It's been running so well, why do I break things? I recently installed a new AGP NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT (128 MB) and so far things have been fine. However, I've just notice gbpvr suffers video corruption when using F7 to toggle aspect ratios playing live tv or recorded shows, Toggling all the way back round to 'auto' restores the display.
It's not a disaster as I don't use the PC for viewing much and can always adjust the aspect ration by pulling the edges of the window.
Hi, just got me a hauppauge media player, the wired version.
Im having major problems getting the thing to work properly.. please help if you can :o
I had the GBPVR software running on my regular PC, but menus were slow and .avi files would crash the media player, to a point i had to power cycle it and restart the server software to get it back - basically an unworkable situation.
The machine was fairly good spec, athlon 2600, 1.5GB 333mhz RAM, plenty of disk space...
I noticed that a process "ffmpeg.exe" was eating 100% CPU when the files were playing, but afer a while the process just dissapeared resulting in playback failure on the TV.. and the media box crashing in a big way.
So, in an attempt to fix this (after scanning the forums) i decided to move GBPVR to a better machine, my server. Its a Dual core pentium D 2.8Ghz, 2GB 533Mhz RAM and s**t loads of disk space..
I noticed a major improovment right away, menus were faster and .avi skipped through much better, but that damn process ffmpeg was eating 100% CPU time on one of the pentiums cores.. not so much of a problem when you have a spare core, but again the process dissapears after some minutes and the media box still crashes... what can i do??
-oh um, im using the latest version downloaded from here, no additions just out the box as is.
I've set up gb-pvr 98.13.b with a new hauppauge hvr-3000 card. It's mostly working quite well. There's a problem with the satelitte tuner driver when using any software which means i have to use gb-pvr in time-slip mode and disable live preview mode, this is the only way i get the satellite channels to work at all. This is not a problem with gb-pvr, but a hauppauge/microsoft problem and at the moment time-shift mode is my only solution to watch satelitte channels.
The problem is in time-shift mode when using either the dvb-t tuner or the dvb-s tuner I can't change channel without gb-pvr hanging and have to shut gb-pvr down. I watch one channel, change channel, gb-pvr switches channel and starts recording the new channel, but the video playback doesn't switch over properly, like it didn't stop playing back the last channel fully and playback hangs, so I have to right click on the windows bar and shut gb-pvr down. I can change channel by exiting back to the epg and selecting a new channel that way but not switch from one channel to next.
I also have a pvr-150 card and in timeshift mode this changes channel fine.
I've tried switching video codecs and dvb multiplexer settings but still get the same result, any idea how to fix this would be great
thanks
p.s. the bda.ini file for the hvr-3000 dvb-t tuner has it listed as "dvb-s" so i had to manually change this value in the ini to "dvb-t" to tune the channels
I am trying to run a script i have written from the batch files that gbpvr runs (postprocessing.bat, etc), and i have come across a problem. the script isnt executing properly when run from the batch file if the batch file was run by gbpvr after a recording. the script does run properly when the batch file is manually run, or when the script it directly executed. the script is an automation of internet explorer that uploads a file to my google page, and i think it needs to be able to interact with the desktop....
my question is, does anyone know if this may have something to do with the permissions/user account that the batch files are run under? and, how would i run the batch file or script as if the current user has run the script directly?
thanks to anyone who can give me a hand with this!
I just installed GB-PVR and everything looks great, except that I can't change channels. The listing says I'm on a different channel, but the video feed is always from the same one.
What can I do?
My main pc is connected to a TV and then the MVP is connected to another TV. When the MVP server is running, the playback on the Main PC is choppy. About every 5-6 seconds it seems to skip for the lack ofa better term. The main PC is 3 Ghz with 1GB or RAM so it should have plenty of horsepower. Everythign through the MVP on the other PC is great. The PC that runs the MVP service, should it not be used to watch tv on? It works great when the MVP service is not running, so I was wondering how I can solve this problem. Attached are the logs. Anyone have any ideas?
All of my new recordings play back with a black screen(with sound). all of my previous recordings still display and play properly. I can play the new recordings on powerdvd, but not with a picture (only sound) in gbpvr .98.13
i have attached my last log where i tried to play a recording.
