as i was playing with the current version of gb-pvr, i was not amused, how difficult it is to create a station list. :o I find out, that the scanned stations are stored in the file SCAN-1.cache which ist text oriented. So I write a tool, which presents the possibillity to sort, filter, remove, rename, add stations in this file and save it.
So you can reduce the list of stations before you create your favorites.
This tool is less than beta, but by me it's working fine. It's not a plugin!
Copy the file in the BDA folder of your installation and run it. Be sure, that your gb-pvr is not running!
I'm using DVBS, so I'd never seen a file from other HW. Does it also work?
In this thread you guys explained how one tuner could record several channels which were on the same MUX.
Using my Hauppage TD-500 twin tuner I wanted to record four stations continuously (set up as Manual Records) as well as recording several series on the same four channels.
I discovered that to prevent conflicts, the manual 24hr blocks had to be set up first, so the channels were 'assigned' to each tuner correctly. The subsequent programmes would then 'know' which tuner to use (the one already being used to record that channel).
With me so far?
However, I've found that as time moves on, and we get past the initial 14 day period, conflicts start to appear as the new recording slots are applied without the due care used initially.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to either:
Force the 24hr recording 'blocks' to be set up first? then everything else should fall into place...
Force a recording slot (manual or otherwise) onto a specific tuner?
When skin.xml changes as MixMan and I will be doing for Web Radio is it better to load a new skin name ie newskin.xml rather than failing on missing values in the existing skin.xml files that will found in other packages?
Just gone for rebuild with GBPVR 1.4.7 and think I've missed out something with MVPMC dongles. Clarification needed! Can I run the MVPMCX2 dongle with my MVP's (have no PCH) and will that give me any added enhancement or should I stick with old MVPMC dongle I have which works brilliantly for nearly everything?
I use the "reclock" audio renderer during all video playback, to correct frame rate differences between the display and the recording. I can highly recommend this filter, my opinion is that video playback feels much more smooth using it (I've read some folks have had problems with it though...). It shouldn't be strictly necessary in live tv preview mode I guess, as my display runs at 50 Hz as do the PAL broadcasts I watch. But it does make a clear difference here too on my machine.
But here comes the problem: Reclock buffers the audio (500 ms buffer => 250 ms delay per default), and during normal video playback the video is in some way compensated automatically. But in TV live preview mode, this doesn't work so audio gets 250 ms behind (it seems to work flawlessly except for the audio/video out-of-phase thing though). I found a way to fix this, by enabling "ffdshow post-processing", and enter a 250 ms video delay in the ffdshow settings. Fine. Except that the same setting is used also during timeshift mode/general video playback, so here the audio now gets 250 ms ahead instead.
Therefore: Would it be possible to add e.g. separate settings in GBPVR whether or not to use ffdshow for live TV and other video playback?
(even better would be if there is another way to delay the video during live preview mode only... My video quality gets slightly worse with ffdshow, maybe some of the nvidia "purevideo" features are disabled then or something...)
My setup:
* Asus P4/P5N9300 barebone (integrated nvidia GeForce 9300 graphics)
* Win7 x64 RC
* Hauppauge HVR-2200
* I use the Microsoft video decoder (I believe this is the only non-extra-cost one supporting PureVideo...?)
Just a reminder here for other MVP users, as I go through this stuff myself after each upgrade.
It's likely that the MVP's won't be able to connect to the server after the upgrade. You'll need to update your firewall settings, as most firewalls will block an "approved" application when the size/date/etc. of the file changes. Tell it to once again allow PVRX2.EXE through the firewall.
If you use MVPTrayIcon, you'll notice that the icons don't appear any longer. You'll need to go into the system Services app, scroll down to find the GBPVR Recording Service and modify its properties under the Logon tab. Click the box to "Allow service to interact with desktop" and click OK. Restart the recording service and the icon(s) will appear once again.
Perhaps I've missed something obvious but I can't record TV programs for later viewing. I've scheduled them to record but they don't. Interestingly GBPVR creates a folder for each of these programs in the "temp" folder (not the folder I configured it to put files in - that was the "my videos" folder) but each of these newly created folders are empty and there are no files of the recording in either the "temp" or "my videos" folder. I'm using GBPVR 1.4.7 in Windows XP. Your help is most appreciated.
Hello, I have doing some testings for streaming video to my psp, using VLC in the server and using a software called "PMPVLC" in the psp client.
I have got good results with the following commands in the target setup of the stream output:
out=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=600,width=480,height=272,fps=25,venc=x264{me=dia,subme=1,analyse=none,bframes=0,b-adapt=none,chroma-me=none,merange=1},acodec=mp3,ab=64,channels=2}
