To access my subscription card I need to make a Viaccess cam emu work. Several places report that this:http://dvb.perch.dk/UVCE3996.zip
works with progdvb and mytheatre. GBPVR seems to ignore it completely though. I have other plugins showing up correctly but not this one.
I've seen several threads asking similar questions, but I'm still not sure what to do with this issue. I'll just lay out my scenario and maybe someone can point me in the right direction.
I'm putting together a PVR for my parents. Right now, my mom tapes Days of Our Lives everyday. If the old man wants to use the comcast box where the PVR is, she takes here tape into another room to watch it on the VCR.
I want to be able to do something similar with PVR recordings. The obvious choice would seem to involve writing them to DVDs. If there is another way to go, I'd love to know.
Anyway, how do I turn the PVR records into something that I can burn that will work on a "normal" DVD player? Does it have to be written as MPEG2? Is this something that can be done on the spot, or does it take so long that it has to be done as a batch process at night? If I only care about, say, VCR level quality, how many hours of recorded TV could I get on a disk.
I know there are probably a lot of ways to go about this. If someone has advice let me know. Point me to other forums, whatever.
I'm would like to kindly request a feature of RSS feeds for "Pending", "In Progress", "Available", "Failed", "Conflict" recordings. The link in the RSS feed would point towards the UNC path of the recording if applicable. Ideally, these feeds could be made available from the web server to it's easily accessible from other machine. I think something simple would work fine but ideally the RSS feeds could be customized using options in the request.
This would allow one to use desktop widgets on the recording server and/or client/remote systems. This would give the users a good view into GB-PVR at a glance from the desktop.
I'm using Zoomplayer Professional for all of my media playback on my HTPC. The primary reasons for using Zoomplayer is that the PQ and stability are unmatched and that the family is most comfortable with a single UI for control of playback.
I've been using GB-PVR to record HD shows on a 24/7 desktop/workstation with the GB recordings directory shared via the network to the HTPC. I've been using the web interface to schedule and manage recordings. This setup has some limitations and I would ideally would like a 2nd GB-PVR "client" installation on the HTPC. This would allow me to use the GB-PVR interface to schedule and manage recording while still being able to use ZP for playback. I'm have no plans to use LiveTV as my HD STB is a better solution for LiveTV.
TVedia supports using a 3rd party media player.
SageTV supports using a 3rd party media player.
I've pretty much settled into making GB-PVR work as solution and this is one of the features I'm really missing. I'm offering a donation of $79.95 (SageTV license cost) for this feature to be added to GB-PVR.
I wanted to use GBPVR to be able to watch tv from my normal capture card (ATI 550), my OTA HD card, and also to play games through the composite in of my 550. I set up the composite last night after monkeying around for a while to figure out how to get it to work (you have to set it up as a seperate capture device and assign a channel to it), but the problem is when I go to it it starts that crazy "time-shifting" thing and everything is a few seconds delayed which makes game playing impossible..is it possible to turn off this annoying feature? I don't want to rewind or pause tv..I also don't want it shortening the life span of my hard drives by constantly writing data to them.
So I have everything perfect except for one thing... On channels where the bottom portion of the screen has scolling text. That text is a little blurry, and it is jerkey and stutters sometimes. Examples of channels like this are: Fox News, CNN, NFL Network, ESPN etc.. All other channels look Great. The NFL Network is the worst one for me. The scrolling text at the bottom of it seems to get jerkey more then any of the other scrolling text channels. I have tried different deinterlacers, and the best one that I have found is the: "MPV Decoder Filter". It did as well or better then Nvidia Purevideo. I don't think that I'm having a problem with decoding, but I think there is something with the way the PVR-150 interprits the text. Even if I record a sample of NFL Network, the recording still has the jerkey text and blury text. Even when I burn it to DVD, or play it on another PC... I have tried Overlay, VMR7, VMR9, and VMR9 Custom, and all have the same symptoms only on channels that have scrolling text. My setup is this:
P4 2.4 Ghz
1 Gig Ram
250 GB Hard Drive
PVR-150 ( Non-MCE ) ( Latest drivers ) Version 2.7
ATI Radeon 9550 with 256 MB RAM ( Latest drivers )
Windows XP Home ( All updates etc... )
I'm connected to the PVR-150 using composite.
Any tips would be appreciated. I know this is minor issue, but my Tivo unit does not display the same behavior, so I'm trying to get to that level before I replace the Tivo with this. Should I consider another capture card other then the PVR-150??
I'm totally new to GB-PVR, but I must say this soft looks good..!!
I use a Technotrend DVB-S2 3200 and although I understand diSEcq isn't supported for this card, my first satellite scans fine and I get a really good picture. Using the mdplugin as well.
But I cant get subtitles to work..
I've enabled the subtitles in the configuration, scanned channels and entered the teletext-page to be used, which is 199 for my channels.
