First off want to thank you for this work you are doing, i will like for a request for EWA. Is possible when viewing searched results in table view mode to sort the Air date in the first available date?
I plan to migrate my system from Windows XP to Server 2003. The system uses a Hauppauge PVR150 with IR Blaster.
What do I need to look out for?
I'm hoping if I copy the database files across after installing GBPVR, I'll keep my settings and recurring recordings. Is there any files I need besides this? Can I just dump the directory to DVD & then copy it back once I've re-installed?
As I mentioned in an earlier thread, I switched from Cable to Satellite. I mostly record shows on the main 4 networks and was going to just do OTA to 2 of my tuners, and IR blast one of my satellite recievers or set up timers w/ manual recordings to record stuff on the other channels. (my hardware setup is in my sig)
I'm not a video quality freak (I don't have HDTV) but the OTA reception leaves a lot to be desired. A friend of mine in the same area has a digital tuner for OTA and the reception quality is good.
I mostly use GBPVR as a back-end server system and either playback (kids) shows on my TV or stream (my) shows to the computer via mapped drive. Additionaly I have a low WAF and so cost is an issue.
I'd like to capture digital OTA (ATSC is fine). I have a couple of thoughts on this and I'd like to get your opinions.
1. Replace 2 of my analog tuners with Digital tuners. May be the easiest solution but looks pretty expensive
2. Get an ATSC/HDTV tuner - difficult to find standalone tuners, and they are a little expensive.
3. Get an old direct tv/satellite tuner (can find them for $25). I'd need to get some sort of IR Blaster / serial cable (guessing another $25 ea?) Can I use one of these to get the OTA ATSC/HDTV signal and just run the output to my analog card?
From your experiences, what do you think is the best way for me to go?
I've been using GB-PVR for a while now and i've been very happy with it. However a friend of mine asked me if i could record some stuff for him from a camcorder he had, for backup purposes. I can capture video from the camcorder, but there is no sound . Which leads me to my question: Is it possible in GB-PVR to set an alternative audio/sound source for encoding the video?
Hello
I have a laptop at home with GB-PVR installed, configured to connect to the main GB-PVR in the office, which connects to the network over 802.11G.
On the laptop, I can start GB-PVR and select Live-TV and it works. Unfortunately, it is very choppy at times because of (I'm assuming) high network latency. Would it be possible to have the 'client' config include a checkbox that would ask the server to stream the LiveTV content through VLC to reduce the overhead and make the video smooth, allbeit at a lower frame/bit rate than normal?
When I stream recorded content over VLC from EWA at the LAN setting it works fine, so I know there's *some* bandwidth to use.
New user here. Running Windows XP SP2 (home), AMD athlon 2.2 ghz, 1.5 gigs ram. Got the PVR-150 (not MCE) with remote and IR blaster, popped it in, and installed GBPVR. I'm using a Motorola digital STB (DCT2224). Everything works but the remote. I can view Live TV, but that's about it. Remote does not work at all. I can change channels with the STB remote, but GBPVR doesn't know that I've changed them, so the channel guides don't line up and I can't workaround with mouse/keyboard.
Installed Sage TV, Hauppage remote works perfectly, so I know it's a problem with GB-PVR, not the hardware.
Wiki says that GBPVR is supposed to make some changes to a particular file. I'm not sure if those changes got made, how to check, what to do if they didn't get made, or if these changes are related to my remote issue.
My Epg updates is a day behind, by messing around i can get to work until it updates the next morning. The it's a day behind again. I use o2grapper, and the xml fil have the corect data for each program, so i gues the problem is with GB-pvr, i use the latest version. Any ide?
I normally delete recorded programs in bulk using windows explorer on the pc when disk space is a bit low -- because it is quite slow to use the gbpvr interface on either pc or mvp. I have just noticed that deleted programs still appear on the gbpvr 'recorded programs' listing. The 'play' option is missing. It is only possible to 'delete' or 'exit', so gbpvr has probably detected the file is missing. My new gbpvr install uses the sqllite db. All previous installs used access. Is this a bug? Is it possible to change to previous functionality so files which are missing are automatically deleted from the gbpvr recorded programs?
. Which leads me to my question:
