My Hauppauge 45 button silver remote has 5 extra buttons on the top; TV, Videos, Music, Pictures and Radio. Is it possible to map these keys to custom commands (or standard commands) so that hey go to the TV guide, video library, music library, picture library and DVB-T radio respectively?
I understand that the remote isn't a direct control, the software sends emulated key presses to GBPVR but could this be achieved with custom menu commands? How would I go about this?
I am having a problem getting to files on one the disks that I have: I am getting a zero length string error. I can configure it to read other disks OK, I can also get to a few of the directories on this disk that I tried. But when I point it to the whole drive, it give me 0 length error.
See attachments; error info and file list and .xml
I'm looking for some full 1080p (1920x1080) content to try and stress my new build a bit. I have found the MS HD Video Showcase but all the clips are a bit short. I need something longer, preferably in H.264. Any suggestions?
HIP can be set to use different key combos for buttons depending on the program.
I can set HIP to use the Pause and Record buttons to pause the game, storing the state, and to take screen shots or some other features.
I'll have to play with each program to see what's available... but has anybody else done this?
I'm really psyched about getting most of the emulators working with full screen on my box. I haven't set up the joystick settings for all of them, but I'm getting there. I just never got around to doing it all.
Last night I went home with worry on my brow, and fear in my gut. Videos that should be available were not. When I remoted into my box, I couldn't find my D: drive where they would be. My wife, who is finally going on her own to record shows says things aren't working!!!
I open the case, check the cables, and things seem secure. Actually, it doesn't reassure me like you'ld think. I'd love a simple solution like that.
I plug the box in and start 'er up. I try to get into the bios... but the USB wireless keyboard hasn't been recognized... can't do it... need a PS/2 keyboard.
As quick as I can I run to the basement, throw aside some projects I should have finished weeks ago, and blow the dust off an older keyboard. I come back up... but it's too late. I know the problem. I can hear it...
The sounds of a dieing hard drive, gasping for life, forcing it's platters to spin in a vain attempt to be recognized as useful... to no avail. After 3 minutes Windows gives up, and ignores my poor little friend as a rotten corpse and pretends it doesn't even exist.
I hang my head. I set the PS/2 keyboard down... it won't help me. I sit down to dinner.
'What's wrong hun?'
'We won't be recoding Idol tonight hun, we'll have to watch it or miss it.'
At least I have an excuse to get a 1TB drive. With a HARD DRIVE COOLER THIS TIME!!!
This plugin is so simple to install, comprising only 2 files, I can't believe why it won't work. The files are in the right locations & the plugin is seen & is enabled in the config manager but I can't see it on the main menu. I'm using GBPVR 1.3.11 & Shutdown 2.8. What have I missed?
Having just got an NVidia 8300 based mobo I'm reading about PureVideo which purportedly offers hardware assisted decoding on compatible GPU's. This sounds like a great bonus and according to WikiPedia the 8300 GPU is supported by PureVideo. However I have no idea if it's being used during playback.
The NVidia site about PureVideo offers products for sale in the US but points me towards PowerDVD in the UK, the site for which offers no references to PureVideo. There's an Nvidia PureVideo trial pack which gives me the NVidia Video Decoder and NVidia Audio Decoder, both of which seem to cause problems playing back DVD's (chop, audio issues, skipping).
Am I wasting my time here? Is my understanding of PureVideo broken? From reading the Wiki page it should just be part of the drivers for my GPU but how do I check if it's in use?
I have just installed GBPVR, I get sound no problems on movie playback through GBPVR, but cant get any sound on live TV.
I am able to get sound when running powercinema and all other apps just GBPVR live TV is an issue. I have tried all the codecs I have to no avail.
I am running vista 32
Any help appreciated. wife is mad cause criminal minds is on tommorow and mediaportal was fine (now uninstalled)...ooops
I am pretty sure I had sound on GBPVR until I uninstalled media portal..but I have had a hell of a night trying to sort it before the kids wake up and demand TV that I have no idea whether I am coming or going or I did or didnt
