This is a new one for me. When I play a video on either of my MVPs (sorry, can't remember the versions, but it's in my signature below - sad, I know), I get one button push on the remote control which will work, any that follow will be ignored with the exception of the power button. Also, it seems to be ignoring the comskip file (I have it setup to automatically skip commercials). Buttons that I have tried to use after it stops responding are fast forward, rewind (with and without # minutes specified), Exit, EPG, Pause, and Stop. I can test more if it's worthwhile to do so. The only way out is to let the video finish playing or press the power button and reboot. Video playback works fine on the server.
I installed 0.98.8 almost two weeks ago and did not have this problem. It would appear that it must be something I did in setting my first Client PC as I finally had the chance to do this week. The client playback is fine also, all controls work.
Any ideas? I checked the log files, but didn't find anything in there that gave me any ideas. I've attached the log files that changed when reproducing the problem.
I recently upgraded to the latest version of GBPVR (still on access db) and began having issues with failed recordings and not being able to delete them.
When I checked my recordings today I found that one recording "LOST" set for 9pm Wednesday the 11th had failed. It was originally failing becuase of a conflict which I had cleared up. Now it just says failed. I looked into the directory and the file exists and appears to be OK but I can't tell until I get home tonight to view it.
I have another recording the day prior exact same time (Dirty Jobs) and that worked OK. Also I am recording Mythbusters at 1am after Lost should have recorded and that worked fine too.
Additionally, I just looked at the mdb file size and it shows it as 211MB. I only have 5 recordings at most and am only keeping one or two recordings of each. That seems a bit high for that amount of data.
I've been playing around with AllowableTimeslotVariance and don't quite understand what it actually means. I believe it simply defines a pre & post recording event window where any like-named show will also be recorded.
I see a whole bunch of other configuration items in config.xml that seem to have no direct counterpart in the config.exe tabs.
Is there a list somewhere describing all the config.xml items? I couldn't find anything in the forae or wiki.
Title says it all really, comskip's auto-skipping (while watching) works once really well, but disables itself if the skip points are edited e.g. What is the design behaviour here?
Comskip works fine when I watch the recording. It skips and all ...BUT if I either:
then the black skip sections are all gone when I press the blue button on the remote (or move the mouse cursor over the window). How do you re-enable this?
Hi Crew - this is a continuation of my origional issue, but I'm breaking it into a new thread so it'll be more searchable for future users.
Summary: GB PVR only allows you to write to one drive letter, i.e. G: In order to increase GBPVR recording disk capacity when your first video drive fills up, it is possible to create a SPANNED volume with a added drive. A Spanned volume appears to be a single drive (still showing up as just "G:") but the space in that "drive" is actually spread across two or more different physical harddrives.
Both installed disks need to be converted to Dynamic. Note that this will distroy all data on the disk. I was able to preserve the recording of my origioanl disk by copying all files back and forth between drives and converting to Dynamic one at a time. Convert to Dynamic instructions are here: http://www.petri.co.il/difference_betwee...0_2003.htm
My problem: Have two dynamic disks, all is well so far. I right click in the Control panel / admin tools / Disk Management area and select NEW VOLUME. My options are simple volume, spanned volume, or stripped volume. ONLY ONE OPTION IS SELECTABLE - SIMPLE. I want Spanned.
I believe a simple volume can be created and then spanned, but I can't figure out how to do that - or just get the spanned option to work in the first place.
Hey all when i try to login remotely to the internal web page it just stays at the login screen. If i do it from home it logs in no problem. Ive changed the port and have done all sorts to try to solve this. Like i said i can get to the main page that asks for login info and enter it then it just stays there. any thoughts?
I have a problem with setting up my tv channels. 6 months ago I installed GBPVR for the first time and used the tunning assistent to lookup for my tv channels. I did write down all the channels on a paper note and put them in GBPVR (following the quick walktrue on the Wiki)
After that I was able to watch all the channels correctly via my MVP in the living. After a couple of months of testing and trying the most plugins it was time for the next step .... New hardware and a fresh install of GBPVR (version 9808)
Again I followed the quick walktrue on the wikki and used the same channels from the paper note as 6 mounts ago but now al the channels a messed up. What was on channel number 1 is now on channel 6 and so on.
O... I used also the same xml file (for the epg data) from the old pc ....and after an update of the epg all the channel names where corectly showing up in the config of GBPVR.
Is there someting changed ??? Or do I someting wrong ????
The higher end cameras store the pictures in raw format (for example Canon uses CR2). I know my XP machine can show them with a windows explorer plugin.
Do any of the photo view plugins support differnt camera raw formats?
This isn't specifically a GBpvr problem, I'm not sure what it is, maybe someone here better versed than i will know.
I have a whole host of channel modulators. Some broadcast security cameras, some the VCR and DVD outputs and still others do MVP outputs. That being said all the channels are clear and crisp on any TV, be it standard CRT, Plasma or LCD.
I've been trying to get my wife's computer up and running doing double duty as a TV in her office. On that system the all channels are just great, what you'd expect. The channels that are modulated on the other hand are terrible, dark, fuzzy, almost to the point that you have no idea what you're looking at.
Thinking it maybe was something on her system i brought those channels up on the main GBpvr system, after adding the channels to the EPG. Thinking they would look good there as well. I was wrong. They were the same dark, fuzzy picture that was on her system. I brought in a standard CRT set and put it right next to the computer, using the same video jack, was able to look at the systems side by side. Beautiful picture on the TV, on the computer through the TV card, same fuzzy picture.
There must be something that the computer TV cards don't like about modulated channels that a stand alone TV has no problem with. For the life of me i can't figure out what i could be though.
Has anyone out there also experienced this, and were you able to fix it?
