I want to run 2 instances of IR Server. I have 2 STBs that I want to control and the only way it seems that I can accomplish this, is if I have 2 different instances of IR Server running.
Anyone know how to do this or know how to modify the .IR file so I can include IR Commands to both ports (IR Blasters)?
Hey JavaWiz, would you mind adding some command line compatability to your WizMetaDataGrabber?
Something that I can start the grabber from a scheduled task, and the window wont pop up and minimize my PVRX2? It should only update files that have not had meta data retrieved (the ones without checks?)... Here are some of the switches I was thinking of:
I have GBPVR running on PC1 and I also have PC2 on my network.
PC2 has two drives on it (Drive K and drive L) that I have always been able to access from GBPVR.
Since installing v1.3.11 (although this may be unrelated) I can still access Drive K but am unable to access Drive L from the Video Library menu. When I click on it, it just returns to the main menu.
I can access both Drive K and Drive L via Windows from PC 1 (the server PC).
GBPVR is logged on as a User account.
Drive L on PC 2 is shared with full access privileges.
I can add a subfolder of Drive L in config and GBPVR is able to access it.
I have tried removing the share and reapplying it, changing the User account and deleteing the 'Directory' in config and adding it again.
Although this is not causing horrendous problems it is an annoying quirk and any suggestions would be apprecaited.
everything works fine, but i have only one problem - when i'm watching tv and changing the channels - everyhting works fine, but when i'm setting up a recording, when the recording starts i can see the irblaster blinks 3 times, but it's not affecting the sattelite reciever.
what can be the problem? it's not something in the irblaster configuration, because when i'm changing the channels while watching tv it works.
and one more question - hauupauge tweaker won't work in win7. is there any other way to change brightness, contrast, etc...?
I thought my earlier problems were just a glitch as I had the client setup downstairs in my test bench and things seemed to be working lately, but I installed the client upstairs in the entertainment center so of course things have to get funky . . .
My daughter went to schedule a program to record and all went well until she hit the record button - then the machine froze up. she came and got me and sure enough it was froze up. I rebooted the machine and it booted up fine but when I went load PVRX2 it would give an hour glass and never load. Since it was in the entertainment center I didn't have a mouse or keyboard so I pulled it back out and took it back downstairs (I have the green Windows button on the remote programmed to load GBPVR so I can load it without a keyboard). Once downstairs I got the same problem. The machine wasn't locked up as I could call up task manager and stop PVRX2 when it stuck at the hour glass. I pulled up the config program and unchecked the client box in the tuner setup and then I could pull up GBPVR. I then wondered if it were a server problem.
I checked the server, it wasn't locked up or anything and would do anything I requested of it. None the less it wasn't recording anything so it wouldn't hurt to reboot so I rebooted it.
That fixed the problem and I could get the client to pull up after that. The show my daughter was trying to set a recording up for was also listed in the pending que.
OK, a few test runs and it seemed to be all good so I installed it back upstairs.
I then decided to try a recording scheduled from the client to see what would happen.
I scheduled Friends on channel 4 at 5 pm and it set the recording up just fine and showed it in the pending que.
At a little after 5 pm I checked to see if the show were recording and it wasn't. Hmmm, it showed up in the pending que as pending.
I went downstairs and checked the server and it showed the same thing. I exited the program and pulled up the GBPVR Tray and it said all the tuners were sleeping.
I then went back into GBPVR on the server and then checked to see if maybe reloading the program did something - it didn't, it was still showing the show as pending.
I then went to LiveTV just to check and see if the tuners were working. They were and I saw LiveTV, changed a channel, etc..
After that I went back to the pending que and the program was now recording! Both the server and client showed it recording and when it completed I checked and it had not been recording the first ten minutes as the recording was only 20 minutes long.
It seems recordings setup up from the client wont wake up the tuners unless they are woke up for LiveTV viewing on the server.
Attached are the server logs. I don't have the client logs as I forgot to share that directory so I can't pull them up through the network right now. The wife and kids are watching the client right now so I can't go pull it, but I will either later tonight or tomorrow afternoon and get the network setup so I can access the client fully.
I have GB-PVR configured, and video works, I can flick through channels and its all fine, but I get no sound on any of the channels. I'm from NZ and I'm using the Digital Tuner for the Freeview channels.
Originally I just had the Hauppauge drivers installed and then I installed GB-PVR, but I would get no video or sound. Then I installed CyberLink PowerCinema 5 and then I had some more decoders available in GB-PVR config which got me video - but I still have no sound.
I'm running Vista x64 Ultimate.
I've attached my filtercheck.log file in case it is a filter issue. I'm not sure what logs you want from /logs/ .
I have an HVR-950Q, I am using Zap2It xml.
1) I click digital recording plugin then select settings
2) I select Hauppauge HVR-950Q then select OK
3) I select XMLTV Plugin then settings
4) Select zap2it xml then ok
5) select update epg which tells me to save epg and i click ok
6) Channels load up
7) Click Map digitial channels to epg channels
8) No channels found
I have no clue what is the issue? WinTV, MediaPortal, MMC they all find channels but GBPVR doesn't....what am I doing wrong?
What is this used for? Is the TS (I guess that's Time Shifting?)
When I watch live TV - the recording status shows that it is recording - but when I look at the Live TV buffer directory - it is empty (always). I did verify that the directory exists and that it is set up in config.
Can someone explain what this is for and maybe give me some insight into TS?
Now that I have GBPVR set up and working, I would like to try using the network features to play back recorded material. My question is - does the 'client' need to have a TV Capture card installed?
Also - I have an old Win-TV GO card - it doesn't have on board MPEG compression so I know I cant use it to record - BUT - could I use it to simply watch live TV on my 'client' PC - and still use the EPG program guide?
