1- Is there a utility that can be run after EPG runs to update the Search Guide table so that it doesn't take so long to bring up the Search Guide when you run it (it only takes a long time the first time you run it each day)?
2- is there a way to turn off folder creation so that each program that is recorded is not put in its own separate folder but rather in one common folder?
3- is there a utility or a variable that can be set that will create a file name not only using the program name but also the episode name (like in the tv guide when highlight a program it show program name, a dash, and then the episode name)?
I purchased a new computer, 3.0GHz Quad-Core CPU, 4 GB RAM, 1 TB harddrive, HDMI out on Motherboard, vista X64 ultimate. Installed the newest version of GB-PVR and started using it, and while watching MKV files of 720p video, all is fine for about 5 minutes, then video freezes and audio continues. I installed the k-lite mega codec pack before installing GBPVR.
I was using system default for decoding, I have changed them to everything under the SUN, but video still locks up.
Previous system was only a dual core with 3GB RAM, and 1TB hard drive, but it did have PCE16x Video card. Vista x32 basic.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks GOD, I still have my old system in case I need to put back the old system.
Forgive me if this information that I'm looking for is posted somewhere but I cannot seem to find the correct information or tutorial on how to accomplish.
Here is the scenario:
I have many TV shows stored on a large hard drive. I would like to be able to view information regarding the show and the episodes contained within when viewing through gbpvr. I need to know what plugin/script/core component to use to grab this info from imdb or whereever to make it available to gbpvr. I also need to know what the directory structure and file naming convention needs to be to accomplish this. Right now I have the following directory structure: SHOW NAME / SEASON # / episode files. I have no consistent file naming convention so I will change to whatever is required to get it to work.
Currently all these shows are access through gbpvr Video Library core component.
Any help and/or guidance to a correct tutorial is greatly appreciated!
Forgive me if this questions been asked before. I've searched and could not find an answer to my question.
Ive just installed windows 7 and installed gb-pvr and everything works great.
My question.
On my old setup of winxp and The previous version of gb-pvr I used to dump the captured .ts files into a single common folder. Now with gb-pvr 1.4.7 it creates a seperate folder for each capture.
I know in the previous version there used to be a chack box I could check to have GB-PVR not create the folders for each capture. I can not for the life of me find it in the new 1.4.7 GB-PVR.
1. Found a nice trick to force waiting for a shutdown or startup script using just gpedit.msc.
i haven't tested how long these cmds will wait,but they start before logon in startup and after desktop disappears on shutdown.. [EDIT: seems it does run scripts, but i can't get it to wait for recording completion..]
Startup/Shutdown Scripts:
1.) Start, Run, gpedit.msc
2.) Select Computer Configuration, Windows Settings, Scripts (Startup/Shutdown)
3.) Double Click Shutdown
4.) Click Add, and browse to the script.
5.) Click OK, and OK again.
6.) Close Group Policy.
7.) The script should now be run on shutdown.
Anybody interested in a little util i wrote, that intercepts suspend, and runs script with as much time as you want, say to kill a problematic device with devcon, then continues suspend...upon resume, it can run another script/cmd...[to restart device,etc]
basically it just cancels the suspend completely, runs script/exe/whatever, then resumes suspend, not blocking it this time...
Attached program pauses suspend request till a program or script is run, then suspends, and can optionally run another command upon resume...
my script is still pretty rought but it works great.. it doesn't intercept the 'suspend' from settings menu tho, Sub forces the suspend....
use a normal suspend cmd to do it yourself from a custom menu item..
[i'll build in a suspend function later]
the second param is optional, but first one isn't..[cmd to run at suspend]
SuspDeny.exe "CmdToRunAtSuspend" "CmdToRunOnResume"-[Optional]
it runs invisibly...pause to exit..
run with no params to see help..
I have configured GBPVR to use the acamd (v0.6.11) plugin using the 'mdapi summer' package. It works but every time I click live tv it starts with a windows installer window 'please wait while windows configures gbpvr'. Like you see when using 'config'. It also does this when zapping to another channel. The mdapi tray icon displays immediately and opens multiple instances and als multiple acamd icons, but they disappear when you point the mouse pointer on top.
When I start at an unencrypted channel and zap to an encrypted channel it works, but if I start on a encrypted channel it displays 'this channel is currently encrypted'. If zap to the unencrypted and back it also works. Also no 'please wait while windows configures gbpvr' windows in this case.
I am using the KNC One dvb-c device and Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
Like the title says: LiveTV or TS file playback using any of FFDshow's codecs, or CoreAVC (the two H264 codecs installed) all result most of the time in displaying only the top left of the video image - the bit containing BBC HD and now much more.
Hi, can anyone help me pls? I can't seem to get audio with gbpvr 1.4.7 for hauppauge t500 dual dvb-t tuners, after scan I added the channels (without the audio channels) and when recorded there's no sound on the recorded programs? I've searched this forum and found a related post to this problem but to no avail. Therefore, is there a solution pls? thx
I have now my PCH up and running most problems I had with firewall (maybe still some problems here) and upgrading GBPVR. I unistalled GBPVR and run the installer in dummys guide to MVPMC and then it went very well.
First a question what is the difference when choosing GBPVR, GB-PVR via the Network Browser, GBPVR USB ?
is it faster performance in choosing any of them?
I have a general question regarding skipping forward/reverse and and fast reverse which do not seem to function - FF works.
same problem from PCH as from GBPVR - when trying to skip I get a PCH message ! and nothing happens. Any idea?
Is it possible to autstart PCH in GBPVR mode rather than chossing via the share?
