I am having a couple of issues with Music Library 2. The first is that not all of my songs are showing up in the library. The songs that do show up I am able to play. The next issue I am having is that I created 4 playlists in Windows Meida Player 11 and saved them as M3U files. When I go to play any of these playlists I recieved an Error (I can't tell you what the message says because it gets covered up before I can read it). Then I tried to go back into Music Library 2 and recieve another error message. I have attached a screen shot of how I have the Paths & Collections set up and the error log that was created by Music Library 2 (I only turned this on after I started getting error messages. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

When i transcode using any version 99, I get poor DIVX bit rates even when they should be around 1400bps

I use the same string on both pcs:
<Conversion name="DivX" cmd="-y -i {SOURCE_FILE} -f avi -ab 224 -ac 2 -acodec mp3 -vcodec mpeg4 -b 1400 -aspect 16:9 -s 600x338 -vtag DIVX {DEST_FILE}" targetExtension=".avi" />

Front end server, windows 2003, DIVX 6.4, GBPVR 98.13b produces files at around 1400bps
Recording and file server, windows 2003, DIVX 6.4, GBPVR 99.12 produces files at 300bps

Any ideas anyone, should i roll back the recording server?

I had to recently re-install gbpvr, so as part of the install I grabbed the most recent CommonGBPVRUtilities.dll off the Wiki. Turns out somewhere (in my other installation) I loaded a newer version and the Wiki version is older.

I noticed because my logging stopped working, I was using the StatusLog object in the DLL. Once I copied the newer version from a backup folder, things started working again.

Not sure who maintains CommonGBPVRUtilities.dll, or who has the most current version of the code, but I think it needs to be updated on the Wiki to avoid problems for other users.

Wiki:

Newer one??

Hi everyone!

I'm slightly disappointed with the picture quality of live TV when viewed on my PC. Will an add-on video card make a difference, or would it be a waste of money? Is there a way to improve picture quality?

My system is a Pentium D 2.66Mhz x2, Asus P5L-MX, on board video and sound, Hauppauge PVR150, XP Home w/SP2.

Go easy on me, please, I'm an idiot when it comes to this sort of stuff. :confused:

Thanks a lot!

Which DVB-S PCI card? Currently I have a pvr-350 and I want to add a DVB-S PCI card capture device.
I have read http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=24674 post and don't want to highjack someone else's post.

This is how I understand things.
My 350 is happy encoding and decoding onboard MPEG2 via s-video in and out. My CPU is around 4%-7%. I like it that way and I would want to keep it that way if possible.
I would like to add a DVB-S card. From my reading I have found a Nova-S PCI card. As I understand it this card does onboard processing of the satellite signal. After is has processed the signal it passes this data to the PC. I am assuming this data is in MPEG2 format. Is this correct??

Now that the PC has the processed satellite signal how do I configure GBPVR to stream the ouptut of the DVB-S card to the PVR 350 card for watching live TV?

Now, if I'm correct in that the output of the DVB-S card is MPEG2 then the whole signal processing flow is very similar to my current setup.
Current: s-video in -> PVR-350 process to MPEG2 -> GBPVR -> harddrive + PVR 350 -> s-video out
DVB-S: Sat in -> Nova-S process to MPEG2 -> GBPVR -> harddrive + PVR 350 -> s-video out

So from this I assume again that my CPU would remain in the 4%-7% range. Would this be right?

Also would it be possible to get GBPVR to download the EPG from the satellite signal?

Any advice?
Does anyone else recommend a different DVB-S card or setup?
Am I barking mad for trying this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am thinking of adding a popup window onto gamezone whereby a user can activate a popup window that shows additional information that can include text image(s) and also buttons to activate other functions. I am a bit stuck at the best way to tackle this, is there any source around that shows this type of thing? any of the common UI tools provided part of the story?

Any comments appreciated

Thanks

I can not get the channel scan when mapping to find channels on my Fusion 5 Gold cards. I read one post about updating the BDA.INI. Is that what is missing and where would I find the exact name needed? Using the 3.60.01 Fusion windows 2000 drivers

Bug or user error?
HDHomeRun loaded on XP x32, GBPVR scans channels in config.
HDHR loaded on XP x64, GBPVR does not.
Ran the BDA installer.
Verified that HDHR manager can access device, change channels, display via VideoLAN.

Thanks for the assistance

Hi, just got my PVR150 MCE...took a while but it finally worked. Now I can't get the FM tuner to work...it's saying that the FM tuner is not detected.

Here are the logs. They should show in the first one.

If it means anything, I've got an AIW which also has FM, so I was wondering if it was getting confused with it.

Also, I've noticed that with the graphrecorder plugin for my AIW and direct plugin with the PVR150MCE, I can't have the PVR150MCE as the second card when I install it. GBPVR says that I don't have the drivers installed...although it did recognize that the card was there.

Otherwise the important bits seem to be working.

Thanks,

What power settings ('Turn off monitor', 'Turn off hard diskd', System standby', 'System hibernates') are GB-PVR users using? What other system settings should I review? TIA.
