I'd like to clean commercials out of HDTV mpg files.
I'm in USA and use 5.1 DD AC3.
I've tried run comclean and comclean2 and retime and comskip.
So far I have no luck to get it right
retime doesn't produce resulting mpg at all and mp2 file is 0 size
comskip produces all files right
comclean produces file, but without sound in it :-(
What do you use for remove commercials from HDTV recordings? And how to use it right?
I'm still running .97 and things are stable and I'm pretty happy so I've been reluctant to upgrade. But... There seems to be an issue with the Recurring - Record All in this Daily Timeslot. It records SEVERAL timeslots. For instance, there is a show that plays every day at 6pm, 7:30pm, and 10pm. I've selected the 6pm version and chose Record All in this Daily Timeslot. It records ALL THREE SHOWS.
I just installed a PVR 500 MCE with gbpvr, all is working perfectly. I have a question though. This card has dual tv tuners. I've setup on tv tuner as PVR1. Now do I setup the other one as PVR2. Will that work? So far I haven't been able to watch a show and record at the same time. I know that having the 2 tuners you are able to do the above.
Curious if there are any recommendations on how to improve picture quality for LiveTV and Recording. When I view my cable tv direct into my LCD, the picture quality is great. When I view it through my WinTV card, it has light diagonal lines and the color is a bit washed out. It's not terrible, but I'm curious if it could be closer to what I'm seeing in direct from cable.
I know this isn't a GBPVR problem but I'm wondering if there is anyone else who has a Hauppauge 350 which might have some ideas.
Are there any reasons I shouldn't upgrade from ver 94.13? I have a PVR-350, 1.8 GHz Dell Dimension 2300, 768 MB RAM, 250 GB HD. The HD has about 200 GB of recordings. Is there any risk of losing the recordings, or losing them from the database? I've read about the new release, and it has several fixes I'd like to have. Are there any precautions I should take, other than the standard recommendation of copying some of the database files?
In 98.08 I am getting the following error in the gbpvr.exe log:
10/23/2006 10:42:25 PM.250 ERROR [2] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION:: System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteException: SQLite error

It is accompanied by an entry in the Windows event log:
This seems to be occurring when I log off and shut down the PC. The next time I restart the machine everything looks o.k. Should I be stopping the gbpvr & recording services before shutting down? Or, is there an sqlite problem waiting to explode?
I have problems with the SQL Database. I am using xml data in combination with TV Listing.
Short before upgrading to 98.13 (also at 98.8) i had first time problems with the database and the updatetool from TV Listing. So far it's not your thing, i thought.
Now i am confused:
I have 2 Tuners configured @ GBPVR. Both Tuners have it's EPG Data (32 Channels per Tuner, same config).
But sometimes (i don't know, what it produces) i have 99(!) channels in the Database o.O On both tuners, without doing anything! I had this within one week 3 times! If this happens, then GB-PVR will react really crazy and hang, stop and so on.
I'll attach my logs, perhaps you can read from them, what is causing this behaviour with the SQL-Database.
*snip*
If i remember right, this behavior happens since one Internetconnection loss while updating EPG Data.
I have a dual tuner setup. It worked well till now. I could record two programs parallel.
Now the live Tv doesn't start at all.
The recordings from the quide start, but in reality only the one.
I reinstalled the 550 driver but it didn't solve the problem.
I enclose the pictures about the live tv message and the recordings and the logs.
I want to create a backup image of my windows/gbpvr build. I want to make both bootable cd(s) and an image I pull over the network.
I already know how to do this in theory, and I do and have done a great deal of work with computers for many years, but my problem is I've never made an image successfully. I have an image making demon that follows me wherever I go. No matter what image creation program I use, at work or at home, windows or linux, server, desktop or laptop, it always fails. I'll make an image to cd's, then when I wipe the drive and test it, I always come up with a corrupted volume in the image span. Rebuild the machine, make an image, test, fail... Rebuild the machine, make an image, test, fail...
You can see where this gets frustrating.
So, I'm hoping someone can recomend a fool proof process or software (other than buying another hard drive). If I make and image and ruin my build testing it, I'll most likely abandon the whole deal out of frustration.
