sorry for posting this - i know others have posted issues about getting their client(s) to work but i don't understand why on a machine where gbpvr client was working - it no longer works. I get the stuttering effect on audio and video.
then i tried to uninstall and reinstall - now i can't even install gbpvr - get an error message "install finished prematurely due to an error."
even after reboots and cleaning the registry, i can't install gbpvr.
my other problem is, what is the best configuration for the client. which codecs have been known to work? i have ffdshow installed but no luck. over wireless, the video and audio stutter. over wired, the video stutters.
i've gotten no where with with a client to work and it is not like there's any CPU contention on the laptop or the media center.
please provide any help in getting a client to work.. WHat is the magic wand ?
Just thought I'd share this with other developers...
I decided to go over to VS2008 Express totally but I'm running short of disk space so thought I'd uninstall all previous VS versions. Before I did this, I mounted the VS2008 iso with Daemon Tools Lite as a virtual DVD just to check it and the Autorun setup displayed OK - I then closed it.
After the uninstallation of the various VS versions, however, when I tried the VS2008 iso again it complained it didn't know how to handle setup.hta. Sure enough, when I opened My Computer -> Folder Options -> File Types, there's no mention of an HTA file type. :confused:
I've managed to get the setup running by telling it to use mshta.exe but two attempts to create a permanent file association failed to 'stick'. Folder Options -> File Types still doesn't show an association for HTA. Nasty.
Last night I attempted to record two shows using the 1600 card. The analog tuner worked as it should and recorded and allowed me to view the recording, the digital tuner show caused GB to crash when I attempted to view the show while it was recording. Once the show was done recording, it still crashed GB when I attempted to watch it. However, windows Media Center, and Win media center classic played the file without a hitch.
I then recreated the problem this morning. Here is a time line
of what happened:
Set GBPVR to record ch 4.1 - GB crashed. I check to see what the tuner is doing, and it says it's still recording.
Then I reload GB and go to live tv and it claims that the only the digital tuner is recording, the analog tuner is not mentioned, I can't watch TV. What happened to my Analog tuner?
Then I go to TV guide - analog ch3, and it allows me to view the channel.
Record ch3, works great, rec and view while recording.
Check live tv, both tuners listed and in use.
Look in pending recordings, both rec shows listed.
Try to watch ch4.1 rec... and GB crashes again.
Made a log zip of PVRX2.exe-native.log and PVRX2.exe.log. I saved a copy of everything in the log dir, so if you need something else - let me know.
Just keep in mind that I did test this yesterday morning, both tuners recorded and allowed me to view the shows without a hitch. What changed?!?
Under the playback tab, using:
Vid renderer: EVR,
Mpeg video decoder: Intervideo Non CSS,
Everything else system default.
I have a subfolder (named "Extra") in GBpvr where I put odd stuff that I seldom use. But I can not open this folder in CS4 (or in CS3).
GBpvr fades a bit and stays like that. If I press "stop" it goes back to normal view and I can select any other list item.
As I wrote the above, I got an idea and copied another task image, named it "Extra.png" and now it works.
It seems like CS need to have a task image to work well....
Using the skip button in TV Guide jumps two days instead of one day. I am using a Microsoft MCE Remote 2005 (version 2). I am still using GPVR 1.2.9. Is there a way to fix this?
I now have my PS3 streaming shows from the PC to my big screen, but the interfaces for viewing the files (UPNP and some other things I have cobbled together) have a low WAF. All of the other TV's in the house have MVP's attached and that is the interface everyone is used to.
Since the MVP is just a Linux box (right?) and you can load Linux on a PS3, is there a way to have the dongle run the GBPVR interface on a PS3?
Iwas trying to install gbpvr on an XP computer (to use as pc client)
I get error "installation ended prematurely because of an error" when trying to install.
It looks like full installtion is done - a lot of files are in the created gbpvr directory - but in the end installtion roll backs and error message comes up.
What can be the reason?
I think there may have been an old installation where the folder was deleted instead of uninstall - can this be the proble - and if so what can I remove in registry or else here?
I have just come back to GBPVR after running MediaCenter for a 1,5 year.
Before I always used Xrecord since I like the way one can add info about the recording after it has been made in the .dat file
No when I start a recording from XGuide - no dat file is created - have I forgot something that need to be set?
(I found the to press ctrl S and choos Export all to create .dat on all recordings that still have data in GBPVR database - but is there a setting to always create the .dat file when recording starts?
another question - what was the difference between movies and videos?
Is there a way to clone the client install so that it can be copied on mulitple machines? This includes the directory configurations, skins and plugins.
