Hi,
I'm doing a fresh install of windows on my HTPC, but I would prefer not to use the CS4 pre relase just yet. I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of the last version of CS3 and the appropriate skin plugin if possible?
So I solved my audio issue by uninstalling the Purevideo stuff and installed mpv/mpa decoders. This solved audio but I am back to video issues.
The video quality is the problem. Where a solid color should be, it is very "blotchy"; off color in swirls. I figured it was a compression issue but I ran a test outside of gbpvr where I run video in IE via Netflix. I have the same issue. This means it is not a encoding or source issue. It is either graphics (Nvidia GF6800) or decoding.
I suspect decoding since that is only thing that has changed on my system (had to reinstall WIndows XP).
Ideas? Where next? (I did search these forums but it is hard to nail down the right search terms without getting way too many posts....)
I'm unfortunate enough to own the above DVB-T stick and want to use it through GB-PVR which looks far more capable than the pee-poor excuse of bundled software Presto PVR.
But, like others before, I'm having problems getting GBPVR to work with it. I've read all I can on this forum regarding this tuner and tried all the suggestions but am getting nowhere fast and wasting time.
Basically, I know the tuner is working and reception is good as I get over 60 channels using Presto software.
I can (sometimes) get a successful channel scan and EPG using GBPVR config but when I try to view LiveTV it comes up with No Signal - check aerial strength.
As I say, GBPVR looks like the sort of software I'd enjoy using but I've lost confidence in it now and even if I can get it working in LiveTV I'm a bit miffed why it can only detect 57 channels.
Can anyone solve this problem for me or shall I give up?
p.s. I forgot to add, scanning for EPG data after scanning for channels invariably results in the program crashing.
I've got some white flashing lines at the top of some (not all) of my digital channels (OTA), but never the analog OTA channels. Attached is a screenshot that shows a single frame - you can see faded white lines at the top. They are much more noticeable when they are moving around at the top of the image, sort of like visual noise.
Is this my hardware? I don't think it's software (GBPVR), as I am pretty sure this showed up in media center as well.
I just upgraded my install from 1.3.7 to 1.3.11 and now my MVPs do not work. When they boot up they can't find a streaming server. Before the upgrade they were working properly. Logs are attached and here are some things I tried already:
1. Disabled firewall on client machines.
2. Verified DHCP is working properly on LAN.
3. Restarted computer and MVPs several times.
Now I did install VMWare server on my machine a few weeks ago and everything has been working fine since then. I read in another post that the functionality for the MVPs could be binding to another adapter. VMWare installed two additional adapters so I deleted them (did not need them anyhow) but that did not help.
I bought a new mce remot for my client PC. Most things work but the ff and rw buttons do not resond as well as the back button which is the esc keyboard cmd. These buttons will work for the server reciver but not on the client. Is there a microsoft update or setting that needs to be made for these buttons to work?
So, using the default TV guide that installs with GBPVR, when I click on a show in the listings, instead of tuning to that show immediately, as I am used to with a commercial DVR I have, it brings up a menu, and I then have to go click "watch". Can I get it to just default to tuning to the show directly upon clicking on it from the guide? Or, if not, does someone know if one of the other guide plugins might behave this way?
My preferred operation would be a single click on a show would highlight the show, enabling a right-click (or 'i' button on remote) to bring up options or show information, and a double-click would immediately tune to the show.
I am having problems with gaps (no data available) in my TV listings. I look at the xml file and it looks like everything is there, but the shows are always in the correct order. For example, the first show in the list on a particular channel is actually for a week in the future. Then it will start with the shows in order from now until the end of the schedule. In TV listings, it shows no data available until the first show in the list, then has the shows that are on after that. Is this normal for GBPVR? Do the listings in the xml file for each channel need to be in chronilogical order? XML file attached with some channels removed for file size.
During this stage I invite new users and Ultra version1 users alike to start using Version 2. I want it to be as painless as possible to install, so if you're having any trouble with the install, I want to jump all over that...
If you've used Ultra Version 1, you will probably want to backup or delete your Version 1 folder. I strongly suggest installing Version 2 into its own empty folder.
Version 2 is a complete rewrite of UltraXMLTV Enhancer version 1. It is written in VB .net.
Version 2 is faster and more efficient in its online web queries for Season/Episode number searches. (Though the very first time using it, Ultra will take some time as it downloads and fills a brand new cache...
Almost all of the features Version 1 had, are now replicated, if not, improved. If there is something that I missed, that you rely on, let me know... Other requests will be worked on in further releases.
Much of the instructions for installation and initial use are complete on the new wiki page. But I will also be using this time to add more information, to answer many of the questions that new users may have; questions I hadn't foreseen...
