When I try to play any recorded shows GB-PVR stays at the menu screen with the play/exit/delete popup window still open. I hear the show playing but am still looking at the menu screen. It does this when I try to play them through the Video Libraries panel too but only with mpegs, avis play fine.
On April 19th, 2006, I asked you guys if anybody had experience with remotecontrolling the TDC Selector box (Sagem casema 4210, which actually is a DVB-C tuner). There where no replies so I had to go figure it out on my own.
The conclusion is, that a simple IR circuit (I bought a assambled one) that was connected to the serial port (controlled by WinLIRC) did not work (I tried everything). I then bought a USB-UIRT and IT WORKS as a charm.
I should mention, that I use the IR receiver on my Hauppauage PVR-350 to control GB-PVR and USB-UIRT is used purly to send signals to the TDC Selector box.
Using the TDC Selector box (DVB-C tuner) gives two major advantages:
- True 16:9 picture on DR1, DR2 and TV2 (other channels transmits in 16:9 on the analog band aswell).
- Digital picture quality on 'noise' in the picture.
I'm running gbpvr on a Windows XP Home box with a Hauppauge 150 tuner.
I LOVE gbpvr - but I'm having a few problems surrounding Standby. I've tried searching the forum for other solutions and have RTFM, but found no help.
If I schedule recording(s) and put the computer in Standby, it wakes up, does the recording and goes back to standby.
But if I hit the power switch to wake from Standby, the IR is disabled when it comes back up, so I have to exit gbpvr with the mouse, start IR manually, and then start gbpvr again.
A related question is, if I start recording a show and then go away, the PC stays on until I manually put in standby. Is there a way to have it automatically go into standby after the recording is done, as it does when it wakes itself up to make the recording?
Currently, the video is only seakable in HUGE jumps or using a fastforward that is barely distinguishable from normal play (except that it lacks audio).
It would be nice if I could point & click at the video progress bar and have it seek to that position.
Failing that, better control over the seeking, because frankly, the current seeking system is very unhelpful.
The right click cancelling everything is driving me insane.
Is there any way to change how GBPVR treats a right click? I found the undocumented XML files to change how the undocumented keyboard commands work (when they work, which is about 80% of the time), but I found nothing related to the mouse buttons.
i made 2 that starts next monday.
1 records at 21:30-22:00
the other records at 23:30-00:00
right after that i went to check conflicts.. apparently the second one is conflicting with the first one
they both have the same record name and channel but the second record is an hour and a half after the first one. how would that affect it?
and another thing i've notice.. when its recording and i do something on the computer, the video is fine for the first few minutes and the rest of the video seems corrupted.
my system is an Athlon64 3200+ based system with 1GB of RAM. and its using a Sapphire Theatrix 550 TV Tuner so i'm pretty sure my system is more than capable of multitasking. cept not when GBPVR is recording a show, well it can but the recorded show would be 90% corrupted.
I installed GBPVR and I'm very happy with it. But here comes the question, I have created a seperate user account under XP with limited possibilities, I want it to boot into GBPVR, but I'm unable to start GBPVR from any account but an admin account. Does anyone have a clue how to make it possible to start the program from an ordinary account?
I have been struggling with HDTV cards in my PVR for a while. I have both a FusionHDTV Lite and a VBox DTA 151 (not ever installed at the same time). I also have a PVR500 always installed in my system for analog cable TV.
I guess I am wondering if anyone else has managed to get a setup to work acceptably with either of these cards, or really any HD card and an analog capture card. The best playback results I have achieved is having GBPVR launch the FusionHDTV or WatchHDTV application and when it closes I go back to GBPVR which is not the most elegant solution, plus I have found the FusionHDTV and WatchHDTV app unstable.
When I watch HDTV (with either card) from within GBPVR I am seeing hiccups in playback (not seen in WatchHDTV or Fusion apps), especially if the analog card is recording. I have messed with a variety of decoders, (including the Zulu decoder that comes with Fusion), and some improve quality, but not near enough to make it usable on a regular basis. I have changed between VMR9, 7, and Overlay (btw overlay makes on-screen fonts look like crap at 1280x720, native resolution of my TV.) I am using the DVR-MS. No FFDShow. In case it matters I have: NForce3 chipset mobo, AMD Sempron64 3000+, 1GB ram, SATA drive, AGP Nvidia 6200 out to HDTV.
Should I put the two cards in a pile and burn them and pretend HDTV doesn't look better than analog? Should I pray to the HDTV Gods for a miracle? Gouge my eyes out with the Vbox PCI card and never need HDTV again?
