Aftwr a couple months of using GB-PVR, I have a few questions:
1. How do I go from a full screen (non-windowed mode) to a windowed mode at 100% size (which would take up a 1/4 of my 21" monitor)? Can I assign a key on the keyboard to do this or do I need remote?
2. How do I simply press record and immediately record and then press stop? You know, like you used to with a VCR? No schedules, guides, etc. Do I need a remote to do this?
Is there a way I can set it up to record by time and channel only, not by show or TV guide? I guess this would be a more manual way of recording.
I am having a bit of bother with Uburadio, it will play a stream fine but if I select another stream it plays it over the top of the existing one.
Even if I go to the station that is playing and go to stop in the side bar it continues to play. In fac even if I go to live TV it plays both the radio stream and the live tv audio.
The only way I have found to stop it is to close PVRX2.
goes to change channel, on stb by using up or down arrow, changes channel, number appears on the screen indicating channel change from stb, video freezes and crashes. Fine if i go out of live tv and enter it through the guide or what have you... attached logs from both pcs.
also noted that if i try to watch something from the tuner on the server (htpc in lounge) after its crashed on the client, it just brings up a blank screen (but allows you to watch)
When recording DVB, I would like to save the complete transport stream, including the DVB subtitles. However it seems that these are being stripped from the stream. Both ProjectX and VLC say they are there, but they seem to be empty.
When I look at the last bda.grf, it shows that only the video and audio are being saved to the .ts file (see the screendump of this graph is included in the attached zip).
I am using v1.1.5 with the GBPVRRecordingService.exe and GBPVRBackendCommon.dll patch from Nov.13. All the subtitle options in the config program are enabled.
Any ideas?
I just noticed, there is also another issue present in this log file. The last recording in the log file didn't happen, only a 0 byte .ts file was created. The other recordings in the log file are OK.
I have two tuners, one analog (PVR-250) and one digital (OnAir USB HDTV GT (QAM)). I have the digital channels also set up for the analog tuner so we can record two shows at once. Last night my wife had American Idol set to record at 8:00 (7:58) and I also set Lost to record at 8:00 (both shows are on channels that are set up for digital and analog) but I set the pre-padding to 3 minutes (7:57) to make sure it got the digital tuner (HD) first. I have the digital tuner listed first so it has priority. Lost started recording like it should have at 7:57 but when American Idol started it took over the digital tuner. I don't have the log since I made a change to the config and the log file was reset. But I did see a line in the GBPVRRecordingService.exe-native.log before it was reset showing:
VERBOSE BDASubmitTuningRequestAlways is true. Forcing...
Could this be to blame for taking over the recording?
After working fine for many months, a dvd player(Philips DVP3960) connected to an lcd tv(Magnavox 42MF531D/37) with an hdmi cable has developed the following symptoms: it will play for about 20 seconds, then the screen turns to static and the sound mutes. If you disconnect the hdmi cable at the dvd player, then plug it back in, the static is still there. If you disconnect the tv end of the hdmi cable, then plug it back in, the video and sound return for about 20 seconds, then a message pops up saying "non-hdcp compliant display", then the picture turns to static.
Does this sound like a cable/connector problem? I can't think why it should have gone bad, because it hasn't been moved or jiggled or stressed in any way, prior to my connecting and disconnecting it for troubleshooting purposes, as mentioned above.
I have since disconnected the hdmi cable entirely, and am using a component cable instead, which is working just fine. However, since the hdmi cable cost nearly as much as the dvd player, it is frustrating not to be able to use it!
