I've been doing manual recordings in conjunction with the autotune feature on my directv box for a long time now mostly because I could never get the hauppauge ir blaster to work and I'm too cheap to buy the usb-uirt. Well I happened to be on Hauppauges site today and noticed the had a pretty new update for their ir blaster and low and behold I've gotten it to power on and off my directv box. Now I would like to test in in GBPVR but I can't find the Hauppague blaster in the list of channel changers in the config. Am I looking in the wrong place or is there something I need to do to activate it in GBPVR?
Sorry folks, this is going to be another "my machine won't wake for recordings and EPG updates" thread!
I've set the "Wake machine" option in the config application and set my machine to go to standby but it doesn't wake at all. I've applied the Native Utilities patch but still nothing. The problem occurs whether its hibernation or standby and whether its a manual record or scheduled from the tv guide.
I've read these forums quite a bit now but all the fixes provded previosly just don't seem to work for me. If you guys can tell me which logs to post (if not all) I'd be happy to post them if that would help.
I loaded a lot of movies into Movie Wiz, took all the time to put large images into it, from my pc. I worked fine until the end, after I took all the time to load that stuff. Now ever time I load Movie Wiz I get the message... "Error translating column image. Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown".
I do run Community 3 skin, and was trying to tinker with the MovieWiz task, but no luck. I only added a task.png here or there, nothing else.
I want to write out |<< using the DrawText (text="|<<" but I get an error when I try since it is not a valid character. Is there an escape sequence that I can use to allow this sequence?
I have community 3 skin on. I use blue task men for task images. How/Where do i add or edit the task images to make them work on the main menu... For instance, Skin and MovieWiz have to task icons.
Ive tried inside,
C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\Plugins\SkinPlugin\Resources\TaskImages
to no luck.
I am currently using Hauppage pvr150 and mvp with gbpvr, I am considering adding FTA satellite via a pci or usb tuner.
Could someone give me a thumbnail sketch of how I will ultimately view satellite via the mvp (mpg2 player)? If I understand correctly, DVB is an mpg2 stream, but not directly viewable by the MVP, much like a DVD VOB. Are there sat tuner cards that produce an .mpg file the MVP can use? Or do I need to transcode DVB to an .mpg container, and/or is the transcoding done on the fly during recording? Also I see reference to dvb-s and dvb-t...what is the difference and should I care?
Does anyone know if the plugin SoftwareRecorder V.26 or V.27 will work with GBPVR Ver. 1.0.16? I have installed but the WDM plugin will not appear in the config.
I've been reading and experimenting for the last few weeks, and i'm ALMOST there.
I have 2 x Hauppauge Nova-T-500 (so 4 x tuners in total).
Everything is tuned in, working and recording perfectly.
The only problem I have is with the DivX conversion quality.
It's just not up to the standard of other programs i've used, such as AutoGK or Dr. DivX, even if I increase the bitrate in the config.xml to ~1300.
The standard response to this seems to be 'use XviD', but i'm afraid this isn't an option, as the completed videos are going to be imported into a management system that only supports DivX (long story).
I've looked up the command line options for FFMPEG but there doesn't seem to be anything useful to me.
Can anyone tell me why the DivX movies converted using this process with 1300kbps looks so much worse than using one of the other above mentioned programs with 780kbps?
