G'day,

Firstly I'd like to say thanks for a great program.

One question, though - is it possible to zoom during liveTV and video playback?

I am running on a 4:3 monitor and am happy with the letterbox when watching 16:9, but is it possible to zoom in on a pillarbox so that the image fills the screen?

In Cyberlink DVD this is called 'Pan and Scan' with a 1.85:1 ratio. Is there any equivalent in GBPVR?

Cheers

Ok, ive read the wiki page, as well as the read me's and I cant get it to Work.

I finally got Zprocess to automatically start by replacing the postprocessing.bat with the Zprocesspostprocess.bat that came with zprocess

now this is what i want and i cant seem to get it.
1)xvid avi compression
2)comskiped and DELETED
3) if possible: renamed to the "show - season#Xepisode# episode name.avi"

now the problems im haveing is
a) the default profile that seems to be set if i manually open zprocess is trans2mvp. I want the default to be "2avi" everytime. especially since i dont have this mediaMPV crap.

b) the commercials have not been working correctly, it plays to the commercials and then freezes,
c) the quallity is crappy, i have it set on avi 640x480 with mpeg4 (mpeg2 and 1 are always blank video) at 1250bitrate


What do i need to do to make the commercials actually work?

and in addition, i followed exactly what the zprocess instructions say on Wiki,
am i supposed to ALSO follow the instructions in the zprocessREADME?
do i still need to manually change the postprocessing.bat file or anything else?
do i leave the configurations for GBPVR blank?
i also keep getting different error messages, sometimes its a runtime error 56,
and i just got an error 70:permission Denied


SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME

I have a usb-uirt that I can no longer use, switched to mythtv.

Wondering if anyone would be interested in buying it?

Or possibly trading the usb-uirt and my pvr 250 for a pvr 150 with a blaster.

Make an offer on the usb uirt.

PM me.

Here is some general info on what I am running:
PVR150MCE w/ remote and IR Blaster.
GBPVR with channel changing via HIP.
Motorola DCT2224 STB.

Here is the problem:
Say I want to turn to channel 25, it will do 1 of three possibilities. Tune to channel 2, turn to channel 5, or tune to channel 25 correctly.

Same goes for any multiple digit channel. Single number (1-9) tune great.

I have narrowed this down to what I think is the delay between what channels it tells the STB to go to. So I figure I just need to add a slightly longer delay, maybe 1000ms to fix it. My problem is I don't know where exactly to do this.

Anyone have any directions for me?

Thanks!

I installed UbuStream on an XP Professional box and kept getting errors in the .NET. I tried updating the .NET to the newest 2.0 and the error recurred. Problems all over the place when trying to edit the settings.

Any ideas? Am I missing a DLL ? The plug in appears fine on the Config tool

My recording service is puking minutes into the recordings intermittenly, so well it says it is recording but it's not and it just generally screws up any dvr-ms (HD-Video) so you can't even watch what it did record
Here are the logs I do have does this tell ya something

Hi... like the title says... I am getting a blank black screen after escaping out of live TV or after watching a recording or plain video... this is after my upgrade to .12 I also reloaded windows before reloading .12 (because of stupidity reason)...

But I installed XP 2002 Media Center...

I know the system still works after the screen goes blank..
I have started hitting escape or enter after moving the keys
on the keyboard and it would start the next video or watch TV
again.... so I am confused why it is not refreshing...

thanks

I have a Twinhan3030 mantis card, running 1.0.3.0 bda drivers in Windows Vista Ultimate. Everything looks ok in device manager.

When I ran setup, add a "Capture Source", select "BDA Recording plugin", all fine.
I install XMLTV and point "EPG Source" to the produced xmlfile. All fine.

I run "Map digital channels to EPG channels", rescan, and find some channels. There is a preview picture WORKING here. When the scan is done, I get to map some channels (not all).

I go over to the "Channels" tab and it is empty. Huh?
I close down the config program, and immediately shift to the "Channels" tab again. Voila - about 20 channels.

I close down config and open GBPVR 0.9912. Whenever I choose "TVGuide" or "LiveTV" I get: "No channels have been setup. Please run the ..."

When I re-enter "Config" there are still about 20 channels under "Channels" tab.

Any idea of what might be wrong? I am open for anything...

Hi Sub,

I've a problem with Live TV on the MVP. I've a Nova-t 500 and the config is set to DVR-MS mux (Cyberlink mux installed for transcode on recordings a.s.a.p). Use Live Preview mode not ticked.

If I select live TV on the MVP, there is about a 5 second pause on the menu then is goes to a black screen for 3-4 seconds, they you get the OSD for a few seconds before the playback starts. After a time which varies between a few seconds and a couple of minutes, playback suddenly stops and you're dumped back to the main menu. If playback seems stable, changing channel also causes dropout.

Playback of live TV on the PC is fine and so is recording playback on the MVP (including playback of a recording in progress). It's just Live TV on the MVP that refuses to work. I've tried upping the MVP LiveTV pre-play as far as 5000ms but it doesn't seem to alter things.

Any ideas. (logs attached)

I explored using GBPVR as my PVR software well over a year ago, however, I ran into one severe show stopper: the IR codes for my set top box. I have a Motorola (formerly Next Level Communications) RG2200. As a stop gap measure (and to keep the wife happy), I used Tivo, with the hopes my IR code woes would be solved a year on.

Sadly, my card manufacturer (Hauppauge PVR 150) still doesn't have IR codes for my set top box.

Can anyone suggest a work around or some equivalent codes for my set top box? I've researched it heavily, and have only found that Tivo has the codes, and I'd rather not stay with Tivo. I would like to make GBPVR my PVR again.

Suggestions?
