Really enjoy using GBPVR and especially the New Version ....:confused: however there are a few questions regarding the use of the Netradio Function....
How can I add more Internet Radio Stations and how do you put those stations on your Favorites List!

'Stumbled Upon' this today, seems to be very much the 'Joost' idea without the teasing beta testing!

Quality is low, although most channels look acceptable on an SDTV, it wouldn't be much use on LCD/Plasma TV's.

There lots of channels though and worth a look. I think i might add a custom command to it from GBPVR for when im bored and theres little recorded.

is it possible to get this to load with a static ip and crossover cable i have been trying to do it loading with hauppauge soft but cant get it to load it says loading applicaton then goes back to contacting servers i tried to make a config file but im not sure if this will work at all also i have an older mvp

My machine has done this quite a few times, it will randomly stop updating the EPG, I have found that it is usually because it gets confused about the date, after it misses an EPG update for some reason.

it can be seen in this

I currently have a Windows 2003 Server running Swisscenter to serve vob files to a couple of media players. I am thinking about purchasing an HDHomeRun and installing GB-PVR, which should allow me to record to the server and watch through the media players (I know that I won't be able to schedule the recordings through swisscenter). The server is an Athlon XP 3200+ with 512MB of RAM (1.2TB RAID for storage). I have a workstation that is a Celeron 2.4GHz with 1GB of memory. I was thinking that recording through the server may slow down responsiveness of Swisscenter. Would it make more sense to install GB-PVR on the server or the workstation?

Sorry to sound like a n00b (I generally amn't!), but confirm for me my mediaMVP setup (trying to get aspect ratio working correctly). I'm stepping through the Wiki beta-release notes (http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Utili...ess#toc16), but not having success the MediaMVP displaying a letterboxed video, although the test procedures do convert correctly on the host CPU.

I'm using a Win2kSP4 3200+ Athlon as my media server.
Zprocess 1.0.987
GB-PVR (latest as of March 3 '07)
6.17Meg version of FFMPEG
Mencoder (latest as of March 3 '07)
MediaMVP rev D3a

0) I'm betting that all my problems stem from what happens EVERY time I start zprocess. I get "String From Text is EMPTY because this Function wasn't told when to stop. Check strEndPhrase...maybe vbTab or spaces" / "This is the strBuff: |live_tv=0|" 13 times (except the strBuff, which returns just "||" after the 1st error). It finishes with a "Form Load Timer, 5 Invalid procedure call or argument", but everything in the menu looks fine.

1) When viewing an AVI uzing zprocess, what process on the host CPU should be powering up? Zprocess, or FFMPEG? I'm getting ffmpeg.exe.

2) I don't have to use the actual "transcode" OSD button on the MVP menu, right? I should just pick the AVI, and it *should* auto-letterbox and display. Right now, I'm still getting the standard MVP "scale the whole screen until it touches top and bottom, and cut off the sides" behavior.

3) Is there a setting I could be missing in GB-PVR's config file? (Got the latest version as of March 4 '07). From what I gather, gb-pvr scalls trans2mvp which in turn runs ffmpeg to do the conversion to mpg. How/where does Zprocess intercept the call?

From the wiki:

Quote:Now let’s try it with the MVP

If you have saved these values in the Trans2MVP profile and there were no errors, and VLC was able to display an on the fly transcode, you should be ready for the next step: Watching a video on the MVP…

In theory, GB-PVR is already set to work with ZProcess, and that’s because it thinks that ZProcess is ‘ffmpeg.exe’

So if you are in the Video Screen in PVR (on the MVP) and you select your avi, in a few seconds (by the GB-PVR default of 5.5 secs) a letterboxed video should play…

What should be happening is: ZProcess should be on the server, with a MEncoder window and a Hunter window. GBPVR Recording Service is also running, serving the newly created, on-the-fly MPG to the MVP…

Quote:Now let’s tweak the colours…(and sound)

I've been searching the forum and wiki and can't find any documentation on setting up GBPvr channel changes via Girder. I'm very new to Girder, so maybe it is easy, but I'd appreciate any help on getting this set up. I am using Girder v3.3

Thanks

I'm having more than one problem but for the sake of simplicity I will list them chronologically:

1) No Mouse usage with Overlay... If I use other video settings VM7, VM9, etc. It will crash the system in less than 5 minutes of watching. Sometimes longer sometimes shorter.

2) Sometimes the recorder will not shut off. For example, I will record two shows back to back (I thought this might be the problem but it's not), and the second recording will go on for hours beyond its scheduled shut off. Same thing happens occasionally with single recordings as well, hence why I know it's not the two together.

3) Some channels don't have any picture, but this problem isn't happening to all. I checked Hauppauge's player and it doesn't have the same problem. I don't understand why.

4) I have one channel that comes in very dark. I don't know why. I literally have to adjust my monitor's brightness levels to watch it comfortably, but the others come in great. I'm not understanding that one either.

Here are my logs if anyone can help, please pm me. I just got involved with this kind of stuff, so I'm still learning a lot. I just included all the logs.

Do unused plugins slow down/clutter gbpvr? I've been testing out different plugins and I haven't uninstalled the unused plugins. Will this affect the performance of gbpvr?

Is there an autodelete utility out there that actually works?

I've tried MaxRecordings. I get database errors and it never deletes anything.

I've tried Autodelete. It never deletes anything below my threshold and my drive fills up.

Are there any other solutions?

BTW: I use PriorityRecordings to do my season records.
