I just installed the NVidia codec to solve a DVD closed caption problem I was having and now I have a video problem that seems to only happen during recording, but possibly once or twice even when not recording, I can't remember.
The video resized and occupies about 2/3 the width of the TV (mostly to the left of the screen) and the entire height. It will sometimes flicker between that and other aspect ratios. My aspect ratio is set to 16x9, same as my new LCD flat screen.
I'm so close to having this finished. Once this is fixed, all that's left is getting my audio to my entertainment system and I'll have one bad-ass PVR. I'm quite excited about it.
I've recently installed a second capture device in my PC, and tonight was the first time I've tried to record 2 programmes at once. When I checked the PC after the recordings were finshed there was a message box on screen (which I didn't pay much attention to - duh! ) saying something like "NT Debug", but clicking OK just cleared it. When I went to play back the recordings, both were scheduled at 20:00 but started at 20:31.
Both capture devices have been tested, and work on their own, and recordings made after the 20:00 ones seem fine. I'm using the latest version of GBPVR - 0.99.5.
I made this post because the recording service log file has lots of Exception errors like the one below, and I'm hoping sub can shed some light on them!
Code:
01/02/2007 20:22:15.593 ERROR [6] Caught unexpected exception: System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: Could not use ''; file already in use.
I am trying to setup a client on my laptop, but I cannot seem to be able to play files. I use overlay, which produces an error when trying to playback. Anything else will cause GBPVR to hang and I have to force close it. Files play fine in WMP directly from the share. Logs attached. Thanks in advance.
Sub, I'm have a problem with xp hanging and requiring a reboot in the Digital Channel Mapping config page.
I get the list of channels found, but when I try to display them in the preview window, certain channels display a messed up picture, a short burst of sound then hang.
2.2 WGBH-HD (000) will cause the hang.
Some channels work OK.
Not sure if there is any info in the logs, as the system hangs.
Sub, here are the logs you requested. I cleaned the config log then ran a scan.
Ignore the "Unexpected error parsing scan information" at the bottom. I cancelled the scan after I got what I needed.
One particular channel for you to look at is physical channel 14, virtual 109.11
It looks like GB-PVR is receiving the channel info twice, once after it switches to the next channel. So it thinks that it is getting the info for physical channel 15.
New user, moved from XP MCE to GB-PVR, so far I like it, however, my bareboxes system came with a tv card that to date I have not used since mce did not support it.
Its listed in device manager as the following (and the drivers for this are also installed)
conexant wdm video capture, audio capture, tv-tuner etc
I have tried using the h150 to no evail, and I think what I have is a fusion card, but of course its not listed.
Can anyone help me out here, what can I do to get it working?
Hi, I'm experiencing audio out of sync on MVP playback. Can anyone offer any suggestions as to why this is happening please and how to go about remedying this problem?.
I'm looking for a 2nd capture card for my HTPC, that comes with a remote. I'd prefer to get an 550 Pro chipset card, but they are like twice the price.
I'm having a problem with DVDs burned using ShowBurner2 after I've run comclean on the source MPG file. Any MPGs that I haven't run comclean on burn to DVD using ShowBurner2 and work fantastic (Thanks pBS!). So, I'm just wondering if there is an inherent problem with using ShowBurner2 on "comcleaned" MPG files. The resultant bad DVDs are off wrt audio sync and are very jerky wrt video. I've tried 3 different files and all exhibit the problem. However, the source "comcleaned" MPG file plays fine in Windows Media Player. I thought I had read a post where someone was successfully using ShowBurner2 with "comcleaned" MPG files... not certain though. I'm using GB-PVR v0.99.5, ShowBurner2.5, comskip79_59 and comclean_0_0_6.
There appears to be a bug in the TV guide regarding the new "reminder" type of listing. it does obey the showStatusColor setting.
this is what happens in the blue skin
showStatusColor = true makes everything in the channel section of the guide work fine, shows are displayed in their defined colors at all times (whether or not they are selected)
showStatusColor = false, listings are only displayed in their defined color only when they are selected and are normal the rest of the time. Except for reminders, they seem to be treated like "normal" listings)
the color for reminders is not used in the timeline, but the color for a scheduled recording is, only if the whole block is visible in the timeline (eg. hour long show with only 1/2 hour visible on the guide, does not get highlighted in the timeline)
I have no idea what happens with conflicts, I dont have any
) saying something like "NT Debug", but clicking OK just cleared it. When I went to play back the recordings, both were scheduled at 20:00 but started at 20:31.
