I've bought a new DVB-T USB device which seems not supported by default in GBPVR. The name for the DVB-T device is the Zolid Hybrid TV Stick but the real name is a Trident TVBox (according to Linux). With the following addition in the BDA.ini I managed to get it working (scanning and viewing):
Code:
[Zolid Hybrid TV Stick]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
FILTER_TUNER="Trident Analog plus Digital Video Device"
FILTER_CAPTURE="Trident Analog plus Digital Video Device"
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
It would be nice to have the current time displayed in all menu windows somewhere so that you can glance at it without having to be in just the right place.
I purchased a Popcorn Hour A-110 last week and was a bit disappointed with the interface and lack of basic functionality. I've had a look at GB-PVR and it looks great, and if I can get it to work, it will be exactly what I am looking for.
My question is this:
My media collection is stored on the HDD that is in my A-110. If I view media through GB-PVR, will it play directly from the HDD or will it stream via my PC where GB-PVE is installed? If the latter, then will there be a significant delay when watching divx movies and the like?
My current setup is as follows:
500gb HDD installed in the A-110
A-110 wired to my Netgear wireless router
PC connected wirelessly to router
PC maps drive m:\ to share on A-110 HDD
Hi
I have a humax PVR and I would like to watch things that I have previously recorded on my tv upstairs. So I am looking for some kind of wireless Tv link, but it must be compatible with the humax PVR and will I need a new remote control or can I just take the original one upstairs. The main reason I want this is to watch pre recorded programs, as I already have free view upstairs. Can anyone recommend what I am looking for.
I also have concerns it may interfer with my BT hub is this true or not?
Searched forums and wiki but couldn't find this answer. How do you control the aspect ratio with the mouse? The keyboard ( to use F7) is across the room and the PC doesn't have a remote, just a 62" screen and a mouse.
The Clear QAM channels have 6 different pixel resolutions and the HD ones work fine with auto aspect but the majority do not ( SCiFI channel in particular is 528x480 ) and are stretched. The Avermedia software does automatically display the various resolutions close enough to the correct aspect to watch but the rest of the software is too painful to use - hence GBPVR to the rescue.
For that matter how to you program a recording with the mouse? Works fine with the keyboard but can't figure out how to change the settings ( like channel or time) using the mouse. Maybe the answer is buy a remote but I already have 5 of them with this system, none of which are PC compatible.
Setup = AverMedia Volar Max, Dual AMD 3.1Ghz, ATI HD3200 DVI display,62" screen ( no digital tuner). GBPVR witn VMR9 installed without too much problem - did get stuck on how to scan channels because the getting started guide did not mention you have to add at least one channel before you can do a scan.
I have web streams working fine with a few of my favorite stations buut I am having a problem with one. The station is http://www.big106.com. I am able to find the stream using url sniffer 2 but the stream seems to change periodically. It will work for an hour or two but when I go back to it the stream seems to change.
Can someone take a look at it and help me solve this situation?
I figure there is a bit of buzz over the new MediaMVP-HD that sub linked to today and just wanted to say I have no idea what the impact on GBPVR is yet, if mvpmcx2 is still relevant etc, etc. Syabas has hinted at a new player in Q1 too and it like the Hauppauge player is expected to be based on a newer Sigma chip (I would have guessed the SMP8642 and not SMP8654 like the MVPHD) with newer Sigma libraries than any current player. mvpmcx2 definitely will not run on either of these.
On the NMT front although no price is given this device http://www.egreatusa.com/wdhdtvmeplki.html is interesting simply because it is advertised as an NMT at the price of a WD HD.
Got my basics working OK, but now I want to get rid of some remotes!
I have a Sony LCD, Sky STB, MediaMVP, and Philips audio amp.
Which is the better strategy, a universal remote (and which one) or an IR receiver/blaster arrangement?
From what I've seen on the threads, a universal (like Harmony?) might allow me to configure it to run each device so I get down to 1 remote, but GBPVR won't be able to "change the channel" on the STB before recording (is that really reliable?).
The IR blaster would allow me (and GBPVR) to control the STB, but wouldn't allow me to control the other devices (or can you get multiple blasters?).
So I'm leaning towards a universal remote because my wife dislikes all the remotes lying around because she doesn't know which remote to use in what order (and I can't blame her)!
I've just got meself a BluRay drive (LiteOn External USB reader). And have been thinking that when I start getting some disks I should rip them to the server, and maybe convert them to MKVs.
I've found a couple of free programs DVDFab HD and I think another one. But the most popular one seems to be that AnyDVDHD. Is it any good? and is it work the $79 EUR for a 2 year subscription (what's up with that pricing model???)
Sub or anyone else I have been tring to get GBPVR to work with Emubox plugin but can't seem to do it. I thought it must be something I was doing or not doing. Emubox shows in Mdapi as a loaded module but no communication between it and cccam on virtual machine. Everntually after exhausting all possible angles I loaded dvbviewer and hey presto worked first time. I don't understand why GBPVR wont work, Emubox has support for Mdapi and other apps which use Mdapi work so why won't gbpvr. I love GBPVR and wou,d hate to have to move away from it. Please help.....TCM
