I'm running a server with two Hauppauge PVR-150 tuners, GBPVR 96.12 (been meaning to upgrade). In my bedroom, I have a Pentium 3 networked PC also running a GBPVR client and I tweaked it to play the recordings off the server. This is all working fine. In fact, I just purchased a 42" LCD TV which is connected to the P3 PC thru VGA which works very well.
I am interested to purchase an HDTV tuner and was wondering if I could throw one into the server as a third tuner.
Questions:
1. What HDTV tuner(s) work best with GBPVR?
2. Can I record HDTV seemlessly with GBPVR while continuing to record the analog content? I remember somewhere in the forums that I can customize the tuner channels so that only the HDTV tuner has access to the HD channels.
3. Main Question - would I be able to play the HDTV recordings in the bedroom thru GBPVR and thru the VGA port? I am not sure if the P3 1Ghz PC is fast enough to process the HD signal but that is a test I can make. But if the PC can process the files, will I see the output in true HD on the 42" LCD TV?
Ive read almost all the posts and tried almost everything, but I cant get GBPVR to record ATSC HDTV broadcasts. I have used the mux checker and I have tried these filters all independently with no sucess:
GB-PVR has detected the following multiplex filters on your machine:
I ran the filmerit utility and found that there was an ATI mux called: ATI MPEG Multiplexer. It isn't getting picked up by the MuxChecker. I'm guessing it isn't supported by gbpvr. The file is called: C:\Program Files\Common Files\ATI Technologies\Multimedia\atidvcr.dll I even tried unregistering that file with no luck.
When I try to record. I get 0kb files. If I try to pause livetv, I get "Error: failure playing back file". I have tried lots of different audio and video renderers but no changes with recording. I seem to get the best live tv performance out of the custom vmr9. Oh and regular cable records fine only hdtv is broke. Does anyone have any suggestions or does anyone have an HDTV Wonder card that is working well in gbpvr? I would be interested to see the output of your muxchecker. I attached some zipped logs and also the ati mux I found.
Sub, if this is a real ATI mux, would it be difficult to support it in a future release? The output of the filmerit log for my system is also in the zip. See the entry for "ATI MPEG multiplexer" for details of that mux. Thanks for supporting this great app.
I have been having lonstanding troubles with ffmpeg and AV sync issues when trasncoding AVI on the fly for MVP. Today I found that this occurs when I use ffmpeg to make mpg files not on the fly as well.
As an experiment I used mencoder to transcode AVI to mpg (not on the fly) with no AV sync problems at all.
I would now like to replace the ffmpeg commands in the config.xml with ones that are suitable for mencoder so that I can use mencoder on the fly. I will rename mencoder to ffmpeg to fool GBPVR.
Has anyone done this and do they have examples of the commandline parameters they used/
I have setup xDVD with the correct <BaseFileDirectory> etc (I have windows on e:\). However, it is trying to find VLC on c:\prog files\....
How can I tell it that this is not right ? (i'm sure it worked in the past !)
I'm using a Hauppage 350 and am not getting any sound when watching Live TV (haven't tried a recording yet). I tried both TV audio and the onboard VIA sound. I can listen to MP3's within GBPVR but the sound does not come thru the TV it comes thru the onboard VIA sound card
I also can't seem to watch DVDs, I do have the box checked under the DVD tab in config
I have had a problem crop up recently wherein I could not get ML2 to work via my MVP. The "Library View" would display fine, but when trying to queue (YELLOW button) an album or a track nothing would happen. I would press the GREEN button to view the Playlist and I would only see the words MISSING PLAYLIST.
I tried a number of things to try to get this working again, but ultimately today I actually uninstalled GBPVR v96.12 and did a fresh install of .NET Framework 2.0 and GBPVR v97.13 and then installed your new plugin (v3.11).
So, now the tracks successfully queue (i.e., I can see them in the playlist), but I can never get anything to actually play. Even highlighting an individual track and pressing the PLAY button on the remote has no effect.
I did some browsing and I saw where you had made a newer release available (Release.zip was the file download) so I tried this one as well. This fixed a problem wherein there was no display of "Artists" in the upper right panel upon being in Genre / Artist / Track mode, BUT still no luck on getting ANYTHING to play.
Any ideas? This problem is quite frustrating to say the least.
BTW .. everything works fine on the PC. These problems are only via the MVP.
When using the current version of MusicLibrary2 with GBPVR v97.13 and the Fat Blue High Visibility Skin (v0.97.7) I get the following error upon selecting ML2 from the menu:
Error: Parameter is not valid
I know it's the skin because if I change to the standard "Blue" or "H-MVP" I encounter no errors. However, I really want to use the High Vis skin given that my TV is 27".
Hi, I want to be able to transcode the recordings I made from TV to a smaller format. However, my GBPVR system is only hooked up to the TV so there are a few things I need:
1. The recording must still appear in the "my recordings" list, and GBPVR must be able to play it.
2. The transcoding should, ideally, be lossless, or at least near lossless.
3. I do not want to run comclean, but I do want the comskip functionality, that is, the dark green sections still appear when playing the file, but are skippable by pressing the play button on the remote.
