Beside the MediaPC I have an old xbox running xbmc.
It would be great if the metadatagrabber could save an additional copy of the xml-file as .nfo as well (the content seems to be the same otherwise).
Then I can have the same info where the xbox is standing.
I have the latest SSE version of FFDShow installed, and I have selected the FFDshow filter under Live Preview Mode. Also, I have chosen "All Supported" in the codecs section in FFDShow VFW configuration.
The filter doesn't seem to be working. I can still see horizontal lines.
I'm interested in using this filter since the hardware does not deinterlace the RCA video input on the PVR150.
Are there any settings I need to adjust to get the best, or any, performance out of FFDShow?

I have about 8 DVB-T channels.
I can do season recordings on all but one channel (Cannot do season recordings on NBN Digital)
The events appear in recurring, but not pending; and in the TV guide view the item does not turn red.
No real idea why - best guess is that it could be because NBN uses [, @ and ] in program descriptions?
Any ideas? Have done a complete uninstall, erase, reinstall.
For those of you receiving OTA ATSC in So Cal, a new channel just went live. ThisTV is broadcasting on a sub-channel of KTLA-DT, virtual channel 5.2 (UHF 31).
Schedules Direct doesn't have listing for it on KTLADT2 yet, but a little quick research lead me to the Sacramento KQCA affiliate broadcasting ThisTV on their KQCADT2. This guide data will be correct, since there's only one ThisTV feed and it's in the same time zone. So I added a lineup for zip code 95814 on Schedules direct, and selected just KQCADT2.
In gb-pvr config I just updated my epg on both tuners to get the new channel into the list, temporarily edited my bda/atsc/all.ini to just include UHF 31 (so I wouldn't have to wait for a full channel scan), and quickly scanned and mapped in the new channel. Finally I assigned the new channel #6 (since nothing was using 6, and that puts it in my main channel group).
For those using MC2XML with the TitanTV service (-t), I didn't find a channel for ThisTV in either my zip or sacramento (they only had KQCADT1), so you'll have to look for another ThisTV affiliate in the pacific time zone, or switch to Schedules Direct (for ATSC, it really is better).
KTLA's web site still says they're in engineering testing on ThisTV with no firm launch date, but as of Thursday at 10pm or so it is live.
If you haven't heard about ThisTV yet, they show semi-modern classic films (Electra Glide in Blue was on when I noticed it was live, and now Midnight Cowboy is showing), padded with classic TV shows (I've noticed Patty Duke and Mister Ed in the guide so far), along with the mandatory E/I shows (Paddington Bear, Animal Crackers). It's all new stuff, even the E/I shows aren't the same as what the PBS affiliates show.
I've been searching this here and there and just can't quite get the answer, as the word metadata (at least on the net) seems ambiguous...
I'm finishing my Recordin Rename tool, and one of the last things I want to do is copy over the ADS meta data fro the recording... I could copy the meta data straight to the next file
For starters, It is NTFS, and the original file still has it's meta data, as viewed in the Video Library (after recording, the info is visible in Video Library)
I just bought an HVR-1600 with the impression that it could record actual transport stream (.ts) files. But when I record a QAM signal, it saves the program stream (.mpeg file).
Is there a way to record and save the actaul transport stream via WinTV or any other method.
I new to PCTV since I'm trying to save on my Satellite bill, u kno...the economy sucks right now.
Hauppage 4000 running DVB-T and DVB-S, ATI 3450 graphics, Intel Core2 E8400 3GHz and Vista. Display is primary HDMI at 1080i (so should have H.264 h/w assist)
All fine for SD, and CPU at a few %. However Freesat HD channels stutter about once per sec. CPU shows both cores at around 40%. All other resource usage is low.
Logs (attached) show the PowerDVD H.264 codec in use. I assume this is where all the CPU is going. The only options Config shows for H.264 codec are system default and PowerDVD. Should there be a separate codec for the ATI 3450 h/w assist?
I'm currently using overlay mode, but changing it doesn't help.
I can pick up all the channels on the exact same hardware using DVB web scheduler instead of GBPVR. So I know the hardware is ok. Any ideas? :confused:
Hi,
Recently something changed with the freeview/DVB-t transmitter on Rowridge and since then I've had to retune my digital TVs and this restored the channels.
However, I've come to do it on my GBPVR box and all of the channels are found, except BBC channels?
I can't believe it is the antenna as I've seen suggested elsewhere as it's a year old and has been working perfectly since, and still is with every other TV connected to it.
