I'd like to have an option in the GUI where, when I select a show to record, I manually can choose the tuner I'd like to use instead of it being chosen automatically by gbpvr based on the device number.
Currently, AFAIK, to choose a tuner, I'd have to do it on a channel by channel basis, by disabling all channels I'd want to be recorded by plextor from my 2250's epg and vice versa. I'd rather be able to do it on a per recording basis than on a per channel basis since there is no channel I'd want to be recorded entirely digital--I don't have the drive space for that at the moment.
Should it be a potentially confusing addition for other users, it could be done automatically by default (like is now) and could be toggled from an ini or from the config program to have the manual selection enabled.
I have a Video Capture Device I used to transfer VHS tapes to my hard drive. Recently I bought a couple of those DTV Converters and it occurred to me that maybe if I connected them DTV Converter-Capture Device-PC with GB-PVR installed, I may be able to watch/record TV on my PC.
Some complication: I live in an area that will be exempt from the DTV conversion and will continue to receive analog signals for at least awhile because it is rural and uses translators. So I thought my idea might work with my laptop when I travel to a DTV supplied zone, if at all.
Secondly, since I will continue to receive analog signals at home, and have analog pass-through DTV Converters; if this might work with a digital signal for my laptop, would the analog pass-through affect the (analog) signal in any way that would allow it to work even at home on my desktop in the above configuration. I realize this would be a real stretch (converter box being OFF when passing-through) but worth asking.
I am obviously not technically savvy in these areas -- hacking is always a learning process for me, one way or another.
I was running 1.3.7 successfully except for occasional recordings that wouldn't stop so I upgraded to 1.3.11
I upgraded 1.3.11 over 1.3.7. It seemed ok except I got some 0 byte recordings so I rebooted the computer BUT now my recording status shows 8 tuners rather than the 2 (Nova TD stick) I have.
I uninstalled and reinstalled 1.3.11 but now it won't install because it comes up with ".Net framework installation utility encountered a problem" at the very end.
I've downloaded the 2005 C++ libraries from the 1.3.7 survival and reinstalled them.
I've reinstalled .net 2.0 SP1
But I still get the error ".Net framework installation utility encountered a problem" at the very end.
I've downloaded and installed GB, put can't figure out how to set it up and use it, and I've been using computers for 30 years! Nothing about GB seems to be intuitive.
Where might I find a thorough step by step instructions on setting GB up, and most importantly how to get the EPG to work?
Some short questions from a newbie (hope I am posting in the right forum):
1.) Is Live Preview available if client and server (with tuner card) are on different machines being connected by LAN?
2.) If yes, how fast is channel switching in Live TV?
3.) If not, how fast is channel switching in Live TV?
Thanks in advance and sorry if these questions are stupid
When I use a mouse to navigate in the Recordings section, I used to be able to just select a video and use the scroll wheel to scroll through the list. But ever since 1.3.7 when I click on a video it doesn't get focus and if I try and use the scroll wheel the menu selection on the left changes. I have the use the keyboard's right arrow in order to give the video list the focus. This behavior, as you can imagine, is kind of annoying.
Hi, I upgraded to 1.3.11 when it came out. I re-added padding to my scheduled recordings (had previously set padding to 0 minutes) but am still getting weird failures. Under 1.3.7 I had this problem which is why the set the padding to 0 and it helped a bit but now it seems to be a bit worse. Sorry, only anecdotal evidence here.
Coronation St at 7.30pm tonight just failed, but McLeods Daughters succeeded. Wondering if you could shed some light on why or what I could do? Logs attached.
Would it perhaps be beneficial to create a new recordings directory and/or reinstall the app and/or recreate all my schedules - i don't mind the idea of starting fresh if it would help.
> by failed, the recordings usually create a 0 byte file - when you play it, it flicks back to the pvr screen. i've also had some which just make the screen go blank when you play them, but not as often.
> I'm using freeview satellite only and have two tuners .. while I would like to see the problem fixed if it's possible (just for the good of the program ) should I just devote one tuner to one frequency and the other tuner to the other frequency (I think there are only two frequencies on freeview satellite in NZ)?
