I've been searching for some knowledge about getting the DViCO Fusion Plus remote (Red,Green,Yellow,Blue buttons on the bottom) working in GBPVR, but I can't find anything in the forums or archives.
It's obviously not supported natively; reading the Wiki it seems like I'm supposed to use download and use HIP, but I'm not sure which HIP plugins to use, and I don't want to spend days experimenting. The Wiki cheekily suggests that there is no fun in asking for help - I disagree!
I don't use MCE (I use Win2K Pro), I don't have a STB to control, I just want the remote to work in GBPVR (and other applications if I can get it to go).
If anybody has done this successfully, I would appreciate a link outlining their process and configuration files.
& permissions to the web interface?
I wanna GBPVR to run on my computer and supply streaming of video, recordings & mp3 to users on the web using the web interface, but i dont want them to be able to cancel recordings i've marked...
I'm not to sure to put this thread in the MVP or the support section but since I'm using one (MVP) I'll start here.
When watching divx movies though the MVP using the HP software, it shows them just the way you would aspect. Sizes like 604x249 show black bars all around. So the divx is "untouched" in size/aspect ratio.
But..... when using GB-PVR these same avi's are stretched to full screen, aspect ratio all wrong. I didn't change settings on the TV, it's on a fixed format so no auto scaling etc.
If I'm not mistaken GB-PVR doesn't do any active scaling/resizing. It only triggers the player and steps out of the way. But why is it that my movies are all distorted when using GBPVR and not with the HP software?
As a workaround I've tried to letterbox the avi's and it's a solution but not one to my likings !
Anyone some thoughts on this one ?
This may sound stupid, but it actually has some realivant uses. I love the watched flag the program maintaines, but since I "preview" movies after they are recorded from cable to ensure quality and don't actually watch the whole thing the watched flag is inaccurate. Since my provider is actually unreliable, so sometimes I have to delete and reschedule. I would like to be able to mark those movies as unwatched so I know later. This could be done by pressing a button on the remote over the recording.
I've set up quite a few PCs with GBPVR, not few with PVR 350, so i kow my troubleshooting ;.)
However, I'm struggeling with a friends PC. He just bought a Medion 8808 with the (Aldi) Medion CTX 944 quad TV Tuner / Dual DVB-T based on the Philips 7131/7134 chipset.
I'm stuck getting it to work on the analog side (Cable TV), so I'm wondering if anyone has had any success, and how you then did it?
If you have definitely ruled it out I would of course also like to know.
Perhaps this is possible already, but it would be nice to have something display on in GUI's main menu that would notify the user that the recording service is not running. I have had the recording service die on me and not known it until I tried to either enter live tv (a rarity) or view GBPVR info via EWA. I use the program daily for watching web streams and recordings, but I have no idea of the status of the recording service until I either stumble upon it via the methods above or by noticing that things are not being recorded. I know that I should be able to track down the source of the problem and resolve it, but in the meantime it would be nice to have 'heads-up' that nothing will be recorded.
If the status is available for the skins could someone please tell me the variable name so I can add it to the skin I use?
Also, on a similar front, is there a way to automatically restart the recording service if it should happen to die? When I notice that it has stopped running, a simple restart recording service works fine.
I have a Hauppauge 500mce that I'm trying to make work with gbpvr the the 500mce ships with out a decoder. What should I do? What the functional difference between them? Which is better...cheaper? I have researched and cn't find any real info on the subject. Also does anybody know about conflict with the mce and difficulty working with an integrated video card? Having lots of problems any advice would be great! thanks!!
I tried to upgrade from version 0.96.12 to version 0.97.9, but one of my capture cards keeps disappearing. I have three capture cards: one WinTV PVR 250 and two WinTV PVR MCE's. The 250 and one of the 150's are connected directly to the cable, and the other 150 comes through a cable box (in order to get digital and premium channels).
After I installed 0.97.9, one of the PVR 150's disappeared from the "Capture Sources", so I added it to the list, saved the configuration, and retarted the recording service. I started Config again, and the card had disappeared again.:confused: I tried this a couple more times after restarting and trying to fix the Microsoft MDAC, all to no avail.
I finally gave up, reinstalled version 0.96.12, and found all of my original capture sources, plus all the new ones I set up were showing up under "Capture Sources." :confused: :confused:
Computer configuration:
AMD Athlon 64 processor 3400+
