I'd like to burn some of the stuff I record onto DVDs that will play in a normal DVD player. Anyone have any advice on some good DVD authoring tools? I don't particularly want to automate from inside GB-PVR, just be able to easily set up a DVD and burn it. Something with a drag-and-drop interface preferably. Doesn't have to be fancy. I've played with DVDAuthor a little and it works OK but isn't all that easy to use. I also ran across this one: http://www.vso-software.fr/products/conv...to_dvd.php
that seems to work pretty well. There are scads of them out there, just wondering if anyone here has any favorites (or ones to avoid).
Just noticed, whenever I run GBPVR config and make a change, my language.xml file is erased. I have attached the most recent config logs.
I am using GBPVR 96.8.
I have started and stopped several skin designs, and for the most part I use either the same background, or a slightly modified one for plugin backgrounds.
I have started a new skin project I call for now: Chameleon.
(I will more publicly announce when I get more fleshed out) that will benefit from that organizational method. To explain it without images. Take the "Blue" background with a few color variants. You could use those same backgrounds for plugins, or use solid colors, or ect..
I plan on contacting most of the major skinners and asking for approval to include their backgrounds, buttons, ect. in a preview, and maybe include them in distribution. Sounds ambitious for someone that is short on talent I know.
What I am going to try to do is start with my take on "Blue" and be able to end up with my take on "ContourHC" or "Collection" ect. I see it as a vehicle to blend all these great skins into one.
I am a relative newbie in this skinning system.
I know the plugins will not be able to reflect the various skins out there other than background and buttons, but that is all I am after.
I am not out to copy or clone any one skin. I just thought it would be cool to adapt to utilize the images of these other skins for the overall feel. This will greatly show off the Apperance Manager's abilities.
I will also be using MixMan's AdVisor and SharperEdge skin as a guide.
Here are some of my goals:
1. Larger font sizes in general (some users prefer).
2. Appearance Manager plugin compatible (Image based buttons, background naming convetions).
3. Longer buttons to accept longer character strings for various languages.
4. To be neutral enough to work with many skin backgrounds.
I am open to any suggestions.
Next post will be an image preview.
p.s. Thanks to Old Dog and MixMan for assistance with everything they have provided for me so far.
Hi all, i am having a bit of trouble with myvideos, the icons and buttons load fine but when i double click on a mpeg or wmv file ( thats all i have) an error pops up saying Error: Colum 'YearOfRelease' does not belong to table VideoInfo.
I'm using a USB-UIRT and Girder to receive my remote commands and to "blast" the IR commands for the DISH receiver. Because of my setup I've not had to use an additional IR transmitter between the USB-UIRT and the receiver, the layout of equipment and the room has been sufficient for the DISH receiver to "see" the IR sent from the USB-UIRT.
When running in TS mode I've noticed that in almost every case when the USB-UIRT sends the channel command the DISH receiver "misses" part of it. For example if it's switching to channel 135 the receiver on-screen display will show "35" or "13" which causes the receiver to go to the "info" channel, channel "101". Watching the LED on the USB-UIRT clearly sent three digits but the receiver didn't get them. And because GBPVR thinks it set the channel to 135 you can't simply re-enter the channel number.
The strange this is that this does not happen when GB is in Preview mode and I don't recall that the DISH receiver has ever failed to switch channels every time. It looks as if there is some kind of timing problem when TS mode is enabled that causes the channel data to be 'truncated' or damaged in some manner.
I've just noticed this in trying to run in TS mode as my normal mode now that the "30 second glitch" is dealt with in the latest GB release. I can't say for sure that it would not have happened in previous GB releases because the "glitch" kept me from using TS mode as my normal mode.
I'm curious if anyone else has seen anything like this and has any thought on fixing it. I don't see this as a GB problem but rather something in the timing relationship between GB and UIRT for IR transmit.
it looks like the adaptec videooh pci 2410 capture card is supported when i installed gbpvr - it is one of the choices on the pull down menu for devices,
but i keep getting an error when i use the live tv option. I was wondering if there is a specific setup someone used to get this card to work or if it is indeed not supported.
Here's the problem: After installing 96.8 I can no longer access EWA from anywhere but the local machine and all 3 MVP's are stuck at "Contacting MediaMVP Server". Since the only way we use GBPVR is through the MVP's this is a big problem!
96.8 appears to to fine on the machine it is installed on. Recordings are being made, GBPVR, Config & EWA are all working. The new look and features are great! I just can't access it anywhere else!
Before installing 96.8 I had 95.16 running almost perfectly (small problems with skip caused by the Time Stamp issue). All 3 MVP's connected and worked properly. Enhanced Web Admin worked from the local machine, other machines on my LAN and from my work computer accross the internet. Once I install 98.6 the MVP's fails to connect and EWA is only accessable from the local machine. I can uninstall 96.8 and re-install 95.16 and everything starts working again (I always re-boot after installs and uninstalls). I triple checked firewall and router settings and they are not changing. The problem appears exactly like the server has been ffirewalled but since installing the previous version clears it up I think we can rule out the firewall. I also verified in Config that EWA is enabled on the default port and the username password are correct and also that 3 MVP servers are being started. Using task manager I have verified the 3 MVP Servers are indeed running.
I have repeated the install/uninstall several times with the exact same results, 95.16 works and 96.8 fails.
I have run out of ideas. Can anyone suggest where to look or what I can try? I would really like to get 98.6 running...
