Sometimes when I run Skiptool on a movie, I get large sections missing in the resulting AVI.

To transcode I use Stattik's script (we worked his new script out a while back), Fixed Quant, No IVTC and Auto.

Is this because of the Hauppauge timing issue? I thought I installed the newer drivers that were supposed to fix that. Is this another issue? I'm attaching the .txt file of a movie I just Transcoded yesterday. The original MPG was 2 hours, the resulting was 1 hour.

Whenever I try to load dongle.mvpmc-20080726.bin it appears to hang, but the logs show many many retries. I can load dongle.mvpmc-20080405.bin with no problems.

Have downloaded again and unzipped, tried with and without a dongle.bin.config, removed the share and rebooted machines and routers, all with no luck.

Sub,

I've found an error in the scheduling code, with recurring/pending/conflict code using 1.2.13.

My config has three tuners, 2 are uk freeview and 1 is UK Sky. It's using all three tuners. But somehow it's choosen to implement two recording on the sky card.

When I check Conflicts it's reporting all ok... I would expect that it reports a conflict. (I know works with a single card) now I've got multi cards I think the logic is select three recording and three tuners and thinking all is ok.

I've cleared the logs and dumped the EPG and cleared the pending recording and reloaded the EPG and it's the same.

Would you mind have a look.
I've screenshot the issue and zipped the logs.

If you need I've got my GBPVR.DB3 and the EPG for testing if you need them.

I usually record my recordings to a directory on C: but recently I had been saving some to a drive called S:

I removed the drive a while ago and forgot to change the directory back to the usual one

Then I scheduled a recording, and when I came back to play it, couldn't find it.

I eventually found that my recordings directory was still set to S: and as such, my recording never happened.


I think GBPVR should check when a recording is scheduled, if the directory exists etc, and alert with a message

I understand that this could cause a problem if the recordings were set to record to a shared directory/mapped drive etc somewhere on another PC which may not be turned on at the time of scheduling, but have an option to override the error with the assumption that the directory will be available later on.

I'd like to see three more buttons on the UI - fullscreen toggle (Alt-Enter) and switching to the EPG whilst keeping the TV screen going (Home key), and a mute button.

All of these would allow better compatibility with pointing devices for these very common commands that currently only seem to be available from the keyboard.

If I watch a recording while it is recording (ie. timeshifting) there are no problems, however if I wait until the recording has finished then there is no sound when I play it - I have to watch it in another app.

Unfortunately I'm not really sure when this started - it's been a good couple of weeks or more, but I have mucked around a little bit with renderers and mux's etc. I really struggle to understand it all!

I've attached the logs and would be very grateful if someone could take a look for me.

any way this can be taken apart and mounted inside a case? I havent taken it apart at this point, i'm curious, you dont think its a pci board with some kind of adapter to make it usb that can be stripped down and just plugged in to a pci slot do you?

I'd consider selling it to someone if they wanted it... i just dont like exernal stuff anymore. I prefer pci based component nice and tucked away - out of sight out of mind.

I just dont feel like fiddling around and taking it apart this second.

TY

Cheers

Hi,

I just got a Hauppauge HVR1600 to replace a PVR150, which was device #3 in my system. I put the HVR1600 in the same PCI slot - would the HVR1600 also be device #3?

If I set the device as #3 and go to map channels to EPG (EPG is to be gathered from dvb data), GBPVR first tells me that the device is in use or there is a problem with the device. Then, GBPVR crashes with a .NET dialog box popping up (the one with details, continue, quit).

My system has a PVR250 as device #1, a PVR150MCE as device #2, and now a HVR1600.

I have attached my Filtercheck.log since that's what sub usually asks for.

Thanks.

I have setup the EPG and tuner in config, but when i try using GBPVR it will not desplay Live TV. I have added the skin folder. Also when i go to TV Guide there is nothing and the program stops responding. Thanks for your help and support.

I'm looking to add a couple (2) tuner cards to my prescious htpc just to fill up the last 2 pci slots.

What would you recommend?

TY

Cheers
