I'm running the latest version of GBPVR. I'm also using Comskip with postprocessing.bat and the "remove commercials while recording" unchecked in the config. I have not done any tuning of the comskip file.
My recordings come through just fine 90% of the time, but then the other times you can really really tell something is wrong: It comes through in black and white, looking very grainy and scrambled and without sound.
I have a splitter on my cable. 2 cables go directly into 2 TV's and then 1 cable goes into the TV tuner. I initially thought that if I was watching TV and recording through the TV tuner at the same time that the quality was being sacrificed due to both being used at the same time. But I was able to rule that out this afternoon.
Hey guys, I'm living in Japan and I want to get my computer setup to watch TV. All my searches for a Japanese TV listings compatible with GBPVR have come up fruitless and I would really like to know what if any solutions there are.
I've been playing around with zprocess, but I cannot get the mencoder bit to work. Still I read everywhere that the mencoder transcodes much faster then the ffmpeg.exe
The only reason I tried zprocess is the faster transcoding. Is there any way I can just use the mencoder.exe with GBPVR without using zprocess? (zprocess is a bit user unfriendly... and the GBPVR config isn't!)
Can you build a swith option or something in de GBPVR config?
What is the friendliest way of stopping the screen saver and other plugins from taking the focus from Gamezone, I understand that as gamezone is effective doing nothing once a emulator is launched its just waiting to recieve an event that will tell it to stop the launched emulator how can I inform other plugins that gamezone still requires the focus?
I have "Run during recording, instead of after recording" checked in Config / Processing.
Within my Postprocessing.bat file I have:
[INDENT]...
Rem list of channels to not run comskip on
if "%2" GEQ "68" goto eof
...
comskip %1
...
:eof
c:\tools\contig.exe -v %1 >> c:\program files\devnz\gbpvr\postprocessing.log[/INDENT]
The reason is I assign channels > 67 to my Svideo and composite in so I can record from my DVD player and VCR.
I would expect that when you set comskip to run AFTER recording, the postprocessing.bat file runs as is. My question is how is it handled when you select to run comskip DURING recording.
It appears to not touch postprocessing.bat at all. If this is the case, is there another way to tell comskip to not run on certain channels? (other then changing comskip to run only after recording... I like the during feature, as I often start watching a show before it completes the recording process.)
After scanning for channels on gb-pvr, the app gave them numbers there are different than their real numbers on the STB. how do i assign different numbers to the channels on the app, so that my EPG will become effective for recordings??
I'm having problems with DVD audio with GBPVR. I can hear audio played from a normal audio CD and I can play DVDs normally with Media Center, but with GBPVR I can see, but not hear them.
I have numerous codecs installed, I'm not sure which ones I should configure GBPVR to use. The latest that I installed was the PureVideo evaluation decoder. It solved a problem I was having with Media Center, but with GBPVR I can see the video, but I can't hear any audio. From this thread on another forum I posted some screen shots that show the different codecs I have installed.
In GBPVR, I have only messed with the DVD configuration tab. Currently, I have Video Decoder and Audio Decoder set to System Default. For Audio Renderer I have tried system default and SoundMax Digital Audio with no luck.
I'm not sure what to try next. Is there some other tab that I need to configure? Sorry, I can't post logs till I get home later. I'm not sure which version of GBPVR either, but I downloaded it a less than 5 days ago, so its probably the latest version.

Here's how to toggle the OSD on and off when surfing live tv channels. I've got "minimal OSD during playback" checked in the config.
Using the Hauppauge 45 key remote:
Toggle OSD off: Green Yellow OK
Toggle OSD on: Green OK
Was looking for a post on how to do this and no dice, so I added this one.
