With the current version, does Auto Convert (setup as: convert DVR-MS to MPEG2, ASAP) work with manual recordings and/or if you cancel a recording before show end?
When I check the log, it appears not to attempt conversion at all though it is initializing for ASAP conversion.
I have an Aopen 915gmm HFS 1gig of memory and a Nvidia 7300LE. With my FloppyDTV card I can pick up the BBC High Definition channel. I am using PowerDVD trial as my decoder.
Unfortunately the image is jerky. I currently have a 1.5Ghz Penitum M processor with 1meg cache which I could upgrade to 2.13ghz with 2meg of cache. Has anyone got experience with the Pentium M and HDTV would such an upgrade be successful.
Currently my PC is < 8 ft from my TV and connected via VGA cable. Soon, I will be moving my PC into a closet and need a 30 ft cable to connect them. All the opinions online are very different. Some say 30 ft will be fine, other say more than 10 ft needs a signal amplifier. Input from the group would be greatly appreciated, especially if it's from experience.
I have a nVidia Video card with S-Video, DVI, and VGA output; and a 37" LG 720 LCD TV. Also, in the not too distant future I'll be upgrading to satellite (HD).... if it even matters when it comes to cable.
I might convert to NTFS to get past the 4 GB barrier. Since I have multiple PCs and laptops in the network and each are for certain things I need to be able to access them all from any other, so I need to look at the pros and cons of going to NTFS. Any help is appreciated.
Sorry for the newbie question but I tried to use the search function on here but no luck. Couldn't find a way to search for multiple words.
I plan on installing gbpvr and using it instead of Windows Media Center but I was wondering if it would cause any problems. Or do I need to get a copy of Windows XP Home.
I have 4 capture sources available for recordings ( 2 x Hauppauge 500PVR).
I was running version 98.8 perfectly and recently upgraded to 99.5.
Now i have a problem when recording two shows after another on the same channel. For example show 1 is from 20:30 untill 21:00 and show 2 is from 21:00 untill 21:30. I have a pre-padding of 5 minutes and a post-padding of 15 minutes. No other recordings are scheduled for this time so tuner 3 and 4 are free.
Show 1 starts to record untill 20:55 when it is time to start recording show 2. Then the log shows : "Schedule recording is allocated to a tuner that is currently in use.... Moving recording to another available capture source."
So he starts to move the recording from tuner1 to tuner 2 with the result that he starts to record in a new file. The recording shows Failed and points to the second file (Gilmore girls_20070206_20302130-2.mpg).
Also see the attached log files.
Is there a solution for this??? A setting i can change?
I have four tuners available for recording so there is no need to switch tuners during recordings.
Help!
Last night I was recording a programme and stupidly switched the PC off before GBPVR had finished, even though it was just in it's 4 mins of padding after the programme.
Now I can't play the file, even though it's 1.4Gb. Is there anyway I can restore it, or tell GBPVR to finalise the file in some way?
I still have 2 temp files in the programme's folder.
I'm fairly new to gbpvr and very much like it. Thing is, I use it on a 8"-Touchscreen (mainly Music-Jukebox, PVR) and can't really control it with my pen (no mouse, no keyboard).
Is there a skin that has scrollbars, vertical and horizontal (tv-guide)?
Hi Psycik, following your wonderful work in speeding up the random playlist; is there any way to speed up the initial plugin load? - i'm guessing that my problem is again due to DB size (around 15Meg).
Obviously I need to wait for it to read the DB at some point, but it would be better for me if the plugin loaded first, and the DB filled up in the background, as unless theres some 'instant' feedback when I hit the ML2 menu button, it's hard to know whether the remote press has been received or not.
I've noticed that the TV listings plugin expolits this behavior, so I'm guessing it should be possible somehow......
EDIT: OK forget ALL of that - read the wiki and turned off the (All) thingy. One big RTFM to myself......
