I tried the streched setting, and the manual config args. It won't fill the screen.
Also, the big thing is, when I go from GameZone, it starts, then PVRX2 is re-focused with the game running in the background. Kind tough for a remote only setup.
I've seen several people offer suggestions of using FFMPEG to provide various formats to MVPs on the fly. I would love to dig in and figure out all the ins and outs, but I just can't seem to find the time.
So, I put it out to the community, could we put together a guide to get FFMPEG set up to provide what we need? Like, if we backed up a Home video DVD and wanted to stream it to the MVP. (Or other DVD that would be legal to do this with) what would be the steps?
Also, some have posted that VLC can do this sort of stuff, for things like web videos/streams, again, could this information be collected into one place?
There seem to be a lot of people who have hibernation problems, where the computer will not wake, but my computer will not go back into hibernate after recordings. this happened only in the last few days. It will wake from hibernate, just won't go back. Out of the following things I have done please please can someone advise me or know which is most likely in their experience:
-SearchWiz2X latest update.
-Wiz Utilities- Show Image Graber, Episode tweaker
-Change to off air broadcast epg in config.
-gbepg patch for Epg update files left over.
-MS Fix: Video Mixer Renderer (VMR) incorrectly scales anamorphic content
Or any other overall fix are welcome as suggestions.
Hibernation settings are all unchanged and set for 20 mins. Any way I can check for any bugs in my computer that is keeping processor active?
I recently upgraded to PVRx2 and at the same time switched over to the OTA listings (in the UK).
Just before christmas MY EPG update stopped working properly. The EPG was full of shows but ones that said no Details. I tried manually updating the EPG but it finished almost instantly and did not scan anything. I had to leave it for a week while I went on holiday and when I came back still the same problem. I eventually solved it by deleting all the epg files from my recordings folder. I today found the patch here
Hi I have finally made GB-PVR to work with my ExpressCard Pinnacle PCTV 320x tuner. It's working fine, I searched for channels and I can watch them without any problem, but the reason why I installed GB-PVR is the support for recording subs. I have ordered few TV shows on Blu-ray and HD DVD without Czech subs. I hate amateur subs because of bad translations and there are no Czech DVD versions here. All I want is to capture the teletext subs and then edit ripped Blu-ray and HD DVD and add those subs to the rips.
But he recording to SRT doesn't work. I have checked "teletext" and "capture teletext sub...". I have also inserted the 888 page numrber in the channel setup. No subs are shown during watching TV, even if I enable SRT viewer. The teletext is working, I even went to the page 888 manually and the subs are shown, but only when viewing teletext. I read somewhere in the forums that the subs are not working on Vista (I have 32bit Home Premium) because of WST Codec Filter which is replaced in the newest Microsoft OS by VBICodec. Is there some way to instal WST codec manually (and download it somewhere?)? Or is there any other way how can I record teletext subs? I just need the subs. For example is there some recording software that would record video + audio + teletext subs which I would be able to extract later in ProjectX? I tried MediaCenter which allows me to record video+audio+subs to the DVR-MS format but ProjectX can't read that format properly. I need TS with audio+video+subs or some advice how to get teletext subs working in GB-PVR. Thx
I have two Angel Usb tuners. I Have two source setups. They are set as capture card one and two. The tray icon says i have two separate tuners and it makes an attempt to use them both. However when i try to record a show and watch a show at the same time it can never make use of the second tuner. If i disconnect one tuner then start Gbpvr it will open live tv and allow me to watch it no matter wich card is unplugged . It is as if it thinks they two cards are one. How do i get it to see that i have two separate tuners and use them independently ?
Preamble - as before, this post is targeted to anime collectors / viewers only. It will not offer much (well, anything) to mainstream movie & video watchers. While I've no doubt that news will leave most of you devastated, try to struggle on.
Next - an open thank you! to psicotron3 who, over the past three weeks, has helped me identify number of bugs, and, just as importantly, has been no small help in working through a number of usability stumbling blocks. Program flow and operation is easier now than it was on the tenth, thanks largely to his input. (Including gently, yet persistently, convincing me that he didn't care HOW much work I had put into the progress bar, it had to go.)
So - I'm now opening the plug-in up for testing by anybody who wants to give it a try. Again, I'm not sure how large my audience is, but a couple more users poking at it would be a treat and leave me feeling better about the application overall.
You'll need to have:
Some anime files in your collection
An account at anidb.net (or willing to sign up).
PVRX2 1.1.5 (as before, the previous version will work, but you will have to manually move a file into plugins/common).
The ability to stumble your way around a computer
Patience with software that has bugs.
The anidb.net account is a requirement, as the plug-in integrates heavily with the anidb database to retrieve anime, episode, and file details.
A full installer is included, thanks largely to a script provided by JavaWiz, so you will not have to do a lot of fussing about getting files to their right homes. Double-click and go.
Skin files for Blue-Retro-SHV (provided by psicotron3) are also part of the package. I'm going to do my very best to avoid any further skin changes in an effort to keep him from lynching me.
Regarding feature requests - I'm willing to entertain them (tell them jokes and such), but not for this version. Presently, my goal is to get the plug-in as well behaved and as bug-free as possible, so my attention will be focused on bug fixes, testing, and usability. Once this version has been wikified and seems stable, then I will be able to turn to new features.
First drafts of the documentation will be posted here first and added to the Wiki later after editing.
Again, this is directed towards anime viewers only. The plugin is not suitable for general media.
Once more, thanks all!
Edit: I'm sneaking this in here for the moment. The installer can be found here for anybody that wants to give it a go. This is probably, barring any last-minute discoveries, the version that will be posted to the wiki. Stable as far as I know.
I've been running a GBPVR box in my living room for a few months now. It works great, so I decided to set up a client box (a PIII, 400MHz dual-processor PC with 512MB RAM, running Windows 2000).
Config runs fine, but when I try to start pvrx2.exe, I get the following error (when I try to start the other frontend - sorry, but I forget the name of the executable - the splash screen displays, then nothing happens and the program shuts down):
Quote:************** Exception Text **************
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I've enclosed both the full text of the error (as reported by .NET), and the log file. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
