I'd like to try the dvr-ms mux in an external graph for firewire capture. But, I can't figure out the mux name in the Graphedit filters list (I'm assuming it's a DriectShow filter?). Can anyone help? Also, if the dvr-ms mux can't be used in a graph like this, that would be good to know as well.
Also, is there a single post or thread that lists the pluses and minuses of using the dvr-ms mux? This was discussed a year or so ago, but I can't find it now. I can live without comskip as long as skipping works.
Hi - i'm a new user. I have GB-PVR v1.3.11 and the newest release of Burndvdx2. Config set to NTSC and to use Nero.
I tried burning a movie to a dvd. It was 2.5 hours, and 5.3GB to start with, but i ran comskip on it, and set it to trim the commercials, which should have brought it under 4.7gb.
It burned the DVD without showing any errors (that i know about). However the dvd only had around 2GB of info, and was missing about an hour of the movie. The beginning and end were there, but it skipped a bunch in the middle. No commercials though.
Also it would only play on my computer. Not on my DVD player. I've used this drive and media combo with other software and it played fine on my DVD player.
I'm having a small problem with a few movies in my video library not changing images and metadata when browsing the library itself. The issue is with a few movie trilogies like Star Wars and Lord of the Rings where I guess having similar names might be causing issues. I have the Lord of the rings movies listed and titled such as LOTR The Two Towers and the star wars movies titled Star Wars I The Phantom Menace or Star Wars II ect. The original star wars trilogy movies seem to work fine and will change data but when I recently added the new trilogy the image and meta data would not change and still show from whatever movie was selected before them in the list. Two of the LOTR films seem to change fine but the move that is alpabetically listed in the middle does not change data either, which happens to be Return of the King. If I delete or rename the .xml file then the cover images will correctly change when browsing but as soon as I add the .xml file back then it displays the same behavior. Not a huge issue but I thought I would ask to see if anybody else had this problem.
I am struggling trying to improve the overall playback quality of my analog recordings. I am using a PVR-150 and have found that if I select something other than "encoder passthrough", live TV looks pretty good. But playback of recordings is still less than ideal. Since I have a fairly high bitrate set for recordings, I'm thinking this is due to the deinterlacing applied during playback but I can't figure out how to control it. I have ffdshow selected as the video decoder with the intent of selecting a different deinterlace method. But during playback there is only an ffdshow icon for audio, not for video regardless of what I set for the playback decoder. Does this mean that for some reason, GBPVR is not honoring my playback decoder setting?
new Wiki page: http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Tips/Net2hipsend
For everyone who has trouble blasting with HIP and hipsend n hipwsend, try this one...
It does the same thing but uses the http server built into hip to communicate with. It also has added benefit of not needing 'Interact with desktop' checked on gbpvr service.. so troubles blasting because of Rec. service logon are no more!
From my use, it is also much faster and doesn't suffer that '3rd number pause' that seems to plague hipwsend...[where 1st 2 numbers are fast,third is after about a sec. delay]
Also, it can be used from another machine if need be...
Only requires a single localhost http port to be opened,so no firewall issues, and configures just like any other blaster .exe.
Any open port may be used..8084 is just a suggestion..
Quote:Syntax: [note:changed default server to 127.0.0.1 and port to 8084]
net2hipsend 1-4digit-ch# [delay-msecs(0)] [servername(localhost)] [port(8084)] [remote suffix(001)]
[in [] optional, defaults in ( )]
Channel # is only mandatory paramater.
examples: "net2hipsend 107" or "net2hipsend 107 500" or "net2hipsend 107 500 127.0.0.1 8090 002"
options must include all preceding options, so to specify port, you must also specify all preceding options, delay only needs the channel # before it.. In config for normal use on local machine,port 8084 and no delays, choose net2hipsend.exe as executable, and " {channel}" for params with both boxes underneath unchecked..ok out of config..
to setup HIP: go to preferences and turn on web server, set 8084 as port, and browse to the HIPDefault.htm under HIP\http\ and click ok...
[assuming you already have the blasting ir commands learned in hip, tested inside HIP to light-up blasters]
Just click on http://localhost:8084/index.htm for a nice screenshot and manual controls..
If you don't see that page then a firewall is probably getting in the way or try a different port..[like 8086]
The remote suffix is the second part of the ir blast command's numbers, eg for #1 in hip it's 1.001 for most, with the number 1 and a .001 suffix, adjust yours if you have different suffix on your blast commands to have multiple blast remotes.
[The vast majority of users will have 001, only multiple blasting remotes would have more]
I still need to make a wiki page eventually..lol
my channel changes are so fast now, they are done before the video displays even!
[it doesn't use DotNet or anything bulky, just Autoit3 script, easily decompilable into source..]
if you'd like to take it and run with it and make it better, by all means please do..
just leave it de-compilable or include the source...
EDIT: Changed default port to 8084 to avoid conflicts with EWA web streaming, and removed logging to re-enable use from any account..
P.S. no longer beta,works fine for months, few user problems..
now even faster as i just get the size of the web page, not the data itself, so even errors on web page won't trip it up.
I haven't tried to watch everything yet but most of the shows starting at 9 got fritzed. I looked at the computer and the tray icon was green but would do nothing. I looked in the task manager and the recording service was not running.
Aaaaaarg! What happened? What can I do? It sucks that I can't count on this damn thing anymore.
It seems like I'm having problems with every single thing I do with this new version and digital recordings. I'm not sure where to even start.
Have a problem with the root pvr menu on the mvp. I have included a picture for reference.
Taking into account the actual boundaries of the projected image on the TV, the menu image is being clipped on the top, and is shifted to the right so there is a inch or more gap from the actual left screen boundary. When I tune to an actual video or live TV the image is full screen.
I have been trying to deal with the MVP and AVI dilemma...
I did find an article http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...ancode+avi
mentioning copying the on-the-fly mpg file generated for MVP and an alternative on using FFDSHOW to convert to mpg.
But I'm wondering, is there any simple method to direct the gbpvr software to do on the fly transcoding but to a permanent file?
Thanks
Jeremy
sub,
Not to keep hounding you about this but I'm still experiencing DEP problems even with the latest patches from the survival guide. I try to initiate a QAM scan and it crashes the config.exe each and every single time with a DEP error. Everything else seems to be fine such as recording, watching live TV, I can even preview already scanned channels in the config, but try to initiate a scan and *crash*. Swapping in place the old PsiParser and I can scan without issue minus some channels that keep coming up missing.
At this point after looking at all sides of the issue I think the problem actually resides in the config.exe itself. You did mention something about changing some of the logic involved with the latest patches and my guess something is occuring that the config.exe is not able to compensate for. Logs are useless as everything looks normal up to the point of the crash and the windows dump shows nothing that makes sense to me. I can provide you with a copy of it will be of any help, just say the word.
