When I select 'Videos' form the UI, I see a page full of the icon images for the folders. When I select the folder, I see the name of the file and the [..]. I then need to select the file and select 'Play'. Is there any way of getting the videofile.avi to play when I select the folder, or is the only way to put all of the video files in a single folder? If the latter, how do I get an image for each video file? I couldn't see any information on this in the Wiki....
Thought I'd put up a post about a recent frustrating problem I had with missing recordings and what I did to get it working again.
My GB-PVR PC had been working perfectly for about a month after I built it, but then a couple of scheduled recordings failed. I then realised that some channels recorded as expected, but others did not record at all. For example (UK) channel five always recorded, but BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, Ch 4 never did - they used to!
Iâm running version 0.99.12 on XP SP2 with a Hauppauge Nova-T 500 dual tuner.
The symptoms were (with AutoRemoveMissingRecordings set to false): I set a programme to record via the EPG - the show in the EPG then appears in red. It also appears in the Pending Recordings panel, but when the recording starts it disappears from the Pending panel. It is then available in the Ready panel, but the only options are âCloseâ and âDeleteâ. A directory is created to store the recording in the ârecordingsâ directory, but no files are created. Also, after setting it to record in the EPG (making it red), if I exit to the main menu and then go back to the guide, the programme is no longer highlighted in red. I can watch these channels via âLive TVâ and I can pause/rewind etc in timeshift mode, so there appearred to be no problems with the tuners. I had previously made recordings on these channels and they have worked perfectly. Iâve not changed any config or GB-PVR files.
It turned out it was to do with the tuners! I removed both tuners from the Capture Source tab in the config application. I then removed all references to my tuners in the BDA.ini file and added the lines that sub suggested in this post: http://forums.gbpvr.com/showpost.php?p=1...ostcount=8. I then added my tuners again, re-mapped the channels and much to my relief/suprise, it all worked!! I even have a few more channels now - maybe there was a slight difference with the original BDA file??
Anyway, I just thought I'd post my experience in case anyone else ends up in this situation.
Installation and configuration with Plextor M402U (InterVideo WinDVR) was easy but Live TV is very very slow as compared to what I see when I watch Live TV directly on InterVideo WinDVR (without GBPVR). Please help.
anyone show me how to record from red, yellow, white cables to wintv pvr usb2? I can see the video on my screen under live preview but don't see an option to record. i set it up w/ channels 2-70 that the epg picks up. i also created another one with just the composite as channel 1. however, not sure how to record.
My ex has gotten the MVP / Video panel stuck in icon mode. She wants list. The remote is working fine, but she can't get to the left side and click on 'Mode'
Wonder what that's about. I don't remember seeing this issue before...
Also, I'll remote in later. I suppose I can force the Video panel to List mode somewhere in the config.xml. But I can't find the listing...
I'm new to development in GBPVR but am a seasoned a .net 2.0 programmer. We built a bot the other day using the embedded IE control in .net. Could we use this same functionality to get "watch now" accessible in GBPVR. Since it only works in IE there has to be a way to embed an IE window in the program. I dont know if your framework supports this but would love to fire up people developing a way to use "watch now" in gbpvr.
I just lost the ethernet adapter on my motherboard due to a lightning strike. I'm getting a usb ethernet adapter, but I've got several days before it will arrive. Is there a way to reload the EPG without a network connection? I use Zap2It for the EPG, still have internet access from another computer and can transfer files with a jumpdrive or a CD.
This was somewhat discussed in the past, I think, but not exactly. So here goes.
Two different scenarios that we (the family) came across lately, but have "keeping recordings" in common:
Scenario 1) We have this show that we record all episodes, and I watch with the kids. It's nothing too important, so I don't care if we loose episodes. On the other hand, there are lots of them every week, and we never come to see them all. They can easily clog my HDD. So, I have it to "keep only 4 recordings".
However, few days ago, we watched this one episode that was very nice, and my daughter said - "we should keep this one". Now, there is no way that I know to do this within GB-PVR. Just keep this one.
Similar to digital-cameras - you know in many of them, you can mark an image or few as "protected" or similar. You get an icon of a "lock" on the image, and later, if you do "delete all", they still keep those marked as protected.
Scenario 2) I have made this recording of a movie from TV. Would be nice to press something that will move it to the Video folder, and remove it from the recordings altogether (would be much nicer if it was transcoded into DivX/AVI, and commercials were cut out, but that's a different story I guess).
Another release guys. Adding support for multiple instances of Comskip was easier than I thought. This will be the last release before the first major version. I am also open to requested features now, since I am comming to the end of this project.
Whats up everyone. Starting up the support thread for the new release. I am not expecting many bugs, but since this will be the last release I make before a full version I would like to open up for any feature requests.
