Hi - just installed a PVR-150 Tuner card in an Althlon 2000+ with 256MB of memory (I will be getting an add'l 512MB tomorrow to speed things up). I have connected my TV cable into the new tuner card...

I then installed GBPVR and loaded up EPG listings with ZAP2IT. That seemed to work fine. So now when I go to view Live TV in GBPVR the screen is all shaky and stuttery... totally unwatchable. I assume I have some settings wrong? Can anyone help me? Not trying to use this machine as a client, just trying to watch straight live TV. Let me know if I need to provide more info to help troubleshoot my issue. Thanks!

I have seen a few cases on the market that have 7" LCD screens built into the case. Also a few custom cases where people have built them into cases.
What purpose could the lcd screen serve with an application such as GBPVR? I have an extra 8" screen laying around that I could put to some use, but I'm just not sure how useful it would actually be.

I would enjoy hearing some suggestions about what could the LCD could get put to use for.

Can't wait to hear some suggestions,

Carlito

Sub,

I have several custom buttons to run batch scripts. Lately I switch between server and client mode, I notice the custom buttons not show up on the menu if GBPVR in the client mode.

I put all my custom buttons in one subfolder, but now I want to create another subfolder to handle more custom buttons, but I don't see any buttons on the 2nd submenu in the server mode.

Please check. Thanks.

I am having trouble with GBPVR locking up whenever it starts a recording. This locks up the entire computer and requires a manual restart. This is really annoying. I was able to get 4 shows recorded on Suday or Monday. these were hour long shows with high settings and 3 min padding. So I have been trying to leave the interface up in Full Screen and windowed mode with the screensaver on and it still locks up in both instances. I think that it has something to do with comskip but I am not for sure. Most of My shows record back to back but I assume GBPVR knows not to try to pad if there is another show coming on. Last night it recorded a few shows that showed up as ready in the recordings section but when you selected them and pressed play they locked up the computer. These files were completed shows with comskipfiles and they were not 0 size files. Another recording was going on when I attempted to view a completed recording and it locked.
So for my current test I have reduced padding to 0 and started running comskip during the recording. Also the GBPVR interface is not running just the recording service. SO I will see if it locks it up this time. Does anyone think that showanalyzer is a better option? I think that if it still locks up I am going to uninstall all wintv IR and GBPVR programs and start over, I have read here that I dont need to install the IR.exe for the haupauge remote I have the 45 button. I just need to run the Fix? and then in MISC tab set it to direct control by haupauge remote? Is this correct? i think that I will also add more ram at this time if I take the machine down. I defraged last night just for the heck of it. Thanks for reading and thanks for any insight into my problems. I am a noob so just trying to get it to work.


Here are some logs from two different lockups these logs were taken after the restart if that matters.

System(Dedicated PVR)
1.6a pentium

120GB
PVR 150 With the very latest drivers
Nvidia TI500 graphcard.

any thoughts on adding a transcoding option to EWA?

Just a quick question about comclean.

I have a few programs where there is a commercial that spans until the end of the recording. When viewing these programs in GBPVR that is last commercial is ignored. (ie. no black chunk in the bar allowing you to skip)

If I run comclean on these files will it still take out this last commercial?

The PC I use for gbpvr lives in a cupboard and has no monitor attached. So when I need to tinker (!) with it, I connect to it via remote desktop.

The problem I have, is if I stop gbpvr, when I try and start it again it will start using my RDP session as its display, rather than my TV. I can workaround this issue by rebooting, whereupon it'll start up properly on the TV, but I'd rather not reboot every time. How can I make sure it starts on the TV even if I'm connected via RDP?

Thanks

Jon.

Is it my imagination or has the Forum search facility gone astray?

Hello, am still new with Ubustream, but am able to make it work both in list mode and channel mode. I can connect AFTV with VLC but the video is totally unwatchable with the video being extremely blocky, I tried Quicktime, i am not having the problem with Quicktime, in fact, video looks great. I want to use VLC since I want to eventually view video on my MVPs rather than on my PVR PC, but first I want a clean video using AFTV.

On another note, should the UbuStream open the external program and play the video from within the target program (Quicktime, WMP, VLC, etc) or should it have used the player in the background and view the output from within GBPVR interface. Is there a way to make it open from within the GBPVR interface rather than the external program? How do you go back to the GBPVR interface if you are using the external program, if you are in the MVP

Thanks.

hi sub,

to make your & everybodies work/search easier, i'd suggest you add the following comment to the "posting support question" sticky:

Report back if it's solved
There are some support request where it's not clear if the problem is solved or still open. Everybody who is using the search for specific problems they have would want to know what to do and what solved the issues. A short post like "changed that, now problems are solved" is great. If you have done nothing (like only rebooted, restarted service) but the issues have stopped, that's helpfull info too if it solved your issues.
