I've been playing with MLPanel trying to figure out how incremental updates work...
Every 10 seconds, MLPanel displays a randomly located rectangle superimposed on a full screen black background. The second render doesn't clear the rectangle from the first, but subsequent renders clear the rectangle from the previous one.
Not sure if this is MVP related or not but for some odd reason, my USB-UIRT (with an emitter plugged into the mini jack) changes channels on my Now Broadband TV box just fine when using my PC, but doesn't change channels when I use the MVP. Remote works fine with the rest of GBPVR on the MVP.
Can you help point me in the right direction to troubleshoot this?
I have tried the various settings under USB-UIRT in the config setup to no avail. Logs should show PC first, then attempts with the MVP. It might be tryng to change, but doesn't actually do it. (except for FTA channels of course).
Relative newbie here -
Loving the promise of GBPVR, but getting a bit wound up by trying to get my Nebula USB card working & messing around with BDA & MUXs.
So, having discovered that GBPVR doesn't do radio recording anyway, I'm thinking of leaving the Nebula to record radio and buying a new card for GBPVR.
So recommendations please - I want:
DVB-T
2 Tuners
reliable good functioning with GBPVR
Ideally I'd like it to be USB as I may move my PVR server to a laptop at some point...
I've noticed a lot of people using the Nova-T 500 is that my best bet? Is there a USB alternative at a reasonable price?
Has anyone found a good free/low cost H.264 decoder other than ffdshow that works with gbpvr? I have ffdshow installed and it works ok, but sometimes displays a green/yellow vertical band in the middle of the video during playback of H.264 encoded files. I'm looking to try something else, unless someone knows of a fix for the corrupted playback.
The only H.264 decoder from the supported list on the wiki I could find is the MainConcept decoder which is $100.
Thanks!
On the System screen I have this pie chart indicating that I have no disk space. It is labeled Free Disk Space 0.00 GB, Total Disk Space 0.00 GB.
Of course I have plenty of disk space left, about 100 GB free of a 160 GB drive and the program has not had any problems running but the misleading screen bugs me.
Any ideas? Could it be because my copy of WME has a c:\Programs directory instead of c:\Program Files directory?
Quote:The VX855 MSP offers up hardware-based H.264 video acceleration in a staggeringly small, highly integrated single chip package with an ultra low TDP of 2.3 watts.
I've been using a Mini-ITX server for my Home-Automation system for about two years now and it is great. Powerful enough to run a Windows domain, mail server, SQL server, Web server as well as HA and consumes around 27W.
However, it can't cope with SD and definatley not HD but this new chip could be the answer. In addition if they add it to the Via Pico format factor it would be a very small and capable solution.
I recently purchased a VisionTek TV Wonder HD 650 PCI. I installed the card in my new system, booted to Windows 7 and installed the ATI Catalyst software (drivers and ATI-MediaCenter). Using the ATI Media Center I then tried scanning for channels. The results was either no channels detected or static with no sound. I tried scanning with the cable connected to both the ATSC and NTSC connectors. I repeated this using Windows Media Center with the same results. I am running on a dual boot system (Windows Vista and Windows7). My h/w config: I7-920 CPU, X-58 mainboard, 3 GB RAM, Radeon HD 4850 video, TV Wonder HD 650.
I have an XP system (PIII 933 MHZ, 512 RAM, Radeon 7500, ATI TV Wonder analog tuner). I have the most basic cable offered though Comcast (called Basic 1? - limited to mostly broadcast channels). On my XP system I have been recording TV programs off and on since 2004. The TV wonder card on my XP system uses the WDM Capture driver for the Bt8xx chipsets and sees the cable channel fine in WinDVR. Why doesn't my new card on my new system find any channels when scanned? I saw in another thread that the Vista drivers don't work. The suggestion in that thread was to use the XP drivers. I am assuming this is a driver issue. I am using these media center programs to check the cable signal before trying out GB-PVR. Can anyone advise?
I have Live Preview mode enabled on my Vista machine with single tuner. As soon as press 'record' I get a black screen. The navigation appears if I move the mouse about and the .TS stream is created fine in the temp directory.
Is this by design? Or should I be seeing the recorded stream playing back (which is what I would expect)? I have tried different video renderers and also different decoders and they all do the same thing.
I went from a Hauppage 350 to the 2250. Went from analog to digital. Now I am seeing that my recording size has ~900k for a 1/2 hr show to ~3.4gig. Previously you could choose a lower quality (smaller) file, is there a way that can be done with the digital? or is it again time to buy a bigger HD.
I'm pretty sure this was asked before, but I couldn't find the post, so it's probably been a while.
In both the Video Library and Music Library, I think the appearance would be enhanced by the ability to display filenames without the extension.
I only ask because I think it would be fairly easy to implement. It's been over a year sinced I've worked in .net, but I seem to remember (System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension) or something similar.
