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.
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)...
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?
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.
to install go to the skins2 directory and choose your skin version (sd or hd) and enter that directory and locate the "Video Library" folder and open the skins.xml file and replace the text. backup up your file before making and changes so you can just copy over the file to revert back.
Good luck and I hope this makes your movie experience a bit better.
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?
