What exactly is HIP and why would someone need it? Appears to be related to remotes. Would this allow me to do something with all those extra buttons on my Hauppauge 45 button remote that don't seem to do anything in GBPVR?
I'm trying to figure out a way to do simple recording, without all the scheduling features. From time to time it would be handy to just be able to have a play and stop button to record things from VHS. Right now I'm switching back to WinTV for that, but that takes disabling a GBPVR service and a a restart. I'm hoping there's an easier way that I overlooked.
any body care to help with setting up hip with the revision 2 mce remote and the ehome recvier with xp sp2 and gbpvr?
i can't seem to get any program to keep gbpvr in foucs with any remote function .
My pc used to work fine downloading the epg from xmltv when i had it running 24/7 but since i got hibernation working i am having problems.
First it tried ticking wake machine and complete reload but it didnt work.
Today i set it to reload epg at 8pm , knowing the machine would wake at 7:57 ready to record Eastenders at 8
The machine woke fine and recorded fine but the epg is still expiring in a few days. Looking in the logs i can see the machine starting but there is nothing in them about epg.
If i go into edit on the capture source and force a reload it will be fine.
Can anyone give me some pointers as to where/what to look for?
I am looking for a HTPC case that i can have in the living room under the TV, i have looked at the silverstone and coolermaster cases but they seem a bit on the large side. I am in the uk so if anyone could recomend any other cases & tips on quiet pc components that would be great.
I'm experimenting with the transcode these days (I know - a long time after others), and it occurred to me that most of the stuff I am recording I will watch and erase. But some stuff I know in advance that I will want to burn to DVD - and therefore it is better not to transcode at all.
I could simply tell GBPVR not to remove the old file and manually go in evey day looking for transcoded files, and removing the old MPG.
Much better if the recording quality profile had an option to mark it as "don't transcode".
Easy no?
Sorry if this had been asked a million times before -
Is the transcoding to XVID from the processing menu of the config app totally automatic?
Does it only process newly recorded shows, or all shows?
And also - does it work for manual recordings?
I'd like to run a short test, with just a couple of recordings, and don't really want it to start working 24/7 on converting all of my old recordings...
WinTV 2000 can show output on both the PVR-350 and the Windows monitor simultaneously. Can you make GBPVR do that too? That would be great - especially since you have to reconfigure and restart GBPVR to switch.
