I was just wondering if there is any way to get the HD PVR to work with the newest version of gbpvr yet. I have just heard of people getting some things to work with different codecs.
i have scheduled a recurring show, which shows up as "thursday, between 03:30-04:10". the next show actually starts at 03:50.
the db shows:
66|61872|1|4|Smallville|5|11|2009-01-08 03:30:00.0000000|2009-01-08 04:10:00.0000000|31|1|2|6|8|
67|61872|1|6|Smallville|0|11|2009-01-08 03:50:00.0000000|2009-01-08 04:35:00.0000000|31|1|2|6|0|
in the GBPVRRecordingService.exe-native.log, i see:
2009-01-06 15:39:35.296 VERBOSE Asking Windows to be awake for recording (oid: 66) at 2009-1-8 3:25:30 (UTC 2009-1-8 2:25:30)
2009-01-06 15:39:35.296 VERBOSE Asking Windows to be awake for recording (oid: 67) at 2009-1-8 3:45:30 (UTC 2009-1-8 2:45:30)
looks like it creates a wakup event for the earliest time of the recurring event AND the actual instance?
Does anyone have a recommendation for minimum specs to playback HD recordings? I put together a PC from parts laying around and it does a great job on SD but for HD programs the video is choppy. The audio is fine. It looks like I am balancing on that line. I am just wondering if someone can throw out some specs for a machine that is NOT a high end machine that works will with HD programs. I am wondering how much and which components I need to upgrade.
I don't have all the specs on my machine with me I will add them to this post later. Thanks!
I posted this in another thread but didn't have any luck getting answers/suggestions so I'm going to start a new thread to see if I can get anywhere with this issue:
I've been running GBPVR for a year without any major issues on my Win XP PC, so today I installed the latest build on my Win 2003 server in the hope that I could use it to schedule recordings (rather than leave my main PC running).
The entire install went flawlessly from start to finish - and it was only when I tried to run PVRX2 that I got the following message:
"Sorry, this system does not support the required VMR9 video render."
Having looked into this I can confirm I have DirectX 9 installed as well as the latest KLM codec pack. And I have tried changing the PVRX2.exe Video Render to overlay with the result that the PVRX2 window opens but nothing is displayed.
I have come to the conclusion that my graphics cad is sub par, which is logical since the card is onboard a mobo that is at least 5 years old. I'm hoping that I have a spare card in my junk box but in case I don't is there anything I can do to get PVRX2 to open so I can access the TV guide in order to set up recordings?
Within the last few days I've been seeing a stuttering effect when watching live TV. Recrodings are fine.
Tried a reset on the MVP unit and restarted the GBPVR box. Same thing is happening.
Sorry for the broad description, but don't quite know how else to describe this other than stuttering.
Have a screen position issue. I have had 1.3.7 up and running with the wired MVP model, for a while but from the first time I tested everything to now, whenever I am in the menu screens, the actual image displayed on the TV is both shifted over to the right by a couple inches and the top right hand clock banner is partially cutoff the screen. As soon as I tune to any type of channel or recording the picture appears on the TV as it normally would.
Also, when I am scrolling through recordings or down a vertical menu, the left side of the OSD will shift to the right half an inch or so and back every time I scroll to a different line.
I tried searching the forums but haven't come across a thread identifying this particular issue.
Would it be possible to integrate XBMC into GBPVR? It has a very impressive media playback capability. I used to run it on my Xbox and always loved it.
I finished cloning the Video Library plugin to my satisfaction. Do I need a wiki account to make it available for src/binary distribution? At the very least, I'll probably post it here tomorrow.
Icons still need to be implemented [by someone] since I don't use them all that much. Are the @thumbnail, @previewImage, and @folderPreviewImage properties supposed to work automatically when subclassing BaseButtonListUiTask or must they be implemented manually using GBPVRUiElement?
Sub, is there any possibility of changing the behavior for storing playback position? Right now it doesn't seem to store position unless a video has been stopped during playback. It would be useful to always store info and make position=(-1|length) or something like that to indicate that playback finished.
