In my quest to make my client setup work, I have spent the last few hours doing more testing. I have concluded that the best setup for me is to use Streaming option with TS mux for HD streaming and server playback. I ran into a couple of issues that do not seem related to my setup and need help with.

This is all happening on the client

1. When I record ts files and try to play them through video library, I only get sound but no video. They playback fine in WMP and VLC.

2. When I try to do LiveTV on a digital HD channel, I get a blank screen and then it goes back to the previous menu. This happens too if I try to playback a recording in progress. In both cases I can playback the growing file (recording or timeshifted) outside with WMP or VLC flawlessly.

I have tried just about every combination of renders and decoders and rule them out as the issue.

None of this happens with the Analog mpg files, they work fine.

I have attached the logs for both issues.

Thanks for your help

I know this appears easy but i've looked at the addepisode and WizRenameRecording and they do not appear to have an option for changing the extension. my goal is to compress the mpeg files to avi and change their extension accordingly in Postprocessing.bat.

Help is appreciated!

I am having the following problem with DVD playback. DVD's play ok but when ever I try to Pause, fast forward, stop etc. PVXR2 stops responding

I have attached the log files following trying to fast forward a DVD.

I am intermittently getting the following message when I restart my computer "sorry this system does not support the required VRM9 renderer". When this happens I am not able to access GBPVR and the screen doesn't display correctly. In addition the computer usually hangs during the first reboot and needs to be reset again which usually solves the problem.

Rebooting the computer a few times or reinstalling the video driver seems to correct the problem until it occurs again.

I am using a Gigabyte Motherboard with NVIDIA on board graphics. I have been through the various posts on the forum regarding NVIDIA graphics chips and VRM9 and thought I had a solution but can't get rid of this problem.

Does any one have any suggestions as to where I should start? Do I need to get a new graphics card? and if so any suggestions?

Thanks

I've trying to configure my PCH to start GB-PVR from the Web Service menu. Do I just need to type the relevant line from the gbpvr.html file into the URL box? That is, "http://localhost.drives:8883/NETWORK_SHARE/mvpmc/gbpvr.cgi"? It doesn't seem to work altho it works fine in gbpvr.html. I'm probably missing something obvious (again).

I setup GBPVR to convert the TS recordings into DivX and the result doesn't look that great. I know that with compressing the video you're going to lose quality, but since a 30 minute show took up about 300mb I figured the quality would be a bit better. I used to be able to convert a full movie into a 700mb file and have better quality than what the video looks like now so I'm assuming I just need to configure the code properly. However, I'm not having any luck finding where to configure the codec.

Also, on a side note, I originally had it set to convert the TS recording to MPEG-2 format but when ffmpeg launched after the recording it didn't seem to do anything.

My goal is to convert the video into a format that takes up less space than 3.5gb per 30 minutes (TS format) but that I can stream to my PS3. I believe it will support DivX, Xvid, or the MPEG-2 format. I don't want to compress the videos down to a point where the lose a lot of quality though. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

It would be nice if GBPVR can use an LCD TV,keyboard and mouse connected to the computer as a frontend. I can use my system as a dedicated fast home theatre w/o any mvp or nmt while continuing the work on the pc

The new release of DivX 7.0 includes a H.264 codec. Can this be made to work with GBPVR. How. Is it any good.

Ugh, what have I done!? :confused:

I just tried to upgrade to the latest version of burndvdx2 and I also installed skiptool but they are nowhere to be found. I opened Gbpvr and they weren't listed, I opened config > plugins and they weren't there either.

I uninstalled & reinstalled both but still nothing. Can I not have both plugins installed at once?

Please help. Logs attached

How about I drop a bomb...

I think I explained why I want to do this on the new wiki page. And expecting a lot of heat, I thought I'd open a thread that would take it...

There was a point that I was thinking about a call home function. Certainly I'm aware how terrible that is, especially in this type of community. Any time there's a false ping on someone's firewall, sub gets asked if there's a call home in GB-PVR itself...

So as said, all I want is to get a sense of how many people are using the software, not just how many downloads...

I'd like to automate the registration, so I won't need to manually reply to registration requests. And If I am given a private Outside email address, I'd like to know who I'm talking to (Many GB-PVR handles aren't people's real names...)

Another idea to allow people to be anonymous is to simply send your unique IP address.

I do realize that new users don't know me from Adam, and may not be able to trust me. And that any type of information can be used for nefarious purposes.

So if anyone has any other ideas for me to collect a user count, I'm interested...

Thanks
