I seem to have an odd glitch in the epg that I have noticed a couple of times in the past, not sure if it is something with my config or something with gbpvr.
This morning while checking the epg/pending recordings etc for the day I decided to check tomorrows as well because being Saturday the wife will be home & I might/probably will forget & miss something we want to record. Lucky I did as there was a problem in my epg & Saturday for TV1 was "BBC World" for the whole 24 hours. I cleared my soaps etc in xmltvnz & re-ran my
update epg bat (I have empty epg on reload selected in config) & sure enough programs showed for TV1 & it selected the ones that should be pending
But when looking through the guide I noticed a new program "Jack of all trades" & went to select it but in the bottom window instead of "Jack of all trades" still said "BBC World" & I couldn't select it. I have found in the past that if I jumped forwared to Sunday & then worked my way back to the program I was interested in I would then be able to select it.
Any ideas why it should react this way, I always have the uneasy feeling that when things go wrong like this we will miss some recordings, normally my feeling is wrong but.....
(Oops almost forgot I'm still using 99.5 as I'm scared to goto 99.12 with the MVP issuses that some users seem to be having)
i see there's a forum post about 1.0.2 on the home page but as I expected I can't access it! Any snippets about what's new for us lesser mortals? (please tell me dvb-t radio is working fully now )
I know from reading the forums that you can setup GBPVR to operate in a client/server mode. I am having problems finding any instructions describing how you go about setting this up. Is there WIKI page for this? If so, can someone point me to it?
Not sure if these are wishes or how-to requests....
I would like it if the OSD did not come on during pause. I am happy with OSD coming on at all other times but I often pause a video because I'm trying to see or read something - The OSD gets in the way (especially during "Basic Instinct 1" last night - lol).
I have my skip settings setup for skipping commercials - 60 seconds forward - 30 seconds back. I would like to assign much longer skip periods to two more buttons so I can quickly get back to the point where my girlfriend started talking.
I would love to have a screen capture function that worked from the remote. Press pause - press "capture" and the current frame gets dumped to a folder specified in config.
I am going to purchase Hauppauge WINTV-PVR-150. I was wondering if the card was done capturing a show and started another, I should be able to watch the first show becasue it is finished recording without interupting the second? I understand that I can record a show and watch another at the same time live. I was just making sure that if an event is recorded I should be able to watch it while recording another?
While I am at it: I assume you can play music or watch a dvd while recording a tv show too?
I'm currently trying to get my usb-uirt to reliably change the channels on my Viewsat 2000 satellite receiver. I am using the usb-uirt control in the source setup, but am experiencing some dropped signals. For example, if GBPvr is trying to tune
to channel 234 the receiver may only recognize the 23
and miss the 4 altogether. Needless to say, channel changes are hit or miss.
I wrote to the usb-uirt support email and receive the following response:
"...the first place to start is to verify that the IR signals are not too short for reliable
communication. Each channel digit is sent to the set-top-box in the same
way it is sent from your set-top-box remote. Typically, when you press the
button on the remote, the IR signal is repeatedly sent for as long as the
button is held. If the IR signal is sent too short, this can lead to
missing digits. Also, if the succession of digits are sent too quickly (with
too little time in between digits), problems can occur.
To get an idea of how long each digit is being sent and how much time
between digits, simply watch the red LED on the USB-UIRT when GBPVR changes
channels.
GBPVR should allow you to adjust both the time between digits as well as the
duration of each digit (sometimes call repeat count). I sould suggest first
increasing these timings (slowing down the channel change process a bit) and
see if reliability improves..."
Can the repeat count be changed or is this value hard coded?
I just wanted to give a big plug for the support for the usb-uirt. My device stopped working and the support person (maybe the guy who makes them?) walked me though many different steps to get the thing working. Nothing worked so instead of going through a huge return and verification of warranty he just sent me out a new usbuirt! I had even told him that I was out of the 90 day warranty period.
How amazing is that? I've never had service so great.
Reviews indicate a glitchy early-adopter product, but for the price and assumption that it can actually play AC3 audio over the stereo outputs (unlike the MediaMVP) it might be just the ticket to watch ATSC recordings remotely.
I assume I'll have to access my HTPC via shared directory, since I know it won't interface directly with GB-PVR.
As I stated in another thread I use dvdshrink and then videoredo to convert the shrunken vob's to mpg. These can be played through gbpvr however gbpvr doesn't seem to respond to the ff, rew etc buttons. Eventually I can get out of the playing.
Is there something simple I am missing when I shrink and recode the videos ?
Well I'm rebuilding my system and I get the above message when changing channels and GBPVR is switching between tuner cards (i.e going from the A700 DVB-S to one of the analogue cards for Prime, but not vice versa). Errors appear in the logs as follows:
