I find the info in the wiki rather sparse and I just cannot get it to function. I created the xml to give the order of importance of the shows and I set them in the scheduler but they are not working.
I just purchased a new OEM MCE remote. I attached it to a Windows XP laptop and it recognized it right away and works well with GB-PVR.
But the Start button doesn't seem to do anything. Is there anyway to program it to launch GB-PVR or to bring it to the foreground? It only works with GB-PVR if the program is "in focus".
I am looking for a piece of software that will schedule recording. Not using a guide. Old school VCR type, start at 1pm end at 3pm. Any suggestions would be great.
I was using Manage Recordings to have a look at all the goodies that Auto-Record found for me over the holiday period (quite a few ), so I was playing with the Pending, In Progress, Available, etc check boxes...
Lots of clicking and screen refreshes needed to switch between everything selected and just one option selected...
A combo box listing each option along with 'All', 'None' and 'Default' would be pretty neat... although extra check boxes with 'All', 'None' and 'Default' would work too. (but this is only if you're really looking for something to do )
I've updated the alpha dongle with a minor change so those with the older remote could benefit a bit from hot keys. The following Go + Keys are new I tried to match a letter to the function
Go Chan Up Previous Channel
Go 4 G - Guide
Go 5 L - Live TV
Go 6 M - Music
Go 7 P - Pictures
Go 8 V - Videos
Go 9 - Radio
Although I didn't make any other changes from the previous alpha I tested this for two hours straight with video and livetv and was severe on the remote and I could not duplicate the dead remote. I checked my logs and I hit the remote 952 times
I've used GB-PVR since 2003 with Hauppauge PVR-150 and later with HVR-1300. Now I need IPTV support. I've searched WiKi and forums, but can't find any IPTV related info. Does GB-PVR (PVRX2) has any IPTV plugins available?
Currently my TV provider is providing TV via ADSL2+ ATM packets as multicast IPTV. My router does ATM -> Ethernet conversion and provides me MPEG2TS and/or AVC (in MPEG-TS) streams in IGMP multicast packets. All GB-PVR is needed to subscribe to ie. 239.3.1.1 UDP:1234 stream and there is already MPEG2TS. There are some utilities available utilizing VLC, but I'm big fan of GBPVR. Is there any possibility to use GB-PVR for this? :-)
I finally got everything working and now I have an issue. As I was shutting down my computer, Windows hung up on something. Looking back, it may have had something to do with the fact I might have been in the middle of recording something. Well, after waiting for a few minutes, i turned off my computer the old fashioned way. After restarting, I can no longer watch anything on PVRX2. If I click on the guide and try and watch a channel, the screen goes black for a couple seconds then goes back to the guide. If I try and watch Live TV, same thing. If I try to play music through Net Radio, nothing happens. Did I screw something up? I've attached my logs.
WinTV does work fine so the tuner is obviously working fine.
In SD, GBPVR has a very flickery image, sort of like the recording is at 15fps. I get some distortion in the middle of the screen, sort of like the image is torn in half. It isn't always there, but there sometimes. VLC nor Windows Media Player have this problem. When using VLC, the processor usage is around 6%, in WMP it's around 12-15%.
In HD, using GBPVR I get pauses within the stream, and the same issue of the frame rate being odd, but not as off as SD. Jumpy, jittery pauses. WMP has the same problem. Processor is at or near 100% all the time. Sounds seems to be a little off, also. If I use VLC, the processor hovers around 50% or less depending on the content, and the jittering is gone. The image isn't as good though, full motion images show some aliasing around the edges in VLC. Sound still gets out of sync with VLC, so I wonder if that's not a recording issue.
I've tried all the normal things, last thing I tried was turning off all the 3D image improvements within the video card, but that actually made matters worse.
I've tried the Cyberlink and ATI video decoder. they both seem to have the same issues.
Changing the audio decoder does not seem to matter, either.
My hardware is listed below. Fire away at questions, I'm running out of ideas. I've attached the logs.
I have a few questions about using MVP. I replaced the dongle that came with GBPVR with the latest MVPMC dongle 0.3.4 i believe was the version number. This version says it supports flac however i cannot get flac to work through mvp. Another issue i have is that TV stutters when playing..cuts in and out etc.. BTW I am using the wireless version of MVP. I dont think it is a bandwidth issue because i can play avi's fine and from what i understand this uses more resources than TV. I appreciate any help in both these matters.
