Hi, I'm having trouble keeping the epg updated automatically. I'm using zap2it plugin to get my guide data. It is set to update at 3am. but they only way the guide gets updated if I click on update epg. Am I suposed to click on update epg to update the epg or is the epg supposed update itself at the time specified? Thanks.
I attempt to do a manual recording 1 minute in the future for a duration of 1 minute. For example, my PC says 11:55AM and I attempt to do a recording starting at 11:56AM. Upon setting all the settings I click on Record and the application hangs for 30 seconds or so. After it finally responds the Manual Recording window closes where I was configuring my recording however the recording never shows up. I tried this twice with the same results. I then put the recording 2 minutes into the future and that worked fine. Sounds like its a bug. Any thoughts? I'm using 98.13b.
Ok thanks in advance for any help, I am very, very new to TV tuner cards and programs. My question is, I am looking into buying a TV card, but would like to avoid common mistakes made with new purchases. What I would like to find is a card that can record 2 shows, bring the system out of hibernation with the remote and any other annoying problems that you guys forsee me having. I will be recording from a satellite service. My computer has an amd (64) 3200, 2 gig of ram and a Nvidia 7600 gt video card. Primarily my wife wants to record her favorite shows (christmas present) so its gotta be user friendly after initial setup. Thanks again.
Hello
If I open a saved video that has been comclean'd via SMB share, my XBMC can play through it no problem.
If I stream the video over VLC, the stream will break down, but only at the cut and paste points for comclean. The file, and I have tried several with identical results, will play and stream just fine at any quality setting until it gets to a commercial cutout. Then, it will hang, for anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes, and later it will pick back up right after the commercial skip area and play normal again, until the next clean'd spot.
Our 802.11g network is too slow to play the files over SMB, but fast enough for a decent stream, so I'd rather stream it to the laptop. The XBMC is connected over 802.11n bridge, so there's ample bandwidth for the SMB option.
First, I must thanks all the programmers of this wonderfull software! Good job!
Since this will be a long post, here are the question (read the full post for more details)
1)- When the computer come back from standby (s1 or s3) or from hibernate, the remote stop working (Mce 2005 remote, Windows XP Sp2 Mce 2005). Sometime the remote still work, but not the IrBlaster (needed, I use a setup-box)
2)- Gb-Pvr seems to freeze sometime, I have to restart it
3)- The Web interface (latest version) have some problem when I try to same settings (give me an error page). Also, doing a "Stream" on the server crash VLC. It was no happening with the build-it version of the WebServer (But I want to do Live Tv through the web....)
Here is the long story
My hardware
Asus A7V333
Amd Athlon Xp 2400+
512 mb Ram
80g Hdd
Windows XP Mce 2005 Sp2 + Update 2
Hauppauge PVR150 Mce Kit (Remote control, IrBlaster and Ir Receiver)
Ati Redeon 7200 Pci 32 mb
Since the video card does not work with the built-in function of MediaCenter, I had to find a similar program. After some research, I found GbPvr, wich seems to be the best.
Configuration 1
- Mce Remote: Defaul Xp drivers
- All eh***.* services disabled (apply for all configuration)
- Gb-Pvr : Remote = MceIr
Seems to work great, but the IrBlaster was sometime too fast, so it was not always able to change the channels. So I tried Configuration 2
Configuration 2
- Mce Remote : Drivers from the Wiki
- Hip
- Gb-Pvr : Remote = HipSend
Seems to work great, but when I switch to live Tv, remote stops working. So I tried Configuration 3 (actual way)
Configuration 3
- Mce Remote : Default Xp Drivers
- Hip (catch only Power button, My* Button, Start button)
- Gb-Pvr : Remote = HipSend
When Gb-Pvr freeze, I press the power button on the remote to kill it. The start button restart it. Since only these buttons are used by Hip, the others functionnality of the remote works directly in GbPvr. And the LiveTv works perfectly.
Works great now, except for the problems said at the beginning.
Is there any plug in that I tune online webtvs and radio stations? Chat, e-mail and uploading of files could be of good implementation to this software.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why the some of the keyboard controls such as F3 (video) and F4 (Music) don't work? (There might be others that don't work either) Refer to http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Manua...dReference for the keyboard map.
This was on a first install of GB-PVR (version 09813)
I don't believe there are other applications running in the background that might be trying to use these keys.
Also, - and + don't work for the volume control, but numeric keypad "add" and "subtract" work to change the volume (requiring a change to irremote.ini to get the Hauppauge remote to control the volume)
After half a year of GBPVR working flawlessly i suddenly get this message whenever i stop playback:
"Error: Attempt to write a read only database
attempt to write a read only database"
I can still play files from the server GBPVR but it cant seem to remember video position and sometimes get stuck. i will add that i switched a long time ago to the new database (.db3) if that help but im pretty sure it worked for a few good weeks after this.
