i have a season recording setup up. now i noticed that a lot of recordings from that season marked as "failed" (40%) - but the mpeg files are complete at the hdd and i can watch that files with wmp. btw- allmost every record else is fine.
log of one recording marked as "failed" is attached.
I have multiple disks with archived videos, thus I have 3 directories setup in Video Library. This is a bit of a pain since I often can't recall which location I have the video I'm looking for, so I have to click each and scroll through the list looking for it. I'd love to be able to have all my videos organized under one logical name so that I could see the entire list alphabetically.
*sniff, sniff* Another reason I miss the My Videos plugin...
I'd like to be able to convert only certain recordings to iPOD compatable. Right now, through the config app, I see that I can convert ALL recordings, but not just certain ones.
If I can't do it through the app, what is the command-line? I assume its ffmpeg somehow?
I have a pvr-250 already, and i want to add a second turner card so i can record and watch at the same time, or record 2 shows at the same time. Can i mix a 250 with a 150?
So I've been playing with an HTPC for a little over a year now and have sold myself and my wife on the idea of always having one that is working order, pretty and silent.
Currently we use an old beat up 17" case with older MB and Chip and cheap ass power supply. It does the trick but is noisy and not very attractive under a TV.
So I'm looking for options. I don't have a lot of cash to spend on the upgrade.
I've read a little about Hush PCs but they seem to be full blown PCs. Not just components. It also seems that they use 2.5 inch drives or may be limited in that department. I currently have a few 3.5" drives that don't need to be replaced.
I also already have two Hauppauge cards I can use so I don't really need any of that gear either.
I would like to replace the CPU and MB but can live with what I have.
So can anyone point me in a good direction here? I'm looking for a kit I guess that can be customized to what I need and isn't all proprietary parts (for future upgrades).
Nope I haven't been in jail (gaol or however you're supposed to spell it!) but it's about time I did something with that shiny box that's sitting under my TV...
I've not touched my PVR for about a year and I'd actually forgotten what the components were - I had to look them up on my photo-blog thingy (was-MythTV-now-GBPVR-project).
So here's what I've got: WinTV PVR 350 and an HVR 1300, two HDD's - one system and one for video.
I originally had GBPVR working but it was let down by my poor DVB-T signal. I've now got a 100 element aerial going up which should sort that problem.
So I obviously need to update my GBPVR software; are there any problems with the latest version running my hardware?
I'm looking at buying a DVB-T card and replacing the PVR 350; is this wise?
Hello,
I am new GB-PVR user from Croatia and I am interested if it is possible to update EPG, actually to see updated EPG with Tv Guide without restarting GB-PVR.
I created proper xml file (I am using XMLTV plugin) and GB-PVR is able to read it and reproduce it through TV Guide. But, when I change my xml (i.e. changes in program, new days added etc.), I need to restart GB-PVR to see changes.
Everything is fine if GB-PVR is down (not running) when I run the script. But, if GB-PVR is running, I am not able to see new EPG until I restart GB-PVR. After restart everything is OK.
Is it possible to update EPG with GB PVR running? Or is it possible to shutdown GB-PVR from command line (actually, on the beginning of my script)?
I also noticed that in case of program changes it is necessary to empty EPG. Otherwise you get overlapping between the old and the new program, i.e. both are visible, one over another. That is not such a problem, since EmptyEPG solves it, but is there the other way around?
Having problems with recording programs but can't seem to figure it out. Everything seems to work fine, have great live tv picture, epg great (Far suprior to anything ive seen!)
Recoding quality is superb, but programs seem to be cutting short no matter what lenth the program is, i.e a 1 hour program might reord just 23 minutes or just 8 minutes. there does not seem to be any pattern to it. I have yet to get a complete recording!:confused:
Anyone got any ideas? Drive space is not an issue full specs as follows -
AMD athalon XP 18001.5 ghz
512 MB Ram
HD 30Gb Free
Freecom DVB-T USB
Win XP SP2
