This is part of the irblastwiz_13_23033 application to you need to configure the built-in IR balster with the PVR150
Those of you that have, did you have to do anything special?
I have run in WINXP compatibility mode, in Admin mode, and in regular mode with the command "regsvr32 chsuite.ocx" and I get back the error "the module chsuite.ocx failed to load"
When I try to run the IR Blaster config I get the error Component "CHSUITE.OCX" or one of it's dependencies not correctly registered, a flie is missign or invalid.
I am using an ati 650 wonder and took me a while to get this program working, but is now working great! Good job.
Is there a way to change from full screen to window mode without exiting the tv? My remote does it, but than I can' move the window to a less used part of the screen.
Is there a way to resize and move a window and keep the same aspect ratio?
Well, the title says it all pretty much. My Hauppauge PVR150 is not showing up on "Hardware Decoder Device" list. I've tried other PVR programs, such as SageTV, WinTV, and uh... another. They find the card just fine.
The odd thing is that the Hauppauge PVR350 DOES show up on the list. :confused:
Well, at least I find it odd... It maybe supposed to be that way, I donno.
So, I'm 99% done building my HTPC and now have to swap out my motherboard and processor between my HTPC and my office rig... the reason, you ask?
I made the fatal error of picking a Pentium D 805 processor for my HTPC... after I ordered I posted my build and somebody posted and warned me it would run hot, boy were they right. My HTPC works great but since it's confined in a cabinet under the TV it runs pretty hot and after about an hour or two it will shut down due to heat.
The key info there is the "Thermal Design Power" or TDP, basically it's a statistic that measures how much heat a processor will emitt. Intel and AMD take different approaches to providing this statistic though. AMD measures worst case scenario (high load, poor ventilation, etc), while Intel measures what they consider "realistic situations" (average load, typical ventilation). This means that numbers provided by Intel are going to appear lower than AMDs. With that being said, here is a comparison of my two processors, they are actually fairly comparable as far as price and power but the Athlon knocks the Pentium D out of orbit as far as heat efficiency.
Intel Pentium D 805
TDP: 95W
AMD Athlon 64-3500+
TDP: 62W
TDP: 35W (if processor is run at lower voltage 1.25V instead of 1.4 - some performance drop is likely)
As you can see, I'm thinking the AMD processor will do much better in the cabinet. It's a single core processor, the Pentium D is a dual core but it was probably overkill to begin with.
I hope somebody can learn from my mistake. I think the link I posted is an accurate source but post in this thread if you think different.
I recently installed WinFF to do some batch conversion of mpg files... and now that they're converted, they won't play through gbpvr, though they do work in vlc.
The only difference in the ffmpeg command line between the standard GBPVR version and the WinFF version was the absence of the -vtag argument. The version of ffmpeg used was the one bundled with WinFF, rather than the one bundled with GBPVR.
How important is the -vtag argument, and how can I incorporate it into the compressed files without recompressing them?
And are there compatibility issues caused by using different ffmpeg.exe files? How to overcome them?
So after spending some time to tighten down security on my client/server setup (firewall settings, Windows user rights, share rights, etc), I pretty much had to open everything up in order to get the client and server to talk to one another.
From what I can tell, when the client attempts to access the "gbpvr" share on the server, it defaults to using the Guest account on the server. Therefore, I have to allow the server Guest account to allow the "log on over the network" user right as well as full permissions on the gbpvr program directory (and the recordings and livetv directories).
Typically, disabling the Guest account is one of the first things I do when I install Windows. Ideally, I prefer to create a locked-down user account on the server. I then want to be able to specify this account as the gbpvr logon account on the client configuration.
Is this possible in a workgroup (non-domain) environment?
set up the remote to work with GB-PVR yesterday and it worked great, today it doesn't recognize it. have tried going back into GB-PVR to configure the remote, restarted IR per instructions, made sure the connection was firm, so I am perplexed. GB-PVR works just fine with the keyboard, but of course it would be better with the remote. I will try fresh batteries but these were just put in yesterday.
Sub,
I logged into safe mode this morning to scan my PC and it found nothing so I went about as normal. Well, after awhile I decided to open GBpvr and see If there was anything I wanted to record this afternoon...... After I double clicked the gbpvr Icon it seem gbpvr wanted to reinstall itself and put some folder in my C:\program files\ directory called devnz......
I've had gbpvr forever and it's never tried to do this.
Does your program add this folder or could this be an issue I need to worry about. Spyware / Virus ? thanks
