I was transferring MiniDV to my computer (done it a lot already) and this time I started getting these gray blotches. They don't show in the Camera viewfinder/lcd display on playback, and not in WinDV while I capture. Only playback of the resulting AVI.
I was thinking that the camera's heads need cleaning...

What do you think? The Gray blacks are in the same spot, and they flash... I have no titling or effects on the camera...
This morning I found my GBPVR stuck with an enormous gbpvr.exe-native.log of well over 4 gigabytes. The other logfiles were filled with messages about a full disk, so I could not find a cause for this. My acute problem is solved so I do not need help for that. I would like to avoid this haoppening again in the future.
Two questions:
1) Any suggestions of what might be wrong?
2) Would it not be wise to set an upper limit to the size of logfiles?
Because of problem caused by my tweaking the gb-pvr program, I removed and reloaded the program. After reinstalling the program it now cannot find or see my Hauppauge pvr500 card. I updated the cards drivers without success. Any suggestions as to what I might try would be greatly appreciated
I recorded two shows and one of them was the ultimate fighter, the first show I watched later on with comskip enabled on the fly and everything worked perfectly. Then when I went to watch the ultimate fighter I noticed the intro sound was being choppy, but once the real show started the sound was fine.
Then after about 10 minutes the show I was recording went mute and a audio commerical about HIV/AIDS came on for a few minutes and then went away. I'm not sure what to think, but I went into the directory and played the Mpeg directly from explorer and the sound is there as well. I thought originally it had something to do with comskip, but it seems even watching the commericals the muted show with an audio commerical is still running.
I havne't watched the whole show, but seems like it happens another time. It's really making the show unrecordable to watch again. I'm not sure exactly even what's goign on, so it's why I'm posting here also.
Im using HIP with a Hauppauge MCE remote. How do i program the ch+ and ch- to change the channel in live tv but in the guide be used and page up down. I can get it to do either but not both.
Posted this over on byopvr too, but since my preference is to use GBPVR, figured I'd try here. This is all relatively new to me, so forgive me if this is a noob question ...
I'd like to be able to use my htpc to both watch/record/playback TV, and to play music through my stereo. The catch is that I want the TV audio to play through the TV, and I want music to play through my stereo in a different room. I know how to get both TV and music to play through either only the TV speakers or only the stereo, but how do I get the two different sources to play through two different sets of speakers (short of having to throw a switch manually).
I've started reading about things like the MediaMVP, and am wondering if I couple this with something like GBPVR I can accomplish what I desire? My TV is limited to two inputs (I really need to buy one with more input choices), and I suspect that I could use these two different inputs to try and accomplish this (hook one up to GBPVR and use that input for TV audio, hook the other input up to a MediaMVP and drive the video from that to the TV and the audio to my stereo and use that for listening to music). It'd be a little clunky, but it's the only way I have thought of to do what I want. Or is there something that I have missed that will easily let me do this all through the same 10 foot UI? Is there a way to tell GBPVR to use one playback device for TV-related audio, and a different device for music?
I'm putting together my first PVR, and I have a noob question that I can't find any mention of anywhere (this forum, google, other forums, etc.).
I have a Wintv PVR 150 that came with a remote (45 button, I think), receiver and IR blaster (non-MCE). I expect that the blaster will work on the DirecTV stb that I have to change the channels, etc.
But the thing that I'm unsure of is how would I be able to control the TV with this remote? I don't think it is programmable itself, and the blaster is going to be tied up with the stb. I'd really only need power and volume +/-, as everything else will be done thru the PVR.
I was expecting to have to use another blaster to control the tv, and I had settled on one that works with WinLIRC, but before I bust out the soldering iron, is there something obvious that I'm missing? Some magic "control my tv" checkbox that I missed somewhere?
Hi guys, I recently stumbled across gb-pvr, and I was very impressed with how fast it was to set it up w/ directv. I spent days trying to get it to work with MediaPortal. Now, I was wondering if it is possible to have a remote control input plugin? I wrote the X10 control plugin for Meedio, so I actually do know what I'm doing - just not in C#. All of my stuff is in C++. So if it is possible to write an input plugin, could someone please point me in the right direction. Thanks.
