When I playback my recordings through the MVP, the picture is too wide for the screen. About 10% of the picture is lost on both sides. I have MVP players on both 16:9 and 4:3 tvs, and the problem seems to be on both. These are the aspect ratio amd mvp settings in my config.xml. Not sure what, if anything, I should change.
Ok, with that out of the way, I'm trying to find out how to switch from pvrx2.exe to gbpvr.exe. In searches, I keep seeing people say they switched, but not how.
I recently upgraded to 1.1.5 from .98.13, and am having a couple issues that I don't like. For instance, in a 3 hour recording there was a lot of boring stuff at the beginning so I would FF to about an hour in. Unfortunately, after 10 or so FF's, the key would stop responding. I'd have to stop the playback, restart it, hit resume, then I could continue FF'ing about 10 more times before it did it again.. and again.
This is all on an MVP, BTW, so it's not the quickest thing in the world anyway.
Can some help me out by posting what your graph looks like when working with nvidia purevideo. I installed it, it worked great (reduced my CPU usage for some reason by like 10-15% even though I have an old AGP ATI card) but when I reboot it put everything back to cybervideo.
I tried building a graph, but when I try to connect from the purevideo decoder to the VMR video renderer it says 'no way dude.' Purevideo is putting out UYVY and the video renderer is probably expecting something else.
The original file is a .dvr-ms file but I'll take a .ts graph as well if anyone has it since I'm still comparing the two. Alternatively, I could take a suggestion as to what to put between the purevideo output and the VMR input to make this work.
I just got my GBPVR Server setup yesturday and love the software. Just have a couple newbie questions...
Is there a way to bring up the guide and still have my live tv or recorded show in the background? And when you go to the guide still have the show in the corner playing, or is this a wishlist item?
Also did anybody get anything setup on the DigiGuide for GBPVR? (scheduling recordings online away from the home network?)
Also, how well does the MVP work for streaming? I'm looking to put one in my bedroom, and I want to know if this will work well for a Tivo replacement.. (my wife is stuck on the Tivo and I want to make the transistion easy...) I also see that you can do some skins for the MVP rather than the bland Hauppuage background, is this correct? Anybody's thoughts, or opinions?
My family is moving to a house and will have to leave my analog cable setup behind (Hauppauge PVRUSB2) or at least hoping to do so. Instead I am now looking into DVB-T with CI support. I have been looking at FireDTV box (digital-everywhere) but reading the forums it does not seem that GBPVR has CI support. And the last thing I want to do is to leave GBPVR or my wife will leave me :eek:
Since I trust this forum more than my mother I am now seeking advise. What options do I have to get the setup I want? I still would like the turner to be external since my small shuttle SB61G2v3 dont have any more room or it will melt.
Ahhh, and i am also looking into this new popcorn thingy, but thats another story....I see sub and others are making progress in that area.
Hi as i can see you have had a large number of posts with problems about the EPG with GBPVR, well im afraid here is another , i have had my TV card for 3 months or so, it works perfectly fine with the WinTV program, i just really dislike the GUI of it, and decided to use GBPVR, which also works perfectly fine, and has a much better look and feel to it, i just CANNOT seem to get the EPG to work, and i have tried everything i have come across, i have tried using external programs using XML files, i have tried what it says in the survival guide, i have heaved through pages upn pages of google searches and unfortunatly not came across anything :confused: so i have brought my problems to people who know what there doing, what it is, is that when i try to view the EPG it gives me printscreen01 (attached) and i dont know how to get it to show the EPG, i have also attached my config.exe.log file and my config.exe-native.log file in the hope that someone could help?
I’ve been using GBPVR for a month. Overall, has been working great for me. I’m thinking of upgrading to HVR-1600. I have been reading contradicting information concerning this card. So I’m hoping the experts on this forum can help me. Does this support HDTV or only digital and analog! Support Cable HDTV!
here's a way to have the spectrum analyzer work for all audio coming out of your machine..
Requires Winamp, LCD Smartie, lcd smartie winamp plugin.. http://lcdsmartie.sourceforge.net/winampplugin.html [pics are here]
Works with all audio, even netradio! videos, live tv, everything..
[ok, so no SPDIF but you can render to both and it'll show]
Install winamp, make sure to install 'Line-in' plugin with it..
open it, in preferences,check 'autostart visualization on play', select smartie plugin on visualization tab, and close.
Install smartie and make sure working with your display.
copy the plugin .dll's to respective programs :[one in smartie plugins, one in winamp]
startup winamp with "start /min winamp.exe linein://"
open your sound card's mixer, goto 'recording' inputs from menu.. select "stereo mix", close mixer... [it may have different name,look in smartie winamp plugin docs,eg: wave mix]
look at smartie-winamp plugin's sample .ini for suggested lines for smartie..
pick one and set in smartie screens..
mine is: $dll(winamp,1,1x5,u#1)
[creates a 1 line x 5 char spectrum graph]
of course i have more stuff on that line tho...[free hd space/cpu, gbpvr info, etc]
be sure to set the $dll refresh speed to around 50 or lower for fast response.. [misc tab]
This might be a little specific, but it seems very easy to add. Many video files contain multiple audio tracks, and although you can switch between these in dvd mode with ctrl+g, you cannot while viewing videos in your own collection. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to hear his foreign tv videos on their dubbed track.
Hi, I'm new here, and I'm very new to recording programs through my computer. I've been using a DVD recorder with a hard drive, but the burner on it died. So I'm starting something new. I promise I'm not stupid, but I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing currently and am on a VERY steep learning curve. I was just telling my husband that all this stuff is like a foreign language to me.
Here is my situation. I homeschool my children, and we use a video-based curriculum that is broadcast via satellite. We have a satellite dish and receiver that is designed solely to receive the classes. The receiver has 4 channels and an EPG and timer within the receiver, so it changes channels based on what class is being broadcast when. When I was using my DVR, I would set it to record on L1 (the input location where I had the satellite connected) and that was it - the receiver would change to whatever channel it needed to be on to record the appropriate class.
So I have the receiver connected to my tuner (I have a Hauppage HVR 1600) via a composite connection.
We don't have cable or a satellite for TV - just antenna at this time. But we really aren't needing to hook the antenna up to the Hauppage since we have the DVR. I may end up switching in the future, but I figure I'll get used to one thing at a time.
Since I'm not using anything with real channels and am just needing to record that one "channel," how in the world do I need to configure this thing??? :confused: Everything I can find on the wiki is geared toward recording several different channels. I don't really need the EPG either.
Is there a way to set up manual start/stop times?
I know a fair amount about computers but not about all this media stuff, so go slow with me.
