I've been working to resolve a wake issue I have on v1.0.16. I have tried the DelayedStart.exe and NativeUtiliies.dll fixes. I attempted to go back to GBPVR10008 but it does not support SchedulesDirect, which I use. I know my PC can and does wake because I created a scheduled task in windows which wakes the machine at 01:26 everyday and creates a file, and the time/date stamp on the file tells me the machine is waking. Any assistance is appreciated.

I'm trying to find a old post made by tipstir about a tool that can be used to speed up my lan file transfer speed. For some reason I can't find any of his post. Do anyone know where I can locate this post on the forum?

Trying to get my HD Homerun up and running and get to where I need to build the remap file, the link to the instructions on the SiliconDust forum doesn't work so I can't get to the instructions but apparently I need QamMapper, the site is up but the download link yields this:

Quote:The requested URL /HDHomeRun/QamMapper/QamMapper0-1-2-3.zip was not found on this server.

I have some recurring recordings for some shows that air M-F only once. I didn't have any problems with these recurring shows until this weekend. Now I am told there are conflicts, and I see the show has 2 conflict entries in the Conflicts menu, as if the show is to record 3 times. I have 2 tuners so this should only show a conflict for 1 entry (but the show should only be scheduled once anyway).

Something is also broken with the entry display. When I cursor through the menu, I see blank entries until I cursor to the blank entry, then it fills in with data.

Any idea what the problem is? What files can I attach to help with debug?

I've got my HTPC connected directly to my 50" plasma. When i watch live tv it is not completely filling the screen. Close, but not completely. When I watch recordings they completely fill the screen. What setting am I missing to have live tv fill the screen? I have tv aspect ratio set to 16:9.

I wrote this as I went along and came to my own conclusion but I've left the thought process here in its entirety for your amusement. For the conclusion, skip to the last line...

I wasn't entirely sure how to title this thread properly and I'm not having luck searching for similar threads because I don't know which keywords to use.

The issue (it's more an issue than a problem because everything works fine) is that updating the epguide creates files that are exactly 1 minute and 1 second long.

For the past two days:

I never had this happen in either XP x86/x64. Now I'm using Vista x64 but not sure if that's related. This has been a clean install of GB-PVR and is only a few days old. The epguide updates fine, the guide contains up and coming shows and I can schedule to record with no problems.

I'm just curious why it creates these files - 12 per day/update. I'll delete them but if they keep being created I'll have to always remember to check the save directory each day or so.

Interestings, I found this in one of my logs:

This log was while I was recording in MPEG. Since I've been testing stability of DVR-MS rather than recording in MPEG, I wonder if GB-PVR isn't able to delete this format for one reason or another. I've always recorded in MPEG before but now I'm using DVR-MS I'm noticing this happen.

Rather than re-edit the whole post, further checking in the latest log from today shows:

This log suggests GB-PVR is trying to delete these epguide update files expecting them to have .MPG extensions. It seems that the epguide update process needs to match the save format.

I'm sure I saw a post refering to a config.xml setting to do this, but I can't find it again... :o

Hi all;

I have a CD with some scientific conference videos that are .asf.

I'd like to distribute these to students and whomever but I don't with to fight with the "I can't play them" thing from Windows and Mac users both.

Opening them in a web browser should work, but I'd like to extract them to a .mov or .avi or .mwv or whatever direct format so that people know what to do with them.

thoughts welcome---

thanks!

I've seen talk of video tearing on these forums, and I too am plagued by this. Could be the curse of my Nvidia card.

I noticed in the open-source Media Player Classic, there's an option:

"Lock back-buffer before presenting (may fix broken vertical synchronization)"

Under the "Playback"->"Output" menu.

Before selecting this option in MPC I had bad tearing, much like I'm experiencing within GBPVR. After selecting this option, my tearing was non-existent. I am curious if a similar option could be a solution to eliminating tearing in GBPVR without requiring the use of FSE.

Regards.

After days of screwing around trying to get my Firefly Remote to fast forward my GBPVR recordings I see that this feature isn't enabled in the latest release. We now have to use the skip feature. When I use CTL + F on the keyboard the recording only advances 10 seconds at a time. Is there a way to get this to FF at 60 seconds at a time & also to map this to the remote?

Thank's!
