Has anyone got a Nova-T USB, the original version (not Nova-T USB 2) to work with GBPVR? I am fed up with the awful Showshifter software which I paid £50 for a while ago, and am looking with envy at GBPVR but can't get it to work with my external USB tuner.
Hi
Im fairly new to the whole gbpvr thing, i was recommended it by a friend as an alternative to MCE, so far im not dissapointed, managed to get my Hauppage Nova T DVB (9002) working and recording no probs.
I am now trying to set up a second card KWorld DVB-T 100 card also... .. .
after some editing of the bda.ini file i have been able to get gbpvr to recognise it is there although it will not allow me to tune it....always comes up with an error message : ... failed to load capture device. I think the problem is because in graphedit under BDA receiver components there is no registered driver? (tho the hauppage 1 is there).. there is a video capture located under the "video capture sources" although the hauppage one is not the same as the bda.ini. . . which leads me to believe that it is not the correct 1.
I have heard that there maybe some conflicts with using two cards but iove also seen many threads which say they have multiple cards working relatively hassle free.
If any one could help or has any suggestion they'd be greatfully received.
(apologies for the waffling question but im not particularly up to speed on gbpvr and graphedit etc...)
Winxp corp, amd xp 2.2gig, 768mb ram (pc2100), 2x 80gig sata hdd's, radeon 9000 pro2, win tv nova-t, and hopefully a KWorld dvbt-100!?
I don't own a MVP, but if I understand correctly, you can use it as a sort of 'remote display' for GBPVR?
So you're seeing the same as on your computer screen, and use all the functions like live tv?
I use an xbox for watching recorded TV, but I cannot use the GBPVR interface from the xbox (running XBMC).
Would it be possible to built the same functionality for XBMC?
I have my home automation system running in MCE and I would really like to launch MCE in MVP.
I added added a Custom link in the plugin tab for MCE and it works on my PC but not on the MVP setup. When launched in MVP it comes up with a message 'Executing external .....' and hangs.
Hi,
I am running version .96.12 of GBPVR and version 4.x (latest version on the wiki, sorry) of my videos. When I select a video with the remote I get a dialog saying it is searching for the internet for the movie info and then the dialog clears and nothing. If I click it again this process repeats.
I have also tried to do a manual search via the scan button with no success.
I recently set up a new system for use with GBPVR and am loving it so far. The system is a clean Windows XP install on a machine only used for GBPVR. An Athlon 64 3200 with a gig of ram and a dedicated 250 gig recording drive.
I do have a couple of questions though. These are minor issues but it would be nice to resolve them. They both involve stuttering video.
1) When I am watching a recording and the recording service wakes itself to record another program I see for maybe a second or two a pretty pronounced stutter. Is it normal for the start of a recording to cause this behavior in playback?
2) I have been having a ever so minor stutter every 10 or 15 minutes. I have been experimenting to narrow it down. After much messing around I decided tonight as I sat down to watch 24 after it recorded that I would disable plugins before and then watch it. Well, I did not notice a stutter while watching that recording. It has only been one show so I know it is not definitive but it sure looks to be a plugin.
The plugins installed were
Comskip - Set to run when the program has finished recording. Most times I have noticed skips it has not been running.
My Pictures, My Music, My Video - All are installed.
Theater listing - I pull the listings manually still so it should be idle.
Weather - Set to pull weather every 60 minutes.
That's it.
My first thought is that it has something to do with comskip as I have only noticed the skip during recorded programs and not videos played through either Video Library or My videos. I don't believe it is a recording glitch as I can hit the back skip button and the same spot will not skip again.
I was wondering if it is somehow related to the setup. I have "Comskip.Exe
from current Directory" selected on the processing tab. I have Auto Skip Commercials set in the misc tab. Could it be a glitch with the Auto Skip option? I think my next experiment will be to turn that off and watch one of my existing programs. I'll need to find the remote reference to manually skip the comskip breaks then.
Those are my 2 minor items currently. If anybody can maybe save me some time troubleshooting that would be great! It's truly a great program and once I pay for all the hardware I used to set this up I will more than likely be donating.

im trying to reduce the speed it takes to convert files in the "my videos" burning feature, so far ive been using ffmpeg to do the converting from non mpeg files, but it takes about an hour on my 2.6 ghz machine (1280mb ram) to convert a 2 hour movie.
thats fine if your watching it while you encode, but is mencoder faster?
is there another app that is faster?
i want the quality to still be good (since burning to dvd).
also can you supply the command line/params if you know them (saving me from having to find them )
oh and it would be good if you could specify the filesize, or if there was an option like -dvd that would convert a file to the correct single layer size (so you dont get a 8gb file to burn to a 4.7gb disc).
