I tried all the other Hauppauge drivers and non of them work. I tried using the "only show devices detected on this machine" and that didn't work. The only HD model listed under "analog highdef recording plugin" is the Hauppauge WinTV HD-PVR.
Is there anything built in to the GB-PVR plugin framework that plugins can use to read/write settings into the config.xml file?
edit: kind of related, are there any docs (other then forum Q&A posts) on the GB-PVR plugin interfaces and how it all works, and recommendations for using things like GetImage callbacks etc?
gb-pvr starts from hd without problems (including wol by ether-wake which i added to the startmeup script). i'm using 1080p resolution over hdmi.
i can watch television (dvb-c/ts-mux) and recordings, both with superb quality and with working sound.
problem that i have now is that neither mp3's nor wma's produce sound when i use the gb-pvr music-apps (music library, music, music library 2 + 3).
playback from within pvrx2 from the gb-pvr server and the pc-client works.
playback from within pch-a110 and its internal hd works.
I have set my source up as a Nova S plus. Using Optus D1 (NZFTA), LNB 11300, switch 0 but this doesn't get the either the DVB EPG or any channels when it scans.
This is the right card and it works fine with Vista media centre on the same computer so no problems with card or signal and settings seem to be what people are using for Freeview on DVB-S for NZ.
here's a nice little util i whipped up to import single shows from video library..
for those times when you lose some data or want to re-import an old show info from archives..
only works for single files at a time, i have another one that can do a whole dir, contact me if you need it..
save this as "importxml.bat" and stick it in gbpvr\third party\
Code:
@echo off
if "%~1" == "" goto :eof
setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
set newpath=%~1
rem Un'rem' next line and adjust to alter path while importing,
rem replaces first [color=Blue]path[/color] with second [color=Red]path[/color] in filename..
rem set newpath=%newpath:[b][color=Blue]e:\mpg\[/color][/b]=[b][color=Red]\\pvr\e\mpg\[/color][/b]%
echo.
echo.
echo.
echo Original name: %~1
echo New path: %newpath%
echo.
echo. Generating Recording Import data for %~nx1 to -
echo. rec-dump.xml
echo.
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%e IN ("<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>") DO ECHO %%e > "%cd%\rec-dump.xml"
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%f IN ("<recordings>") DO ECHO %%f >> "%cd%\rec-dump.xml"
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%f IN (" <recording>") DO ECHO %%f >> "%cd%\rec-dump.xml"
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%f IN (" <filename>%newpath%</filename>") DO ECHO %%f >> "%cd%\rec-dump.xml"
FOR /F "usebackq tokens=* skip=3" %%I IN ("%~1:metadata.xml") DO (echo %%I >> "%cd%\rec-dump.xml")
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%l IN ("</recordings>") DO ECHO %%l >> "%cd%\rec-dump.xml"
type "%cd%\rec-dump.xml"
start /w "" "pvrx2.exe" -import:"%cd%\rec-dump.xml"
and add this to your config.xml under custom ffmpeg conversions
and you're all set...
adjust line near top to have it alter your filepath for network availability..
[not necessary tho, will keep original path as-is]
In the Pre-Release CS4 (HD), I'm seeing text wrapping in Music & Video Library when there are long file names. This destroys what is otherwise a great display layout.
Is there a way I can tweak the skin to truncate long file names and prevent the wrapping?
Regards,
Ray.
P.S. Couldn't post in the Pre-Release thread coz it's closed.
I have a long standing problem with recordings failing. It seems that the first dozen or so recordings work fine, then all subsequent recordings fail. A reboot will allow the next dozen or so recordings to work, then they start to fail again etc....
I've had the problem since I upgraded from 0.99 to 1.2.13. I recently upgraded to 1.3.11 in the hope that the problem may have been addressed, but I still have the same symptoms. It happened the first time with 1.3.11 tonight, so I have zipped and attached the logs. I've also included a jpg to show the times/names of failed recordings (and the last good one). I copied the logs after a reboot (which I did out of habit), so I'm not sure whether the useful log data would have been overwritten or not?
Any help would be much appreciated, as the recordings invariably fail when my wife wants to record somethings that she's really keen to watch - you can guess the rest!
I'm using a dual Nova T500 tuner card, by the way.
When I restart my pc, the recording status has started showing on the taskbar - it hasn't done this before. If I double click the recording status icon in the tray, it shows 'Capture Source #1' to 'Capture Source #8' which are all shown as 'Tuner1:'. I only have 2 Hauppauge WinTV Nova T 9000 (single DVB) tuners. Any ideas what is wrong?
With 4 DVB-t sources all with the same RF feed I would like to be able to setup a single tuner then hit a duplicate buton to copy the channel mapping settings to other capture sources....
or
Have a master tuner with other tuners assigned as slaves that always take the masters mappings.
