I am having trouble with UiStatic's not being redrawn if I don't use a ForceRePaint
Code:
long slen = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < 8 && slen < 250000; i++)
{
try
{
FileInfo flen = new FileInfo(myVlcRecorder.outputFile);
slen = flen.Length;
flen = null;
Hashtable args = new Hashtable();
args["@nowPlaying"] = "Buffered " + slen.ToString();
nowPlayingUiStatic.SetArgs(args);
PluginHelperFactory.getPluginHelper().ForceRepaint();
}
catch
{
slen = 0;
}
Thread.Sleep(1000);
}
I assume this is because the Sleep blocks needsRendering(), but I tried with a Timer too and that seems no better because I guess the needsRendering() doesn't work when the code is in another thread. I've fought this for a couple of evenings. Is there are better solution?
My wife is away for a couple of days so I figured it was time to upgrade. That way if there was a glitch, I would have time to fix it before she got back. LOL.
Everything went smooth for the most part.
I did have a minor hickup when it came to playing back my recordings. They always wanted to fill the screen in auto. The videos played fine at the proper aspect ratio. I tried all different codecs with the same results. Then I decided to try live tv. It worked fine, so I recorded a show. It played fine when it was done. However, all previously recorded shows always play at full screen now. It is like they lost their aspect ratio information. I can watch them by selecting pillar box using F7, but I don't always keep my keyboard out in the tv room. Its more for support use. Has this been an issue for anyone else and is there a fix so my other recordings will play properly without having to F7 when changing from a pre-upgrade recording to a post-upgrade recording and back.
I've been trying for days to get my GBpvr working after changing from Comcast to Verizon. I don't think the problem is really either one of those it's just that something happened during. I was on an old version that I just loved, 99.12, and was unable to get it going. I thought i screwed it up somehow but just couldn't find the problem. I took it out, re-installed it, no better. I removed it all and installed the new version. I'm getting the same exact problem for some reason.
When I record something all I ever get is static, like the capture card isn't there, even though it's seen when I'm setting it up in config. I can view and record TV directly from WinTV so I know it's there and works. It's the same unit I've been using so I know it works in GBpvr, at least it worked in 99.12.
I'm really stumped and the wife is scowling at me yet since I've now missed two days of her soaps.
Anyone want to help save a marriage or at least my sanity?
I got my A-100 today and did a clean GBPVR install and MVPMCX2 setup in about 15 minutes! REALLY COOL installer! It was so easy, I thought I missed something when it completed.
Anyway, per the idiots guide I checked everything out and it work great.
I have an assumption and a question.
Assumption- on PCH reboot, there is no easy way to have it boot up into the gbpvr interface. (I didn't see anything on how to do this)
Question- I tried to configure my network share per section 3 of the dummy guide. I guessed at what should go in the share name and the URL, but it does not work. My system is configured with all the default file positions and file names. My server PC is named DVR2 and the IP is 192.168.1.101
When I browse using the network browser, I see my network workgroup name (home) then the computer name (dvr2) then mvpmc. I get an error that it is unable to resolve the host name.
I would appreciate any help on configuring this part.
Well, I could pick up all channels until last few weeks and hoped somebody could point me towards an advanced setup or something to get me up and running with ITV and '4' again.
I have reinstalled GBPVR a few times and rescanned many times. I have the scan set to ALL REGIONS as my initial scans did not pipck up BBC..
I am using a cheapo USB dongle ZAP E3C but to be honest guys, it was been working great for 18 months now and all evidence does point to the low power MUX2 being the cause of my receiving loss.
Would appreciate any advice as cables are all connected fine and other MUX's some through perfect.
After running the Visual C++ redistributable and then running the install for 1.4.7, I'm getting errors just before the install finishes:
PsiParser.ax failed to register. HRESULT -2147010895
GBPVRTSMon.ax failed to register. HRESULT -2147010895
This system was recently rebuilt and has .Net 2.0 SP2, 3.0 SP2 and 3.5 SP1, along with the 2005 redist.
If I try to manually register those modules I get an error that says "LoadLibrary(PsiParser.ax) failed - this application failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem". It might have been helpful if the error message told me which application failed. (And it sure would be nice if Microsoft would make it possible to copy and paste those error messages!)
OS is XP Home and it was running 1.3.11 fabulously until this morning.
I know this is a long shot but you never know until...
I have an unsupported Sabrent 7130 TV/FM tuner card.
Using the Software Recorder plugin method I have TV working beautifully. I am using the latest Version of GB-PVR on Vista. I have installed lame.ex which I understand is a prerequisite for FM playback.
Is there any way the FM Radio tuner could be recognized in capture and then activated for use? I.E. adding a second tuner profile or something.
Any sort of suggestion is appreciated I am willing to experiment.
I've just begun ripping my DVD collection, and some DVD's seem to play fine on the PCH while others just get a blank screen (rebooting the PCH is the only way out).
They all play back fine in PVRX2 locally on the server. Does this have anything to do w/ copy protection or anything? Is there encryption in the ripped images that VLC & apparently PVRX2 can crack, but not the NMT's player?
(And it sure would be nice if Microsoft would make it possible to copy and paste those error messages!)
