When I first installed GBPVR last night, live TV worked fine. Now after reboot I don't have any sound in live TV. Sound works in other plugins fine.
If I hit control/k to start recording while in live TV, the sound comes back as it is recording, but if I stop the recording, no more live TV sound.
After first PC reboot, the arrow keys would not adjust volume in live TV. Then after control/k recording, the volume is adjustable, but no sound unless I am recording.
I found another thread where people were having the same problem, but no one posted a fix. Any ideas?
I'm having a strange problem streaming mp3's through EWA. Certain mp3's will stream to my computer at work while others don't, even though there aren't any obvious differences. I haven't checked to see which files are VBR and which are CBR though. all of my MP3's have the artist - album - track# - track.mp3 naming format, so they can be long filenames. Could that be a problem? Has anyone else had this problem?
info:
GB-PVR 98.13
EWA Build 49
VLC 0.8.5
streaming on port 7648, EWA on port 7647
ports opened on my router and the XP firewall.
Hi there, I seem to have "broken" something over the last couple nights while tweaking my pvr box :mad:
Everything was really working pretty nicely, but then I did two things that seem to have made watching live tv in timeshift mode (not really live then is it? :p ) well... unwatchable.
Changed the "medium" quality setting to actually be slightly better than even the high quality setting so that all my recordings would in reality default to nice high quality. Worked great on a couple of test recordings I did.
Added a 250gb IDE data drive to do all my recordings on. So there's a 40gb boot drive and then the new 250gb data drive.
So doing a strenuous test last night of watching a hockey game (lots of movement on screen, camera pans, high contrast, etc.) while it's recording, essentially timeshifting. It was completely unwatchable because it stutters really bad now. I'd say it would hang about every 2-3 seconds, lasting about a second, like clockwork.
Unfortunately I'm at work and my GB-PVR system seems to have hung this morning or maybe a cat killed the power stip, who knows. Anyway I can't see my exact settings so this is from memory:
medium quality is now variable bit rate, 6000 - 9000, 48khz audio.
Is my new stutter problem because I'm trying to timeshift while still recoding with high quality settings? Is there just to much disk activity going on to handle this? Again, this is only in timeshift - fully recorded shows play back just fine.
I'm using Advisor Skin and My Videos V5RC3. With the base Blue skin ("THE" gbpvr skin) the menu shows My Videos. But in the Advisor with the plugin pack and everything loaded it does not.
Any hints on how to fix that? I mean its just a button not an application fault or anything.
I'm looking into some different setup changes for my GBPVR. Currently, I have my GBPVR PC upstairs, using a Hauppauge WinTV-PVR USB2 with an ethernet cable running from a router to my MediaMVP downstairs which is sitting on top of my TV.
But here's the reason for the change - I recently purchased an iMac which is going to be my main computer (I know, I know, spit and curse on me all you want..)
So, I'm looking into the option of moving my GBPVR downstairs behind the TV, connecting the ethernet cable to it, connecting the Hauppauge USB2 to it, getting rid of the MVP, buying a VGA to TV adapter to connect the PC to my TV (my video card doesn't have TV OUT, so I thought this would be the next best and cheapest alternative). And since it's connected directly to the TV display, I think it would make sense to buy a wireless keyboard/mouse combo for it so I could also surf the internet and stuff on my TV. I'd probably put GBPVR in my startup menu also so when I reboot the PC, GBPVR is automatically displayed.
I'm interested in your thoughts on this setup.
Also, I have a question. I've been using the MediaMVP remote with GBPVR on my TV. With the new setup described above, will the Hauppauge remote that came with the WinTV PVR USB2 work to navigate GBPVR? I've just always used the MVP so I don't know how this works.
I'm thinking of adding an OTA HDTV card to my current system that consists of 2 analog cards (PVR150 and M150).
How should I setup/config GBPVR and/or Zap2it so that the programming data for HD channels are obtained and merged into the EPG? Currently, with the analog tuners, I have one Zap2it account that has my local analog cable lineup. Do I need to setup a second Zap2it account to get the local OTA HDTV broadcast lineup? Will this result in two databases of programming information? What happens when the same show is on both the cable (SD) and OTA (HDTV) at the same time? How about Zapimport? I'm using that too.
I have tried a lot using comskip to automatically mark commercials. It could not convince me. Quality of marks differs very much from channel to channel.
Could You add 1 or 2 lines of code to gbpvr so that you can mark beginning and end of commericals manually?
I would suggest You press pause and then some other key on the remote so that a line with the actual position of the show is stored in a textfile...
P.S: if You say "No", I have a question: Is there a possibility to find out on which position a playback is actually while playing? <-- can u understand what I mean?
I'm not using this software yet and don't know if this feature is available or not, so I'm asking.
I want to set up a media server in the school I work at so we can log on from any computer in the school as normal, access the pvr on the media server and set it to record. Is this possible? Would gbpvr be able to cope with several people using it at once to set it to record separate channels (with several tuner cards) i.e. are there error messages that would come up like 'another user has already set this to be recorded' or 'this tuner card is already scheduled for use during this time'?
Comming back to GBPVR after a year plus,
having a few fun times,
but what happened to the dvd2mpeg plugin ?
I have MVP's , and want to simply rip the dvd to mpeg II format.
I have seen looking through the threads that there is now a video archive plug in, but can I just have the simple dvd2mpep plug in on it's own.
My MVP server is a Mini ITX 1.3 GHz beast, and it serves four MVP's very nicely, but it does not have a lot of free MIPS, so try to keep the number of process running on it to a minimum.
