I love GB-PVR, but recently I've been having a pretty serious problem. Since upgrading to 99.12 parts of my shows have been missing!
When I play the files, they are short (like 44 minutes for an hour-long show). I watched one of them, and the beginning and the end were there, but a big chunk was missing from the middle. This is very frustrating.
I've attached the logs, although I couldn't find much of anything in there...An example of a show that displayed this behavior was Lost which is in the GBPVRRecordingService.exe.log file at 2007-03-21 09:55:01.875.
I never encountered this problem in the year or so I was running a previous version, but I really don't want to switch back as I had some annoying issues with that version as well.
Video and audio work fine at first under Vista. But after a minute or so the sound continues fine, but the video looks like the frame rate drops to almost zero. It looks more like a slide show. After about three minutes, frames stop changing entirely - one frame remains displayed. Never any problem with sound. Changing channels seems to just reset the timer - in another minute the problem is back.
I'm a beginner with GBPVR, but not with computers or video.
Question for you. I like the red background for already scheduled recordings when in the search guide. The problem I am seeing is lets say I have something recording on Discovery channel. That show can be repeated many many times. The red background is there for every instance of that particular show even though I am only recording one instance of it. Is that the behavior you expect? Or would you expect it to only go red for the actual instance you had scheduled? Just curious.
I record old re-runs of Gunsmoke for my Grandfather. Some of them are two-part episodes. If I have the config set to no allow duplicates, it will only record part one and ignore part two. I get my EPG from zap2it.
It would be really cool to allow record duplicates by channel, or even by show.
While watching live TV, I hit the Guide button and get the guide. It would be great if I input numbers while the guide is displayed, and it jumped the guide to that channel and had it at the top of the list.
In upper right corner, the current time is displayed when I watch live TV and press the Guide button. The time is in black, should be in white, or can I configure the color somewhere?
Can Anyone tell me if going to a PCI video card would be worth it?
I have a chance to get (for free) a compaq presario. It only has 64mb of on board video (no tv-out) memory. Could I put a PCI video card in it? (not PCI-e) to get TV-out? I mean I know I could... But would it be worth it? The Presario blows my current system away except for Video.
And If I did go PCI video.. witch one? I was told Radion 9250? any good?
Yeah, when I try to update the EPG (DVB Broadcast), it crashes GB-PVR. If I do it from the tray icon, it pops up, then goes white (as in no response), then disappears. It used to work. I didn't change anything that I can think of. I did a complete fresh install to see if something was just a little weird with a config file, but nope, same problem.
I'll attach my logs for you if you want them. Any idea what would cause this?
Thanks (btw, now that I programmed my own transponder file, all my channels come in, and everything works great!)
