In the GB-PVR listings, some of the titles seem to wrap around on themselves, or maybe it isn't updating when I scroll horizontally? See the attached. Let me know if you've seen it before. It goes away if I click on it once. But, if I scroll over to new times, or down to different channels, it may show up in other places.
I am using mc2xml for my guide info. When it updated after the presidential address got added to the schedual it did not update on any channel that had a recording in that time slot.
Any recs would be greatly appreciated.
Looking for PCI-Express and a s-output or composite or TV out so I can hook it up to my TV. Also can work with a 320w power supply.
when recording kings. heroes ,and when playing back show goes from file to tiny with checkered color boxed borders have tried diffident video decoders and renders still the same results have done screen capture jpg
I tried it out for my Hauppauge 45 button Remote that runs my HVR-1600.
Scroll down on the first post until you read about "Using keyboard to control Netflix Control without EventGhost:"
EDIT: I used netflix_control_v2_test3.zip on page 3, post 44 of the link above (v0.9 on the first post would not take advantage of skip for programs with multiple episodes), modified my IRRemote.ini file in the two places it said, and added Netflix_Control.exe to startup folder to start on boot. Whala!
Also be aware to fast forward or rewind, you need to hold down the FF or RW buttons on the remote, it has a slight time delay for it to work.
EDIT: I also changed the Windowfocus in the settings.ini file located with the netflixcontrol files directory from SageTV to PVRX2.
Not GB-PVR related but as there was a YouTube plugin briefly in an older version, I thought I'd ask here...
What would I use to download a YouTube video?
I just went to look at a YouTube video that a friend of mine was involved with and it appears that WMG (Warner Music Group) are doing some sort of fascist legal thing with YouTube and the soundtrack has been cut.
The video itself was privately written, filmed, directed, edited and is a 14 minute comedy and the only thing I can think is that the last 30-45 seconds while the credits are running uses 'Joy To The World' aka 'Jeremiah was a Bullfrog' as a backing. For that, WMG forced YouTube to pull the plug on the entire 14min soundtrack??? :mad:
If the sound has simply been disabled for playback then I'd like to download a copy to keep. Sheesh - it's not as if these guys made any money out of it - they even had to borrow the shovels to bury the body in the final scene.
Recently I had to upgrade my system to continue using xmltv (0.5.55) using the Radio Times data and GBPVR (1.3.11) - it was two years since my previous update - if it aint broke dont fix it.
Mostly it all works but for the first time I have noticed that gbpvr stops importing the listing information when it comes across a £ symbol in the description (it also stoped when trying to put in the degree's symbol a couple of weeks ago). If I take out the rogue symbols from the listing.xml file and update the EPG all is well.
Is anyone else having this problem? -is there a easy fix
I know I should be able to do this but I just can't get it to work. I record shows with a Hauppauge 1600 card so the files are ts format. What I want to do is is remove the commercials and transcode to mp4 format to load onto my Iphone to watch without the commercials. Comskip works fine to mark the commercials but comclean won't remove them. I would like to automate as much as I can so that I can go to bed and have it ready in the morning.
Hi all,
I believe I have solved my own problem but wanted to share this information and ask a follow up question. I have a machine running windows XP (32-bit) with 4 gigs of memory and 2 hard drives.
So I finally got the setup working great and then decided to improve perfection by turning on power management. In the power options I had the hard drives set to go to sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity, assuming that playback of the large, HD video files would be enough to keep them running. Well I was wrong! It seems that due to the large amount of ram in the machine the video playback was being cached into main memory and not reading from the disks. So about 15 minutes into the show I would see playback freeze (while the hard disk would spin up) and then randomly jump forward in time. At this point the playback would be out of sync with respect to the timeline shown by the UI.
When this first started happening (being that I made several changes at once) I was unsure of the root cause, so I tried different codecs, different mux options, different skins, different everything! In the end I upped the sleep timeout on my hard drive to 60 minutes and the issue goes away!
So here is my question, is there a way to have a low timeout on the sleep timer and not have this issue happen? Being that the computer is running 24/7 (well when it is not sleeping ) I want to try to make it as power efficient as possible.
