I'm just setting up this PC to be a PVR but when I hook the TV-Out to my tv using the S-video, the text is blurry, image is somewhat soft. I have the latest Nvideo drivers. I tried setting the video resolution to different settings: 1024x768, 800x600, 640x480 and changing the nvidia specific settings for contrast, gamma, image sharpener but it still looks blurry. Some settings have been better than others.
Should the text within Windows (such as the "My Computer" icon) be more clear? I haven't installed GBPVR yet as I'm trying to get this fixed first.
Also, I have an older ATI Radeon 7800 and was wondering if I should use that instead or would I get an even worse picture?
I use the web interface to gbpvr quite heavily, I find it much easier to schedule recordings while I am at home or if I'm out at the office and I remember I have to record something. All of the features of the web interface seem to work well for me with the exception of play program, Note I can download the show without issue. I click to Open the m3u file windows media player begins to load and then just sits there, seems to crash.
Any ideas?
I am new here. I just installed the program and it seemed to work okay. I watched TV for a bit. I then started playing around with recording shows. I started a recording on a present show and now I cannot do anything in the program.
What I mean by "I cannot do anything" is that it is like the recording is never started. I get an error if I try to play the recording that I cannot watch it while I am recording it and if I try to look at the live TV I get an error:
"Error: Length cannot be less than zero. Parameter name: length" with an Okay button.
Anyone have a clue what it going on?
There is no recording happening. I cannot cancel the recording. Even rebooting does nothing. Afterwards it still has in the "Pending" that it is recording the show.
I ran "Show Status" and it says
Recording Status
Hauppauge 150
Sleeping
I can open the WinTV2000 program and it starts the playing of the TV on channel 4 which is different then the channel that the program is suppose to be recording.
There is something else I see. If I select the check box for the configuration utility to show me the detected cards in the system I get that my card is not detected.
The really wierd thing about all this is that I could watch TV from the program previous to trying to record the show.
I recently purchased the WinTV-PVR-150 w/ remote (NOT the MCE) and set up GBPVR. Have to say I'm loving it. But, I'd like to use HIP so I can map the buttons on the remote to do the things I want. However, everywhere I look all the refrences to HIP are for the MCE remote or other USB remotes. Does HIP work with the NON-MCE remote that comes with the Hauppauge PVR150? and if so can someone point me in the right direction?
Also, if HIP can't work with this remote is there another way to map the buttons? I've been searching for days and just can't find anything.
I am having a problem with GBPVR. I am usig v96.12. If I watch a recording made in GBPVR, the playback is jerky. If I"m watching Live TV in preview mode, the video is very slow and out of sync with teh audio. If I"m using timeshifting I have teh same problem as if I was watching a recording.
I have read through all 10 pages of this post and I have downgraded my quartz.dll file to the v9.0b one. I have tried a few different decoders (Nvidia, Intervideo, sys default) and that doesnt seem to make a difference. Computer is an Athalon 2500 with a gb of RAM. Vid Card is a Geforce fx5200
I set interlacing in Config to "pass thru encoder" and its a little better but still not smooth, plus audio is out of sync. if I use render overlay, it seems to take care of the problem with recordings, and Live TV looks better, but out of sync, plus I'd rather have the transparent OSD.
Anyone got any ideas, or something I've overlooked?? I will defrag my drive tonight (its bedtime) but assuming that doesnt change anything, I would love some help.
There are 2 things about gbpvr that might be easially implimented and could enchance it a little bit
first is the nameing of recordings its in a weird format also we waste the fact that we could information abou thte file such as episode name title of show and discription saved as attributes of the file
the next this is for vhs dubbing to digital files a start record and gives you an option to chose a tunner and save to a file then a stop button when the vhs tape is finished this would allow easially added your aging vhses into gbpvr and using it for vhs-dvd dubbing.
I have just finished installing GBPVR onto a friend's system and am concerned with the poor quality of the still picture display. He has a brand new 50" LCD back projection TV which is very nice except when the still images are stretched to fill the screen. There are very obvious signs that there are not enough pixels to fill the screen! (Maybe I'll keep my 32" glass bottle screen!).
I know many of you have large panels so will have figured out how to fix this problem. Do we have to restrict the pic size to somewhat less than full screen or something?
