I would like to play my PS2 using my computer's monitor and so I bought a TV tuner card; the software (WinTV) that came with it lags so badly, that I considered GBPVR as an alternative for viewing media output from my PS2.
So here's my objective: display video from RCA input in real-time (I'm not recording anything).
Could someone post a high-level step-by-step on how to do this?
I get lost in the sea of options when I open the GBPVR config program, and online documentation/wiki is very abundant with information I don't need nor understand (mostly related to viewing TV channels and recording; I don't need those). I also can't find any options to view RCA input in the PVRX2 program.
I have a simple wish, but it may be Xrecord related. When I go to Xrecord and into a show but do not play it, just leave the cursor in the list, if I leave it like that (teed up so to speak) after the Screen Saver kicks in, it always goes back to the main menu.
I'd like it to just stay where it is. That's my wish!
Hi all, I am a new member and need some help. I have installed GBPVR on a new system and cannot get any sound on live tv. DVD sound works when playing in GBPVR. Win xp fully updated, sp3 etc. Nova t500, asus en9400 silent, m2n68-vm mobo, amd 5000+. I have tried all sorts of combinations in the Config menu for Audio decoders etc. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I have used the generally excellent NMT installer to revive the GBPVR connection with my computer after I installed a hard drive into the NMT (A PCH-A110). After weeding out firwall problems, much is working fine now. But I am having a problem with the Mayhem3 screen (and in fact, also any screen that I select) extending beyond the width of my poor old 4:3 tube screen. I did select the 480 screen resolution option with the installer. After installation, I have also made sure that the GBPVR playback config still calls out a 4x3 shape (and it does). I have cleared any cache (i think) by pressing Filemode on the NMT's remote. I have tried all four of the NMT's screen settings (Fit to Screen, Fullsize, Crop, Actual Size) (NTSC setting with no framerate synching) with no change.
I use the composite output of the NMT which runs to my Home Theater's Preamp/Processor video input. From there, the composite video output of the Preamp/Processor runs to the composite input of my old Sony 4:3 tube television.
I've noticed that my old media directories no longer work. I can only access the ones that are local to the machine which is running gppvr. Is there a different way to set these?
I have read with interest the following thread about the timing of comskip and .ts files and the understandable difficulties of getting gbpvr to playback .ts files and matching up with the comskip edl:
Because of a need to stream to a client machine and poor performance with ATI and numerous cyberlink muxes, I really like using the TS mux.
As part of my postprocessing.bat I do convert the .ts to .mpg using ffmpeg (with the -vcodec copy and -acodec copy - ie basic stream copy), then I run comskip on the converted .mpg.
I still notice the same commercial timing issues when the .mpg is played back with GBPVR as per the .ts as mentioned in the above thread. Unfortunately I don't really understand the ts/mpg format details so maybe this is expected.
Are there any suggestions on what I can do as part of the mpg conversion process such that generated .mpg will avoid the issues seen with the .ts and commercial timing.
Or any other suggestions whilst still using the TS mux?
I'd like to see the SMS 'jump to items' feature in the standard GB-PVR lists. With a lot of music files the Music Library is very cumbersome unless you can hit 333 (3 = def key) to get to Feeder for example.
In what forum would it be appropriate to list GBPVR-related equipment for sale?
I have:
3 MVPs (1 shrinkwrapped, 1 open but unused, 1 gently used)
various Hauppauge tuner cards (PVR150 and 500) -- still very useful for people with cable connections!
