I watch videos and cinema trailers over and over again... probably out of sheer boredom. If a video was watched to the end and it returns to the previous menu (a completely watched video), it would be nice if it did not prompt to ask if you want to resume or restart the next time you selected to watch it, since it completed its previous full viewing session.
Occasionally I will watch a live sporting event by way of letting it record for about 30 minutes and then start playback while it is still recording. Sometimes I will catch up to the recording in progress with time remaining in the event. Instead of pausing it I usually exit out of GBPVR and do something else on the computer and then come back to watch the still recording event another 30 minutes later. It would be helpful to have a resume button there so I dont have to skip ahead an hour or two to get back to where I left off. Not sure if this is just a missing button on the Slick Skin or something that has not been implemented yet.
I realized recently that even up to almost 9 at night the current weather is shown as 'Sunny'. Even the update time is a few hours past nightfall. I'm just curious where the weather info comes from for this plugin. Maybe they should just put 'clear' instead of Sunny.
I just find it funny and I had to waste someone's time to read this.
Unfortunately my experience has not been great. I have two main issues one which I am working on fixing as I believe much of the issue lies with my main GBPVR server; is that live TV is awful. jerky and artifacts all over the place.
However I don't believe the second issue is the main GBPVR servers fault. he scrolling up and down file lists is really erratic and so slow. it is really annoying to use, any one any tips on how to improve the experience? I hope this is not Normal experience...
I haven't used my tuner card for almost a year (since before the switch to digital TV). I had done something to mess it up and just never got around to fixing it, then I decided to reinstall it. Anyway, so I'm starting from scratch now, and I cannot get the darn thing to find any channels.
My card is a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 1800 and I'm using GBPVR 10407.
On the configuration tab, I set it to Digital Recording Plugin, and choose Hauppauge HVR-1800MCE (ATSC) as the tuner. I set the EPG to XMLTV Plugin. I click Update EPG, then Map Digital channels to EPG channels. And it won't find any channels. My antenna is plugged in to the TV In connector on the card. And every time, I get "No channels found. Please check your signal and configuration settings."
I realize this might not even be a configuration problem with GBPVR, but I don't know what else to check to even be sure that the card is functioning! Anyone have any ideas? Does it sound like I'm setting it up right? Those are the only changes I have made to the config at all...is there something I forgot to do besides set up the tuner?
I was trying out GB-PVR on my Windows MCE2005 machine (since PCH cannot show MCE2005 interface). However, I could not get the livetv to show any channels through the Comcast DTA. Anyway, I gave up after a night and had uninstalled the GB-PVR app.
Now, I was trying to start a migration to WHS for my tv recorder. (Try my PVR150MCE in it first and then but a HDHomeRun). So I first installed GB-PVR and tried to connect. (This time the WHS:mvpmc share files are newer/different from my old MCE2005:mvpmc share about a month ago). There is some problem with WHS connection that I am trying to figure out. I can get to the telnet.html file but
While I was fiddling around on PCH, I clicked thru the share I had setup to my MCE2005 machine and the GB-PVR.html file (which does not exist on WHS:mvpmc share) on that mce2005:mvpmc share. When I clicked on the GB-PVR link, it actually brought up my WHS GB-PVR interface! :confused:
Please see that again - PCH -> MCE2005:mvpmc share -> GB-PVR.html on MCE2005:mvpmc share -> WHS:GBPVR Interface.
I cannot understand how that is working since their IP addresses and the server names are different. How did the interface from WHS load without going through the share from that machine? This was just just when I was heading to bed so I did not dig around but it seemed to show the folders from that machine etc. The Live Tv etc. did not work from PCH since I guess it did not have a tuner installed in it.
Recorded loads with GBPVR over the years but suddenly I am getting a lot of recordings that, when played back, just stop on a frozen frame - this might be after a few minutes of play, or after an hour. It started about a week ago. I upgraded to 1.4.7 to see if it helped but it did not. I keep seeing 'found expired lease, stopping recording' in the logs of the affected recordings...
Logs attached include one of the problem recordings which was 'The Beach'.
Before coming to GBPVR I was using the trial version of BeyondTV. It had some program management features that I'm not sure if you have or not. For starters, conflicted programmings would not just show as being in conflict but would show what other programs it was in conflict with. Additionally the system would try to resolve it by looking for the next repeat of the program that was not in conflict. Can GB do this?
It also had a calender view that you could see what programs where scheduled to run each day for the month? is there one for GB?
With the newer releases of Arcsoft you can have the HD PVR record directly to MP4 (XBOX 360 format). Is there anyway to have GBPVR do the same instead of a .TS file?
