Hey sub,
Any way you would allow .bat files to be custom tasks? I have some programs I would like to launch through gbpvr but they can only be launched from the folder the exe is located in. I would rather not move them into the gbpvr folder since there are other files that need to be moved other then the exe and I don't want to start adding a bunch of stuff to the gbpvr installation folder.
I purchased an ATI TV Wonder 550 from Buy.com last week when they were running a special. I paid around $46 to have it shipped to the house using Google Checkout to get $10 off . I was going to return the card even before it arrived because I thought it did not have mpeg-2 hardware encoding. When the box arrived it says it has hardware encoding. Is this similar to the Theater Pro 550 that shows as supported? Will this card work with GBPVR? If so, does it work as well as the Hauppauge PVR-150? Are there any issues I should know about before opening this unit? The box also shows an offer for a "Free Remote". I am not sure which remote they offer.
I watched the CPU usage while GPBPVR is just sitting at a menu (actually, I guess it was on the screensaver) and there is a curious pattern in CPU usage that emerges. It it low (under 5%) for 6-7 seconds, then 45-50% for GBPVR for a second or two, then it repeats.... (See the attached capture).
Anyone know if this is normal? Seems really strange....
When I schedule a show using the EWA it shows zero minutes of pre and post padding. In GBPVR config I have set default padding to be one minute each for pre and post padding. Is there a way for EWA to grab these defaults from GBPVR config? It is a bit of a pain to keep putting 1's in the padding fields of EWA.
I am brand new to this and have tried to find as much info as I can but still struggling.
I have a Satellite card by DigiTop that another piece of software identifies it as a "Twinhan VisionPlus Satellite ST-03T". I can't seem to find any DBA drivers for it and GB-PVR doesn't recognize any devices on my machine. I have been watching satellite with this card for quite awhile now and would like to try it with GB-PVR.
How do I prevent certain channels from running processing bats. I have video inputs as well as movie stations that dont have commercials and dont need or want them to run processing.
I have recently set up a htpc with gbpvr and have a parallelprocessing.bat that runs for comskip, clean, retime and rename but when I play the recorded show back there is still the comskip markers in the timeline / playline that then automaticly skips over parts of the show when it plays. How can I prevent this from happening?
I am to build a DVR box. I already have the box and am looking for a tuner. I am looking at the WinTV-HVR-1600 for the HDTV features for the future while using the analog support right now. I will be running this on a dual P3 800MHZ server with 512 megs of ram.
Is the tuner a good choice and will dual 800MHz P3s be powerful enough to record SDTV as I am under the assumption that it is not powerful enough to record HDTV(I have a Athlon X2 4400 box if I wanted HDTV so that is not a big worry)?
When I play Live TV or recorded videos back through GB-PVR, they have a blue washed out hue to them, skintones are all blueish and colors just seem generally wrong... I tried manipulating settings and even tried using the Hauppauge Tweaker, nothing I did would make the colors on Live TV or recorded Video look normal. Yet if I play DVD's on the computer using Intervideo, the colors look perfectly fine. Today I tried playing a 30 minute show I recorded thru GB-PVR using Intervideo, and it's colors look perfectly fine in Intervideo! But if I play the same 30 minute clip in GB-PVR, it's colors are blue and washed out... why is this and what can I do to get the right results. Do I have something set wrong somewhere??? Thanks!
