My GBPVR is configured to use Dongle24110b.BIN. I think I did that (Boy have I been at this for a while) last May.
With the new upgrade, I saw some mention in the release notes for 98.x that Using the dongle included will get picture in a picture, (or something to the effect).
So all I'd have to do is switch the dongle (in the drop down box) to dongle.bin?
how do I use this new wiz-bang picture in a picture stuff? (or did I imagine this, since I can't find the release notes with that functionality in it)
Everything went fine, all the shows and config settings went over.
Apparently, however, the Video Archive plugin is still using the old database. No problem, I uninstall Video Archive, and Move the gbpvr.mdb file to another folder.
I start the config utility up, and it says please wait while windows repairs this program. The config utility appears, and the gbpvr.mdb (albiet a MUCH smaller one, and it appears to be blank) appears in the directory.
I still have all my config settings, and all my recordings, and scheduled recordings are still there.
___EDIT____
I'm currently using
Weather Pluging
Theatre Plugin
ShowBurner Utility
Recordings2 Plugin
Comskip
Is this one of the plugins looking for it. Is this normal to need the file, even thought I'm not using it?
Just tried to play an album from Y&T and EWA appears to struggle with '&' when I click on the Y&T it show the album folder (in this case 'Earthshaker') however when I click on this EWA respond with no songs in 'Y' directory.
If you would like any more info then please let me know.
Here is my scenarior:
- I think I have GB PVR installed and working correctly, everything seems to work, except:
- when my CPU is busy doing something else, like compressing a MPG *AND* I record a show, the audio studders.
If I play the show in GB PVR I get no audio at all. If I play the show in winamp (or on my MVP) then I hear the studder.
The priority of the CPU hogging process (ex: Auto GK) is set to low.
So normally everything works, but what can I do to make GB PVR a high priority? Or is there a config tweak? I don't think it is a decoder problem.
I remember hearing about some reg tweaks to help recording - would that help me?
I was wondering if anyone here has setup and maintained GB-PVR for family or friends and if so, how it's going.
I may have been a little "overly enthusiastic" when describing GB-PVR to people over the last few months. Now I have a few people asking me to set up systems for them.
I've been having a problem lately with some GBpvr lockups just after canceling a recording through the video archive pendings screen.
While trying to cancel a recording of a season recording that i already have i keep getting a screen error that the index was out of range. Screen shot attached. After i got the error i dropped back to the blue skin and set up a recording and then canceled it as a test. I'm also sending you the Jeff and GBpvr logs and my config. Maybe you can see something I've missed. VA has been giving me intermittent problems here and there through the last version into this on and to fix it I've just deleted the VA database and let it be re-created. I didn't have much scheduled during the holidays so i don't know if those problems are still with me after the new version. Every once in a while while trying to delete a recording i would get the same error screen and have to restart. I won't know if it's still doing that till Tuesday when my wife's soaps start up again.
Been having some fun over xmas, looking at this feature were some times the dvd ripping ( DVD2MPEG ) gives a stream that reports the wrong time ( to short ) on playing back compared to the real movie.
Have noticed a corelation when the cutterman process is runnig.
there is a line in the info that says
INFO rough guess multiplexed stream data rate x
INFO target data rate y
INFO setting specified data rate z
where x,y and z are bits/sec
if x is > y, then te wrong time is reported on play back, whilst if x is < y, the right time is reported.
do we need to change some flags sent to cutterman ?
Is there a code for a universal remote that I can use to control the MediaMVP? Specifically, I have a dish network remote and would like to use it to control the MediaMVP. I have been unsuccessful at finding any info on this (other than some super remote from radio shack that you program over the phone)
It appears from reading through the forum that manual mapping of digital channels to EPG channels is required for the ATI HDTV Wonder card. My experience is that the automatic scan in v0.99.5 did not work. Is there a detailed explanation of how to do manual channel mapping? I downloaded TSReader Lite and can see the channel information it captures but it is unclear how to translate that into the strings like "T:52,2,1~P:3~V:49~A:52~PMT:48~N:>2.1".
First of all thx for this great add-on! it seems like it has tons of potential (i have yet to get it working though:o ). I think i have everything installed correctly yet every time i try to transcode a mpg (both from within zproccess and both from gbpvr i get loads of windows popping (some ffmpeg and some hunter) and they keep piling on until i have to restart the computer. there is no way of getting rid of them (with kill proccess). Also it dosent seem to be doing and transcoding. has anyone had this problem or know how to solve this?
