For the past week or two I've suspected some shows weren't being recorded, and have now confirmed this to be true. I checked my logs and see this error for various failed recordings:
"ERROR [5] Error starting recording: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Length cannot be less than zero."
I have no idea what this means, so I am attaching my logs to see if you can determine the cause.
If I have a program scheduled to record every night, and then when resolving conflicts, cancel it, will that cancel the other (future) recordings of that program or just the conflicted one?
I have recently been tring to use GBPVR for the first time and am having an issues with liveTV.
If I try to watch Live TV using the VMR9 the picture is ok however sometimes it will shutter at ramdom times. I have tried a number of different decoders
Intervideo
MPV
Nvidia
FFdshow
MPV seems the best.
I notice that the CPU is running flat out (a P4 2ghz M processor, 1gb ram, 64mg intel video card, xp, laptop) so read that overlay using less processing.
If I swap to Overlay the system will continually stop and start the pvr daemon ever few seconds and it requires me to kill the process (nothing in the event viewer), I never get to see the picture or any sound. However if I uncheck "Use live preview mode where possible" the shutter stops completely but now it is recording the channel and wont let me change channels. Perhaps it is doing what it is suppose to....not sure.
I have already rollback to the previous version of quartz.dll 9.0B
I am very new at it and have been going around in circles a little I think.
Any help would be much appreciated. I am australia based if it is needed
So now that I have mapped the QAM channels on my HDHomeRun, I have run into a new problem. I can tune to any of the mapped digital channels, but if I go back to the TV Guide and then select any other digital channels I get an error message telling me there is no usable signal on that channel. If I exit the UI and relaunch it I can select any digital channel but again cannot change channels without getting the same error message.
For those who may remember me, I did get the parts to build my rig and it's up and running for the most part. Yah!
My question now is, how do I setup the analog part of the tuner in GBPVR to use a VCR? (What I am really after is being able to hook up a TR-40 Dish box, and sometimes switch to a VCR, but I thought that might be a bit confusing.)
I have managed to get the Hauppauge software to find ch3, but I am totally lost as to how to do the same in GBPVR. I have other questions, but that's the most pressing one at the moment.
I know I have asked this before, but I am really quite desperate: I want very much to simulate Slimm-GBPVR's "standby" function from a batch file. Every CLI I've used to enter standby either overrides Slimm's "delayed standby" trapping, or will not restart for recordings, or both. Slimm's works perfectly, but I have to do it manually with my mouse.
Come on, genius community...there's got to be a way.
I'm 90% sure that I've figured out why timeshift is stopping after 5 minutes, as well as Graphrecorder losing its abillity to cancel recordings. As usual, it's my fault.
I have a polling batch file that uses GBPVRcli to check for in-progress and pending recordings, and otherwise restarts the recording service. This is to help me manage my streaming stations from TVUPlayer and other sources. What I didn't realise is that GBPVRcli does not register a timeshifting station as an "inprogress" recording.
Is there any way to use the CLI to either check for recordings that are timeshifting, or check to see if the player is active?
For analog video, i use ffdshow to do a warped resize.. But for 1080i broadcasts, ffdshow can be a bit sluggish and id like to use a DXVA decoder like cyberlink. Could we have a feature to use a different decoder for digital mpeg2?
Hi,
I've been trying to get GBPVR running with the SoftwareRecording plugin for a while, but I can't get live TV (or recording for that matter) working.
The card, a Philips 7130-based card from STlab, is a bit old but perfectly functional, and I don't have any problems getting it to work with other applications.
Now obviously GBPVR isn't perfect for using software-based encoding, but my CPU should be more than fast anough, so this card'll do until I can be bothered to buy a new one.
GBPVR starts up fine, and I don't get any error messages. Video files play perfectly fine, with good performance. Web radio also works fine.
When I select LiveTV in the menu, the entire menu flashes one, and then returns. Then nothing.
There is no error message, and no indication of any problem apart from the video not showing up.
I am running GBPVR 1.3.11 and SoftwareRecorder 0.27. I wasn't sure which log files are relevant, so I attatched all of them in a zip.
Hoping the experience on the forum can guide me on this one...
GBPVR works just fine most of the time but on long (2-3+ hr) recordings the recording file is screwed up - this seeems to happen most but not all the time.
Symptoms include:
- recording duration shows as >24hrs in duration when playing it although the recording period was say 3 hrs (plus padding)
- playing the file through vlc shows the first 30 or so minutes are ok but it can't play the file beyond that.
- when trying to skip forward in playback within GBPVR it causes GBPVR to go unresponsive and sit there eating large amount of cpu.
Spec is GBPVR 1.3.11, Athalon X2, 4GB RAM, Nova-T500 dual tuner card , ATI Mux - not sure what else would be useful.
