I have my GBPVR server suspending and resuming just fine. It even wakes up when the (file sharing over wireless) client starts. However, it does not always wake up fast enough to satisfy the client, which then errors out with the dreaded red cross (requiring it to be shut down with Task Manager).
I have read most of the suspend / resume threads and have found some possible workarounds. But it would be so much nicer if GBPVR itself either waited a programmable amount of time after it tried to connect to the server or waited for the server to respond and then produced an error message if the server was not available.
I have a bunch of dvr-ms HD mpeg2 recording that I'd like to convert and shrink to divx. They are already comskipped. Can I use skiptool to do that? I know I used to be able to use it on SD MPEG files but don't know about the new dvr-ms hd ones.
I am looking into buying a wireless MediaMVP. So I will have some questions so that I dont throw my money down the crapper. One is that I have read thay you can only run this on WEP secured network that it will not work on a WPA encrypted network? Is there a way around this so that I can leave my Net on WPA? I have a Linksys WRT54G wireless router.
Thanks
I can't seem to play any .ts files outside of GBPVR. GraphEdit, Graphstudio and MediaPlayerClassicHC all crash. I'm not sure how to tell the filter in use (which I assume is the one that's crashing) without one of those running. I can attach to the filter graph from GBPVR using GraphEdit, which runs great, but I can't see any way to set that graph up for use by external apps.
I didn't use .ts before switching to 1.3.11 last week, so I'm not sure if this symptom is new from all the survival patches or old.
Following on from this thread I thought I would break off the OSD discussion...
Hairy Wrote:I wasn't exactly sure how to format this, here's how I presently have it. 2 sub folders - Internal Graphics and External Graphics. Internal Graphics folder has 2 files - Blue.xml and Black.xml and uses GB to generate the OSD graphics. External Graphics folder has 2 folders - Blue and Black, each contain the skin.xml and the 6 separate png's that make up the OSD (the plugin could then load the graphics based on the colour chosen)
Remembering the CS principle of separating layout from appearance (not to mention the flexabilty offered by using images instead of GB-PVR draw tags), I think that External Graphics is the only way to go.
Looking at the resources supplied by Hairy and playing with the OSD I'd like to propose that we split the layout (XML) and appearance (images) by having two SkinPlugin entries related to OSD:
Resources\Layout\OSD\ A range of skin.xml file which defines the layout of the OSD and references the external OSD images listed below (currently only one layout option but this may change in the future, eg bigger osd text, minimal OSD etc...).
Resources\Graphics\OSD\
Set's of images and icons which make up the graphical part of the OSD.
If you guys agree...
The work required is to add the control icons (pbaspectbtn.png - pbupchbtn.png) to the current "OSD\External Graphics\" sets, refactor the resources to show OSD in Graphics and Layout correctly and then update the SkinPluginConfig.xml and preview skin files to match. (not much work)
I'm having difficulties setting up my card. I'm trying to "map my digital channels to EPG channels" but I for some reason my xmltv.xml file doesn't give any information in the "tuning requests" column. I went the xmltv_exe route using SchedulesDirect with no success.
I'm trying to setup a digital recording from QAM using a KWorld usb tuner. I've switched the settings on the registry to a "2" but every time I do a channel scan it only wants to do the OTA scan from 1-60 or whatever it does.
I'm pretty sure it's the tuning request column having no information is what is screwing me up. I would really appreciate your help.
I have been trying to get the TS recording working for a while now but always end up hitting the same problem, I am now keen to get this working to take advantage of multi record. I am recording UK terrestrial freeview channels, so thats SD with normal mpeg video and audio. If I record a show, wait for it to finish and then watch it, everything works fine, however if I start watching while it is still recording or use timeshift live TV then after a random period of time (10 seconds to 10 minutes) the audio starts stuttering really badly but the video is fine, this does not happen with the Cyberlink mux. I am currently using the MPV and MPA decoders with the audio renderer set to default, I have however tried various other combinations.
Hi, i found GB-PVR that i search a streaming server for Popcorn Hour A110. Fist time i install it the Installer ends with an error, but the GB-PVR a installed, i go to the config program and config the capture cards. GB-PVR Locate my Capturecards
1x Hauppauge WinTV NOVA-HD-S2 (now als HVR-4000 at GB-PVR) and
1x Pinncale 7010ix (now als BGT3540 at GB-PVR).
Now i config all and start scan Senders with the Hauppauge. The Scan was horror some times the aplication stops with an error some times no recation, for feeled 30 try´s again the scan was complete but no Anixe HD and ProSieben/Sat1 / RTL Groups not found.Scan with the 7010ix Sat works but also not all sender found by scan. The DVB-T Scan Work and have all located. But what can i do to found alle the channels with DVB-S and the 7010ix is a 6in1 card but i only want to use 2x DVB-T and 2x DVB-S but only 1x BGT3540 DVB-T , 1xBGT3540 DVB-S and 1x HVR-4000 was located if i check the box for scan my cards.
I have also test DVBViewer the scan is no problem with DVBViewer, all cards located and everything works fine but the Popcorn frontend its not finish and no zapping.
I hope someone can help me, maybe there is a german support forum ?? i don`t have found it.

PVRX2 1.3.11 stops responding scanning for new channels and can't record E4.
Ever since version 1.2.13 PVRX2 has always stopped responding when it is attempting to scan or save new channels. Does anyone have any idea if this problem is going to be fixed in the next release so I can update my channels without having to uninstall the current version and reinstall version 1.2.09 and then uninstall that and reinstall the current version again?
Also is the next release going to be compatible with the UK Freeview channel sharing EPG position when for exampled BBC3 shares the same multiplex position as CBBC but they appear as different channels in the EPG with me having to scan for new channels twice at different time of day when each channel is broadcasting.
Also PVRX2 1.3.11 is unable to record certain programmes on E4 without the recording freezing part of the way through them, which I think is because at this time E4 is attempting to change the MHEG interactive text information. I did not have this problem with the previous release.
Hi All - Installed the plugin and upgraded to the beta. Everything seems to be working OK (Can play movies and get lists, but whenever I try to view my que I get the error msg. "unable to retreive que" when I access the gue menu of the plugin. It's my understanding that the plugin currently only addresses the DVD que, but I have videos in both the Instant and DVD que.
I searched the forum for any que related items but found none.
TIA,
Littlalex
P.S. - sorry for the above, searched for "que", and me a junior high county spelling bee champion...sheesh!
