When I skip ahead in mpg files I've converted from xvid (see command below) the av gets out of sync by a second or so. If I jump back a minute or two, then forward a minute or two they sometimes line up perfectly again. Annoying but tolerable. This only happens with mpg files I've converted (mpg->xvid->mpg), not when they're "hot of f the presses" from the pvr150.

My Trans2mvp.bat looks like this:


"c:\program files\ffmpeggui03c\ffmpeg" -i %1 -target ntsc-svcd -acodec copy -s 3
60x240 %2

I've just been using the 'search guide' bit to check for upcoming MotoGp coverage and to set them to record. Some come up as conflicts when I go in and some don't. This is down to my 'season' records I guess - but it would be nice if when using the 'search guide' bit of gb-pvr that programs that are already set as pending to record are displayed in red, much like when looking at the 'TV Guide'. It would save having to double click on each entry, click on record, only to find it's already been done.

Thanks for listening,

How come the recording service and gbpvr.exe keep taking more and more ram the longer they are running? After 4 days, the recording service was up to 88mb... After 8 days, it was at 120mb... After 10 days (only 2 days passed this time because of heavy recording I'm guessing), it was up to 175mb.

It doesn't it ever release the memory unless I restart the service or restart the computer. Why is this?

EDIT: gbpvr.exe grows too but not nearly as much or as large...

This has been happening to me ever since I updated to v0.97.13 and beyond. I've tried stripping the system down and doing a full re-install of everything, but it still happens.

After a variable length of time (but usually after 10-15 minutes of Live Tv, timeshifted or not - doesn't seem to matter) the screen freezes - sometimes the sound continues and I can 'back out' and close down in an orderly fashion, although very slowly (waiting for a few seconds for each keystroke or remote command to take effect). Other times I have to 'kill' the GBPVR.exe process from Task Manager, and then re-start the recording service.

The only thing I can find in the logs when this happens is the following (from GBPVRRecordingService.exe.log)...

I like this program alot, good job. I just installed GBPVR last night and it was working great, then I did a windows update and updated my computer. Now GBPVR crashes when I start it. I'm using v0.97.7 and have not installed any plugins

If you guys need anything else let me know

I apprciate all the help.

Is anyone aware of, or have and idea of how i would go about, integrating gbpvr with quenic or cce encoders and the save folders.

For example, if I wanted to record show a, and show b, both daily both broadcasts.
I set gbpvr to schedule the recordings, and save them to (ideally different folders, but if they are in the same Dir, name them show a-$date and b-$date)

With gbpvr and say a ShowCount++, or an outside program, watch that folder, once I have 4 episodes of either show ( $ShowCount = 4 ), run a batch file (which I have already put together - it takes x number of avi, mpg, omg, or mkv files and converts them via quenic to DVD compatible mpg and m2v files, then builds DVD ISO files with a standard DVD menu template using $filename as the episode listing on the disk). The ISO is output in My ISO folder with the name $show - $dates for my to burn later.

Is anyone aware of a program, plugin, or way to do this - cause gbpvr to record with specifically named output files, then run my batch once x number of files with a specific name are reached?

I just added it to my computer and all works great if I am on my home network. The issue I am having is I trying to stream from outside my home network (the web page works great) the stream tries to use my IP address on my computer that is not accessible from the internet. How do I get it the use my DSL modem IP address or mine DNS web address for my home? This is what I use to get to the web page now.

Anyone know of any good mobile phone forums? By 'good' I mean they don't shoot down newbies for no reason, and not frequented by sms speaking 8 year olds.

Reason I ask is that I have a Sony Erricson k750, and would like an easier way way of creating playlists, pref on the the PC before transfer to the phone.

My new Hauppauge PVR-500 arrived yesterday...when I tried to install it in my PC (Intel 915PCY mobo, P4, 2GB, RAM, nVidia 5300) I get a lock-up. Specifically, the PC goes through POST and BIOS, boots XP, and then hangs before ctrl-alt-del. I have tried moving the PVR-500 to other PCI slots, but so far no luck. Any ideas what I am missing here?

Thanks.

I'm wondering if I can use a playlist that will play a series of videos I have in order...

I did not see this on the wiki...
