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:
I'm not sure if anyone has noticed, or cared, but...
The current time displayed for "Update Time", is the time the weather data stream has in it. So you could have a couple updates before that time changes, yet the maps get update with newer information before the weather data itself does.
So....
Should I change the update time to show the last time Weather2 updated, or leave it as is?
I often use isohunt to search for torrents, but I do it on a seperate workstation because of the risk of getting viruses and sypware when browsing that site. On my HTPC I do not run antivirus software because I do not access the internet from there. I would like to use the Torrent plugin but I am concerned about how the searches from isohunt would work and the risk of viruses and spyware. Are the searches done using a RSS feed from isohunt that skips all of this adware that is causing the problems when browsing the site?
Here's a database search util batch file i made...can search title,subtitle,description, with wildcards
Just polished it up for general consumption, added help, fixed bullets/crlf..
Usage: dbfind.bat [-t -s -d -a] searchterm
Example: dbfind -t house
Returns: shows with exactly "house" as Title. [case insensitive]
Switches: -t=title -s=subtitle -d=description -a=all3:title,subtitle,description
Use %% as wildcard: -t house%% would return all shows that start with "house"..[similar to house*]
or -t %%house%% would return shows with "house" anywhere in the title..
or -a %%house%% would return shows with "house" anywhere in database..
results sorted by date, case insensitive, only shows in future returned..
Must have sqlite3.exe in gbpvr dir and place batch file there too..
Run with no options for full help..
It's quick and thorough..
of course odd foreign characters will trip up the input, but it should handle almost anything..[Dos]
Case Insensitive and formatted date/times output..
Had a bugger of a time with crlf's in epg data but they work now
[dang bullets]
Copy and save as dbinfo.bat or whatever.bat..
