Hi,
I hadn't updated my GBPVR software in a while, and so I recently updated to version 0.9713. I have a Hauppauge WinTV 350 which I bought a few years ago, and as I recall that card worked with GBPVR, but in this newest version the live-tv feature simply shows black on my tv-out (works fine with software encoding). The on screen displays still work fine through tv-out, but there isn't any picture or sound. Recorded stuff plays fine through the Tv-out, so I'm not sure why it's just the live tv.
I noticed on the wiki that it says that the hauppauge wintv 350 isn't recommended any more for gbpvr due to some issues. I wonder if this live tv through tv-out is one of them due to hardware encoding? In any case, I reinstalled an older version of GBPVR and the tv-out is working again. Can anyone tell me if a) there's a way to fix this problem in the latest version? or b) what the most recent version that supports the 350 is?
i just purchased a hdtv card and im trying to get it working. in the dvico software it works (cept for sound, maybe i need to connect the analog sound cable?) when i config the card in gb using this guide it doesnt work. if i try pushing the map digital channels to epg i get this error...
gb-pvr was unable to start the device you have configered. check the device is configured properly, and not in use.
like i said it works in the software from dvico. and no its not in use.
I am having trouble with the software in Germany. When retrieving the EPG by scraping DVB-T broadcasts, the national characters seem to be lost when put into the database.
I am not sure how to start debugging this, as I am not sure if the national characters (German for example üöäÃ) are lost while reading the DVB-T stream, or are the dropped when written into the database.
I appreciate any help you can give me.
Many thanks,
Dane
Configuration
- Windows XP SP2 English
- GB-PVR 0.97.13
- Hauppauge DVB-T Stick "Nova-T"
Don't know if this is fixed in a later release, i'm afraid I haven't kept up as the hassle of migrating everything including plug-in's is too much and I have a relatively stable platform however i've just noticed the following behaviour today which doesn't seem right.
I looked in the config programme but didn't make any changes and cancelled out. The recording service had been instructed to stop and not restart.
This seems very wrong. I've long said that there should be a deferred apply but to stop the service when no changes have been made and to not pop up a dialog to say so is wrong behaviour.
Surely the recording service should only be instructed to stop and start if changes have been made and OK is pressed.
I'm thinking of getting this KVM switch to allow me to have my gaming PC and my dev/HTPC machine hooked up to one monitor, keyboard and mouse.
Have a 19" Samsung running off VGA, one PC with WinXP and GBPVR and another with WinXP and Ubunu linux on dual boot. I want to use the KVM with a Microsoft Multimedia keyboard and IntelliMouse.
Questions/Issues
* Googling I've found that not all keyboards work with KVM due to a Scroll Lock key problem.
* Would a KVM introduce lag on keyboard/mouse commands? This would be a nightmare when playing games.
* Would all the extra multimedia buttons on the keyboard still work when used through a KVM?
Not really a GBPVR 'problem' as such, so apologies if this thread is inappropriate in this forum section.
My fancy new camcorder outputs files in MP4 format. Now these files play really well on GBPVR through my MVP.
The problem is that I've got loads and loads of small clips and need to join them all together. For example I have about 200 individual clips from a recent familiy holiday. I have tried the following:
Video editors such as Ulead Video Studio which although quite usable do not allow me to save as MP4 files with the same bitrate and framesize as the original input files. I don't want to re-render the clips.
Video Joiners - I have only found one which is a 'true' MP4 joiner YAMB but it's got a few bugs and can only cope with a few files at a time.
So the big question is:
Does anyone know of an MP4 video joiner that will concatenate large numbers of MP4 clips in a reliable manner without throwing errors or wanting to alter bitrates and frame sizes.
Since there are as of yet no drivers for the Haupaugge IR Blaster that will work with my Directv D11 box and there's not a way that I feel confident won't be incredibly frustrating yet to use the USB port on the back of this box. Can someone suggest a good IR Blaster that could be programmed to work with this box using my current directv remote. I am currently simply making manual recordings and using them in junction with the autotune feature on the box. It would be nice to be able to use the full functionality on this. Thanks.
i saw this feature on dvbviewer. there its possible to record several sessions
at the same time on different channels which comes from the same transponder. this is possible with a single dvb-tuner (channels are within the
same transportstream).
So I love the "prompt for resume" option...
However there are only 2 options: resume and restart. I think there should be a third option to go back to the menu. Under the current implimentation if I accidentally select a show I must first select resume, then press stop. Obviously this is a rather unimportant detail but I don't think that it would be hard to impliment, that's why I figured I should ask about it.
I'm experiencing problems with almost every single plugin I've used.
I'm having problems with the volume with the volume plugin. It's showing two different numbers
With mymusicII, when I uncheck the box not to search m3u files, yet it's still showing up. A few mp3 folders for some reason show the entire address path for the file name.
The theatre and weather seemed like the only ones that were working, but since I was having so much trouble with all the plugins I wipped everything out and now when I installed the theatre, for some reason it's not getting half the theatres around my area and nothing very close to me.
I was looking at the plugin changes and decided that I'd give the appearance plugin a chance, since it looks pretty nice. I installed the plainjain setup and installed the plugin and everything seemed to be ok, then I couldn't click on theatre, couldn't click on a few other menus or it would give me an missing object warning with some xml file missing or something.
I'm just hoping it's something I can do, because I'm really not having any luck with any plugin. Come to think about it out of all the plugins I've tried the only one that I can consistently work is the weather plugin.
I'm trying to figure out the reason, so I double clicked on my installation of the latest GB-PVR software and did a remove and then I went into the installation directory and delete everything that's left, but I'm still having problem.
I'm wondering if it's something to do with CommonGBPVRUtilities or GbpvrUiElements.dll as it seems kind of strange to me that I need these two files for almost all the plugins, yet not exactly sure why it's not part of the core GB-PVR if it's needed by so many plugins and especially if there's a few version of either one of these dll files I'd figure it would be included in the main core instalation package.
I really like GB-PVR and the plugins seem so promising, but right now I can't seem to get a stable plugin.
