I've had this happen a couple of times, where it records a show with two files--one is like a 4 minute file and the other is the 60 minute file.
For example, in my folder I have:
Beauty and the Geek_20070124_20002100 (4 min 24 sec)
Beauty and the Geek_20070124_20002100-2 (1 hour 1 min)
GBPVR seems to have picked up on the longer one when it shows in gbpvr. In other words, it just shows beauty and the geek as one recording. The 4 min is pretty much the 4 mins of prepadding. It has only happened twice.
I just updated to the newest version yesterday (99.05) and I noticed that when I pause video the screen goes completely black. In previous versions it would keep the video on screen. Is there any way to get this back?
Is it posssible to get Tivo like features where you watch a show currently being recorded? Do you need more than one TV Tuner? What plugins are required? Do you need a tuner with special features? Is there anything in the documentation that I can read?
i have had to switch back to 95-16 From 99-05
i did get a premature ending error when i ran it the first time but deleted and ran again and it seemed to work
This is a complete install never copied over the config files
Now i am getting 2 errors
one i get every day but doesn't seem to do anything
The first one started about 2 weeks ago but doesn't seem to do anything
ms dos box opens then i get error box
application has generated an exception that could not be handled .
process id=0x944(2372), thread id =0xb8c (2956)
second error is
Error : rectangle '{x=120,w45 width =0 height=25}' cannot have a width or height equal to zero
This happens a at two spots one is tonight and was is sat might if i skip past them then i can move back and forth no problem
i thought that there may be a missing program bit so i ran the epg update and it still happening i looked at the spot where it is happening (local login ) and there is no "hole" in the programming
3rd thing is just the other day i lost all of the recording information for shows that i have recorded and for future recordings
when i left in the morning everything was ok and when i cam home nothing was recorded and the recordings that i had setup for the next day were not there in the pending . There were no programs in ready menu (videos all still in folders )
Sorry even if have been discussed in the past I couldn't find a solution.
Since I have some recording with corrupted timeline I tried to solve the problem approaching to zprocess, but after the re-encode a 0:00:00 legth is reported.
Obviously noresume or skip is possible.
Anybody have a solution?
I couldn't get GB-PVR to regularly wake up my computer for scheduled recording. It is the same whether it is from stand-by or from hibernate. I tested it many times in last 2-3 days, and only one or two times computer woke up.
After computer have not been starting (waking!) at scheduled time, I have been starting it manually. I try to analyze what has been happening, and here are some observations:
1. In most cases GBPVR Recording Service stopped, disappeared from active process list in Task Manager. Recording Service was active prior to hibernating (or stand by). If I restart it manually, or restart the computer, GBPVR usually starts recording that should have been started earlier, before these manual actions.
2. Sometimes I got the message:
Error: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
This message sometimes occurs "out of nowhere", even without any recording taking place, and after computer reboot everything is ok.
3. Neither of above mentioned, actually I don't see any reason why it failed.
And one more thing: I cannot delete one of failed recordings from GBPVR. There isn't any file associated with it, but I cannot delete it. Other failed recordings I could have deleted.
I don't know if this would be of any importance, but during those testings I usually put computer in stand by only 5-15 minutes before it should have wake up for recording. I think the only time it woke up, this interval was a bit longer (20-30 minutes). Is this anyhow relevant, because I don't see why it should be!?
Just to mention that recording is fine if I don't send computer to stand-by, but leave it running regularly. Only thing I have to care about is that I don't get a message mentioned in 2., in Live TV mode. What causes that message to occur?
This isnt really a big deal and I dont really care about fixing this but the visualizations for music playback always skip at a continuous interval when showed in the menu. When the visualizations are fullscreen the visualizations run fine. They also run fine in wmp. The problem is only when being displayed in the main menu.
Is there a way of turning off the visualizations in the main menu?
I'm having trouble understanding where GBPVR stops and Zprocess comes in. Is ZProcess just somthing refrenced through the related batch files, or is it more tightly integrated. Do I have to have .bat files at all?
What I want to do:
After recording send file to a queue - no processing should be done during or directly after the recording.
At some point later (scheduled time in the middle of the night):
1 - back up original file just in case there are problems with the process
2 - Comclean
3 - comskip
4 - transcode to lower resolution or bitrate
5 - possibly rename the file (haven't thought about format yet)
6 - delete original file after a week
I guess I see instructions on having "C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\Third Party\ZProcess\ZProcess” “%~f1″ add2q" in postprocessing.bat - which adds a file to the queue for later processing, but how/when does the queue get processed? Do I have to schedule something with windows scheduling, or does this happen automagically somehow? Am I able to only allow processing to happen for say 6 hours - if its running longer kill the processes?
