I am putting together a GBPVR client and although my dev PC can watch in client mode the new PC client cannot.
I suspect this is to do with the codecs whats actually on their and the order.
I was hoping some kind soul would give me a clue as to which codec pack(s) I should load and in which order to get the PC client working with both audio and video.

Thanks

I am having problems again with the timeline on 90% of my DVB-T recordings. When playing back recordings the start and end time of the recording will wildly jump all over the place and increase rapidly. Eventually skipping through adverts becomes impossible as it either jumps too far and when pressing the skip back button it will skip ahead instead and sometime it will only skip a few frames ahead at a time.

When this release of GBPVR came out I had an issue very similar to this which Sub fixed with a patch. This has started to happen again just recently. I have not changed anything.

I did try changing sync audio reference clock to true to see if that would help, but it hasnt.

Is there any other software out there that is similar to TSReader? Just curious.

hi all,

first of - thanks to sub and other plug-in developers for this most awesome HTPC software.

i live in northeast USA, cablevision is my Cable provider, and i need help in selecting a clearQAM (don't care about analog) card.

I recenlty purchased the hauppague PVR-1250 but it hangs my machine. Someone else with an ASUS MA378 motherboard said the same thing on another forum.

One possiblity is the ATI 650, since I read that someone was able to get this to work, but this is a bit expensive. My endstate is to use the Hauppauge HD-PVR 1212 after I get everything setup. And, I would not mind having two tuners (one through the internal PCI or USB, and the other would be the HD-PVR.

Any other QAM cards can you guys recommend. I'm trying to keep the price down around $50 US.

thanks in advance.

Hey folks,

For the past few months, I've been using my WinTV-PVR-USB2 with GBPVR. I dont have a cable box, and actually I wasnt 100% sure what service was coming through the line, because I wasnt a subscriber as there was a good line that worked from the last resident of my apartment. Regardless, the WinTV was able to pick up a good number of the basic channels, so I was fairly happy.

I guess the cable co finally figured out their mistake as I lost all service. Every channel.

I want to try to use a Slingbox to stream TV from my parent's house to mine. They have digital cable and use a HD-DVR STB. I guess what Im confused about is, what will happen if move my WinTV setup to this line? I know that this tuner only supports analog, so would I get any channels? Would I be better off with another tuner card? Recommendations are appreciated.

Thanks!

Coming from linux I often find myself wishing I could log-in to my machine and mess with it while my family is watching something. Apparently Windows Server allows this and you can enable it on XP and Vista. I haven't tried this yet, but here's a link to a good walkthrough:

Once I try it I will update this thread, if anyone else has experience with this let us know.

I've been thinking about Auntie's DRM issues and also about some of the crap I read in this forum about how you "need to have a TV licence" to watch it.

Lets deal with the "licence" bit first. Utter crap! Total and utter crap in fact. The TV Licence is not a tax by and for the BBC. It's a tax allowing you the priviledge of watching TV in the UK. If you atch TV via your cell phone you need a licence. If you watch TV over the Internet you need a licence. If you watch TV in any form over any media you need a licence. This is the law. Anyone whom has been prosecuted for not having a TV licence (as I have more than once) will be in full affirmation of my comments.

Aunty is not restricting her services to licence payers. She's restricting it to the UK market so that she can earn more revenue in other markets with her programming. For example, we get to see Top Gear here in the US about 6 weeks after it airs in the UK. We have to pay to see it. The same is true in other markets where providers offer their programming to other outlets.

OK, enough ranting. Now onto my question/idea;

Could the iPlayer plugin be instructed to use a proxy server? This way one could watch UK content if the proxy was in the UK. The server uses IP geolocation as part of its DRM mechanism. As most users would have a 192.168.x.x address via a router the only place it could be done would be at the server end.

First I’d like to start off by saying that I think that GBPVR is great PVR program. It’s taken me a while to get everything to work and it’s been a learning experience. Thank You SUB and all others that have contributed to this application.

That being said, I have a problem that I’ve scoured this forum for and haven’t found the answer to yet. I’m sure it’s here somewhere unless my issue is unique, which is possible.

Here’s the problem……..I open PVRX2 to either schedule or manual record a program (doesn’t matter which). All goes well, starts on time, wakes the computer if in standby and records the program, great so far.

Now comes the problem, when I open the PVRX2 app. either during or after the recording process is completed, the CPU usage goes up to 98-100%, eventually PVRX2 will open but takes several minutes to do so. CPU usage will stay at 98-100% until I open Task Manager and stop the process PVRX2. If at this point I try to open PVRX2 again the same thing happens 98-100% CPU usage. The only way I can get everything working properly is to run a bat file I’ve set up to stop and restart the GB-PVR Recording Service, which are just net stop/start commands. After I run the bat file all is well and PVRX2 and CPU play nice again. Obviously it’s next to impossible or impossible to open PVRX2 to cancel a recording in progress while the CPU is in this state.

I can’t say with any certainty when this started because it used to work fine. I kept thinking it would be fixed in the next release of software I guess. I think it was about the time GBPVR was phased out and PVRX2 became the application.

I have purged all the logs before starting the above process and have attached them to this plea for help………..Thank You in advance.

Media portal is buggy as hell even the v1.00 release. GBPVR is much, much better of course... but there is one thing in media portal that works really well. To fast forward with a remote control in media portal is really easy. You can press the fast forward button multiple times and on the screen it displays +5 sec, +30 sec, +3 min, etc, depending on how many times you press it. After you stop pressing fast forward it waits a couple of seconds and then jumps ahead the time that you specified.

Sounds like somthing that could be easily integrated into GBPVR (but then again I'm no developer). The steps should be fully configurable like they are in media portal. What do people think does this sound like a good idea?

I have tried installing the Iplayer per the instructions on the wiki.

The install over writes the skin2 and plugins directory. When I restart config the program crashes.

Have I misunderstood the installation instructions ???
