Like the interface very much, load time much shorter... I do notice a file called wmppia.dll is writtin to the root of my pvr HD. Inferred from date created (12-19-03)it is an old file from somewhere, but a search (including system and hidden files) finds none with that name. Deleting it does seem to initiate a reinstall of gbpvr, and the file is back in PVR HD root. Do dll's belong somewhere else?
Hi,
I'm using hibernator and I have my screensaver set to start after 10 minutes. I've only had the problem happen twice now, but when I start watching a recording after about 10 minutes the screensaver turns on. If I move my mouse it goes away and never comes back for the rest of the recording. I thought that gbpvr sent messages to the computor every 4 minutes to remind it that it was being used. I guess I'll try using a regular screensaver and see if I can reproduce the problem but I dont really know why the problem would be hibernator. Is there something I should check so that this doesnt happen again? Should I attach my logs if it happens again?
I think I read the entire giant thread with Whurlston, Oz, and that other guy, but if I'm correct in my understanding it doesn't leave me alot of options.
1. Whurlston's app ( which can't seem to find a link for ), doesn't work unless I have MCE or Vista. Which I have neither. I am planning on using vista, just on a new computer, not trying to upgrade my old one. And I'm still holding off on building a new desktop.
2. Oz's app, which seems to have lost it's main developers interest, doesn't have listings for OTA in North America. I can probably just map what I need from the cable lineups.
Zap2it Pulled my OTA lineup, and everytime I try and set it up back up, it gives me a page error. ( zipcode 72204 ).
So my specific question is, is the ytvapi_xml_1.0.0.zip app still active? If I go through the effort to either map the channels or scrub the XML, is someone tending that farm?
Just trying to work it out before my current EPG empties out and I start missing things.
With past versions of GBPVR I have tried many times to get a stutter free picture using all of the different VMR options, but the only reliable picture I could get was using Overlay mode. My system is a P4 2.4 GHz with an AGP 6600 display card with 256 MB memory. I am using the Purevideo decoders. From everything I have read, this system should be powerful enough to use GBPVR in VMR9 mode. Typically when watching live TV in VMR9 mode, the system performance meter is only in the 40-50% range. I have also tried the Quartz.dll patch, but this did not seem to have any effect.
Now that the new GBPVR frontend will no longer support overlay mode, I am more determined than ever to get my system running correctly. Anyone have any other ideas? Is a P4 2.4 enough horsepower? Is the problem possibly the AGP interface? Or is the 6600 display inadequate?
Note: Should have noted before that I am running the display to an HDTV at approximately 1920 x 1080 resolution
Can anybody provide me with detailed instructions of how to setup xmltvgui for uk tv listings? I just cant get it to work and the website seems to be down now so i cant get the documentation. Ive set it to use UK_RT but still doesnt dowload any data and doesnt give an error. What are the postprocessors for? Do i need to setup up the server and the port? if so do you recomend any for use?
I'm newish to GBPVR - used it a couple of years ago then went to MythTV on linux then got fed up with all the linux configuration trouble and eventually bought a hardware PVR.
Now I've moved house and having seen that things have moved on quite a bit I'm looking to start using a Windows based PVR setup again. To my delight I've noticed GBPVR now supports a client / server configuration much like MythTV.
My question is - if I have a network setup, is it possible to have TV cards in several machines and have them all talk to each other in a multiple front/backend kind of way? As far as I can tell from my brief look through GBPVR's config app I can only have one master server and a load of clients..
Can anyone help me clear this up? I'm aiming to have the following setup :
Garage : GBPVR / File server with two TV cards & loads of storage
Living room : Small (silent) client with one TV card that uses the server to pull recordings etc
Bedrooms : Some Hauppauge MVP's
Hopefully the client / server config would allow me to use all three tuners to record / timeshif etc....
Because PVRx2 doesn't have a screensaver I've been thinking of enabling the mvpmc screensaver in emulation mode via a command line option. It could probably even be a gbpvr image. In some way a native screensaver is better because of reduced network trafdfic. I realise if I default it on there will be a conflict with the GBPVR user.
Any comments are appreciated including whether you want it on or off by default.
