I use PVRX2 to open DvbDream satellite viewing program. I want to be able to control DVbDream with the Hauppauge remote control while the app is open and return to PVRX2 control when the app is closed. Is there a way to do this?
Periodically PVRX2 freezes, and stops responding to all input. I have to either reboot the box (wife's method) or hit ctrl-alt-delete and kill the process. It could be my graphics card is finally dieing, but I'm not real sure. I have attached the logs. I see errors in some of the logs and a bunch of "database flush"
Looking at a dvb-s scan cache entry that I found on the forums, the tuning data for one particular channel is shown as
Code:
T:10773,H,22000,56
from this I've worked out that the carr. freq. is 10773, symb. rate is 22000 and polarization is horizontal. At that point I'm OK.
I've also worked out that 56 is an FEC Rate of 5/6 but looking at the DirectShow DVBS Network Provider, I see it has an Inner and Outer FEC Rate setting. Which one applies in this case or is it both?
Also the DVBS NP filter has a 'West Position' parameter is this important and if so how do I know what to set depending on a particular satellite?
I added a 1TB disk to the original 750, for a volume size of about 1.7TB. The file system appears to be in good shape, and all the recordings appear to be intact. The "System" menu reports the correct tally of free and total space.
However, the PVR recordings guide now shows only a small fraction of the preexisting recordings, even though the recordings themselves are intact. Is there a way to regenerate the database?
I'm having problems with the 1.37 program. This started with the previous update. When I start the program The recording status shows 8 capture source#. I was able to resolve this by restarting the recording service several times then everything worked fine. Now, I installed the present update and everything worked fine until several days ago. The new task logo (GB-PVR) reverted to the old logo (a tv screen red/blue) when I try and start PVR 2 or start config I get a dialog box Microsoft .NET Framework stating Unhanded exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately. Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Anyway nothing happens and I cannot get into the program. I removed the program and reinstalled it an the same problem. I also reinstalled .net 2 an got a dialog that it was already installed.
I have not used this feature before, as I always have everything in a list view. But I thought it could be useful, so I put images in the folders, named them "folder.jpg" and started gbpvr, Changed to icon view - Nothing. This is Mayhem3 but there is no preview in the blue skin either.
I have looked in the log-files (attached) and two rows strikes me as interesting:
Code:
2008-11-17 21:41:36.187 VERBOSE [1] Skinhelper loading image from file: C:\Program\Devnz\GBPVR\skin2\Mayhem3\Video Library\..\_CoreImages\popup_mask.png
2008-11-17 21:41:36.218 VERBOSE [1] Unexpected error get image from callback (@previewImage): System.InvalidCastException: Det gick inte att omvandla ett objekt av typen System.String till typen GetImageCallback.
vid GBPVRX2.SkinHelper2.getNamedImage(Image image, String name, Hashtable parameters, XmlNode fromNode)
The swedish in the middle is: "It was not possible to convert a object of the type System.String to the type GetImageCallback at"
Perhaps the Yahoo server would be less balky if scheduled runs of yapi2xml were not restricted to even-hour settings. How about making that time set drop-in box active for typing?
1.37 has been up here for just a few days. Two recordings, both docs from different series carried on U.S. PBS, are reduced to about 80% while preserving aspect ratio. The border is black. The gb-pvr "controls" are also proportionately reduced.
Other programs display just fine.
I wonder if this is due to some misinterpretation to the metadata that was recently added? Can this feature be disabled?
