to have a DirectTV lineup, and a local broadcast lineup. The DirectTV line up has channels that are whole numbers 72, 202, etc... But the localbroadcast channels have dots followed by numbers, 5.1, 5.2, 10.1, 10.2, etc... So when GBPVR gets the listings, all my DirectTV channels listings are fine, and the local channels are empty. I couldn't find a place in GBPVR that allows me to use channels with the dot notation. Someone in this forum must have been through this, I searched, but couldn't find anything relevant.

Any info is appreciated.

I'm running GBPVR v1.3.11 on an XP machine.

Hi,

I just moved in a House and will change my configuration into DVB-S reciewing. My sat setup is that I use a multiswich that puts together hotbird and astra.

Can you recomand any tv-card (budget but good ;-) ) that will do the job?
Maybe with hw decoding and maybe hdtv too :-) ?

tnx
