Playing recordings with the latest version sometimes causes the GUI to crash, with the "Unexpected error" message. Nothing apparent in the logs. Has happened once or twice recently. Both times it happened during watching the second recording. The first recording playback was fine.
Plugins installed: Weather & Video Archive.
Anybody noticed this?
Perhaps it is time for a full clean install as I have been upgrading the last four/five times for each new release. Logs attached.
Tried to play a recored file last night and got an error from the 'recordings' playmack menu.
So I went and had a look at the file through 'video library'. It seems that the first attempt to record failed so GBPVR tried a second attempt (I think this logic was implemented at 0.96xx?)
This obviously worked because there was a second file with a '....-1.dvr-ms'
So big thubs up on the second attempt code!!
But is seems the database pointer doesnt get updated? Does this seem right?
Sorry if 'support' is the wrong place to post this one.
I have two different problems I think. First off I have a Gemstar 56" DLP widescreen TV. I'm using the DVI input from my pc to the TV. I have an ATI express 200 onboard video setup. If I leave the resolution set to 1024x768 it does not flicker but when I bump it up to 1280x720 it will have an occasional flicker. Any ideas what could be causing this?
The second problem is with my TV display using only the middle portion of the screen for live TV with GBPVR running. It shows my desktop etc full screen. I'm running the haupauge pvr150mce with Svideo from my dishnetwork 501. It was showing full screen fine with the RGB input but the quality wasn't perfect so I tried for the DVI cable but no more full screen now. I checked all the settings on my video card and TV but found nothing obvious. Thanks in advance for your help.
I have just noticed that my DVD std mpg's are really fuzzy when playing using VMR. They sharpen up considerably when using Overlay Manager. I currently use Intervideo non CSS vid and audio decoders.
Still photos are really sharp with VMR and OM.
I've no problem with using OM but wondered if there was a reason for the VMR focus problem?
I'm new to GBPVR. I added a new BDA tuner Vbox ATSC tuner in the BDA file and the configurator recognized it as the only device detected. I used the Vbox DDT-150 as a guide. I'm using Zap2it and have all my local OTA digital stations configured. I also have no channel changer required selected. I have verified the tuner and capture names using DSFMgr.
When I click Map Digital Channels to EPG channels I get the "unable to start BDA device".
I'm curious about recent changes due to HD/Digital tv and wonder if anyone has had trouble recording certain programs/stations.
In my tests of Vista MC, occasionally, I'm not able to record a program and get the message that the content is protected and can't be recorded. Some programs on the same station record fine.
I have a friend with Direct TV and he can't record some programs with his settop dvd recorder due to the same reasons.
I know that broadcast flags are starting to become normal but how does Tivo get around this (or does it?). I've not talked to anyone who's had a problem with recording via a vcr and I'm wondering if using GBPVR will do the same. I'm not able to test my GBPVR system since it's not yet hooked up to the line I'm getting digital cable on.
Is this just the beginning of a new DRM battle?
I'm working on something which reads in simple jpg images (example, a black arrow on a white square background). For skinning purposes (and user options) I'd like to be able to change individual colours so, for instance, if the user wants a white arrow on a black background they can do that.
Is there a way that I can read a jpg in as an Image then tell the image to substitute every occurence of a pixel that is colour X with colour Y?
I know I could just draw something as simple as an arrow programatically and set the colours at that stage, but the images are a little more complex than that.
Since the newest release (fresh OS beforehand) I have developed a problem where every time I exit from Live TV or a recording, the menu is shifted downward from where it is supposed to be. If I go back into the TV or a recording, that view is centered where it should be. If I exit back to the Menu, the view remains off-center. I seem to be able to reproduce it every time. I'm using all the same drivers as before (I'm just ghosting back to a clean installed OS with all drivers installed.)
Thanks
Edit: Note that it is occuring in windowed mode also and seems to "leak" out of the window. The menu shifts down and the buttons don't line up with their commands anymore.
I am converting an old pc with Win XP Pro SP2 on it into a media center. I have purchased a WinTv-PVR-150 MCE kit with remote and have chosen to use GBPVR. My question is.. I've been reading several posts on here and notice many of you use the same capture card.. but i miust be missing some information... how are you getting that signal back to the tv for playback, or are most of you just viewing content on your computer monitor? I have a directv D10 reciever if that helps (no need for a HD card at this time, this is a trial and error thing since this is my first time building a media center).. it has inputs in it so I know it could work. Do I need another card altogether to get tv-out? Are there any cards out there that can do both you would recommend instead of the 150 (that also work with GBPVR)? Please let me know and I look forward to using GBPVR.
Keep up the good work sub
