This is not a GBPVR problem or issue but there are lots of good brains here that may have the answer. I have been trying to stream video from a program (dvbdream) to VLC on another computer on my network. I am using UDP on port 1234. It has worked in the past, but now I get a message that says increase the MTU size. It was defaulted at 1500 and I upped it several times. Eventually (around 40000) the message goes away, but the video does not show up. Any ideas? I have no idea what MTU is. I set the receiving PC VLC and the Router to 1500 with no love. I get the same issue if I try to stream to localhost.

I am having issues with screen size.

On the host pc this is fine as it runs a 'huge' res.

however remotely on my laptop i only get 1024x768
I have found problems with the main screen, but primarily the program detail popup windows. is there any way a skin can be created for smaller players.

thanks

Can an option for when steaming.
To either:

1. Stream
   
2. Play Locally
   
3. Stream and Play Locally
   

Hey guys,

I currently have an NVidia 8800GT in my PC. It has 2 DVI outs and an S-Video out. I have 2 monitors on the PC, hooked up to the 2 DVI slots. If I hook up the TV to the S-Video slot, will I be able to run GB-PVR on the TV ("3rd monitor") while still having control of the PC from the 2 monitors? Or will the PC be unusable while GB-PVR is running even though it's not on the primary display?

Thanks,

Nic

Hello,
I've tried to play some divx files on my mvp (.divx) but this bails out and doesn't work.

If I take the file and change the extension to avi, which is more correct, it works fine.

Is this expected that .divx extension shouldn't work on the mvp?
On the pc it accepts the divx extension.

I know that .divx is an incorrect extension and it should be .avi but with so
many great features maybe there are logic for .divx..

I could post logs if needed,

Regards
Stefan

Been using 98.13b for ages now and I thought I would try the latest version

I was wondering if there was any way of getting the Video directories to
appear in the order in which they have been added ?

I tried adding 3 directories on 3 different drives , but the order got reversed
eg
Name Directory
Video L:\Video
Video2 G:\Video
Video3 K:\Video

Order appears in GB PVR
Video3
Video2
Video

I tried editing the config.xml to reverse the order but it made no difference.

Is there anyway around this problem ?

Thanks

I have created some tray icons.
The icons have to be placed in the gbpvr directory.
In notrecording state the icon "notrecording.ico" is used.
In recording state the icon "recording.ico" is used.
So make a backup copy or rename the old icons.
Rename the new icons which you want to use to "notrecording.ico" and "recording.ico" and restart the recordingservice.

Ever since I upgraded to 1.1.5 Gamezone automatically quits any game that I have been playing after 5 minutes.

I thought that my system was just screwed up, so I reformatted my drive and reinstalled xp.... same problem with 1.1.5.

Has anyone else run into this issue?

I have a 5.1 set of Creative Labs P5800 and want to extend the length of cable used by the 2 rear satellite speakers. What type of cable is required and is this even possible? I've attached a photo of the cable that comes off the speakers and into the sub-woofer.

Any help appreciated

I was playing around for a while and had a few issues getting FFMPEG to work. I though I'd share this in case anyone else was struggling as I was with files that were too large or aspect ratios that were weird. I then use Virtualdub to delete the adverts afterwards and this only takes a few seconds as it does not need to reencode the files.

I use Mencoder instead of ffmpeg as I can't get ffmpeg to create constant bitrate mp3s and average bitrate mp3s screw up the sound syncing when deleting parts of the file. I just renamed the original ffmpeg folder in the gbpvr folder, copied the mencoder folder in there and renamed it to ffmpeg and renamed mencoder.exe to ffmpeg.exe

This is the line of code I added to the config.xml file to have a new processing option (none of the others will now work unless the original ffmpeg is put back):-
