Got myself into some bad trouble for the first time in a long time with GBPVR ('luckily' with my own setup and not the ones I've done for friends and family)
Set off to upgrade one late night, but speeded too fast through the dialogs to catch that it didn't point at my normal directory c:\Programmer\gbpvr\ but rather to the c:\Program files\... default. It installed most of the way before I realised it and cancelled out. Alas - it was too late, and the damage was done.
Since then I have not been able to roll back or get a correct installation up and running again (except from a vanilla installation).
All attempts to roll back or reinstall on top of my old install results in
a) Channels lost from the recording devices, and impossible to reimport from EPG source
b) Every attempt to reload and save EPG info results in a database lock error as do other config change attempts (see attached screendump)
If it was just an issue of reconfiguring the channels again and then go from there, I would have been done days ago (I actually currently run with a clean install to record whatever is on these days)
But with two+ years worth of recordings well past 1TB I would REALLY like my database information on the existing recordings (usually accessed through VideoArchive collected from 6 disks C: thru H: ) and prefeably my reocurring recording as well.
Any attempt to resore the database so far has failed. Any hints/help would be greatly appreciated. either to get an install correct on top of the old install or import the DB info into a new installation.
Also attached logfiles form one of my failed attempts.
I have a copy of the gbpvr directory from before I started the install, but reinstating it doesn't do the trick.
Well after a considerable amount of learning and frustration. I have finally released the GameZone Plugin its the first plugin I have written so I am anticipatin g many bugs, for that reason I declare that GameZone is an ALPHA release and requires willing members of the community to test it for me.
So what is it?
GameZone is a front-end for emulators that currently supports Playstation (using ePSXe) and MAME (actually specificlly Mame32FXpp). The idea is to add Emulators as I go forward and hope that the development time decreases as I get better :-)
I am trying to figure out if addEpisode or RenameRecording will use XMLTV's episode-num system="onscreen" information when renaming the original video file to include the episode number. I know that many other are interested and can't see why this wouldn't be possible.
I've just been chatting with a friend of mine who has discovered a crack in a favourite CD which runs from the spindle hole out to about three-quarters of the radius of the disc. The CD is no longer in production and (being a non-techie) he never ripped the contents to his PC.
Not surprisingly, his CD player and PC CD-ROM drive refuse to acknowledge that there's a disk in the drive if he tries to play it, but what he was wondering was if there is any software that might read a CD at the image level to try to piece together at least some of the content.
I've never heard of anything and it seems unlikely but I thought I'd throw this into the arena to see if anyone knows of anything.
Usually when I watch a program I am focused on what I want to watch. Often I select that but can't watch it - because I am say 5 minutes early. So I have to back out and then select to watch the preceding program.
Could it work that you can select to watch a program (or at least select to watch than channel) a few minutes before the exact scheduled time?
how do i rename the custom profiles for recording quality...i.e. the section w/ hi/medium/low. can i rename 'custom 1' as 'half d1', or 'custom 2' as 'svcd', etc?
I installed directX 9.0C as part of another software package on my machine. Then in GBPVR tunning into live TV became very slow and resulted in synch issues. I had to roll back my installation and things came back to normal. Any ideas?
anyone record shows at half d1 resolution around 2500 kb size at cbr? I'm viewing on SD CRT (sony 20 and 36"). do you notice any artifacts? or, is it pretty comparable to a dvd at 720x480?
