When I was recording the Olympics, my broadcaster's programme times for the events I wanted to watch changed everyday.
For recordings that were preset before an EPG update, I noticed that it didn't move across to the new time but instead the EPG got mucked up. I had to cancel the recording, empty and update the EPG again to get it correct again.
I have just installed GBPVR version 1.2.9 and I am using a pinnacle HD Pro Stick for OTA HD TV. I have been able to get my channels set up but the audio playback is not working. I am running vista home premium 32. I had audio working yesturday but one time when I started up the program and the screen that pops up about ffdshow came up I think I checked always use this and don't ask me again. And not really know what I was doing there that seems to have made the audio stop working.
I did a conversion from home made dvd to x.264 using fair use wizard. I was able to play the x.264 file with VLC. However, when i used Quicktime 7.5 version the x.264 refused to play. I was thinking that Quicktime does play H.264? Am I missing something?
i'm taking that thread here http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=37210 to get some additional docu on the wiki started. for those out there who don't run 24/7, how do you start your PC? i've added some options as a poll, i'd like to know how many users are working with which solution.
please post any additional infos you have like that:
where to get it from
how much to spend for it
usable with any remotes (programmable)
additional features
other dis-/advantages (like MCE Remote wake up only possible if BIOS has USB wake up support...)
i use a homebrew solution from http://www.atric.de

+ IR reciever also usable as an homebrew LIRC reciever
(for those out there with soldering skills, schematics & firmware available for download)
satori uses the solution from http://www.simerec.com/PCS-2.html

I was wondering if there as a IE/Mozilla based web browser, with flash available for GBPVR so I may watch YouTube and CNET TV content on my GB PVR setup, without closing GBPVR.
I wish to watch my iTunes downloaded podcasts on my GBPVR system, but GBPVR does not play MP4 and M4V files, I don't want to have to do any converting, just selecting the file and playing it.
Is there a way to get GBPVR to play it, like adding a new codec ? If that is a way, what is the codec called, and how do I configure it?
When I try to burn a (PAL) dvd with BurnDVDX2 the VIDEO_TS is empty after conversion. When I hit "Burn DVD" ImgBurn starts in seconds. The burndirectory with the menu files, VIDEO_TS, AUDIO_TS are created. But VIDEO_TS is empty.
I have this problem for a while and can't figure out why this happens. Reinstalling BurnDVDX2 doesn't help.
The way I have my setup is my power button on the remote both turns GBPVR on and off. The way I do that is I have startup and shutdown .bat files that essentially only do two things turn monitor on/off and run/kill pvrx2.exe process. This creates a slight problem. If i just kill pvrx2.exe while watching live TV once pvrx2.exe is shut down the live tv continues to get recorded ( i have timeshift enabled all the time).
When I noticed that I was like fine this makes sense I am not exactly closing the prvx2.exe gracefully. So what I did for a workaround is I have included stop and start GBPVRrecordingService.exe commands in my shutdown script. And then I realized that this way I won't be able to shutdown GBPVR through remote when I am actually purposefully recording something since the GBPVRRecordingService.exe will get restarted.
So my question is: is there a way to call the same function that selecting Exit from the main menu calls, from the batch file? Or is there a way to add some OnPvrx2ProcessClose logic(in future releases) that can differentiate if it's live tv being recorded or an actual program?
Hope that made sense
Thanks
Hi, I've set up a second PC to run as a client of my main PC. However instead of being able to access the epg, use live TV, etc, I want this second PC to simply automatically play whatever the main PC is playing or tuned into, etc. I.e have the second PC act as a dumb terminal.
Is this possible with a pvrx2 client? Or is there a plugin to do it?
Or any other suggestions for a good way to do this...?
