I'm almost done with the Comcast to Verizon switchover but I'm having a heck of a time getting channel changes to work correctly.
I'm using the USB-UIRT as the channel changer and the Motorola QIP2500-3 STB. I've learned the codes a half dozen times and it's close but not working well at all if it has to send a 4 digit code. It does fine up to three but stumbles on 4.
Does anyone have a good working dat file that they wouldn't mind sharing??
I've been using GBpvr for a long time now, it's been trouble free, reliable and while I record TV here and there over the years it's become my main music player. My setup until two days ago was version 99.12 and the Jukebox plug-in. It's become a family and friends favorite, simple to use, even for guests and since more than a few family and friends are in the music business in one area or another, music is always playing here, it's just a staple.
Now that I've been drug into the present (kicking and screaming) and installed the new version of GBpvr I'm in a bit of a quandary. I looked around the Wiki and while I knew Jukebox isn't supported anymore, that's the reason I was still on 99.12. I was hoping to see a replacement of some sort for Jukebox, but I don't see much in the way of simple, easy to use music plug-ins.
So what is everyone using for music these days?
or is GBpvr leaning more toward the video side of things these days?
I recently switched to DVR-MS. For me it works better than TS Mux for several reasons (not the least of which is comskip), but the big drawback is that if a recording isn't closed properly (due to a crash, reboot, other problem in GB-PVR, etc.), the file can't be played. .TS files don't have that problem...
So, anyhow, now I'm in dutch with the wife because I had to shutdown the recording service after one of her recordings failed to finish properly. The DVR-MS file was created, and clearly contains the show, but it can't be played - it just dumps back to the menu. I know this is a known problem with using DVR-MS...
So the question is, is there any way to fix the file so it can be played? Some utility that can just go in and fix whatever is wrong with it?
I am the new member in this forum. Few days back I brought a Frontech JIL-0614 (LCD TV BOX) - external TV tuner box. It is a external TV tuner, so I can watch the TV - only with turn on the LCD monitor. But when the computer is in running mode, that time i am not able to watch the TV, or I am unable to properly setup the TV tuner with computer :confused: [unable to sync the TV tuner with running computer].
And 2nd thing is that, I am not able to scan the all the channel manually or normally. It is always shown something like menu :
---
Fast Scan :
skip : off/on
Sync: TV/Air
Some body can help me regarding all these issue....
Thanks in Advance...
Hi. I am an old hand with GB-PVR, but very new to NMT. Anyhow, the Mayhem3, Blue and Slick skins work fine. Both the WS and SD will not load on my PCH.
I have this happen in 1.3.11 and 1.4.7 both. I do not use Live Preview mode and I know that makes channel changes slow, but my family is used to a LG LRM-519. When I first start Live TV I see a black screen for a few seconds and then everything works fine. When I change channels the video is paused for a few seconds and then the new channel plays but then a second or two later the video pauses for just a second and then plays fine. I tried changing the Live TV pre-play dealy but that made no difference. Any way to get rid of the second pause when I change channels?
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?
