So, I transcoded a .ts file into a .avi file, and full of hope that the renamed file system would also work for XRecord, I moved the .ts file out of the directory, leaving the file with the same name but ending in .avi in its place.
Restarted pvrx2, and sure enough, XRecord doesn't have that episode anymore.
Blech.
So, how do I rename a file and have XRecord not delete it from Ready?
(And if you can, can you also comment on the CDKScheduler/Multi-Record TS-MUX awareness, if any? Will CDKScheduler do the right thing in the case of multi-record?
If I was watching channel 016, but switched to 305, and then wanted to jump back to 016, is there a command that will do that? (Should be just a 'last channel' feature.)
Posted this at the end of another thread and got no resopnses so I thaught I'd try here. I currently have a pvr-150 with the hauppage remote. I have found I can get my hands on an hvr-1600 for a really good price. This would give me 3 Tuners, I will hook up the digital tuner to my STB and the two analog tuners up directly to the cable. (This should work, I think) My question is, will I need a second IR blaster and remote to controll the HVR-1600 or can I just use the one I have with my PVR-150 to do the job for all 3 tuners?

Just started using ts streaming to the client with the 'very beta' patch and noticed that while playing live TV the available system memory decreases at about 1meg/s.
I only found this out because I noticed the HDD chugging away and a low virtual memory warning, so I'm guesing it starts growing a huge paging file when all the memorys used up.
After suffering with video tearing and non-accelerated 1080i playback for months with my Radeon HD4550, I went over to the green team. I've read here that the Radeon HD3450/3650 are good HTPC cards and don't suffer the problems of the HD4000 series, but I wanted a card I could just pick up at (and return to) my local Fry's, and they don't carry any HD3000 cards at all any more.
First I tried the on-board video of my GeForce 6100 mainboard via a KWorld scan converter - no good, still tearing, 1080i still non-accelerated (or not accelerated enough). The video quality of the scan converter was ok, nothing to get excited about, but far better than the eVGA 8400gs I'll mention in a moment.
Then I bought a GeForce 7200GS - no good, the card didn't work at all. No idea if the card was defective, or if it just had some compatibility issue with my mainboard.
Then I bought an eVGA GeForce 8400gs. It had very poor S-Video out quality. The performance was better, but 1080i was still not well accelerated at all. Adding insult, the fan could be heard all the way down the hall.
Tonight I installed a PNY GeForce 9400gt. At last, good results. 1080i seems to be accelerated, looks good, no de-interlacing problems, fan is quiet. With VMR9 FSE there's no tearing or stutter at all; on VMR9 Custom there is a very slight tear on 1080i channels from time to time, but nothing I'm going to complain about. I'm able to run at 1024x768 and get quasi-HD quality on my 61" SD bigscreen (yes, I know SVideo doesn't truly give me 1024x768, but I can definitely see the improvement vs 640x480 on HD channels)
I'd say the HD4550 still had better image quality on S-Video out, but the PNY 9400GT is pretty decent (far superior to whatever garbage eVGA used on that 8400gs). The TV tuning options in the nVidia control panel are a bit touchy, sometimes adjusting one thing will break something else; ATI Catalyst Control Center was comparitively a joy. But I've got it adjusted now so hopefully that will be the end of it.
Just filing my report for the potential benefit for those on a video card hunt. Everyone seems to have different experiences though; I've seen several mentions of people quite happy with the 8400gs, but it didn't work for me.
edit: final piece of the puzzle - set 'wait for vertical sync' to 'force on' in 3d settings; that seems to have cured the tearing (I was starting to see more tearing, getting a bit disappointed until I remembered that setting)
I recorded shows on FOX, NBC, and CBS tonight. FOX and NBC are on the same frequency and ever since I upgraded to 1.3.11, GBPVR has always chosen to multi-record these 2 stations together. For some reason it did not multi-record and sent one of the recordings to my HDPVR instead of multi-recording on my HDHR. Any ideas? Not sure witch logs to attach, just let me know which ones are needed. Thanks.
