I am now researching OTA HD capture cards and was wonder if anyone had some advice. I have a 200GB hard drive and am concerned about the 8GB per hour space requirements that HD will take up.
I was wondering if someone could reccomend a card or setup that would enable me to get OTA HD and record it straight to a compressed format like Divx?
Obviously I plan to use GBPVR so it would need to be compatible.
I have a MediaMVP and watch live TV through gbpvr and it works great.
I've noticed when I pause live TV and then come back and forward to catch up to live TV it always locks up so I have to restart me MVP.
As long as I do not catch up to live TV I'm fine. I can rewind, forward pause.. it's all good.
Ok so first things first. I have downloaded and installed the most recent version of gbpvr which is 99.12. I have not downloaded or installed any additional plugins or skins etc.
To begin, I found that my card, the AverMedia AverTV combo (m780) is not directly supported at this time, but Sub is looking to add this in the future as per this thread: http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=25249
In that thread, I used the settings that jackelmatador posted with one change. The change I made was what Sub said in the next post about changing that value to default.
I have ran config and this is what ive done.
for recording source I have choosen direct recording plugin
-----chose avermedia m780 analog
-----usa
-----capture device #1
-----composite #1 / svideo #1 (been going back and forth)
-----high settings
epg source zap2it(and have set up account)
updated epg(and the guide does come up correct as well as listings for my cable which is comcast cable zip46819)
My setup is composite out directly from my tv to the m780 using the composite to svideo adapter.
My problem is when I open gbpvr and go to live tv, I either get 1 of two things. First is that gbpvr pretty much freezes up and runs 100%cpu. The second is I have been getting at say 1 out of 4 times I try it is (dont remember exactly what was said but) "failed to connect to the machine."
I have attached a zip of my log folder(hope Ive done that correctly)
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Im new to having a tuner card and after so many great reviews, I had to check out gbpvr for myself. Hopefully I can get the card working!
Thx in advance
I am new to gbtvr and I am considering getting a Haupp MVP to interface with it. I was just wondering if it's able to play x264? I have played with gbpvr and it plays it no problem. I know the mvp would have to transcode it to mpeg2 on the fly, I'm just wondering if it actually works? That's kind of my ultimate decision on buying one or not.
For anyone that may have done it successfully, my server is an intel core 2 duo with 2 gigs of ram. How does this compare to yours?

Hello,
I'm making a plugin. I want to connect to a database where all the info is stored.
How can i do this?
Where to store the database in the GBPVR tree?
Type of database? (access, sql, ...)
I'm now playing with the GBPVRUIElements library.
This works fine, but now i want to populate the elements with data form a database.
After waking up from Hibernate my remote stops working. To resolve I have to "restart" (unplug from power) my WinTV PVR-USB2 and then also restart GBPVR.
I am using the setting "use direct remote access" so I suspect the error somewhere in the pvr hardware and not related to GBPVR.
Any ideas anyone???

I have searched the forum since I vaguely remember asking about this before but I cannot seem to find anything.
