Whilst trying the new IRBlaster code and my channel numbering, I have been starting recordings from the tv guide and cancelling them to check channel changing is reliable with the new code.
With one program just started recording, I went to cancel it in the pending recording menu and it seemed to cancel ok. The red colour went away in the tv guide. But 'show status' from the tray showed it to be still recording. Going to 'live tv' gave a 'no tuners available' message. Resolved by stopping recording service.
attached, tailend of recording services log. Program tested was BlackAdder.
I experience the following problem:
I have scheduled a recording, say on channel 7, witch runs at 7 PM.
I get home every night at 7:30, and want to start watching the show from the beginning. The show offcourse should keep recording while i am watching, now the following occurs:
- If the last channel i watched before starting to watch the show is the same as the channel the show is on, no problem, i can timeshift, etcetera.
- If the last chennel i watched before starting to watch the show is however different from the channel the show is on, the recording *somtimes* stops the moment i start watching it. GBpvr still reports the show as 'recording' in recordings overview, and also the recording device is marked busy (entering live tv will giva a message about this and the choice to either not watch tv, or to watch the recording program.),but the recorded mpg stops growing, and the timeline while watching stops at that moment (for instance: When entering at 3 min. 35 seconds timeline will stop at that.)
Is this a known problem or have i got something misconfigured?
Is the problem most likely to be in the driver config or...?
Here's my setup:
hardware:
* via sp13000 c3-2 nehemiah 1,3 ghz
* hauppauge wintv150
* maxtor diamondmax 10 250Gb
As the title says,
I have one Hauppauge 150 and one 500, tonight i wanted to watch live tv but 2 shows were already recording. I got the no tuner available message but i got one left ?
I did a quick record on the channel i wanted to watch and it started recording.
As a test i recorded some different channels, no problems at all, 3 recordings at once just live tv wouldn't go. All tuners have the same channels mapped.
Someone got a clue ?
I have a Hauppauge PVR-150 MCE and am running GBPVR 96.12 and am unable to watch Live TV. I used to be able to watch live tv but now when I try to watch a show the video freezes on the menu and I can hear the audio from the channel. The scheduled recordings turn out fine.
I noticed last night that a recording my wife was watching from my HTPC would stutter when I paused another recording I was watching via my MVP. The stuttering stopped when I unpaused the MVP recording. Has anyone else seen this?
I've been a kind of amateurish user of GBPVR for a while,but following a house move have been motivated to get it set up properly once for all. Was wondering if anyone could shed some light on a problem I'm having with MVP playback.
On my PC it's fine, but on the MVP I'm getting jerky playback with what appears to be both audio/ video. I've played around with the GBPVR Playback config settings, but have had no joy so far. I must be betraying my ignorance, but would think that playback would be problematic both on the PC and the MVP if there were a decoder problem - any suggestions?
I'm postitive that I had MVP playback running sweetly on my last machine, but am now using a new one with an NVIDIA GeForce GPU. At present, I'm using the InterVideo decoder, which I think I've always been using. A few details here if they help anyone that's feeling helpful!!
I have a new gbpvr installation running for about a week now. I have it set to update from zap2it daily at 4am. However, no content has ever been updated using this method. When trying to manually update, I get an error saying that the configuration does not appear to be correct. If I try again, it always works, without changing anything. So, it always gives the error on the first try, then it always works on the second try. There are no firewalls, and there is no problem with any other internet connectivity on this PC. I have attached the latest config.exe.log.
in your next version of My Videos can you allow it to recognize playlists?
For example:
[Dir1]
Movie1 CD1.avi
Movie1 CD2.avi
[Movie Dir]
Movie1.m3u --> containing the above two movies in a playlist.
Movie3.avi
Movie4.avi
My Video then only sees Movie1.m3u, but knows to queue up the two files. It's a bit more work behind the seens for the owner but it makes the interface cleaner than having stacking or two entries for the same movie.
I have playing around with numerous different codecs and various version of the hauppauge drivers for my PVR-150, but whilst standard TV programs look okay, playback of fast moving programs is dreadful. (e.g. a football match). If the camera stands still, the quality is fine, but as soon as it pans, the quality is poor . The pitch looks unrealistic and the quality is slightly blurry/grainy and out of focus. It is as if the bitrate is too low. But I have tried various bitrates settings, from high VBR to CBR. none of which have improved things. A VHS recording would be much better.
It is probably time for a full clean install of XP but I am wondering should I buy a newer graphics card like a GeForce 6200. How much of a part does the graphics card have in the quality of fast moving MPEG playback? If it is primarily the CPU then I am wasting my time buying the card, if however this card coupled with the nvidia purevideo decoder would make a big difference, then it would be worth it, otherwise I shall have to use my trusty VHS recorder for sport... which makes my big black dedicated PVR machine seem like a unslightly waste of money!
