I get the above log entries (among others naturally) when entering the System screen, GB gets there, but only shows the menu (tried several skins), no version numbers or disk usage is shown. Any ideas?
Another wish i have is this:
Your resume-function is really wunderful! But i am missing something! An indicator! Some sign for me as viewer, that i already saw a little from a movie and could resume it.
Imagine you have a folder with a staff from a series and watched Episode 27, interrupted it and wanted to look back another day... you have to long seek, if you want to continue your watching =)
Ah, and then is there i bug i had found:
If you have watched a clip/movie complete through the end, the the resume entry is not deleted within the database. I can everytime reenter resume for this movie and see the last 2 seconds of the clip
Could you implement the ability for this plugin to read EXIF Informations? Especially for the rotation of a picture shooted by a digicam.
In the moment i have to recompress all of my shooted pictures, if they're not in the right direction.
With the release of firmware version 2.8, Sony has removed the naming convention limitation and will now recognize video files regardless of their name. It would be nice GB-PVR would allow us to select (via a checkbox for example) whether to use pre-2.8 naming conventions or 2.8+ naming conventions for our converted shows.
I've finanilly managed to set up gbpvr with hauppage wintv pvr usb2, and it looks like everything is working fine. Except that i cannot change the volume.
The remote is working fine, i can toggle the menu and skip through the channels, except for the volume buttons... cannot find the keys on the keyboard either to change the volume (expected left-arrow, right-arrow)
any suggestions?
My problem is there is no sound in live TV after I reboot the PC. The sound works for everything else other than live TV.
I can get the sound to work by running Hauppauge's WinTV software, and closing it as soon as I hear some sound. It's as if the WinTV program is initialising the sound and then GBPVR can use it.
I thought I saw a similar thread some time ago but I can;t find it now
Can anybody help?
Would it be any help to post my log files?
I got my analog (cable) setup working all nice and cool (using a simple laptop + Hauppauge USB).
Now, if (or when) I want to jump to the HDTV world, I still have trouble understanding the terms and possible options.
If I wanted to use our local Cable provider (get a HD setop box) - then how will I use GBPVR with it? I will have to get the HDTV signal into the PC, do the PVR job, and then out to a display (over HDMI/DVI).
Is it possible at all to have the digital HD signal into the PC? or all the people here using HDTV are using tuners on the PC?
And if it's a tuner on the PC - then does it mean it has to be FTA?
Please give me (or refer me to) a newbie HTDV/BYOB-PVR guide?
On the recordings page, would it be possible to highlight or otherwise indicate any reoccuring recordings that don't have any scheduled recordings?
(And if the same could be added to the web admin that would be great too)
The reason I ask is that I've had several instances recently where my reoccuring recordings have failed for one of the following reasons:
1) Guide data programme name change - for example I set a reoccuring recording for "Time Trumpet", the first episode recorded fine, but subsequent episodes didn't. The guide data had changed the name to "Time Trumpet with Iannucci". I've remade the reoccuring recording for that name now, but have missed an episode
2) Programme time change - sometimes the broadcaster changes the time slot for a given programme meaning that the reoccuring recording stops working (I set most of my reoccuring recordings to the exact time of the show as some shows are repeated several times during the day and I don't want multiples of the same episode)
3) Programme skips a week - sometimes a bank holiday in the uk or other special occassion (world cup for example) means that programmes in a series might skip a few weeks.
I've also been bitten by an old reoccuring recording suddenly springing back to life (Alias) one weekend while Bravo had an "Alias Weekend" and subsequently ended up with about 80 gigs worth of unwanted programmes taking up space!
Highlighting reoccuring recordings that don't have any scheduled recordings would mean that in all cases of the above it would be easy to spot and investigate before the "disaster" occurs as opposed to after the wife has given me earache as to why her favourite programme has failed to record again :eek:
Yes this goes under the "why don't you try it" category, but i'm at work & can't just yet.
Someone gave me a 20" Dell flat panel that got rained on (I guess it was in a car with the window down)
Well of course it didn't work & they gave it to me.
I took it apart & dried it out.
Put it back together & it appears the VGA input is shot(probably from hooking it up while the circuit board was still wet), however it has DVI, Svideo & composit inputs.
S-video appears to work just fine when hooked up to my GBPVR machine, however i'm running 720x480 & sending that to a 1600x1200 native res lcd.
It's still a good picture, but i'm wondering if I were to raise the res on the PC & let that scale the video instead of the monitor if I could get a sharper picture.
It's a g-force 6200 so it does the hardware scaling.
I'm just not sure if it's possible to send that high a res through even a good svideo cable or even if the hardware will allow it or just kick it down.
I have located a DVI cable to test tonight so i'm hoping that input is still good.
My question aside from the s-video res is does anyone run GBPVR to a high res display & if so what res do you run it at & do you play non HD content to it.
I wanted to post about an experience I have had with Radio Shack so that it comes up whenever anyone is searching for the Hauppauge WinTV-PVR USB2 on this board.
When doing a froogle search for this product, the lowest cost reputable (by name) vendor in the USA is Radio Shack. Be warned that Radio Shack does *not* offer this product in the United States although the product's name and picture listed on their website currently (8/17/06) sure makes it look like they do:
Radio Shack has included the wrong product name and wrong product picture in this listing. I was delighted by the price but not delighted when I opened the box to find the Hauppauge USB model 1020 tuner that does *not* include a hardware MPEG encoder, making it unusable with GBPVR. In fact if you look at the fine print, you will see the only thing accurate about their listing is the Hauppauge Model number, which I did not notice until I went back and rechecked the listing on their website after receiving the wrong product. If you look for the Hauppauge model 1020 tuner on any other vendor's website, you'll find the useless (for GBPVR anyway) tuner I received.
I have no personal vendetta against Radio Shack, and in fact they were prompt to offer me a full refund and a pre-paid mailer to ship it back for free. I just wish I would have found a report like the one I'm writing now while doing my research on this board. Still I am bummed... I was really looking forward to adding a second tuner to my system this afternoon.
