I'm using mc2xml to update my EPG, but after I update, I have "No Details" for all listings. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. My UpdateEPG.bat file consists of the following lines:
@echo off
Rem Get Guide Data from mc2xml
c:\EPG\MCEPGUpdate.exe
Rem Send the command to GB-PVR to tell it to update its EPG
C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\gbpvr.exe -OnlyUpdateEPG
My MCEPGUpdate.exe is and executable of a .bat file that consists of the following:
del xmltv.xml
mc2xml.exe -f -c ca -g XXXXXX -C mc2xml.chl -F -o xmltv.xml
where: XXXXXX is my Postal Code.
Now the base xmltv.xml file is built from the mc2xml.exe command and resides in the same directory. The gbpvr command is run as it builds an xmltv.xml file in the gbpvr directory. Thing is the original file is around 50-60 Megs, while the rebuilt one is over 100Megs. But I'm still getting "No Details" so I don't quite understand where I'm going wrong. Should I be deleting the xmltv.xml file that resides in the gbpvr directory as well? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. I also REMed out the "C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\gbpvr.exe -OnlyUpdateEPG" command as I read in the Wiki that it is not used externally anymore, but it didn't make a difference.
Any suggestion for a .ts h.264 HD editor. Something simple to chop the start and end would be fine to start with.
I've tried a few feature or time limited demos but they seem to want to recode the file as well and upset aspect ratio's and take forever.
I want to record a series of BBC HD shows that my niece is in and make sure there is plenty of pre and post padding but want to get rid of the excess later on.
Has anyone had any luck getting surround sound to work through the PCH? It's certainly not a deal breaker, but I do miss having it available for the digital broadcasts.
Well, as the title states I'm getting ready to set up my HTPC pretty soon and I just want to nail down a few things before I do. I found this set up list on the forum and just used it as a model (thanks Pob) to see if what i have works and to get some input on what people think i should use with my pc setup to get the best result. I'm not too sure that the hauppauge I have will work, though it worked well enough with BTV before the digital switch. I also have satellite but am not thinking of incorporating that in just yet. that is another project.
this is really my test HTPC, as I use it for email and what not. I am trying to talk the wife into letting me do a new build HTPC/Server pc in the basement and I think I can sell her on the pvr factor, but, I digress.
So, here is my set up so far. I have a ton of codecs and stuff. so, let me know what you think. I am interested in some of your experiences with GB-PVR, because I tried using it a year ago I think it was and didn't have to good a results, and wound up buying Beyondtv and it is okay but I would rather try something different...
Have a look and tell me what you think:
* Operating System Windows XP, Intel pen. 4 - 2.66 ghz, 1.99 gb ram, sp 3,
* Video card used Geforce 5200
* Analogue or digital tuner? Hauppauge pvr pci II 26xx / Conexant BDA DVB-s tuner/demod
* Video renderer ?
* Video decoder ?
* Audio decoder ?
* Multiplexor ?
* H264 playback ?
* DivX / XviD decoder ?
* Display connection DVI (PC) -> HDMI (TV) 32" lcd tv, up to 720 HD
I suppose my main concern is my capture card. I mean it all seems pretty straight forward and I'm pretty sure I can handle getting it up and running.
So I made the switch from analog Comcast cable with no cable box (coax plugged directly into the TV) to digital Direct TV with HD and I have a box now.
The installer saw I had a splitter with one line going to my computer/GBPVR box and then one cable to the TV. He says that Direct TV will not work with the splitter and removed it. My Direct TV with HD is up and running fine although I had to switch to composite? from the HDMI cable because every time I switched channels when using HDMI, the audio would cut out... it would come back if I powered cycled the TV but I didn't wanna deal with that and dropped back to I think it was composite cables. Anyway, the sound is an issue I'll troubleshoot later and is not my issue for this thread.
My question is, how do I get my GBPVR box hooked up to direct TV? Has anyone made this switch? Also, now that I have HD, do I need to upgrade the TV capture board in my computer to an HD card? or can I still use the non-HD card and just not record in HD? Do I need two direct TV boxes and use one to connect to the computer and one for the TV? I know I can watch live TV through GBPVR but I would rather not do this and somehow split the signal.
I've been having a problem with receiving live tv from a host computer with gbpvr over a wireless network. I am able to access recordings but not live tv. What happens when I select live tv is that it will be black for about 5 seconds and then goes back to the main menu. I've tried streaming and file sharing mode as well. Any help would be appreciated.
I've recently configured a new GBPVR system for my brother. His setup uses a Nova-S USB2 for reception of Freesat (UK).
Although the system can correctly tune and display satellite channels when in Live TV with "Live Preview Mode" enabled, it struggles to record them. Recordings usually fail (creates a file of 0 bytes) or record a random number of minutes and then fail.
Bizarrely, when I visited today to examine the system more closely, I discovered that from Live TV I can press record and the recording proceeds okay (data is written to the record file). If, however, I exit Live TV, no more data is written to the file even though PVRX2 and the recording service indicate the recording is still happening (file size constant). When I subsequently return to watching the channel being recorded, the file starts to increase in size again. On playback, the file has the chunks of the programme I saw in Live TV.
If I disable "Live Preview" mode, I can't even watch the channels in Live TV.
I'm totally baffled. I tried changing multiplexers but that didn't really seem to affect matters.
Anybody know how to set the audio gains (tuner and line-in) on the PVR150 with newer drivers such as 24227 or 25039? The old tweaks from Amontillado don't seem to work.
Can the audio gain be set through direct.ini? Globespan parameter? Or Gain under Procamp settings?
My analog recordings are way too loud compared to DVDs or digital captures that use AC3 sound. So far, I haven't found a way to set Stereo volume different than AC3 in the audio decoder. I've tried Nvidia and AC3 filter for this.
