I downloaded to temp directory which I use for all my downloads on Firefox. Yesterday I deleted GBPVRxxxx.msi file which is the installer package you deliver GBPVR in. Next day when I re-started my machine it all of a sudden started to look after installer and then stopped working. Do I need to keep installer in the same directory as GBPVR itself or will it just un-pack, register all file and then you are free to delete MSI?
Directory structure:
O:\ (for all temp downloads)
G:\ (for all media related application like GBPVR)
I have seen several posts which refer to issues relating to LogMeIn. For those who do not know LogMeIn (http://www.logmein.com) is a tool to remotely control a computer (similar to Remote Desktop Connection). It has a free version which is sufficient for my needs and works with XP/Vista including the home versions.
I think this is the first time that I am posting a fix instead of a call for help so I am happy to do so and want to thank all of those who have helped me in the past. If this happens to be duplicate and this fix is known then I apologize. I did a search in these forums and saw some calls for help but no fixes.
My experience was that PVRX2 "seemed" to lock up when started over a LogMeIn connection. The program window's border and title would appear but not the main body of the program and, to add insult to injury, GBPVR worked fine.
LogMeIn installs some sort of mirror video driver by default. It also uses this driver by default.
Open LogMeIn, connect to a computer, choose the Preferences option, choose the Remote Control Settings option ---> the first option on this page is "Use mirror display driver".
I unchecked this option and the issue went away. PVRX2 displayed and functioned fine while connecting remotely via LogMeIn.
I cannot guarantee that this will fix your issue. But, I was very happy to find that it fixed mine and hope that it does fix your.
I'm near the Oxford, UK, DVB-T transmitter and the BDA ini file for Oxford has the correct frequencies in it. It finds quite a few channels. However, my signal strength for two of the muxs (29 and 34) is quite low. I can watch TV channels from these muxs OK directly through other PVR software (I've tested OK with Media Portal), but it seems like the signal strength is low enough that the GBPVR tuning assistant ignores the channels in these muxs completely.
Is there any way, please, to adjust the sensitivity threshold when scanning for DVB channels? I'd like to be able to get all channels displayed, no matter their perceived signal strength and quality.
Hope my mux/channel terminology is correct. I'm using a dual-tuner Pinnacle PCI DVB-T card (all detected by GBPVR OK) and version 1.1.5 of GBPVR. I've tried setting BDAScanType to 2, but unfortunately no extra channels were found.
Thanks very much. I'd love to carry on using GBPVR - we had much success with it in conjunction with XMLTVNZ when we lived in NZ!
The card works with its own software albeit jerkily and the software has no front end to speak of just a basic set of wnidows dialogue boxes that look awful.
First off, I'll be posting the logs later. I'm at work and didn't have time last night.
PVRX2 fse. By playing with different Audio & Video decoders /render's I can either get good vid but with the audio chopping about 22sec from start of Live Tv or good sound and vid chopping. CPU is about 19-25% With no apparent spikes around when the problem starts. Deinterlacing set to none. Tried passthru but no diffent. Recordings work fine. Also If I pause when the stuttering starts for about 5-10 sec and the contine playing, all works fine.
However, if I run GBPVR I can get perfect sound and vid. Did a one hour test, no prob.
BTW, I get the low signal popup on first start of Live TV in PVRX2, but not in GBPVR. I have the play all patch for some days ago. I beleive this should have the pop up stopper?
I would like to request the feature that has sub making his forum signature say "Zip and attach the logs and I'll take a look." because he says it so often that he should not have to type it any more !!! :o :p
OK, my basic install is up and running well and now I can see some of the things I'd like to work a little differently. I'm left a little confused by the various plugin options etc. a few pointers to send me on my way might help. So suggestions please for couple of things i'd like to do
1. I'd like to automatically transcode the MPEG files to Xvid (can happen overnight)
2. I'd like to be able to automatically/batch rename files with more descriptive titles (say episode name or whatever if this can be culled from the EPG say) - as other programs will access the recorded files.
