Hi just wondering is there any settings i can change to optimize my network. Most of the time it works great but now and then I get stuttering.
My system is a pentium 4 3000 and I`m running 2 MVP`s via homeplugs, I get 70+ on each homeplug, and my computer will even allow to transcode 2 xvids on the fly at 98%.
I`m planning on putting a 3rd MVP, so just curious if I can optimize the network at all?
Does it support m4a files ? ( Produced by ITunes with AAC encoder )
Can anyone tell me what I have to do to get them included in Music Library 2 :confused: ?
These are the steps I took as adivised in the Wiki to no avail :mad::
1. Taglib libraries - Installed taglib-sharp.dll and polict.2.0.tagglib-shrp.config and policy.2.0.taglib-sharp.dll .
2. Placed in PlugIns/MusicLibrary2 .
3. Nuked library and Rescanned.
Version 6.7 Tag Readers
As of version 6.7 external tag readers have been introduced. There are two to choose from
UltraID3Lib - this is a very good, MP3 only tag reader. It supports album art within mp3 files and can be downloaded from http://home.fuse.net/honnert/hundred/ Tablib-sharp - this library handles almost anything you can throw at it, and also handles embedded album art. Available from http://www.taglib-sharp.com/Main_Page.
Both of these libraries are placed in the gbpvr\plugins\MusicLibrary2 directory.
Does GBPVR play m4a files ?
( such as those produced when importing with ITunes using the AAC encoder. )
Anyone know how to get GBPVR to play these?
When I attempt to play these files with the Music Library in GBPVR nothing happens. I see from the pvrx2 error logs that there are memory exceptions firing whilst attempting to read the album art ?
Very occasionally the following SQL query code throws an Exception.Message "Failed to enable constraints. One or more rows contain values violating non-null, unique, or foreign-key constraints."
Last weekend Beloved turned off our mediacenter by pressing the power-button, which switches the machine to standby. She actually wanted to run it on, but didn't look at the display (shows clock when turned on). Unfortunately, there were two programs being recorded, which are now a bit messed up. Good thing is, she realizes it's her own fault and doesn't complain to me
Then she asked me: "how can I see that it is recording?" and my answers are a bit vague at best (we're using PVRx2):
* the hard-disk light is blinking at a steady rate
* it is shown when looking at the pending recordings
Is there another, better way to check this? I know that GB-PVR showed recording status on the main menu. Is it possible to get this in PVRx2 as well?
I've just installed GB-PVR v1.15 onto Windows XP SP4
I'm running a Hauppauge WINTV Nova-T
When I try to set up a Capture Source, I select BDA Recording Plugin, and the Nova-T 90002 is listed in the settings as being found in my machine.
Yet, when I try to get the EPG Broadcast, I get no channels returned; and when I try to Map digital channels, the scan returns nothing.
I have managed to get channels listed in the EPG, by using an XMLTV grabber, but the scan still returns nothing
I can view all the channels fine using the Hauppauge software
As I'm now finally up and running with my DVB card, I now have to work through some more issues.
Remote behavior (logs attched):
Start PVRX2 with green button, remote works fine in all menus etc. Start Live TV and remote stops working, use mouse to exit Live TV. Remote works again in Menu screens etc, start Live TV again and remote works!
This I have tested many times. I have to go in and out of live TV to get the remote to work in Live TV. Looks like the remote bit gets shut out the first time the DVB card is connecting to a channel. (remember I'm running mutidec+card reader)
Recording: If I have 2 recordings in succession, the second recording will not work. It makes a file of the right size, just wont play it after the recording is finished. If one watches it while recording, it plays. I have checked both shows in WMP, the first plays, the second will not play. Wife not happy!
I also notices that if I watch a recording whike it is stil recording, the timeline at the tops show som strange behavior, the recoding time goes way too fast and a 45 min show shows about 2 hours! Like it is in a time warp!
Also, if one exits the above, and goes back in, resume does not go to the spot form were one exited. It goes to and ealier point!
I have not set conversion to anything yet and have the BDA multiplexer set to MS DVR-MS. I have read the sticky mux thead but are non the wiser. I will have to try some of the stuff as I have sync issues.
Config:
I would like to set the low signal popup delay in config to more the 5 secs. However after re-installing GBPVR, if I change the value and save GBPVR will not work and I have to revert to my backed up config.xml. All I'm doing is opening config.xml in notepad, changing the value from 5 to 8, saving, and exiting. It worked before! It's like its making the config file unreadable to GBPVR.
Martin, as part of the mvpmc project, has there been any thought as to whether there would be calls for a more smart client rather than a client for gbpvr that is force fed the interface?
Maybe something similar to the old gbpvr interface capable of running on smaller (or embedded linux) type hardware?
I know there is the mythtv interface, so that must use some smarts (db connections etc) would similar be possible for gbpvr?
I'm looking at one of these eee pcs - while it would tke mvpmc without too many problems (I assume), I also assume that it has enough grunt to run the UI stuff itself. I'll probably also ask sub if a cut down version of gbpvr could be maintained..
Because I can't run VNC on Vista this is running in a W2K virtual machine on Vista and I couldn't run pvrx2 and barely was only able to start gbpvr in overlay mode
The actual lag is in the video capture, the tv responds faster than the mvp. I'm also capturing the video on the same machine so nothing in this demo is "sales" oriented.
This is not emulation mode and it is not optimized at all, just zlib vnc.
