I have GB-PVR up and running on an 800 MHz processor, 1GB memory system, with a Hauppage PVR-350 connecting to a TV. Seems to work fine (fingers crossed). Now I want to move the system to my main TV, but the problem is the short length of the IR receiver cord - there is no way I can position the computer behind the TV stand and have the IR Receiver extend to a point where the remote can "see" it.
I thought about pointing the receiver at the ceiling and hoping I could "bounce" the remote signal, but I'm skeptical. Has anyone tried this? Or does anyone have any idea how I can extend the length of the IR receiver cord so I can place the receiver more reasonably?
For the record, I searched the forums, the FAQ, and the Wiki documentation but couldn't find anything on this
My goal is to run movies from GBPVR on an MVP on a 4x3 TV with correct aspect.
Zprocess = 1.0.1001
GBPVR = 99.12
I was able to configure ZProcess and process movie x. (Bitrate=4000, 640x480,mencoder,NTSC,4x3).
Can't seem to run any others.
Couple of questions.
Do i need to 'pre-process every movie? I thought they process on the fly, therefore I don't need to really do anything except run the movie from MVP.
Other movies call up an instance of Hunter and ZProcess, which then kills itself.
I believe I am missing something simple.
Any ideas?
I am having a problem where I will be listening to songs and while I am navigating through my artists/albums/songs all of a sudden the MVP will lock up. The playlist however will continue to play. Whne the next song comes on it will then "execute" some of the navigation clicks that I have done, then start playing the next song, and then lock up again. The same process is repeated when the next song starts again as well. I am not sure if this is a new problem for me or not since I have not used ML2 heavily in the past. I'm not sure if it matters but I have about 20,000 songs in my collection. I also have the "All" option turned off. I am running the latest version of GBPVR (+ a hot fix that I found from March that I thought might fix things) and ML2. My operating system is Windows Media Center. Any ideas?
I am looking at the possibilities of a trickle download plugin that can download torrents, google videos, yahoo videos and other IPTV feeds in slow time i.e. NOT streaming for play back at a later time, I was thinking of supporting the world wide services as opposed to country specific i.e. not Amazon unbox - USA only nor ITV - UK only.
It would need to support RSS feed reception.
first off is someone already working on this so I am wasting my time or has it even been done and I am just a mushroom?
If I dont hear anything then I will presume I am wasting my time, so if its done tell me, if you would like it tell me!
Is it possible to output what's displayed on laptop that has a tv-out via svideo to a regular tv, w/ the click of a remote button (either the firefly mini, or the diamond pvr660 remote, or wintv pvr usb2 remote)? I usually have to right click on desktop INTEL EXTREME GRAPHICS-->GRAPHICS OPTIONS-->OUTPUT TO (select tv)
I have just installed Vista and am trying to get GBPVR to work. The Capture card is a Nova T Usb2 and the following sympton seems to happen. You get sound but no video. The version of Vista is actually the business edition and the installation did seem to pick up drivers for the the USB based card. The GBPVR install worked ok and did scan for channels. I have tried some test captures but the results were the same sound but no video. Any help or clue would be extremely helpful,
Some help needed please! I have spent loads of time searching the forums and reading through the manuals etc and just can't get a picture. I have a Nova T-500 installed and have configured both tuners and uploaded the EPG using XMLTV GUI.
However when I start GBPVR and select either TV Guide or Live TV I get no picture or sound and the same repsonse 'No channels have been set up.......' and so on.
Wintv2000 works fine but I don't want to use it!
I just installed v99.12 and am having issues with both GBPVR and Config not being able to connect to the recording service. When I try to watch LiveTV the program freezes for about 5 minutes then gives me this error in the logs:

The same thing happens when I try to change the config. I run config, then click OK and it just hangs until I kill it.
When I run netstat -o from a cmd line, I see:
Code:
TCP DESKTOP:4843 localhost:7968 ESTABLISHED 1124
TCP DESKTOP:7968 localhost:4843 ESTABLISHED 3064
The PIDs correspond to the recording service and the gbpvr or config programs.
I'm pretty sure I have everything installed correctly. I tried disabling my firewall and don't have any proxy servers or anything. I've attached my logs.
