Occasionally I've been having an issue where the audio and video become out of sync on my burned disc's. Does anyone else ever get this? I use the commercial trim option and when it happens it seems to occur right after a commercial edit.
Any idea's why this happens sometimes and/or how to avoid it? I thought maybe it had something to do with me using the computer while the mpg was being processed... but it still has happened even when I'm careful not to anything till its complete.
Hey guys I am new to gbpvr and I have search everywhere for a solution but can not find one.
I have everything setup and right now just trying to scan for channels for mapping.
I am using this bda setting for the dvico fusion 5 usb:
[Fusion HDTV-USB (ATSC) type2]
TUNING_TYPE=ATSC
TUNING_SPECIAL=2
FILTER_TUNER=Bluebird, BDA Tuner1
FILTER_CAPTURE=Bluebird, WDM TsCapture1
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
The problem is that when I do a scan for channels, I would get signal when it comes to a frequency that suppose to have channels, but it actually doesn't pick up any channels, I only see the signal reading go up for a split second and it moves on to the next frequency
Any help would be great at this point as I am about to give up and just use the dvico software
My current setup:
Coaxial cable from time warner goes into the cable box, from there i have a splitter (one to the tv) (the other to analog port on tuner card)
In WinTv I'm able to receive a signal on Ant 3 - Analog
I dont know how to setup the 'capture sources' for the card in the config part of GBPVR. I've tried all sorts of combinations.
When I run the tunning assistant under antanae I can see the cable signal on channel 3, Frequency 31250000. How can I add this as a channel?
since 4 days I have 0kb recordings. Before this happend I used GBPVR for a long time without any problems.
I did not change any setting. It appeared suddenly and I do not know what to do.
What I did so far:
I used 1.15. Because I could not find a solution I upgraded GBPVR to the latest version. Unfortunately with not success. I sill get 0kb recordings.
I installed the software from my card (Terratec Cinergy 1200 DVB-C) to test whether it has a problem. The card works fine with the Terratec Software. I even finds channels.
When I do a channel rescan in GBPVR it does not find a signal. Strength and Quality are both 0.
I checked the cable. It is ok too.
I uninstalled GBPVR and reinstalled it. Nothing.
As said I did not made any changes to the system and to GBPVR itself. Maybe anyone of you can help me to solve my problem.
I'm not sure if I'm just don't get it or what. I'm trying to change my keymappings via the .../keymappings/xxxx.xml files. I've done this before so it should not be difficult but I seem to have run into a wall here.
I've been using a wireless keyboard for some time now and have remapped keys mostly for the video player do things like spacebar (play/pause) and "P" (play) make more sense within GBPVR. Been working very well. I can modify the VideoPlayer.xml file with any keymapping that I want and it works fine. But when I try to branch out by changing the mappings for other things like MainMenu.xml or Recordings.xml, all of the changes are ignored and it just goes on doing it the old way.
The reason I'm back to messing with mappings at all this is the iphone. There is a neat app out there that lets me use the iphone as a keyboard and mouse to a computer on the local network so I'm trying to get it to work. Why??? Cause it's there. Problem is that the iphone doesn't have things like arrow keys, esc key and F keys on its native keyboard. So I have to remap so that within GBPVR I can use another key to do things like fast forward (instead of the right arrow key thats missing from the iphone keyboard.)
I'm sure I'm missing something here so I hope someone can get me back on track.
I updated the RecoverRecordings.bat file for the changes in newer versions.
[had to take out redundant first line of xml]
if you use a ntfs recording drive and lose your database,this can build a recording-dump.xml you can import back in by looking at the show:metadata.xml file attached on each...
To use: just stick it in your recordings dir and run it..it will create a recordings-dump.xml in that dir that you can then import from config.exe or command line pvrx2.
Checks for any files with metadata,.mpg,.ts.avi.wmv
fairly simple and foolproof....lol
Enjoy!
Code:
@echo off
set out=%~dp0
echo.
echo. Generating Recording Import data for all recordings in %out% to
echo. %out%\recording-dump.xml
echo.
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%i IN ("<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>") DO ECHO %%i> "%out%\recording-dump.xml"
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%i IN ("<recordings>") DO ECHO %%i>> "%out%\recording-dump.xml"
FOR /R %out% %%f IN (*.mpg *.ts *.avi *.wmv) DO (call :extract "%%~f")
rem :: more < %%f:metadata.xml >> "%out%\recording-dump.xml"
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%i IN ("</recordings>") DO ECHO %%i>> "%out%\recording-dump.xml"
echo.
echo Done.
echo.
echo No metadata.xml found attached to above files..all others imported.
pause
notepad.exe %out%\recording-dump.xml
goto :eof
:extract
for /f "usebackq tokens=* skip=1" %%p in ("%~1:metadata.xml") do (
if "%%p" == "<recording>" (
echo %%p>>%out%\recording-dump.xml
) else (
if "%%p" == "</recording>" (echo %%p>>"%out%\recording-dump.xml") else (
echo %%p>>"%out%\recording-dump.xml")
)
)
goto :eof
also can be run from a net dir..still trying to figure out how to alter the path to net paths while i import..maybe soon.. [convert e:\mpg to \\server\share] Fixed: paths with spaces now corrected..
Someone on AVForums recommended GBPVR so here I am.
Downloaded the newest version, but it is failing to detect my TV Tuner, a Pinnacle PCTV Sat Pro 4000i with dual tuners.
System Specs:
Windows Vista Ultimate Service Pack 1 64bit
Intel Quad Core Q6600 2.4ghz
Asus P5E HDMI Mother Board
4Gb RAM
Gainward ATI Radeon 4850 512Mb
Pinnacle's "beta" drivers for Vista 64 do not work, and I have it running currently with Microsoft's own drivers. The card currently works in DVBViewer with hd channels perfectly fine, and works in Vista Media Centre (No hd channels).
I had previously used Media Portal, which also failed to detect the card.
Now as far as I am aware, these are BDA drivers.
I cannot see the card in the dropdown list in the Config, and if I tick the detect tuners in system, it says there is nothing there.
A friend of mine has more or less the same system and TV tuner but under Vista Ultimate 32bit, and the config also fails to detect the card, but again it works fine in DVBViewer and VMC.
Are the drivers not up to scratch or could it simply be down to the card being active elsewhere in the system?
Please let me know what files you'd like me to attach so someone can analyse the problem.
Whenever I playback recordings and pvrx2 tries to skip commercials, it causes playback to freeze for a very long time. When it finally resumes playback, my audio is out of sync with the video. This problem also occurs if I try to skip ahead on the timeline using my cursor. Sometimes, skipping will remain frozen and I have to hit ESC to exit playback. Comskip worked when I was using MediaPortal and I'm wondering what may be causing my problems with pvrx2. Thanks
