I've set up a client - server between my PC's to try it out.
A few questions.
When I play from my video library it seems to stutter badly - these are dvr-ms files - I assume it is converting on the fly and just not keeping up with play back over the network. Any fixes?
Also the dvr-ms files stutter a little on the server too - for the same reason I guess. again any fixes?
There is a long delay before anything plays. Buffering I guess again - can that be tweeked?
General question - the menu on the main page is all very nice but I want to scroll fast with the mouse except it is limited by the animation. Any mouse events that occur before the animation is complete get lost. Ideally it should check for events during animation and skip on - maybe in the next version. However is there a setting to tween the animation speed?
Very cheap, says it has hardware encoding, which is usually "the" biggy. I'm not too thrilled with the ADS cards I posted about (very grainy pic via the tuner, I guess others have had the same experience) so I'm seriously considering returning them and trying one of these, if they work?
A minor issue:
Since upgrading to 1.0.16 I've found that the gbepg files that are created during my overnight DVB-T EPG update have been left in the recordings folder.
The post here http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...epg&page=2 said it'd be fixed in the next release so I just deleted them manually every so often...but...I've now upgraded to 1.1.5 and the files are still there in the morning.
I have to say that this is in the overall context that GBPVR is an excellent program - been using it for nearly 12 months with no major problems and superb support here.
Ok I love this program but this new old computer is driving me a little nuts. I have a 2.5 ghz celeron D with 768 mb DDR ram (I know two different size sticks is not ideal). I'm running a Geforce 5200 card a PVR-150 tuner. It lags pretty bad changing channels has long delays and even navigating menu is sometimes slow. When I use GBPVR it slow but works fine in media portal that has even higher min system specs it runs fine. Can't quite figure it tried different renders and mpeg2 decoders with no success even overclocked to 3.2 ghz and still lags. Thinking of going back to my old AMD 2100 where it worked fine.
I'm new to GB-PVR, but have been on a long search for a good software PVR/media center...whether free or purchased. I LOVE all the features that I am seeing and I have the PVRX2 working with it's basic feature set. Unfortunately, it looks like all the plugins I can find (well most of them) are for the older GBPVR .9X.X versions. I tried getting those plugins to work in the GBPVR app that came with the 1.1.5 version with no luck. I understand that time is needed to develop new plugins for the new version (which I look forward to!!) I am wondering, in the meantime, if there is a place to get the older version 0.95.16 or which ever was the latest release that supports the odler style plugins. I would like to have a fully-functional system with all the skins and plugins I was seeing out there for the older version. Does anyone have any thoughts?
I am planning on donating to this once I know this will work, I'm no free-loader Thanks for a great product!
First of all, Sub, congratulations on the new version. I especially look forward to the FSE patches, so that I hopefully can get rid of the tearing and jerking. I haven't tried it though (yet), because I ran into the following problem.
I wanted to update a recurring recording, but never got that far because PVRX2 stopped responding right after I clicked the update button, halfway through the animation. The error log shows a whole bunch of errors, that I can't do much with. I have attached the logs and the database... The recording I was trying to change was "Sinterklaasjournaal".
I have the 1.1.5 version installed without any patches.
Trying out the new EVR mode but the channel graphics looks very rough round the edges, as if the screen has been resized or pixelated. I've applied the dll fix for aspect ratio, is this whats causing the pixelation ? PVRx2 OSD is crystal clean and sharp, just the channel output.
When I select an emultor, is it possible to have the highlighted button default to the 'rom window', and not the back button.
Sheer lazyness on my part of course, I can live with the extra button press if you want/need to leave it as it is...
I am using ML2 beta 7 with 1.15 PVRX over the MVP.
How do I access window where it displays the list of playlists (m3u files)? I see it sometimes but it seems like the playlists pane only appears once my ML2 playlist has finished. What I would like to do it scroll my playlists and queue songs from there...or queue the entire playlist or choose randomly from it etc...
Thanks for a great product!
