I installed version 1.1.5 and now all channels above 800 are not recognized. Initially they said "no show data" in the guide. I manually downloaded the XMLTV file and checked it - the show data is there. I emptied my EPG and reloaded EPG, same result. I removed all channels, emptied the EPG, reloaded EPG, now the channels above 800 don't even show up as being associated with the tuner/available. Channels below 800 are fine. Any suggeestions?
It would be great if there was a plugin kind of like Net radio that allowed tuning to FTA satelite music channels. I would like just to be able to pick a station and listen to it. No recording would be needed. This type of plugin would be great for video as well. This would allow watching of channels without having to map EPGs which can be a pain in NA. I know this is not a PVR thing, but it would add another level of function. Thinking about it, if we could just have an interface in PVRX2 like is used when you preview the channels for mapping in config.
For a long time now I quite often get the situation where the mvpmc dongle just loops from pinging to rebuilding to pinging......... It seems to happen if the recording service is stopped and restarted. I had to unplug the mvp to reload the dongle before it would connect again.
This happened today and I got the looping at 08:07:44. The attached log shows an error at the time in question.
Just wanted to say thanks again for your time and efforts. This project is your baby, but many people benefit from your work. Your application is well designed and easy to use (on basic level). There is a lot of features that I cannot figure out how to use them at the moment, even though, they are look very promising and interested, but give me a time and Iâll get there. I found myself spending more and more time on forum and wi-ki and would like to master the application on a user level.
I made a small donation today and hope other folks will keep up with a holiday spirit and contribute as well.
This may come out sounding kind of strange, but is there any way I can insert a compressor into the audio stream?
The dynamic range between channels and also between program content and advertisements is driving me crazy. I know I could accomplish this with a hardware solution (insert a stereo compressor before going to my amplifier) but I was hoping to do this in the software realm.
Does anyone understand what I am talking about or have any advice to share? I'm sick of grabbing the remote to perform drastic volume changes. I just want even sound levels.
today I'v switched to 1.1.15 (+ survival patches).
With the new version I cant get the multidec support to work. I can watch fta channels but if I try to watch a encrypted channel the softcam seems not to be called (no Icon pops up in tray) and after some seconds black screen it jumps back to epg (mvp).
A friend of mine said he will give me his iMac G5 if I remove the hard drive and give it to him.
This is an all-in-one type machine where everything is built into the monitor. He bought a new machine because this one was malfunctioning.
He said it was taking 10-20 minutes to boot and even then would require multiple re-boots to start up. When it finally started some of the icons were grayed-out and unavailable. Sounds like a sick hard drive or a virus to me.
Has anyone taken one of these things apart? I would not expect removing a hard drive to be difficult but I know diddly squat about Apple.
The machine has a 20 inch LCD. At worst I'm hoping I can somehow use the monitor without the Apple guts.
I'm a little worried about experimenting with Apple products. Will I start wearing Birkenstocks? Will I wake up one morning with dreadlocks? Will I become a Phish fan??
I have a couple recurrent issues with the scheduler.
1) entries in the future, in the TV Guide, showing properly as "red". If I try to cancel them, sometime they do seem to be canceled, but the red mark doesn't go out unless I quit the guide and then re-enter it.
2) looking at the "pending' recordings, I noticed that I had several entries that were 2 days past, but still showing as pending, didn't seem to record. I can't delete these from the pending list, selecting delete does not produce the "confirm" box, just pops back to the PVRX2 mail menu. Similarly for "updating" the recordings, I tried updating the quality and saving, then canceling, or updating then just canceling. The change in quality seems to stick. Oh and when navigation the pending list with bad items, sometimes one is skipped if I'm navigating up and down, and if I leave the selection on the 3rd or 4th down, after a few seconds it pops to the top without my pressing anything (I have hauled the remote keyboard out of range just to test).
I can delete the bad entries from the EWA, they show up as failed there. Once they are gone, all works normally- until the next time one shows up (2nd time for this in 3 days).
Start/stop gbpvr and recording service, no change. Reboot the computer, the ones that "failed" to be removed are now gone, but deleting a pending recording again does not remove it from the pending list.
It's not 100% failure to delete pending recordings, sometimes, after a reboot, I can delete a few items then one gets messed up per above.
1.1.5, no patches added as none of the posted ones seemed to apply to me yet. I did patch the previous version with the patch for popup dialog errors, and I did go back and delete and recreate most of my recurring programs; but the issues above aren't all recurring; could be I have one left from 1.0.16 era. I guess I'll delete all recurrers and recreate just in case that has something to do with it.
I did add SearchWiz2 recently, but none of the recordings having problems were created with SearchWiz. I can delete the problem ones via EWA, which seems to be the best temporary fix.
I've zipped a log and will upload it momentarily once I VNC into the server. I did zip up the whole /gbpvr that matches the log if you want me to pull other files.
Can anyone explain how to configure GB (latest version) to record to DivX? I just replaced my older MVP units with the newer MVP 1000 units that supposedly can play DivX.
On GB's Config->Processing tab, I see Conversion Processing settings - they seem like they would be useful to convert from one format to another - after the recording has completed.
Using PVRX2 (or the GB menus on my MVP) I see a Transcode option listed on the recording options screen (entered from TV Guide). One of the Transcode choices is DivX. Exactly what happens if I change it from "No TRanscoding" to "DivX"? Will it record it directly as a DivX file? Does the Config->Processing settings interact with this Transcode at all?
first of all i wanted to say thanks for this cool software. I spend the last few days getting everything to work together and have the following specs:
* Asrock K7VT2 (socket a) board
* Athlon 1400 XP CPU
* 512mb DDR-Ram
* Creative geforce 3 ti500
* Hauppauge PVR-150 (non-mce)
* D-Link DWL-g510 NIC
* 80gb Maxtor HDD (just temporary)
* Windows XP MCE'05
* Hauppauge Drivers (4.0 CD) from hauppauge.co.uk
* "legacy" NVidia drivers for the gfx-card
* RaLink Drivers for the NIC
* Nvidia PureVideo Decoder
* TV-Movie Clickfinder (yes, germany)
* tvm2xml (to make the xml file)
There were a couple of problems related to channel order and epg output aswell as TV-out issues. all of them solved so far.
on to the questions...
how can i edit the main menu in pvrx2 ? i used "plugins" in the Config tab and disabled everything i didnt want, but f.e. "Exit" is still listed in the mainmenu. funny thing is that changes made here get through 100% if i use the gbpvr.exe. It would be nice to just be able to edit the main menu, tipps on that are appreciated.
also im looking into a way to modify the bios/cmos "wake on time" setting to have the computer soft-off and wakeup a few minutes before a recording, tipps are appreciated on this aswell !
