I want to, at 1 am or something, transcode the day's recordings (comskipped already too) into xvid. I THINK i have a handle on that since there are many good posts, but something nice an easy to spell it out would be good .

The real purpose of the post is to figure out if there's a way for the transcoded file to show up in recordings and show all the show info and pictures. That's my main question. Maybe there's a plugin to do this already. Movie wizard comes to mind, but I'd like to not use that because I use that for my archived movies. I would like something separate for recordings.

thanks

Hello

Which of these remotes are best? they seem to do very much the same.

Two features I would like to have is.

1 - Being able to transmit a signal to my stereo and tv to turn it on.

2 - Wake from standby with the help of this tool http://www.xs4all.nl/~hveijk/mst/indexe.htm

This is a home automation remote:

Hi,

My gbpvr/MediaMVP won't play the AVIs that come from my digital camera (MJPG codec, Canon camera). The PC does have the codec, and does play the AVIs ok. Not sure why gbpvr/MediaMVP can't. Is it because I need a DirectShow filter for it, besides the codec? Does anybody have a pointer? I found this: http://dshow.narod.ru/ but no MJPG entries mention a DirectShow filter.

Maybe AVISynth could be used? I actually entered this as a feature request / suggestion.

Thanks,

Hi,

I have a MJPG codec installed but gbpvr won't play AVIs encoded in MJPG in my MediaMVP. Is it because I not only need the codec, but also a DirectShow filter?

May I suggest that gbpvr use AviSynth to automatically provide a DirectSHow filter for codecs that do not have one? I am pretty sure it is one of the things it does.

BTW, where can I get a DirectSHow filter for MJPG then? I'd like to watch the videos from my digital camera with gb-pvr/mediamvp.

Thanks for listening.

Hi,

I have gbpvr pointing at the dir where I download pictures&movies from my Canon digital camera (which has many subdirs). Some dirs have just pictures, some have just movies (AVI), some have both. It is annoying to see lots of folders, go in, and see no entries.

What if VideoLibrary would check and only display the folders that indeed have videos in them?

The symetrical feature request is: When in ImageLibrary, folders that do not have images should be filtered out (in my case, folders that have videos from the camera but no pictures). Same idea as above.

Thanks a lot for the software!

Streaming of my recordings?!
Scheduling is beautiful... I filter by movie... and pretty quick I think I'm gonna need a Terabyte drive!
Did I mention STREAMING!!! OVER THE WEB!!!

GBPVR, for me, has been a learning big curve. But I'm starting to really feel I wouldn't be able to live without it. It just took some time to get into it.

Here comes a donation sub, sorry it took so long.

I have just finished developing a little utility to allow create gbpvr recording-dump.xml files with the meta-data from dvr-ms files created by windows media center. Please play around with it and let me know what you think.

From the Readme.txt

This is a simple application for outputting the meta-data from dvr-ms files recorded by Windows Media Center to the xml format required for importing recordings into gb-pvr. This may work with dvr-ms recordings from other programs but I do not have any other recordings to test this with. It will import recordings in the READY state without and uids

Because dvr-ms files have no meta-data that says when they were recorded, you have the option of using the creation date of the file or the original broadcast date from the meta-data.

I can offer a limited amount of support if this program doesn't work for you. Either find me in the GB-Pvr forums or email me on Chris.S.Smart@ntlworld.com If it does break for you, I would like to hear about it, I also welcome feedback and improvement suggestions but I can't promise to implement them.

The program uses functionality from Toub.MediaCenter.Dvrms.dll kindly provided by Stephen Toub of Microsoft Corporation.


Now for the boring bit:

This application is provided 'AS-IS' with no warranty. As of compilation it has no spyware, adware, viruses etc. If it breaks your recordings, computer, house, pets, etc I cannot be held responsible!

I'd like to build my PVR, but need some help or advice.
I have dish network with a 625 box that is downstairs. I have one TV downstairs and one upstairs. The 625 controls both televisions.

I have Windows XP home SP2. I need help with hardware setup.

What Capture Card would you recommend for use with Dish Network, especially the 625. Has anyone had success with this setup?

Also, do I need another remote control or will my dish network remote work?

If you could tell me what hardware you are using with your dish network setup and the pros/cons of your setup.

Thanks,
Jeff

Out of curiousity, how many of us out there are using .net3 with PVRX2? Any problems or errors?
