I have a video that plays fine on other computers. When I try to view it on my GBPVR box I get audio only. I tried to open it w/ WMP to grab the missing codec, but WMP can't find or download the appropriate file.
Is there an easy way to tell what codec the video is requesting (and I am missing)?
Just got back to GBPVR after a year and a half hiatus from having a PVR machine. Am noticing slower movements as compared to before. The Wiki is outdated and I was wondering when it was last updated and whether it is still up to date to the latest version (1.3.11 as of this writing).
I've been playing around with the Windows 7 beta (x64) as a dress rehearsal for transitioning to a 64 bit OS. So far, so good. In fact, I'd buy Windows 7 right now if it was available.... it is that good.
GBPVR installs and runs perfectly from what I can tell. However, my Windows 7 machine is a client (the server is an XP machine) and I have yet to read up on the new networking procedure for Windows 7. Until I figure out how to make Windows 7 see XP shares and vice versa, the client can't see the server over the network yet.
But I did discover something very interesting.... although the XP server share isn't visible on the Windows 7 machine, the Windows 7 machine DID find all the GBPVR recordings on the XP server. They show up in a folder on the Windows 7 machine under my username called "Recorded TV". WMP plays them perfectly. But here's the interesting bit.... if I delete a recording from "Recorded TV" on the Windows 7 machine, it gets deleted from the XP machine as expected.... but it also no longer shows under "Recordings" in GBPVR on the XP machine. Does that mean that Windows 7 is manipulating the XP machine's GBPVR database or is GBPVR manipulating the database when it sees the file get deleted? I'm positive that the last time I deleted a recording from the GBPVR recordings share using Explorer on an XP client, the recording still showed up under "Recordings" in GBPVR until I also deleted it via GBPVR. ??
This is probably a dumb question hence I've not put it in the support forum, but to play .mkv files, do I need the haali splitter? Is there another way to get them to play? I removed it as it was giving grief for Bluray disk playback but now have some .mkv's I want to play, which GBPVR currently does nothing with. It'll be annoying if I can only have .mkv playback or sensible Bluray disk playback!
Does XRecord have an option for getting posters from the net like imdb for shows recorded? If not, what would be the next best plugin that would do this as Video Archive seems to be slowly moving towards being unsupported. This was what I used to use to get the posters and dvd archiving to GBPVR.
Hi. Is there an plugin wich will bring some recording notificator (like red/green ball) on desktop? I disabled on my HTPC taskbar, but i miss such notificator a lot.
Something like iMon have when recieved IR signal.
I'm a noob to the GB PVR software, so please forgive me for any dumb questions.
I am running the version number 1.3.11 in Windows XP Service pack 3 using an HVR-1250 Hauppauge card.
The problem I am running into is, when I try to watch any analog channels the screen will go black and them dump me back out to the guide information or the main menu, I am able to see all of my channels there with show information. I am able to watch HD (QAM) channels with out any issues. If I use the Tuner assistant that comes with the GB PVR software I can see the channels and the correct numbers but after going through that program and hitting ok on each channel, still no luck.
I have been struggling with this for a while, I can get the analog channels to work correctly in Win TV 6, but I would prefer to be able to watch both analog and HD (QAM) channels with out having to close one program and open another. I tried using the Divx, Intervideo and MPEG codecs and a combination of those with no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have attached all logs that I receive when I open the program and try to watch any analog channels.
Hi there, just found gbpvr and thought I would try it out.
So I downloaded the latest version 1.3.11 and installed it.
I then setup a Capture Source using Nebula DigiTV USB device which was detected on the machine.
I finally worked out how to down load my EPG data from IceTV, very easy!!! just place the web link into the file location and viola it downloads!!! (I felt foolish after having spent a bit of time trying to work out how to down load from IceTV using mc2xml etc)
Then I have clicked on the Map digital channels to EPG channels buttons and brought up the mapping screen and then while scanning got the attached .NET pop up.
I have tried using DVB EPG Broadcast & None as the EPG options and the same problem.
I have noticed that the scanning seems to continue behind the .NET window but no channels get listed.
I have checked that I have all the .NET updates from Microsoft. I am currently running Windows XP Pro SP3.
