As title, whats really good for media centres and available in the UK. Needs to have a good range (at least 5m and not quoted by the manufacturer, actually working at 5m).
Also what remote to go with, idealy i would like some thats programmable so i can control my tv, pc running gbpvr,the lights (i'm getting one of those remote control light switches) and looks good with many 'custom' buttons.
I have the ATI TV Wonder 200. It says it has MPEG-2 video compression but I cannot find it on the supported cards list. The Catalyst Media Center sucks and I really wanna be able to use GB-PVR. Any Help on what I can do?
One of my favorite channels has a NASTY habit of moving ads around to screw up timed recordings. Since I record entire blocks of this channel, pre/post buffer has no effect on the problem:
Record show A at 11:45-12:00, and show B at 12:00-12:15.
GB-PVR correctly switches from recording A to recording B at 12:00.
Channel starts show B at 11:58, so I end up with 2 minutes of B trailing A and a partial B.
My solution is to add a manual recording C spanning 11:45-12:15 that I can subsequently edit into proper files A and B.
I find that I can import MPG files into GB-PVR, but I can't find a utility or plugin that claims to let me edit episode information so that GB-PVR properly recognizes show ID.
I would like to avoid manual XML edits if possible and instead fill in forms on a plugin screen.
has anyone else had this problem? every once in a while, maybe 20 minutes, there's a hiccup, my computer's IDE activity light gets bright, and gbpvr freezes for about 10 sec while the computer is working. i don't know if this is a gbpvr thing or what. does anyone know if there's some sort of way to see what process is performing ide activity, or if there's just a way to fix the problem?
The video is stuttering when I play live tv. I have been having some problems with itunes doing this and have been going through a nightmare of a time with their support team. I just uninstalled itunes and reinstalled it in order to try to fix the problem. It didn't work so I go to GBPVR to watch tv and try not to pull all my hair out when to my consternation what should I find but that now it's happening in GB-PVR with live tv. I'm sure it's something that itunes screwed up but now I have to figure out how to fix gb-pvr. I tried just uninstalling itunes completely but it doesn't seem to have fixed the problem. On another note I think I'm just going to go back to getting pirated video and music what a frickin nightmare itunes 7 is.
I have old movies on VCR tape that I would like to digitize and burn on DVDs. I would like to use my PVR500 capture card to get the vcr data into the computer.
Currently I have the analog coax signal connected to the PVR500. I would like to connect the RCA output from the VCR to the RCA inputs on the PVR500.
What do I need to do to GBPVR to get it to record from the RCA inputs?
Allo,
Would really love GBPVR not to use timeshift tv mode on at least the server! Dunno if it happens on all configs i.e. not client/server mode 0.98.08b. But the advantage of having a live stream if only for quality purposes would be great (teletext and the interactive services being the others i can think of)!
Also when watching live tv, when the show ends according to the epg then the channel stops playing, anyway to make it carry on playing the channel regardless?
Also some way of controlling the timeshift record quality would be good!
I am having a problem downloading version 98. When i click on the download off of the main page, it opens another page that appears to have the version in the address, but only random, nonsensical characters show on the page. Any ideas on this or how I can get the latest version?
