GREAT Application! WinTV2000 Bye Bye. Thank you for all the effort.

I have a real quick question. How do I maintain a LiveTV aspect Ratio (skinny or fat dudes on the Screen). I'm using my NVIDIA Video Decoder(latest iteration) with a preference for VMR9 rather then Overlay.

I have the "display type" in the NVIDIA Video Decoder set to "Content default".

I've already selected Widescreen (16X9) Aspect Ratio Control under the Playback Config Tab but this seems to afford me no remedy for a skewed Live TV viewing window.

Any thoughts or suggestions on this would be most welcome.

Thanks,

BTW... Does VMR9 provide the best picture quality viewing or the best performance or both?

Hello there. I just recently discovered this app and it is great. I just wondered if there could be support for use of external players to play video through GBPVR. I would like to be able to use VLC from within it if possible.

Hi all,

i just have played with skins and broken my skins folder.
Is anybody here, who is able to send me a zip of the skins folder?

thanks!




EDIT:
its done now!

Hey All!

I have a main GB unit running 98.13b (gbpvr.exe is the patched version which fixed something I can't recall off hand right now).

I have another machine I just upgraded to 99.5 (used to run 98.13b). I use it in client mode and have it set to Stream from the main unit. I use the Cyberlink BDA-Mux.

After the upgrade to 99.5 I get an error of "Failure to play file" when hitting up the liveTV. If I set the client to File Mode it works but is extremely choppy.

I'm wondering if I now how have to upgrade my main unit to 99.5 in order for this to work again? Pre-Upgrade everything worked just fine.

Hi,

I followed the step by step instructions exactly and found that I can not get any video to come through. If I set the card up as "Composite/External tuner" I can hear audio from my video camera that is plugged in, or if I set it to "Internal Tuner" I can hear my local TV stations but in both cases, the video is just a blank screen.

I have searched for help but can't seem to come up with anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I have a PVR150 that is working successfully with a Satellite box into the Svideo input on the PVR150 card. I create a capture source called PVR150-S. I am using Zap2IT for the channel lineup. I added a video camera to the composite input and created a second capture source called PVR150-C. Two questions:

1. How do I create a channel such as 888 or 999 so I can view the composite/video camera via live tv? I don't want to pick xmltv or zap2it because there are no channels to download and the add channel button is grayed out when I pick none for the channel line-up.

2. How do I schedule to record the video camera. Say I want to record it between 10-11am. How do I do this since there is a not a channel or program line-up associated with the video camera. Can I fake a channel line-up/program line-up?

Thank you in advance for any help.

I am having trouble getting the video to work on the AFTV Channels. I just get a black screen and hear the audio when I play it over my MediaMVP. When I try them on my pc they work fine. I made the change in VLC to check the "Use RTP over the RTSP", but it still doesn't work. I get some of the other channels to work fine (video & audio) but some don't work at all. Any help in solving this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Ok, I've been lurking on this forum for a while and i have been doing some research on the net but i cant seem to find specific answers. So I am just going to ask them here. Don't yell at me.

1.) I live in Winnipeg, MB Canada. What exactly can i watch with a DVB-S/ATSC What-have-you card?

2.) What is the recommended capture device for watching said things.

3.) I have Shaw Cable. Do they offer any free HD channels that i can pickup with an appropriate reciever?

4.) Is this a waste of time?

I am so far just interested in tinkering on my desktop for now. not so much for the PVR-yet. I appreciate anything you can tell me. And many thanks to Sub for a FANTASTIC program.
