hello,
i used to use VDR on linux. it was easy to watch a channel via an url (i.e. http://myvideoserver/23) for channel 23.
is there someting similar in gb-pvr? especially a live streaming of the raw video? (no realtime encoding please)...

thanks

My local transmitter (rowridge) has moved the muxes around today and I turns out my ariel is mis-alligned because about half the muxes are now unrecievable.

I need to get up the ladder and play point-the-ariel. I was wodnering, anyone know of a piece of software which would tell me to signal strength? I'm thinking if I set this software to one of the weaker frequencies, and have someone watching this screen while I'm 'up ladder it might speed things up a little. Before I just used Ctl-O (or whatever it was) in GBPVR but since GBPVR can't at present pick up the muxes again I can't use it. Any ideas?

Hi!

I been going crazy trying to figure out how to make text smaller in the slick skin so that I can view long movie descriptions...




I gave up and then realized the filmstrip view is perfect for what I was after but it did not use any of the metadata for the slick skin so in the last hour I decided to try to figure out what kinda code is used for the skins and placements and through trial and error I taught myself how to do it and I have enhanced your Filmstrip view with movie info



This works better for me since it also has the Delete file features and shuffle so it makes it the easiest to find a movie with the wife since they are not in order so we can stumble on that one we are in the mood for....

I turned off "auto create directories during recording" in pvrx2 so that all my new recordings are in one directory so this makes it the easiest to go through movie files.

Here is the code I used in case you guys want to try it or add it to community skin.

I removed the list and icon views as they clashed.

I love the new skin you guys have made and it is really spectacular.

Well done guys!

I got a couple general questions regarding different options in BDA Multiplexer. I'm using QAM from cable in US.

1. I can see closed caption with either "ATI mpeg" or "Microsoft DVR-MS", but not "TS MUX". Is this expected or I did something wrong.

2. Reason I want to use "TS MUX" is multirecord checkbox grayed out if I pick any other choices, so I assume if I want multirecord, I have to use "TS MUX". Am I correct here?

3. I believe the "full ts" option means I can record all subchannels on a certain frequency. Question is how do I view them, do I have to manually use something like ffmpeg to extract separate channels or GB-PVR can do it automatically somehow?

Thanks for you help.

Anyone else notice that the line between the first and second channel program guide is missing/very faint compared to the others?

There are no errors showing in the logs but I did get a Dr Watson error 4097 -

I would like to anticipate changes in the future and invest in a card that I can use if I change service and/or PVR software. No particular budget but nothing over $250.

Which capture card would you recommend?


Current Need:
Sonicview 1000 on DTV

Future:
If Charlie turns the lights off for good (yep, news is out) then I have to consider other options such as Cable or Fios.

Or if I plan to switch over to SageTV later on. I pretty much settle between the SageTV or GBPVR as my product of choice.

If I can avoid the USBIRT setup then that's even better. But from what I read so far, I will need this for the Sonicview remote to work.

Do even we need analog support nowadays?

I use GB-PVR v 1.3.11 with Config -- Directories -- Recording Directory set to use a 500GB external USB drive.

When the external USB drive is not ON (not powered up) and thus not available, can GB-PVR still execute pending recordings? Is there a default alternative recording directory used, perhaps on C:\ drive somewhere within the program's directory?

I searched but did not find an answer so I set Config -- Directories -- Recording Directory back to use a C:\<directory> location and will have to frequently move recordings from C: to the external USB drive.

Any opinions?

Hey,

I have 2 STBs hooked up to an HVR-2250 Dual Tuner Card.

I am connecting both STBs by S-Video (and L/R audio). Everything works pretty well until I navigate to an HD channel on my Comcast box. It will work for a little while, then the audio will start stuttering.

I haven't really had much problems with video after installing the NVidia Pure Video Decoder, but I haven't been able to get the audio to work exactly right yet.

I have tried a ton of different audio encoders (NVIdia, DScaler5, MPA, Intervideo,Mpeg, System Default, FFDshow, etc.), and haven't been able to find one that works perfect on all types of programming.

Any suggestions? Maybe an audio decoder that I haven't tried? Anyone know the best audio decoder to pair up with the NVidia Pure Video Decoder? I'm pretty intent on keeping the video decoder the same.

Thar's all it does, then reboots. If I disable the plugin it works just fine. So wtf?! I followed the instructions exactly. The only part I am unsure of is the skins part. What skins? Where are the netflix skins?

Ok, found the skins...my unzip didn;t extract them. but I still have the same issue...GUI server not found.
