My account is fine, and I even opened a second just to confirm it, but I cannot get the programming guide loaded. All I get after it seems to trying to download the guide is this message box (below).
I read that its going to be over soon, but not until September '07.
Any ideas, or alternate methods that are just as simple to use?
Because without the Zap2it service, as far as I can see, GBPVR is useless and won't work. I can't even use the tuning assistant and then watch the channels it finds, it still just tells me that the EPG is not set up.
I'm in Canada BTW so if there is another service that I can use, I'd appriciate hearing about it.
Thanks in advance.
This is an update of my GBPVRTray replacement, Slimm GB-PVR.
[SIZE="5"]To install[/SIZE]:
Ensure you have installed .NET Framework 2.0. It can probably be installed by accessing your Windows Update or you can follow this download link: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Redistributable
For information regarding features and bug fixes new to this release, please see my announcement post on my blog.
For all details regarding current version, please see documentation which is installed alongside the utility and is available in the GBPVR start menu group.
I know there are a lot of threads on stuttering already, but none quite seem to describe the problem I'm having. It's actually 2 related problems in fact:
The first is only noticable on fast moving scenes (I hadn't noticed it until I was watching the wimbledon final yesterday!) but materialises both on livetv preview and timeshifting. Its barely noticeable, but bad enough that compared to watching the TV directly I can tell its there.
The other problem seems to appear at random, with really bad interlacing/stuttering. Oddly, it disappears if I pause and resume playback.
All other avi files etc playback just fine with no stuttering or interlacing problems at all - its only livetv/recordings that show it up.
Anyone got any bright ideas on either of these? For reference I'm using encoder pass-through, recording to dvr-ms files. Purevideo is handling the decoding.
Using 1.0.8 with PVRX2 on MVP the Live TV catchup exits to the main menu after 5 seconds.
This has been mentioned in the support forum, can someone confirm its not just me...
in more detail...
1. currently Recording live tv channel
2. after xx number of minutes,select to watch the channel (starts from beginning of recording)
3. press 60(or any high number) then skip (to go forward 1 hour which will reach the end of the recording and continue playing.)
4. Now this has always in the past continued playing, but with PVRX2 it plays for 5 seconds then exits livetv.
This is a big problem for me as I have a cctv channel recording 24/7 and now i cant switch to that channel and see what is 'currently' happening on the cameras! - well just for 5 seconds
To clarify the situation with GameZone and the new 1.08 version of GBPVR.
GameZone works with the GBPVR.exe (Old UI look and feel).
GameZone does NOT work with PVRx2.exe (New whizz bang UI)
How to get GameZone 1.2a working with the old UI:
Make a directory in your gbpvr/plugins called GameZone
Copy thats COPY NOT move the gamezone.dll to the new GameZone directory
start up GBPVR using the gbpvr.exe
Enjoy
I will look at migrating GameZone to the New UI, do not expect this to be quick as I am very busy at work, I may look at taking this oppurtunity to rework much of what is happening under the hood and perhaps take advantage of some of the whizz bang effects offered by the new UI.
One of the new features in UbuStream v2.2 is the ability to subscribe to syndicated video/audio content via RSS feeds, including iTunes ones. Some guidelines (and disclaimers) are perhaps in order.
You can subscribe to pretty much any RSS feed that contains media file enclosures. Currently, standard RSS 2.0 feeds are supported, including those with ITunes and Media extensions. Not supported yet are feeds that contain links to web pages with embedded video (an embedded Flash player, for instance) or to BitTorrent torrent files. I'm planning to add support for these variants in a subsequent release.
I've included some sample RSS video feeds as part of the UbuStream v2.2 beta, so you can get a feel for how it works. You can subscribe to new feeds by simply pasting the feed URL into the Rss Feed panel of the UbuStream config app. You can choose between playing the media enclosures as streams or downloading them to disk and playing them as media files. (Most vodcasts and podcasts are downloadable, for instance).
If you encounter a "problem" feed, please let me know and I'll try to resolve the problem for you. One reason for v2.2 having "beta" status is that I'd like to resolve as many issues with this feature as possible before making it the "official" release. The underlying RSS engine for this feature is provided by the Argotic Syndication Framework so, if the problem is with their code, I'll work with them to resolve it.
Video content delivery via RSS has been really taking off recently and, IMHO, will become one of the preferred ways to provide content to home media software and HTPCs.
Well, I'm now experiencing the joys of DVB and ATSC for the first time, thanks to the new QAM support of the HVR-1600. I'm loving the quality.
I'd read a little about the mux issues, and I'd decided to go with .dvr-ms for recording then convert to .mpg when it is done. I set everything up that way, and on the very first conversion, ended up with a GBPVRConvert.exe sucking all the CPU and doing nothing: a condition that had been reported before.
I'd installed the Cyberlink Mux (1307) and that was all.
I read somewhere that the ATI might work better, so I removed the Cyberlink Mux and added the ATI one. However, that just makes the automatic process fail. It seems to only try the Cyberlink mux.
I was able to do it by hand (by passing a 4th parameter to GBPVRConvert.exe with the mux name), but I don't know if I can cause the automatic process to use my mux of choice.
Does Gbpvr support TV Wonder 200 PCI?
I just bought the card yesterday and found your amazing program, so if my card isn't supported I will return it for something that is.
Thank you
