hi
i think it could be great to add an option to capture a thumbnail from the recorded show and display it in the video menu.
i think i saw it in another pvr software.....
you start the movie and select dts. the light on the dts indecator in my reciever lights up.
then you either move forward or backwards 20 seconds (or any amount of time) and it pops to regular stereo.
i have to return to the main menu, select dvd again and then select resume. and it will start again from the same place with dts and etc.
any thoughts?
thanks
Hi guys
i had an idea.
i am from israel and i burn my divx on a dvd with the subtitle name set to the same as the avi file.
but because i can have both hebrew and english subtitles. can we have somthing like:
diehard 4.avi
diehard 4.heb.srt
diehard 4.eng.srt
and then choose between them during playing the file?
i bet other guys from other countries will take advantage of this.
Hi all,
Got my ATSC side working on my HVR-1600. What I notice now is that when I record something that is on one of the HD channels but it's not a HD show, it is recorded at 4:3 with the black bars. When I try to do an F7 to fill my plasma it has little affect on it. I never really get a full screen. Is there a way to change that or do I have to live with what they send?
hi all.
i created a method of changing wallpaper everytime i open the gbpvr.
first of all (if the guys who made gbpvr read this) THANK YOU FOR A GREAT SOFTWARE.
i tried sagetv and MCE - sorry, wont and cant replace gbpvr.
its so fun to just change what ever you want in your skin or software by changing the xml.
i redid the whole language.heb and fixed it. uploaded the file here.
first of all i created a new skin based on the Blue-Retro-SHV but improved it a bit.
added a transperent background mask. .
now lets start.
install the software called wallpaper master.
its a freeware wallpaper changer software.
after it is installed, select the directory you would like to use as your wallpaper stash.
then go to "further options" and mark a V at "auto start at windows logon" & "auto close after 30 seconds"
each time you open your machine, the wallpaper changed and the software closes after 30 seconds.
it will change as well when the software is started, you will see further down the road
inside the image converter zip file there are 2 files
ConvertImage.exe
ConvertImageContext.dll
copy these 2 to program files\wallpaper master folder
in the other.zip file copy kill.exe and gbpvr.bat to your skin2\*yourskin* folder
create a shortcut to the gbpvr.bat
edit the gbpvr.bat file with notepad and change a few things
at the begining change the path to reflect your skin folder (at the move command).
under that change the location of the kill.exe file (if you copied it to your skin folder then just change the path)
in the other.zip file there is a file called background mask.png file. this is a transperent mask file so you will have a clean wallpaper display. copy it to the skin2\*yourskin*\menu folder
i will go through the batch now.
first of all we go to the wallpaper master's folder.
start the wallpaper.exe, this will start the application but it will close automaticly after 30 seconds.
it changed the wallpaper to something randomly (or by category, you can set this inside the wallpaper master program)
now we convert the bpm wallpaper image to a jpg file and rename it mainbackground.jpg.
then we move it to the skins2\*yourskin2*\menu folder. (i hope you changed it in the gbpvr.bat)
this will allow us to restart the pvrx2.exe with the new background.
now we kill any instance of the wallpaper master software (if for some reason it didnt close automaticly)
we then kill any instance of pvrx2.exe (so we can reload it with a new background)
all we have to do is start a new instance of pvrx2 with a new background
then we kill the batch file to close it.
i set a windows scheduler to automaticly run the gbpvr.bat every morning at 6 am so each day i have a new wallpaper.
it was all done with freeware softwares.
you can even have a key on your remote (like i have) to run the gbpvr just to refresh the wallpaper.
in addition, if you have an hebrew interface like i do, replace the language.heb.xml file in gbpvr\languages folder to have an update file.
contact me if you need any further assitance
hope you enjoy this.
i would love to see a feature like this hardcoded in the software (just wishfull thinking)
Hi, this was all working before i upgraded to GBPVR v1.0.16
The TV Guide inside GBPVR works with channel icons, installed EWA and its working, however when i select (in the Config page) Channel icons OR Channel icons with text then it seems to crash the server, hangs for a while then stops responding.
Things to look for first??? This all worked well in v0.98.13 with the current build for that GBPVR.
Ok, I give in. What am I doing wrong. I've been using GB-PVR for the past few months and decided it was about time I enabled the web interface having forgotten to record a few programmes during a recent vacation, expect I can't get the thing working. All I get is:
Server Error in '/gbpvr' Application.
HTTP Error 404 - Not Found.
Version Information: Cassini Web Server 1.0.2782.16257
I tried upgrading to the latest Enhanced Web Admin (EWA) Build 66, reinstalling GB-PVR, trying Firefox and IE but I still get the same problem. What obvious thing am I doing wrong or not doing?
I've read several threads to try to find this including "disapointing mpeg playback", but I am wondering how I can find the default recording codec used when I record?
(I have the Hauppauge pvr150)
Then the follow up question will be:
What should the default recording codec be?
