I have one of the new Panasonic Pz81 with builtin Freesat reciever and network socket. It is currently connected to my network. Does anyone know if it is possible to connect it to GBPVR (presumably using a software "push" similar to the one used on the MVP)? Either for streaming media from my PC or for recording HD/SD programs from freesat?
Hello all,
First off I must say that GBPVR makes a great front end for a HTPC.
It is totally customizable, especially if your familiar with xml.
I'm not new to the game of video off a computer, I've been messing around with this stuff for years, all the way back to C band.
OK, now I've been playing with GB for about two weeks now and have a setup that has a WAF of almost 100.
I have read just about every post I could find to no resolution.
2 problems-
#1
While watching live tv and its in 720, I have perfect pictures!
If I change channels to something 1080 (MOSTLY CBS)
the picture is great but will freeze for a second from between 10secs and 2 minutes.
I've tryed tweaking about everything I can tweak from CCC to renderers to codecs.
Best so far is VMR9 fullscreen with Intervideo codec! AC3 audio.
(I have just about every codec known to man)
I do not see this behavior from any of my other tuner software.
Is there anything I am missing??? (maybe older version?)
#2
I have setup a schedule to record soaps for wife.
What is the behavior of the this software when it starts recording?
She came home early one day and the main menu was up, she went to select Tv Guide and it hung. It did however still made the recording, but I had to crash my computer to unhang it. I've since instituted a kill switch with tasskill. Yesterday I came home early and it was on the main menu, I pressed a button and it hung again,
this time though after recording finished I could select and restart live tv. I this a bug?
I've searched everywhere but can't find this info: what are the variables available to display using DrawText in LiveTVShowInfo?
Here's what I want to do: I would like to always display the subtitle before the description of the current show. Currently the variable @description seems to return the description if it is not empty, otherwise it returns the subtitle, but never both. I would like access to the individual elements and build the display as I want (maybe what I need is not available).
First off, shot for a wicked program, seems far more stable than anything Ive tried prior, but having one major issue.
No picture or sound with TV. Finding the channels was no problem, but when I try view, there is nothing. I have tried changing the decoders (Arcsoft, FFDshow, Microsofts, and a couple of stragglers), but no luck. Am I in need of different ones, or am I way off?
Edit: Forgot to put in - v 1.3.7; capture card is "Easy TV TVB-T"; does work as I have had it on Media Portal, but MP was too temperamental with other things
Thanks muchly!
I'd like to use this thread as a pulse check for users of ZProcess and UltraXMLTV
In the other closed thread I have been hinting on adding new features and new releases soon.
I just thought I'd list some of the features I'm hoping to finish before I release out of beta and onto the wiki.
I'd love to know who's using the software (who's beta testing), how's it going, and whether new features that I'm working on are even worth it...
[SIZE="4"]ZProcess and ZTranscode[/SIZE]
DVD on the fly transcoding already released
Some better controls for manual transcoding including cropping and scaling of output video. Ripping DVDs. Better support for DIVX/XVID AVI, wmv, mpeg2, and maybe mkv(h264)
On the fly transcoding for TS and MKV files (Already limited support while using VLC as the transcode engine)
Post Processing feature to automatically remove letterbox from 'Letterbox in 4x3' TV content
**. I'm not kidding myself. There are far too many transcoders out there, that I don't even want to think about adding features to compete (if I'm even competing) Most of all these features are extensions of simple conversions from one format to another, with little setup.
[SIZE="4"]UltraXMLTV Enhancer[/SIZE]
The version that is available in my New Release thread, is almost finished.
I want to add Whurlston's WAF gainer: the reverse New show (repeat) indicator.
Along with adding an asterix to the title of a repeat show (but not for new shows), add the word (configurable) 'Repeat' to the Show Description
(Old TV guides used to say ® for repeat, but it has since been taken to mean Restricted)
I'd like to know how many people out there understand and want carpevideo's feature (he has in his own enhancer) that tells you if the movie is new or not... (CV, I do understand, but I wouldn't use it myself)
Also, I need to move some buttons (limited real estate)
I want to be sure that 'Zehd's Picks' is working fine, and that fewer and fewer problems are happening for people when they update in the middle of the night
BTW, if you do have a lock up, along with the log, I'd like to know what grabber and your log on information, so I can try and simulate the lock up. (That means I'm blaming the grabber and not the enhancer, doesn't it!)
I want to thank the brave souls who have been trying out my beta releases.
Anyone who checks in will get a free pass on Ultra
I recently had a virus, and after many steps, was finally able to remove it.
Unfortunately, now when I try to record something, it doesn't work. It seems to start (set-top box changes to proper channel, there's hard drive activity), but if I go to the Recordings menu, under Ready, the recording is already there (seconds after it was supposed to have started), and the only options are Delete or Exit.
I am using v98.13 (yes I know it's old, but it still works, up to now).
I'd like to request the ability to create submenus under a submenu for plugins...
Right now you cannot move a submenu under another, only tasks.
Also, can we add .bat files to the list of items that can be executed from Custom Tasks? Not a huge deal, but sometimes I'd like to be able to kick off a batch file as a custom task. I know I can convert to an .exe, but why?
I haven't been around in a while and still run a .9x version of GBPVR due to hardware compatibility with the newer versions, but I'd like to request a feature nonetheless as I will likely be getting a newer PC soon.
I watch exclusively from my MVP, which will on occassion reboot itself for no particular reason. I'd like to have a button in the recordings screen that would allow me to resume the last show that was playing. This could also be useful for folks who also can't watch an entire show in one sitting. (I'm also guilty on that count.)
Had an issue with an old drive that had GBPVR on it. Removed the drive and attempted to reinstall on a newer drive. Unfortunately it rolled back at the last moment. I have found where this has been resolved with the latest version (1.3.10) but since the website is down so is the given link.
It would be GREATLY appreciated if someone could post a currently live link.
