I am having a problem with my HTPC. I have my rig connected to my HDTV via DVI to HDMI cable and I am running GBPVR with 1 Vbox DTA-150 ATSC card. While the unit is recording a show, if I switch the TV to the HDMI input to watch the HTPC, the unit will reboot. This only happenes if it is recording. I am at a loss as to why this is happening. I am planning to build a backend server and have it do the recording, hopefully soon, but I would really like to find out why this is happening and how to fix it.


Anyone have any ideas???

I'm trying to setup my firefly remote to change the channel on my dish receiver. In the capture source that I setup, I believe that I have to create a link to the Firefly software used to control the remote. I tried doing this by setting the "Channel Changer" option to ".exe Changer Plugin". Then I clicked on settings. In that window I set the Executable to be "C:\Program Files\SnapStream Media\Firefly\Firefly.exe" and Parameters to be "{channel}". However, this did not work. I tried linking to other executables in the same directory but none of them worked.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

I have been encountering a problem on an almost daily basis lately: during the first half hour of my nightly recordings, the recording service crashes and will not restart unless I 1.) kill all GBPVR processes in task manager, or 2) reboot. This used to happen once or twice a week, but it's happened three nights running now.:confused:

I first started having this problem when I switched from cable TV to satellite and installed ATSC tuner cards to receive the local broadcast channels I used to be able to get from the cable feed without a decoder box. I am wondering if a temporary loss of signal from the ATSC card might be causing the problem?

Here's my specs:
GBPVR 0.99.5
AMD Athlon 64 3400+
Windows XP Pro (SP2)
2 GB RAM
2x250GB SATA Striped RAID array for recordings
AVerTVHD MCE A180 (2) for OTA ATSC
WinTV PVR 150 MCE for Satellite feed
WinTV PVR 250 for OTA analog & composite input

I have attached the most recent logs.

Any help would be appreciated.

I had a good working system but it stopt recording sound after feb 18. There were some MS updates installed on that date.
Removing these update and even did a system restore to feb 17 but still no sound in the recorded video's

I have tried reinstalling the pvr-500 driver and GBPVR software but without succes.

Hope someone can help.

I'm using ffmpeg to create thumbnails from programmes I have recorded and are now in my video library.

In some cases, the thumbnail -- a jpeg 720x576 in size -- is slightly blurred when displayed in the filmstrip preview of the videolibrary. When I look at the jpg in the standard windows picture and fax viewer, it is ok. I have it scaled back down to 310x248 for the preview image.

There are several episodes in each folder (Lost, Desperate Housewives) and the blurriness seems to be limited to the first two thumbnails in each folder.

Could this have something to do with the way the thumbnails are loaded/cached by GB-PVR or can I change some setting somewhere (or get glasses :-)). I tried changing the number of seconds into the film that ffmpeg takes the jpg from, but it didn't make any difference.

Thanks

Version 2.0 of the WebCams plugin is now available on the wiki.

Changes include
* Added the ability to edit the WebCam list from the GBPVR config app.
* Press OK/enter while viewing a WebCam to force a refresh.
* WebCam images are now scaled up to make them easier to see
* Added support for HTTP authentication.

Upgrade notes
You only need to extract WebCamsPlugin.dll. Be carefull you don't overwrite your current WebCams list (WebCams2.xml)

Hi,

I want to know if it's possible that GBPVR can work with one hardware encoder card and one software encoder card simultaneously?

Thank you

I was reading the Home server thread and I had a thought.... ( bearing in mind I have no idea if MHS will do this any way ).

In all likleyhood many of us with the coming of MHS will be getting many Terrabytes in the home in the near furture - how can we use this ? Mp3s are didy, downloaded movies are not that big... ok - what about your home DVD collections ?

Well currently you could rip just the movie but that takes for ever ( and not as good quality ) .... what if with GBPVR you could pull the DVD off as a whole ( encripted may be to prevent sharing ) and play it back if selected exactly the same but off the hard disk - eg play the iso.

You'd keep the same quality, all the interactive features but best of all you can use any where.

What do you think, is there any milage in that Sub ?

I got turned on to Folding@Home by a post in this forum.

I have had it running on my old PIII GBPVR rig as well as the other 2 machines in my house for a couple of months with absolutly no problems. The software is very well behaved and runs at low priority.

Would anyone here be interested in starting a GBPVR Folding@Home team?

Hi,
I'm trying to adjust the Blue skin for the UbuRadio plugin and can't seem to find where to adjust the size of the pop-ups (i.e. make them bigger as I changed the text size)

I'm talking about the pop-up which appears when I select a stream and I get the pop-up with station name, format, genre and the 3 buttons Preview, Timeshift, Add.

Thanks
