I can't get Zprocess/Ztranscode working since the upgrade to 1.3.11. I've tried the last stable, and the pre-release. I've toggled to "interact with desktop" off and on again. I'm currently testing zprocess 2.0.341 and ztranscode 2.1.301 with an avi file. It doesn't work on the pc or the MVP. Could you list a step by step of completely removing and then reinstalling the latest version? Thanks.

Hi,

I set a recurring recording for House last night using "all in this weekly time slot, this channel." In the time slot for next week it picked up the proper show but it also got two other shows at 1 and 2 AM earlier that day. I don't know why it is getting these shows even though they aren't within 4 hours of the normal time. In the config I have my <AllowableTimeslotVariance> set to 240.

I am using this remote and blaster. Installed the IR blaster facing the STB.

Did the learning of the STB remote and selected MCE2005 IR BLASTER PLUGIN in config.

However, when I select the channels from GUIDE, the STB does not change the channels. Enclosed logs.

I am looking to see if the attached link would be a decent client pc. It seems small and quite, but not sure about its video card, I would be using it for HD playback mainly.

Alternatively should i just get a second PCH

I've not used my PCH for a few months. It had been working fine. I decided to fire it up last night and I saw there was a new firmware update, so I upgraded to it.

I'm now at Version 01-17-090116-15-POP-402-000.

I can connect to my mvpmc share and see my telnet.html file. It opens fine but when I select "Telnet" or "GBPVR" I immediately get a "Request cannot be processed". I tried editing the script so that it just contained...

#!/bin/sh
echo "Content-Length: 29";
echo "Content-type: text/html";
echo "";
echo "Telnetd started on port 23............";
exit 0;

I get the same error with this too.

I'm running GBPVR 1.3.11 running on Windows XP. It was working several months ago. The things changed since then were the new firmware and the new GBPVR version. :confused:

I'm new to the whole HTPC setup and have been reading these forums like crazy, but still have some questions.

My machine: ECS A780GM-A (780G IGP), AMD 4850e, Hauppauge 2250, Win XP SP3.

My initial goal is to record and playback ATSC HDTV. I did a fresh install of XP. Installed all the updated drivers for everything. Installed AC3Filter and GB-PVR. My tuner is working great (pre-release drivers from Hauppauge found ALL channels now!) and I can record with no problems. My questsions are about playback.

I have installed the lastest catalyst drivers from ATI (8.12). If I use Overlay as the renderer and ATI MPEG Decoder things seem to work OK and I get 10-20% (~35% with OSD showing) CPU usage when playing back HDTV. When I use other decoders, the CPU usage is in the 40-60% range.

First question: Is 10-20% typical for my setup, or should I be expecting less CPU usage? Does this mean my full hardware acceleration is working?

Now for the problem. If I switch to VMR9 (or VMR9 Exclusive), the playback is terrible. Jittery, skippy, colors seem to misregister (i.e. the green channel may be slightly off from other channels creating a green ghosting effect), and eventually it will just freeze the application. The application then needs to be killed via task manager. This sometimes forces a reboot.

Anyone know a fix for this, or should I just stick with Overlay? I really don't care if the OSD is semi-transparent, however I'm wondering if the inability to set an aspect ratio outside the screen dimensions will show the nasty overscan junk that is sometimes on the top of the videos.

I did actually download .NET 3.0 and tried EVR on XP but CPU was back to 40-60% usage.


Last question (a stupid one), my settings set to show in windowed mode in 16x9 aspect ratio. However, I somehow resized my window (I think by double clicking the border) and it has switched itself to 4x3 and I can't get it to switch back. Even re-installed and nothing.


Thanks,
JBreits

I have 3 different tuner types in my system, PVR150's, 1600 and a hdhomerun.
I get recordings that have video that won't playback correctly on occasion.

It would help in debugging if I could tell which tuner recorded the video.

Could the tuner number be added to the file name or somewhere else?

Thanks
Steve

Just got Dish Network installed. Was useing just an antenna before. Had coax cable from antenna going into the ATSC/clear QAM digital cable input on the Hauppauge 1600 cards.I have two 1600 cards.
The dish Network STB is the HD 211 box. It has coax composite component and hdmi outputs.I was hoping to record HD programming from the STB to PC. How should i connect the Dish 211 STB to the Hauppauge 1600 card??
I ask because it says in the 211 manual that coax and S video and composite are for SD TV. Not sure if thats just a recommendation or that only SD comes out of those connections only.

I'm planning on re-vamping the plugin (both behind the scenes and user interface wise) and reducing the showtimes sources to just the one, Google Movies.

This is an international site and doing a bit of research it looks like Google Movies covers quite a few countries. I would request that (in as many countries as possible) try this out and see if it works in your country, and works well.

As always, comments and suggestions welcome

Hey... I've been out of the loop for a while... If I were to get an HD STB, are there any capture cards that I can feed the output from the STB to, and use in GBPVR?

I'm sick of waiting for HD channels in our DVB-T network (I doubt it'll ever happen), so thinking about switching to satellite. One option would of course be to try and get a DVB-S card and get multidec working, but it seems like a waste of money if I'm unable to make it work...
