I cant, for some reason, get any client computer to connect to a stream using WMP. When I set web admin up to open VLC on the client computer it streams fine... However.. When I set it to open or even use an imbedded WMP it freaks... Sometimes it even throws a VLC error on the server machine.
This is weird, seems common enough but I don't seem to exhibit the same problems as the other folks I've searched on the forum.
I can view Live TV great from either my analog source (PVR-500) or my ATSC source (AVerTVHD A180).
I can view recorded video from either source just fine.
I can view recordING video (accessed via Pending Recordings menu) great from either source.
I can pause Live TV and enter timeshift mode on the PVR-500.
I can NOT pause Live TV and enter timeshift mode on the A180. When I try to do so I get the old "Object reference missing..." popup and get dumped to the GB-PVR root menu.
FWIW I am using the native M$ BDA driver and mux.
Is there something obvious I can try, if not which logs should I concentrate on?
In looking at some of the screen shots it appears in some (to me anyway)that GPPVR can do transparent menus. I searched the forum and documentations but did no come across anything directly confirming this. So please excuse the question if it had been answered before. Does GBPVR do transparent menus and if so what settings need to used to accomplish this. I guess the one place I would really like video displayed in the background is the TV guide. Thanks for any help
I have a 350 in place, and wish to get a second tuner.
Can I expect to be able to record a program on one tuner, and use the FM on the other (concurrently?)
I guess that I should get another 350 or 250 with FM, so that whichever tuner is chosen for recording, the other tuner will have FM capability. I recall from the docs that tuner choice for video recording is not definable by the end-user.
Would playback in this way be supported by GBPVR or could it get confused?
I'm also interested in suggestions for scheduling recording of radio programs.
I am finding it really difficult to choose which card to get. I want to record composite from a Sky box and will output via an Nvidea 6200. Does anyone have experience of which will give most reliability and best quality for composite?
While viewing Live TV, Recorded TV, or My Videos in GBPVR, the picture is not very crisp...it's blurry/out of focus looking. It also gets choppy sometimes on panning scenes. If I play any videos in WMP they look fine. The menus and text in GBPVR are nice and crisp also.
I'm currently using VMR9, but as I recall Overlay didn't make it any better the last time I tried it.
I was thinking of trying the NVidia PureVideo decoder to see if this helps but don't want to try anything drastic until I asked.
I also have DirectX 9.0c, and wanted to try 9.0b after reading some things here, but the older threads that link to the 9.0b file are old links. If you suggest I still try 9.0b to fix this problem, please point me in the right direction for a good working link.
As always, I appreciate the help. This program is sweet...and my wife is already using it more than me!!!
After watching a video from my video library, when I stop the video the screen goes blank and the user interface never re-appears. I have to kill gbpvr from Task Manager to recover.
I'm running this on a laptop and I've configured gbpvr to run on the second monitor. I am using this with a Streamzap remote.
I was wondering if anyone here ran into the problem where they filled up the hardrive with gb-pvr, and ended up with 0 length movie files as a result. I was hoping maybe an improvement would be for gbpvr to estimate the length of a recording beforehand, so as to check for available disk space and to generate an error if the drive is full. I was out of town and missed several recordings due to a full partition.
I'm wondering why the recording service finds itself connected to a remote machine at times, when I am not say updating or anything of the sort. Any knowledge?
