I am trying to write a plug-in to output data to the IMON VFD. The API they provide includes a c++ header file. I am trying to write the plug-in in c#. Can I use the header file in c# and if so, what is the syntax. Or can I write a plug-in in c++? How do I implement the IMenuTask then?
I use EPGExtra as part of my PostUpdateEPG processing. Great utility, the program info definitely does not seem complete without the extras this program provides.
One thing I've noticed, is that EPGExtra tends to significantly take over the CPU. In most cases, this is not a problem, except when I am recording a program or performing some other processing.
Is this behavior expected, or is there some configuration parameter to tell EPGExtra to 'play nice' with other processes?
I had a fully working system, but I updated all the patches in the survival guide for the latest version. Now my video is black but I get sound.
Ive checked the overlay settings and tried all of them with no job, I uninstalled GBPvr and deleted the dir then reinstalled so it had no patches, but its still the same.
As far as I can remember it was working fine on the PC screen (I usually use MVP). I only realised when the MVP live tv was black, playing normal videos are fine.
As far as I can tell Vista has not updated the graphics drivers and ive not changed its settings
I just got the HP Digital/Analog TV Tuner (Expresscard) for my HP DV2000 notebook. The back of the card indicates that it has been made by Hauppauge but cannot figure out the model no to use as "capture source". So, basically gbpvr is unable to detect my card. I am running XP Pro. The card does work with a trial version of Cyberlink (which detected the card automatically). Please help! Thanks!
My first post so I must say that the GBPVR is working really well with the MVP (live TV, DVR, photos etc).
Only problem is that on some MPEG files, no audio comes through. Note that these MPEG files were originally VOB files (home videos burned to a DVD by a TIVO DVD burner) that I transcoded to MPEG files using this
Note that the transcoded MPEG's play just fine with audio when I use Windows Media Player on my computer, but 4 out of 5 transcoded MPEG's don't play audio on the MVP.
Should I use a different transcoder to MPEG or is this a problem with the MVP?
Pulling my hair out and desperately seek your help. I'm experiencing scheduled recording failures which I can't figure out. Sometimes it records properly and other times not. It's about 50:50 so we're not talking about infrequent isolated failures. I am including the logs (which will include a variety of test recordings scheduled in different ways - manually, quick record, and standard record) but from my perusal of them, I'm not seeing any obvious problems. The recordings are starting but only result in 4KB files. The GBPVR status does show that it is recording the entire time. I've tried using other muxes besides DVR-MS (e.g. ATI, Intervideo, and Cyberlink) but they did not solve the problem. I'm NOT running Windows MCE (just plain XP Pro SP2) nor do I have any other apps or services which could also be trying to access the capture card (HDTV Wonder). Lastly, I have no reason to believe there is any problem with the card itself since I've tried it in another PC running MCE2005 and experienced no recording failures there and I've also tried it in my current PC by disabling GBPVR and scheduling recordings with WatchHDTV with no failures. So, I'm left believing that it is indeed an issue with GBPVR but I can't for the life of me figure out the source. PLEASE HELP!!! TIA
P.S. - I do use NOD32 antivirus but HAVE applied the related dot net hotfix which DID stop the associated error from appearing in the logs. So, presumably that isn't the source but I thought I should mention it anyway.
I am using GB-PVR with an hauppauge 1600 and in the configuration under the playback/hardware decoder device it only lists a Hauppauge PVR-350 and a Sigma designs X-Card. Should my 1600 not be listed in there? When I do a channel scan it takes a long time and never finds anything, where as with the Wintv software it comes with I get 12 channels both SD and HD. Would this be do to the fact when I choose a card in the tuning application it only lists the hauppauge 1600(Analog) as a choice?
Also when I run the BDA muxchecker it doesn't find anything. I am running winxp sp2.
Would really love to get this program working as it looks way better then wintv that hauppauge comes with.
(FINAL EDIT)
SWEET JEEBUS!!!! I got it working. Read a thread about mapping digital channels and now I get the 7 channels. Had to map some channels to channels the epg didn't have but ah well. SWEET!!!
Thanks all for the help...
Installed this over the weekend and although it took a bit of thought, work and perseverance I managed to record a couple of programs over the weekend and am really happy with the setup.
I do have a small problem that I can't get around at the moment. I can call up the program guide and it's nicely populated, however to scan through it I have to occasionally select a program before it scrolls. When I select the program it highlights it in green and provides information on the program but when I then press the right arrow (to move to the next program) the green highlighting goes and the next program is not highlighted. I then cannot scroll through (left or right) until I select a program with the mouse again. This also happens with the remote.
Is this something I can fix and if so, does anyone have any idea how?
