Does the latest version already includes some supported plugins?
I was told that it for example includes the Videos Library Plugin, don't want to install things that are already incorporated, however it won't make any harm, right?
I have been already testing a lot of htpc software and would like to use a client/server software that is stable enough to do the following:
Server:
- dvb-t and dvb-s2 channels (using firedtv dvb-t via firewire receiving digitenne package in the Netherlands and using technotrend s2-3600 dvb-s2 receiving Hispasat)
- movies (most of formats)
- music (from Synology NAS)
- photos (from Synology NAS)
- radio like above from terrestrial and satellite
Hardware used:
- WIN7 RC with 4 GB RAM
- HTPC=MAC MINI 1.83 GHz intel core 2 duo
Client:
- Bedroom with LCD and EEEBOX B202
- OS: WINXP HOME Edition with 1 GB RAM
- CPU: 1.6 GHz (Atom processor)
I have been using a lot MACOSX software like Frontrow/Plex together with Remote Buddy but because of the client/server environment I moved to WINDOWS platform using MediaPortal. This packages was giving me always bugs and so not too stable to be used as a htpc package.
The question is that I discovered your htpc software and would like to know if my Technotrend s2-3600 and firedtv is supported?
If yes I might SageTV a try Can you also describe why SageTV would be 'better' then for example other htpc software?
I have a few recordings that playback fine on my PC (H.264 recordings from HD-PVR), but the show length is displayed as roughly a quarter of the actuall length when I play it back on the PCH. Skipping is next to impossible in this case.
Do you want me to try to send you a video or something?
We are having an ongoing intermitent issue with Manual Recording of an Analogue Source, HVR-2200 PCI-E card, not producing an output file.
We are running version 1.3.11. Only one channel has been setup, 99, the Analogue (s-video) connector of the HVR-2200.
gbpvr is being run under Vista Business 32bit, that is fully updated. PC has 4GB of RAM and more than 100GB of free space on the HDD where the Manual Recording is supposed to be putting its output file. gbpvr is running with Admin Rights - User/exe has Full Control.
We find that after 3 or 4 reboots creation of the Output file restarts and we can record to our hearts content for several days and then it stops again.
Any assistance in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
i have a sound problem playing back some recorded tv, sound plays ok in high def surround sound but normal standard recordings get no sound, i have spdif out and have tried settings in fdd and have also tried ac3 to control depending on the setting it will play one but not the other but when i get it to play standard def and then try to play other videos i get a very heavy static noise? but when it is playing high def recordings everthing else is fine.
and there are no sound problems wathching live tv.
i have k-lite codec pack installed.
Can anyone help please?
ps. i can play back these recordings using media portal or vcl but not using gbpvr!
I would love to see a enhanced comskip-type app. which auto-mutes adverts during live TV. The adverts are already being marked so it appears logical (to a novice) that muting is another small step. It could go into a "press any key to unmute" type mode to avoid any untimely mistakes.
I have a problem with a Analog and a Digital Channel both having the same name in the guide. I use Schedule Direct and have removed and update the guide, but still no luck. The Analog channel is on 10 and the Digital is 115, but 115 is not added and if I add it it will give me no detail. I can map it to the channel 10 and get it working that way, but then don't have the analog channel. I tried to change the name to wgnamedt from wgname but still no go. Anyone have an ideal what I can do to get this on both. Thanks, Chris
Is there a configuration or method to force the video layout to look into the directory to grab the picture for the thumbnail.
I want to have my large inventory of videos by directories since there are some that have multiple files and subtitles and don't care even about the name which normally is very large for the screen.
Thanks
