I have a basic question... I love Movie Wizard. I have set it up and used it for some MPEG movies I pulled from DVD to make my "digital archive". What I would like to do is keep all the menus and functionality of the DVD and use Movie Wizard to organize it. The Video Library feature (built in to GBPVR) will play a "folder" I ripped from a DVD (using DVD Shrink for example). Does or will Movie Wizard have the ability to play the same folders? I hope that's enough detail, but let me know if you need more... Thanks!
OK, first of all I take idiot pills, they are prescription.
I have been using a few different versions of GBPVR over the last year, and have been successful in getting it to work pretty well. The learning curve is a bit steep, but I'm getting there, I hope.
I upgraded about a month, or two ago, from 99.(something) to 1.0.16 (is that right?). Sometime in the last two weeks (I noticed it today), I can no longer get video in Live TV, or from the TV guide when I select "watch". I upgraded to 1.1.15 tonight, in hopes that would fix the problem (clean install), and it did not fix it.
What's strange is that if I click pause, the picture all of a sudden appears, and I can watch in time-shift mode. All scheduled recordings work fine. Is it possible that this is a problem with playback codecs, drivers, or Sub's EXCELLENT application (GBPVR is wonderful, Thanks Sub)? Or, is this just bizarre?
It's not a show stopper, but, not knowing much about how live tv is rendered, I am not sure what steps to take. I'd zip the logs, and attach, except, I am not sure what setting is necessary to record the proper logs.
edit: I am running XPsp2 + MS Patches on an Athalon 4000+ 64 (32-bit mode) w/1 GB RAM, and 1 TB drive space, an nvidia FX6600 video card, and 3 PVR-150 Hauppage capture cards. I am pretty certain that the system has plenty of horsepower to do the task, but, who knows... the system is dedicated to the entertainment center, and performs no other tasks.
(Hint: I installed Windows Media Player 11 a few days ago, because I was having issues with closed captioning playing back DVD's. -- I could not get CC to go away. I'm pretty sure it wasn't GBPVR's problem as I could make a second set of CC's appear on top of the others by manipulating the hauppage remote buttons.)
All my recordings and my live tv are being shown in widescreen. I checked the config and it's set to 4:3. Anyone have any ideas, or is a log file needed?
Channel changing in LiveTV is slow - I understand why and its a lot quicker than other products ...
However one way to make it easier for a hardcore channel clipper is to have a "Channel Browse" mode aka MythTV. When activated changing channels in LiveTV just pops up the OSD and flicks it to the different channels, allowing you to see whats on. Hitting Ok on the remote actually changes to the current OSD channel.
we've discovered that our library stocks a good set of DVDs. We just reserve them online and a steady stream come in weekly and it's been great. Lately however, we've been getting a slew of DVDs that we can't seem to play on our HTPC setup (plays half way then breaks up or freezes). I think this is due to scratches. I was wondering if getting a stand alone DVD player would up our chances of being able to view these movies. I don't really want to buy a stand alone player but if it means being able to watch these movies we'll invest in one.
The reviews are pouring in and it's almost unanimous that the concert last night was a total success! As a long time rock music fan,(only seen them twice and once was not so good), and a person who is getting old, it's good that this was such a good concert. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sho...567260.ece
"Play All" in default music library on MVP only plays the first song. I'm running gbpvr 1.1.5 on Win2K with wireless MVP hooked to the TV. I installed the patch at http://forums.gbpvr.com/showpost.php?p=2...ostcount=2, but saw no effect. I turned on debug logging, but see no log entry for the first song that gets played, so I'm not sure where to look for more details. Any ideas?
If a channel is found more than once, only keep the one with the highest strength and quality. Also, a filter which can be set to only display channels where strength and quality is above chosen values.
