I'm not sure if this is expected behavior or not but I can't seem to figure it out. In the screen shot I have three programs circled. Each one does not have lines separating the programs. It's also the same for channels 12, 13, and 18 in that screen shot. I've noticed this the past few builds. It doesn't matter what channel it is and it doesn't matter what skin is used. On channels 14 & 19, there is a line separating the programs shown.
Search Results: noting this thread about a similar issue, the pre & post paddings in the search results show zero. I have them set to 1 minute in the config app.
I use the table results when searching. Can you put a line separating each result? It's not a big issue when I'm using a 1024X768 screen but when using a 1600X1200 LCD, I can't really tell if I'm checking the box for the show time I want. See second screen shot.
No matter what changes I make to the quality setting, the file size and picture quality are the same. I have tried recording high, medium, low and custom. Is there away to make changes to make the file size smaller? Is this a limitation of my capture card the Adaptec AVC-3610. I tried making changes to the ini file, but still the file size and picture quality are the same. I searched the forum for the answer, but did not find an answer for my type of tv card. Any help anyone can be will greatly be appreciated.
I downloaded gbpvr on Friday after installing a tv card (Hauppauge WinTV-Nova T 500 (dual tuner)) and watched tv with no problems. Saturday morning, I did a test record from BBC1 (I'm in the UK) for around 2 hours on a manual record, which played back perfectly. Happy bunny. I'm running the latest version of gbpvr with no plug-ins or other additions.
I recorded two programmes yesterday and whilst they appear to have recorded, I can't get them to play correctly on gbpvr or vlc. It flicked through a 30 minute show in around 10 seconds (!), jumping from frame to frame. Live TV is ok, no problems that I can see.
I've tried changing various settings (I must have altered a crucial setting somewhere tinkering about) but don't seem to be getting anywhere. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling gbpvr (rebooting in between) but each time it seems to remember the configuration settings as I last left them before uninstalling! How do I do a clean uninstall that takes everything off my system so I can install again from scratch with the default settings?
I'm completely new to tv tuner cards, so any advice would be very helpful.
Firstly, as a continued user of GB-PVR, I want to let you know what a great program I think it is and I highly appreciate all the work and development you put into it. Thus, if you are unable or uninterested in these requests, that's no problem at all, but I thought there was no harm in asking
Firstly, I was wondering if it would be possible to make the -mvpmode -visible window auto-refresh. It very nearly works, and is really useful, and I hesitated to ask you about it again, but it has a small problem. It works in that you can use the keyboard to control the MVP from the window, and when you run it, the MVP GBPVR screen does indeed come up in the window. THe problem is, whenever you use any key presses, the screen unfortunately doesn't update automatically. So when you select a menu option, the window stays the same. I found a workaround for it which I've been using, which is to drag the window off the screen and back onto it, which causes a refresh, and doing this after each keypress enables me to navigate the menus on the computer. However, if there is any way it could automatically refresh after a keypress (or even adding a manual refresh button) that'd be really useful, although I understand if its not possible.
Second, I was wondering if there could be a way to input what files are transcoded before being played on the MVP. I unfortunately have an 802.11b wireless network, too slow for the MVP upstairs to play mpeg files on the main computer downstairs. Currently, I run VLC on the laptop upstairs to access the mpeg I want to play and stream to the hard disk with a lower bitrate, which works. If there was any way I could get gbpvr to automatically do this when selecting an mpeg file, that'd be really useful.
Third (and highly unlikely), but is there any way to combine the GBPVR client mode with GBPVR mvpmode? That is to say, connect to the client GBPVR downstairs, and stream the files (which are too large to access directly over the 802.11b network) to the MVP?
As I said, although I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask just in case, if its not something simple or easily done, something you want to put in or dont have time to look at at all, that's completely fine
Thankyou again for developing such a great application, which I can confidently say is one of the most featureful, yet stable and well developed applicaitons I have ever used, and thanks for taking the time to read my post
When ever I try to map digital channels to the EPG with GB-PVR 99.12 configuration I get the Windows error that GB-PVR Configuration has encountered an unexpected error and must be closed.
I do get the channel mapping screen to pop up and it shows the list of detected channels, the channel preview window, and the guide channels, but as soon as I try to do anything it crashes.
I am using a Dell laptop with Windows XP SP2, GB-PVR 99.12, and a Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-950 USB ATSC/NTSC tuner.
The Windows error message contained these details:
Recently my PC won't to go to sleep (hybernate). The only new software I installed is GBPVR 99.12 (over the old one). PC wakes up to record correctly but when it has finished it doesn't go to sleep (but sometime it does). But obviusly, I'm not sure it due to GBPVR service.
I would like to see the gb-pvr software be able to stream what is show on my pc monitor to the mvp so that i can better stream videos and internet content also use my pc from my home tv!! Is this possible?>??
I would like to see support for my Sapphire Theatrix 550 PRO (ATI Theater 550 PRO based), including hardware decoder support. No PVR program fully supports this card and it is driving me bananas!@!:mad: :confused: :eek: . Cyberlink PowerCinema is bulky and slow (Though the only prog that has support for the remote!), and it too does not support all features of this card. What I cannot believe is that ATI dropped support for this chipset in ATI Multimedia Center! They even indicated that it was supported on the BOX! :mad:
I am looking to connect my card through the comcast settop box and want to controll the chanels through the settop box remote. Is there a way i can tune channels thru GBPVR so i can run Scheduled Recordings.
thanks
p.s. if there is any documentation on this please point me to it.
I've used comskip in the past with mixed results, have purchased ShowAnalyzer, but I found it was useless. It detected about 5% correctly. And I could not find any documentation around how to fine tune using schoolhouse (I say on the forums a number of people also having the same issues with finding any documentation).
