I've tried several times to get gb-pvr up and running on my computer, and for me...there's too little documentation. The zap2it.com link upon installing comes up with an error etc...I'm about ready to give up. Can anyone help me out?
I tried using the built in FFMPEG and I found the quality of the resulting videos was relatively poor (even with deinterlacing enabled as an option). I was hoping to use virtualdub-mpeg2 command line instead. This gives me much better results with pretty good deinterlacing. Does anyone know how I could go about doing this in GBPVR? Thanks.
Recently I started recording dvr-ms files using a Firedtv with mediaportal, because GB-PVR doesn't support encrypted channels (yet???). When the recording is finished I convert it to mpeg2 using the program Autodvrconvert and I place the file in de Video Library. The file plays perfectly on my computer in GB-PVR, skipping works like it is supposed to. But when I watch the file on my mediaMVP, skipping doesn't work. It skips further than what I enter and when I choose to skip 30 seconds back, it skips forward!? I do not have this problem with other mpeg files.
So there seems to be some kind of timestamp bug, but why is it working fine on my PC? I hope someone has an solution.
GB-PVR version: 0.98.13
MediaMVP dongle: default from GB-PVR version 0.98.13
MPEG multiplexer filter: CyberLink MPEG Muxer version 5.0.0813
Prior to 98.13 when I pressed mute (MCE2005 remote) I went back to the main menu with what ever I was watching in the inset window. This was a nice visual reminder that the volume was muted. Often I would use this time (commercials in live TV - Yuk) to browse my recordings or the EPG.
Now at 98.13 the volume mutes and the playback remains full screen.
Just curious - was this deliberate with the new OSD?
Or do I have (had) a glitch?
Because my volume adjusts my amp I haven't seen the new volume OSD. Or should I see something for mute?
The more images visible in your browser at the time you paste the link, the cooler the effect. Then, if you use msn.com's personalized portal page (my.msn.com), try it there. The way they setup their website adds a depth to the effect which is kind of interesting.
Change some variables and produce different effects. For instance, change x2=.25 to x2=.125
And unrelated but equally interesting, check out this link: Neat Clock
Found these in another forum I frequent and thought I'd share. Enjoy!
I have been using Gbpvr for over 8 months, and I love it, everything has been working great until a week ago where I started loosing all my guide information at random points in the day, I would update my epg from zapit and it would reload. That lasted for about 4 days and then I was not able to get any guide at all, it would say it was updating and saving, but no guide. I uninstalled Gbpvr and started from scratch, that dint help and was still getting no guide information at all, I have read threw the forms and I cant find anything really related to my problem, I did find one post that suggested to delete the gbpvr.mdb file, I did this and now I am able to load a guide for only a few hours in the day, and then there is no guide data after that. I am using the current version of gbpvr 0.98.13b, if anyone could give me some ideas as to what to try, that would be great. I have attached the log files, I have also checked all settings at zapit and everything looks fine.
i have been looking for a nice editor for sqlite3 db's and found none that allow visual editing like say an Excel spreadsheet..[deleting rows individually by just hitting 1 key,etc.]
so after trying about 10 of them i found this 'personal' version of SqliteExpert.. http://www.sqliteexpert.com/SQLiteExpertPersSetup.exe
very nice looking and fast and lots of extra tools...
the pay version has visual query building and some other nice features..seems well worth the price if you work with them often..
so many just allow viewing the data, or make you use sql queries to alter the data without much help..
this one makes it like access...a real time saver and simple..
I picked one of these up yesterday at CompUSA for a Benjamin ($100). Not a great deal and I may even return it, especially if I can't get it to work with GBPVR. I bought it for my new kitchen counter laptop to watch live tv and to toy with ATSC (OTA HD). Can't say much about the ATSC since the little antenna doesn't pick up much very well from where I live. It's certainly better than my WinTV-USB2 which has painful video/audio sync issues over USB and is not nearly as cute.
My main concern is that GBPVR isn't working right with it. It appears as a listed BDA Recording Plugin Device Type but none of the channels stick. The "Enabled" check boxes for all the channels clears itself no matter what I do. Live TV reports that there are no channels.
