I can't get the dvd function to play and dvd's. It comes up to a blank screen, no audio or video. I am using a normal d: drive and have it set that way in the config app. The dvd plays fine with vlc player outside of gbpvr. It seems like this once worked when I first installed gbpvr, but I remember having to install the xp codec pack because I had no video in live/recorded mode-only sound. The codec's fixed that. Am I missing a codec or screwed one up? My only option on DVD playback tab is DVD navigator and system defaults on all decoders. Any help is greatly appreciated, I have everything else fine tuned and working great.
in 99.12, the vmr9 custom allocator seems to be also using fullscreen mode, as it's not respecting my zoom/placement settings as it used to,i checked to make sure they're still there, it just doesn't seem to honor them...
it looks just like vmr9 fullscreen exclusive...
and no osd at all in either fullscreen-vmr9 or custom alloc. modes..
[it used to work with custom renderer]
also, wasn't that already available with the <VMR9CustomUseFullscreenExclusive>true setting?
setting those to false in config doesn't seem to change anything..
and i looked in config.xml and the settiings don't change when set in config.exe
aren't they supposed to?
I have added an Email Reader to Version 2 of the Ten Foot products.
The Ten Foot Mail reader lets you monitor your Emails using just your remote. You can monitor as many Email accounts as you want. You can delete any Emails you don't want. All other Emails continue to be delivered to your normal Email program. You can protect sensitive Email accounts with a password. In any case, all passwords are stored internally using strong encryption.
Like the other Ten Foot Products:
- Ten Foot Browser
- Ten Foot Launcher
- Ten Foot File Manager
- Ten Foot Program Manager...
... the Mail Reader makes the best use of low resolution television displays by using simple screens with high resolution colours. The screens automatically resize to fit your display.
The Launcher allows the Ten Foot Products to work with all PC-based media centre software by defining hot buttons. Double-pressing a hot button brings up the Launcher so you can run any of the Products, or any other program you add to the Launcher.
You can see how I integrate GBPVR and the Ten Foot Products here.
We have made several other improvements in this new version that you can read about here.
The products are free and do not contain any adware or malware
You can out more, download the Products and get the documentation from here.
(I think I covered all of the variations in the title, but correct me if I'm wrong.)
I recently got back into the PVR game (having built my PVR back in '05). I had problems the last time around and let it sit without use for many months, so I figured I would go very slowly and carefully research each step before doing it this time around. I've formatted and installed MCE 2005, I've disabled MCE services, installed PureVideo Decoder 1.02-196, Nvidia Forceware 93.71 and I'm using the latest drivers I could find for the PVR 150 retail.
So far, Live TV works, with some minor color splotching/dimness issues, but I think these might be fixed once I apply the PureVideo Registry Patch I saw on these forums.
The main issue for me back when I first built my PVR was the ghosting/skipping in LiveTV, and I have to say that the problem seems to have been greatly reduced, even though I'm using exactly the same hardware. I can only guess that the more recent versions of Forceware, PureVideo and GBPVR have helped the issue.
One thing that confuses me is the "mux" thing. The way my setup works is that I have an s-video cable going from my set top box (digital cable from Time Warner) to my PVR 150, and another s-video cable going from a GeForce 6600 to my television (old-fashioned cathode ray tube). I'm not sure if I need a "muxer" or not.
If I do, which software package comes with a muxer? I recently purchased a DVD-writer that was packed with Cyberlink PowerDVD; will a muxer be included? What muxer have people had the most success with?
MuxChecker comes up blank for me, so I'm guessing a proper muxer will fix the occasional stutter I still get in LiveTV.
Any insight into the muxer issue, as well as the splotchy color/dimness issue, would be appreciated.
1) When using the Processing, "Auto convert" etc. (FFMpeg), is it possible to control the output folder?
For example, what if I wanted to leave my recordings intact, but have them all create a DivX file somewhere on the drive/network?
2) Is it possible to transcode immediatly after the recording in low CPU?
I guess the answer for both is - DIY in the PostProcessing.bat ?
I think the idea of DVD chapter skip is great. However the way that it is implemented it appears to turn off all of the skip functions > < and |< >| and doesn't allow the direct time entry, minutes + >| or |<
Now there is no way to fast forward through a part of the chapter or skip a known number of minutes in a film.
Couldn't there be a compromise that only used the >| and |< to do chapter skip and the other buttons retained their original function?
