My setup is shown below in my signature. I am sending out a 1080i component signal to my display. Right now I am just watching standard definition analog signals which, I suppose, are being upscaled by the GPU to 1080i. Using VMR9, there is a substantial amount of "jerkyness" in the video both real time and recorded media. If I do nothing but switch to VMR7 things are VERY much improved; very smooth playback. Is this a problem with the GPU, the video decoder (nvidia Pure video), the quartz.dll bug or something else. If this has been addressed elsewhere please provide a link.
I have spent countless hours trying different codecs and settings to try to optimize playback of live tv and recordings on a client pc...
I think it may now be acceptable except for fast action or panning camera angles are lagging,,,is it possible that the samsung 915n, analog 8ms monitor is partially to blame??
More importantly, I cannot seem to get file sharing mode to work....terrible stuttering...any ideas??
Streaming is the only way I get things working....
Is file sharing or streaming the preferred method for quality....???
Here is an interesting one: I have my PVR-150 set up so that I can tune either an analog channel directly with the card, or use the S-Video input along with an external channel changer in order to record from a HD cable box. That works fine.
I also have another (non-HD) cable box that I'm modulating to channel 77 inside the house. Would it be possible to set up a gbpvr recording mode whereby I could have it tune to channel 77 on the PVR-150's internal tuner and also invoke an external channel changer program in order to tune the cable box to the actual digital channel I want to record? This would not be something I might want to do often so even a workaround style solution would be ok. If there was a way to schedule just a channel change (but without recording) then I would see myself first scheduling an analog channel change to channel 77, and then scheduling a recording with the S-Video input and channel changer program...
my cyberlink remote control is not working at all. it came with my theater 550pro card. it was working then all of a suddin it stoped working for me all together. i just upgraded my system to windows media center but before i did the remote wansnt working any more. is there a driver that i need to get it working again. please some help
In order to increase capture quality, I am using a dvd recorder with cable in as a tuner with s-video out into a pvr-150. (The dvr's tuner produces cleaner input than the pvr-150's tuner.)
I can switch the dvr's channel by recording a minute on the desired channel.
But, WinTV scheduler changes input from s-video to the pvr-150's tuner when the pvr-150 recording begins, thus voiding the whole process.
Can GB-PVR allow scheduled recording through the pvr-150's s-video input port?
This method makes good recordings, but I need something that will do unattended recordings. Also, recording manually is limited to 4 hours duration.
I am a newbie, and really excited to get GBPVR up and running. However, my first problem is that I am getting the ubiquitous Object reference not set to an instance of an object error when I try to watch live tv. I have a PVR150, which is working fine under WinTV. I'm attaching what I hope are all relevant logs to this message.
so when i go into recordings and watch a rocrdign that hasn't finished but is still recording, if i move the mouse it crashes. If i click play and don't move the mouse the recording plays back just fine. This didn't happen in the previous version i had (i updated to 98.13 from 97.xx)
Oh and it pops up telling me object reference not set
Thank a ton,
And btw this program is amazing. So thatnks for your hard work
I just bought a new Dell PC (E6400 + 7900GS). For some strange reason, my 2 Fusion5L cards don't like the Dell PC. It works fine during recording but I get the BSOD only during shut down and rebooting. I intended to leave it on 24/7 until I came across the server/client idea.
My old slow PC (see spec below) handles the tuner cards (and GBPVR) very well. Here's what I intend:
1. Backend server: XP1800 with 2 F5L cards in the basement (no monitor)
2. Frontend client (file sharing): E6400 + 7900GS in the family room connected to 60" HDTV
The two are connected via 100 mbps LAN. Playing shared TV shows via LAN works like a charm using WMP.
Here's my question.
1. Can the client GBPVR control the server tuner cards as if I'm I'm at the server? Ex) Live TV, play recorded show, schedule recording, etc.
2. If I record to the server, can the client PC transcode the recorded file and save to the server? Which CPU does the job? Client or Server? I'm worried my server CPU is too slow for efficient transcoding.
3. Any tips on server/client environment?
4. I haven't really experimented fully yet, but it seems that the PC plays recorded shows (especially 1080i in VMR9) more smoothly when the tuners are sleeping (not recording anything). Can anyone experience this? If this is the case, then server/client environment will be perfect!
I am struggling with my Hauppauge card: http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=21728
I have also a Pinnacle card, so I replaced the Hauppauge.
(uninstalled the software too...)
I only loaded the drivers, not the Pinnacle software.
