I've just downloaded the software and it looks good. Unfortunately, it looks like my install will not be an easy one. My card (FlyDVB-T Hybrid mini) doesn't seem to be listed in the Tuning Assistant. Looking at the wiki, it's clear that adding the card is not very straight forward. I've tried several PVR systems today, and all of them seem to automatically pick the TV card up. Having to pick it yourself or even having to add it yourself (editing ini files and such) seems a real step backward. There's probably a very good reason for this so please enlighten this noob!!
when you watch a recording on tivo and you get to the end, it pops up a small menu with two options:
1) Keep this recording and return to main menu (default)
2) Delete this recording and return to main menu
would this be very hard to add to gbpvr?
i think it would only be appropriate on tv recordings - not on videos or music library. of course, all tivo does is tv recordings... which is why i don't have a tivo. :p
I am using a Hauppauge 150. When I play back recordings on my computer (and the TV from the computer) I get blurry video when there is a lot of motion. It's as if there is a small trail behind something when it moves quickly. I've burned some recordings to DVD and the same does not happen when played on the DVD player, so I know it's not the video file's problem.
What kind of settings can I change to avoid this problem? In general it's not a big deal, but when I try to watch a football game where the ball is thrown downfield, it's a little bit tough to follow the action.
today i finally got my client up and runing and setting it up with the gb-pvr server in terms of tv guide and recordings went very easy! i love using the great plugin myvideos 5 with my server pc and would love using it on my client PC. the thing is that the data i mark on my server (episode names,metadata, watched, position etc) does not appear in my client. Could this be done? if not now will it be in the future? i dont want to start tagging all my 400 GB of series and TV shows if i cant use the tags all over the house
thx for this great plugin
Why is it that a recorded show at medium quality streams very well over m 54g network. But live tv stutters and jumps around? Is it just because its recording at the same time and the host computer can't send the data fast enough or something? I used Sagetv for a bit a while ago and there client worked great. Just wondering what it might be. There should be enough bandwith. I even changed live tv bitrate down to what my medium was an it still jumps. I increased the buffer too like on the other forums. I have tried both file sharing and streaming. File sharing is the only way the recordings work good. But never live tv. Anyway let me know if anyone knows whats up. Thanks.
Hi all,
Iâve added a new feature in I-xmltv (for myself) that adds some pretty serious search capabilities. This feature is specifically designed to work with the âTV Listingsâ plugin.
It creates a "Find" channel containing "genre", "text", and user-defined "lists" that can be searched for, using "Find More" in TV Listings.
Iâm looking for a few volunteers from various countries that will share their genre and search lists so I can include them in the distribution package.
I have now way of gathering genre's from other contries.
Iâm also checking if enough people can use it, and would want it, to warrant the effort involved to refine & share it.
If youâre a novice GBPVR user please post if you would like the feature or not, but (at this stage) Iâm looking for people that are very comfortable with their EPG.
If you feel comfortable working out your own little EPG issues, and would like to help, awesome!
Iâve attached the ini for everyone to look at, and Iâll post a few screenshots showing how it all works together.
Comments welcome, good or bad!
Jim <edit> this post has received a major edit because the latest version has been modified to work with every type of epg source!
I've read a couple threads on the PVR500 having some difficulties on the second tuner with picture quality, so I want to confirm if this is indeed my problem. I have a PVR150 and a PVR500 in my system, the 150 gets great picture quality on all channels, the PVR500 tuner #2 is half snowy on channel 2, and the snow gets less on ch 3, even less on 4, and on up to where ch 7/8 are pretty good quality. The PVR500 tuner #1 exhibits similar behavior, but not nearly as bad, it is watchable. I thought maybe it is a signal problem due to my running a 4-way splitter from the wall, which then goes to the PVR system. I plugged the PVR500 directly into the wall, and the picture does get a bit better, but ch 2 is still snowy. Even behind the splitter the 150 is great (I know the 500 has a built in splitter which will further degrade quality, but it still does it directly plugged into the wall).
Could this be a case of a faulty card or could possibly installing an in-line amplifier help the situation? I've already replaced all of the cables with high quality gold plated cables and it is still snowy, updated to the latest drivers, etc. Thanks.
Any Tips?
