  Critique Please

Greetings Folks

I am attempting my first HTPC and would really appreciate your citique of my choosen components.

I already have a case (mid-tower but will replace later), drives and a pvr-150.

Reason for a graphics card is that I want my output to the tv to be good, better than on-board tv-out.

So please take a look at my list and let me know your thoughts please.

  Video Archive & Recordings
Posted by: cpenney - 2007-03-24, 08:28 PM - Forum: Video Archive - Replies (1)

I know at one point the Video Archive plugin used to remove recordings when they were moved to the video archive area. For some reason this isn't happening for me anymore. I'm not sure how long ago unfortunately. I've been using version 3.0. Is this a toggle setting?

  how long does mvp work before breaking?

So I'm trying to figure out if I should get an MVP for $100, or contribute that amount to getting a standalone dvd recorder + hdd combo. Do mvp's last for more than a year before breaking?

  VideoLibrary: Allowing large resolution images in Filmstrip mode...
Posted by: Rich - 2007-03-24, 07:43 PM - Forum: Wishlist - No Replies

Right now, it seems the software requires an image that's about 310x246, or something close to that for the small icon view, and then it takes that image and scales it up to fit into the main filmstrip window.

My wish is that an image could be whatever size you wanted, and the software would scale it down to fit the 310x246 for the small icon size and maybe even scale it down to fit the bigger window, which I believe is in the realm of 512x400?

Movie posters which start at the small resolution really lose their... readability? when they get scaled up.

  Visual Pinball+GBPVR = trouble
Posted by: pastro - 2007-03-24, 07:42 PM - Forum: GB-PVR Support (legacy) - No Replies

On my laptop which has a very minimal 99.12 GBPVR setup, Visual Pinball which is a Direct Show application runs poorly when GBPVR is idle (no screensaver either) On VP I have problems with stuttering audio, and no keyboard input for a second or more at a time.

As soon as I turn off GBPVR, all problems go away and the game plays much smoother.

As a test I ran an MP3 playback WMP11 while VP was running - no degradation.
I also played an FLV video with WMP11 while VP was running. Some video stuttering but no lockups on the audio or inputs.

I removed all plugins from GBPVR/plugins - no change
I disabled all remaining builtin plugins - no change.
I've disabled all direct X acceleration - no change.

I've managed to find some tweaks to allow other apps to have more CPU access while VP is running and that makes it work much better but then of course the game slows down because of the tweak so it's not a desirable solution.

GBPVR when it's idling occasionally has about 10% CPU usage but these spikes don't seem to correspond to the lockups which are really frequent.

The suggestion at VP forum was to quit out of GBPVR. That's not in the cards since the idea is to eventually get it launched by GBPVR.
Seems to me that it is a Direct Show contention but I don't know how to resolve it

Anyone have any suggestions?

  PCAlchemy ad window

How long has PCAlchemy had its ad window in the forum site? You would think other web based PC hardware vendors would advertise here too. Not that I want to see this forum site with as much ad space as most websites.

The way it is now is perfect. I think avsforum is overdone but they also have

I guess GPVR does pretty good for only being a single DVR, albeit the best. Avsforum talks about every piece of av eqpt out there.

  Flimstrip View in VideoLibrary
Posted by: Rich - 2007-03-24, 05:47 PM - Forum: GB-PVR Support (legacy) - Replies (3)

Hi all,

I'm trying to incorporate my movie collection into GBPVR using VideoLibrary.. So far, it works really well... pick the movie, play off it goes. Now, when I put it into Filmstrip view, I notice i can make icons to put in for the "big view"...

so, after reading this thread... http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...deoLibrary ... I noticed that the small icons are supposed to be 310x248... So I make them that size and they appear to look fine as the small icon, but the large view (the one that goes in the center of the Filmstrip view) is all muddled.

My guess is, this image is the small one I have and it is scaled up. Is there any way to put a bigger image into that large view? I realize because it's going to TV and all that I have at most 512x400 or so for the big image.. (I put an image with lines up, and measured it...)

If I make an image the size of the big window, it still gets scaled up, so the image never displays correctly...

Maybe this is more of a wishlist thing than anything, but does anyone know if it's possible to override what happens and have two images for each movie?

  GBPVR.exe crashes: GBPVR.Backend.Common.ScheduleHelper.getInstance() method not found
Posted by: tschoo - 2007-03-24, 05:43 PM - Forum: GB-PVR Support (legacy) - Replies (2)

Hi,

Since I upgraded from 0.96.12 to 0.99.12 (and also upgraded to .NET 2.0),
GBPVR.exe crashes each time when I try to playback a video, regardless
if I do it via PVR350 TV-out or via the software decoder.
The log-file says:
2007-03-24 06:31:51.588 ERROR [11] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION:: System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'GBPVR.Backend.Common.ScheduleHelper GBPVR.Backend.Common.ScheduleHelper.getInstance()'.

at System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart_Context(Object state)
at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(ExecutionContext executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state)

Can anybody help me?
(I am using W2K).

What's the best choice for UK dvb-t ('Freeview') tuners on the PCI bus. Additionally what's an appropriate CPU/chipset combination for a 3 tuner setup?
