I've been noticing that my CPU is running at 100& when I'm recording, comskip is running parrellel (set in config - no paralelleprocessing.bat)
Task manager is showing comskip is at 100%
From a different thread...
reboot Wrote:Comskip will run, using what it needs for CPU. If other processes need CPU cycles, comskip will automatically throttle back.
If you run comskip in parallel, then it uses almost no cpu at all, thus you won't need the "start /low /min".
I have been using GBPVR for over 6 months now and would like to add/improve some of its features with plugins and using batchfiles.
First a little about my GBPVR setup
I live in the UK
OS winXP pro
GBPVR 9709
AMD Barton @2.2Ghz
1GB 400Mhz ddr
2x250gb HDD
using the MS DVR demuxer
3 Nova-T UK DVB (conneted to a 3 way spliter from a high gain mast amp)
Areas of GBPVR id like to improve or add to are;
Compressing recordings to xvid of h.264 in realtime or at a scheduled time and then writing them onto DVD
Improving the recorded programs libary
Improving the program guide
being able to use the interactive services like the red button
Also is there a plugin that can accuratly start recording programs when they start like the PDC on terrestial video recorders?
OK,
Call me a dummy, but I stumped on this.
I D/L the replacement DLL as mentioned, although it has no .dll extention.
placed it in the ..\devnz\gbpvr\ directory.
No Go.
Then I renamed the old GBPVRBackendCommon.dll to .ori and placed the new one in it's place with the .dll extention.
No go, and I get an error running config.exe ( obviously not the correct file and big file size difference.)
So how do I apply this .dll patch? or where do I unzip it to?
Maybe I don't unzip it at all?
Winzip produces an error, so I used WinRAR to open it.
Any help please!

Unable to load external recording plugins
I'm aware of a bug that will make it not possible to use external recording plugins (Software Recorder, SkyStar2 Recorder and DboxRecorder plugins).
I recently started using gbpvr (tough I'm supposed to study ), it's realy cool, but I have some wishes .
1)It would be cool if it would support subfolders. eg, I have my music stored in folders for each artist (if I have several songs of that artist). If I would like to play random songs, from random artists (or albums), this seems not possible.
The same for photo slideshows, sometimes I have several folders for an event (each source gets its own folder).
2) The slideshow is rather slow, is there a way to controll the speed (in seconds)?
3) I don't know if anybody is familiar with Float Mobile (http://fma.sourceforge.net/index2.htm). One of the features allows you to control several programs (like windows media player) using the scripting. Could this be possible for gbpvr? I am absolutely no programmer, but I would like to give it a try after the exams, but I think I'll need all keyboard controlls for that.
Would be cool if I could use it as a remote control .
4) Better fast-forward support (music and video) (eg. pressing and holding shift+F fast-forwards and the longer you ffwd, the faster, releasing shift+F continues playing).
That's it . Great software, going to try it out more after exams :p . I hope my TV is going to be good enough ...
My system came with a great microsoft wireless k/board. It worked OK with gbpvr while I was using the ehome driver
However, I had to try the alternate driver so that I could use my mce2005 remote to change channels on an stb. Since then the keyboard will not do anything.
Is it possible to get an MS wireless keyboard to work under the alternate drivers?
Title says it all. I have tried twice to program my setup to change channels on my pace digibox, following the wiki, HIP and HIPSend. Neither time will it do anything - even lost some of the functionality of the remote (MCE 2005 v 2.0).
Can anyone help with a ccf file that at least might get me started? At least that way I'll know if it is my programming efforts (pathetic at the best of times) or a hardware problem.
I have looked at remote central and googled until my head spun but not sure I found anything useful.
Last week, after running the latest version of GBPVR for nearly 10 days with no problems, my computer cratered on me with numerous STOP error messages. After a few reboots, I'm finally able to launch into Windows XP successfully but when I try to launch GBPVR, I receive the following error message:
"the system does not appear to support vmr9. please try a different renderer"
The strangest thing is that it still records programs that I set before the issue but were scheduled since.
I searched the forums but was unable to locate any thread that relates to my issue. This is the second time I've encountered this issue and I removed one stick of RAM from the machine and re-imaged it.
What I'm thinking of specifically is something that I can set to playback, say, 2 episodes of postman pat - maybe mix in a couple of lazytowns and then sit my two year old down in front of the tv safe in the knowledge that she wont be come rushing back to me in 20 minutes with demands of 'more postman pat!!'
(:eek: She doesnt watch that much tv, honest! - I just think it would prove useful to have such a feature from time to time...)
Most of the time Comskip works well for me, just missing the odd commercial now and then. Sometimes though, it seems the whole comskip file is offset by a minute or so. For example, a commercial break will start, then about a minute into it, the Comskip file comes to a commercial break and skips the correct length of time (the total length of all the commercials) but it goes about a minute past the end of the commercials and cuts into the show. I then have to skip back manually a couple of times to get to the "real" end of the commercial break. When a show has this problem, it will happen for the entire show, not just select commercial breaks. Any ideas?
