noposter.gif is 100x150, which looks right in gb-pvr. But my show icons are 320x240, and they get skewed to 100x150 which makes them look weird. Is there a way to force noposter.gif to 320x240 so the dimensions are all the same? Or some ratio of 320x240, e.g. 160x120, if it's an issue of fitting so many icons in a fixed amount of space?
In my quest to wirelessly stream LiveTv to a laptop set up as a gbpvr client, I have been running a bandwidth meter to help diagnose if my connection can support it. As a recap, I can able to stream recordings without any issue and the meter tends to show about 17 Mbps data rate. When I try and stream LiveTV using file sharing i get about 1 Mbps data rate. When I stream livetv in streaming mode, i get about 8Mbps data rate. So even with streaming mode i get about half the bandwidth utilization that i get when I am watching recorded shows. I am wondering why the difference in data rates? I am guessing it is possible the reason I am not successful streaming livetv is partially due to this suboptimal utilization? As a note...when I use a hardwired connection I get similar data transfer rates. One other note...I have tried the cyberlink and ATI muxs (dvr-ms mux, as previously stated by sub does not work). The ATI has worked "best" for me. Any ideas?
One other question...is there a reason I am not able to watch recorded shows on the client when set up as streaming? Watching recorded shows only works for me when I am set up for file sharing. I was assuming that the client should be able to play recorded shows form server even in streaming mode. I have the clients recording and video libraries folder settings pointing to the servers recording folder.
I've installed GBPVR onto Vista Home Premium 32bit. Everything is OK apart from full screen, but the main thing is transcoding isn't working. I'm dual booting at the minute with XP which transcodes no problem. Both are set up identically.
Any ideas?
Love the GBPVR, in fact I'm going to add another tuner to the machine, but I have some problems with the config application. On startup, I get a pop-up with the errors shown in the bitmap in attachment startup.zip, and when I close it via the OK button, I get an unhandled exception with the details in attachment close.txt. Closes fine if I use the Cancel button, and I don't get any logs regardless.
I have tried both the normal and test release and configure each one, and I am unable to get the list of movies. It always shows the hourglass spinning, I let is run for a few hours and it never finishes. I even ran the GetDVDInfo and it finishes and populates the archive mdb, but the list is always empty. I have configured both the directories. The Getdvdinfo gets the correct list of movies and does fetch the data, but my list is always empty and the hourglass is always spinning. Any ideas?
