re: Transcoded AVI won't skip FF/RW like recorded TV
This has been an ongoing issue, that I just accepted, but I have to ask:
I can skip forward and back a MPG that was recorded off air (or digital broadcast) quite well on the MVP. I never lose audio sync...
But the mpg generated with ffmpeg, during the on the fly transcode loses sync quite often, so much that I have hesitate, restarting a video, and skipping forward, or trying to replay some words I may have missed and want to hear again...
It's like the Transcoded mpeg isn't as sturdy as the one recorded off air...
Is it bitrate and resolution that's causing this? Does FFMPEG just not transcode as good a resulting MPEG as a native recorded MPEG?
Can you explain how local volume is supposed to work?
The end result is the same whether I have local and master selected - volume for other audio sources (windows system sounds, Winamp, WMP, VLC, etc) is changed as well. The only difference is that none of the sliders in my mixer app change with local volume.
I'm running v98.13 with the patch to fix the stuttering/hitching every second or two.
I am at my wits end with this...had MediaMVP working with GBPVR for some time now. Then all of a sudden I can't connect and watch GBPVR through TV. I'm using 98.13 with patch. This is what happens:
Loading Application
Starting Application
Configuring Wired Connection
Checking Network Status
MediaMVP unable to detect your previously saved server setting on the network!
Comes to "MediaMVP Preferred Server" screen
I select the only IP address listed
Saving Setting
Then...
Checking Network Status
MediaMVP unable to detect your previously saved server setting on the network
Comes to "MediaMVP Preferred Server" screen
I select the only IP address listed
Saving Setting...etc
All MediaMVP services are stopped. I tried rebooting my computer, rebooting my router, release and renew DHCP, rebooting the MVP, shut off all firewalls...still keep getting the same scenario. I don't know when exactly this began, not sure of any event that could have triggered it, just know I've been working on it for over a week now without resolution. Anyone have any ideas???
I'm not sure why but I can no longer play avi and wmv files on my MVP. This function worked fine at the GBPVR version just prior to 98.8. I'm not sure I ever checked playing these files types with 98.8 but I'm pretty sure I did. Anyhow, with 98.13 they don't play. note, they play fine on my PC under GBPVR.
All I get on the MVP is a brief black screen on my TV OSD showing the progress bar with 0 on the left and 1 second on the right and the title box at the bottom. Then it kicks back to the list of videos I'd selected from.
On my PC, I get an error box showing the following info on several sequentially selected screens,

close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
I had a thread about my issue with getting 2 pvr-150 working, but i fixed that problem, so i figured i should open a new post about this. After getting both cards working, all of my shows have the wrong time on them. example: i have a 1 houre recordings that is shwoing it's only 14 minutes, and whenever i view it on my mvp, is actually goes backward when i hit the skip forward button. I did upgrade to new drivers with my 2nd pvr-150 install, and i noticed another thread about "2.034.24054 drivers with the registry modifications" and was wondering if you think this might be the same problem i'm having. I 've learned my lesson about changing drivers before researching, so wanted to ask first??
p.s. the recordings seem to be fine except for the wrong time listed...if i turn off comskip and don't hit fast forward or rewind, i can watch the whole show (so it seems, didn't finish the whole hour), but fast fwd or rewind screwes it way up.
Can I get some suggestions on the cheapest way to get output to a TV from a PC?
I have a WinTV PVR2 that works fine, but I can only watch things on the computer. I would love to get video to output to my TV so I can watch things on a bigger screen you know.
I just installed GBPVR and i have a XFX GForce 7200LE with s-vid out to my TV
at first it would not play my DVD's at all saying didn't have the codecs (windows media player)
then i did some reading and found to get the cyberlink....well when i tried to run the DVD it would start for one second then stop and say i couldn't run this while s-vid (TV output) was being used.
question is how do i bypass this error???
-------------------------------------------------
ok to add to my orginal post....
I got past the blank screen using cyberlink powerdvd7
When i play a DVD (not burned) with powerDVD it works just fine. but when i play it with GBPVR i get "This disc is not formatted to lay in this region"
Any help?
(sorry did a copy and paste of two posts from another site...they haven't been able to help me yet :-(...)
I have installed the EWA build 50 on my XP machine, with the latest version of GBPVR. I have installed VLC. I believe I have opened port 7647 & 7648 on my router. I opened port 7647 on the XP firewall. I installed VLC on my Win2000 PC here at work.
I can log on and see all of my recodings, mp3s, tv guide, etc. I am able to hit the play button on mp3s and use VLC to listen to the songs. When I hit the play button an a recorded show, a VLC window opens and I see what is probably the first frame of the show. Nothing else happens. When I press the steaming button a popup box shows up, then I launch VLC, but nothing happens.
Do I need to open a VLC port 7648 on my XP firewall for video to work? Any other suggestions?
