None of these four display anything for me, only name and channel actually list anything. I saw something about adding "zaptools" followed by login and password to the postupdateEPG, but it didn't do anything for me. Anyway I don't get why it would have channels and show titles but not the rest. Help! Cause this thing'll be awesome if I can get it working.
I just ran into mvpmc (http://mvpmc.sourceforge.net/) and it adds AC3 support to the mediamvp. I looked through the forums and I haven't seen any solid information on GBPVR support for mvpmc.
Can GBPVR work with mvpmc? Will mvpmc support be added in the future?
I have been using GBPVR for about a month, I have also tried the demo's of SageTV and BeyondTV, liked the interface of BeyondTV and the features of SageTV. I also have a MediaMVP which I am attempting to use to its capacity.
What I think all these programs need is a better PC interface, seem to spend so much time trying to emulate the Media Center that they don't take advantage of the PC. Think outside the box and take full advantage of the interface options available.
Not saying do away with the existing interface, but let it still retain capabilities of the platform it is operating from.
Right click options, I like being able to right click and get options, I am conditioned to the windows interface as that being an option.
I use the program, alot for watching TV while I surf the internet, as my son is playing video games, I keep it up in the corner, and have it set to stay on top and watch TV while I am surfing. Features I would love to have is option to channel surf without replacing the show I am watching, and a last option to let me easily go back between two different channels.
I am sure once we step outside the Media Center PC box, many other things could be added.
Much easier way to mask out channels I don't watch, whole process now seems very buggy, sometimes working othertimes not to the point that I now have it load all the channels rather than try to clean it up.
Why not take advantage of all the ways you can interact with media and have them on the program. Right now for alot of things I have less control than I would if had a nice remote, favorites, button press macro's.
Winamp like features for playing songs, playlists, multiple views etc.
Not taking away anything from the program, but thinking I will be deciding on SageTV even though I think this program has more inate potential. I think the real focus should be innovation on the interface and making it easier to use and setup. I think that is all that is keeping this from being equal to its commercial competitors, the polish and ease of use to let an average use and succeed with it.
Whenever I try to pause tv, the "Switching to Timeshifting mode" black screen comes up, but it just hangs there. I have to use ctrl-alt-del and shutdown the gbpvr. The Gbpvr recording tray icon shows that it is recording whatever channel I was on, and then I have to restart it too, to stop the recording. I found a similar issue in the forum, but there was no resolution posted. Sub had asked the person post their logs, so I zipped up mine, and they are attached below.
Hi,
I use a Tv walker ultra to record shows in DivX.
Playback of the files is ugly, it's smooth but the colors don't overlap. When I use graphedit and open / playback the recording, everything looks much better. The decoder graphedit uses is ffdshow. Am I correct if I say that gbpvr playback probably uses the divx decoder? How can I change this? And if it is something completely else, how can I improve things?
I'm having problems getting episode information... Right now I've got this setup: a Virtual Root called "Star Trek: The Next Generation" that points to a directory that has "Season 1", "Season 2", etc. The files are named, for instance, as:
"Star Trek TNG - 1x05 - The Last Outpost.avi"
When I try to find info, I get nothing. I replaced "Star Trek TNG" to "Star Trek The Next Generation", and then I got a very weird info page that was blank, and had the following header:
"Star Trek The Next Generation 1x05 The Last Outpost" site:imdb.com - Google Search
Looks like the plugin is using google to lookup at imdb.. shouldnt it be TV.com or something; I must be doing something wrong?
Everything works within DVICO SW and I have all the proper channel information populating, but I cant get the system to play. I've downloaded GraphEdit and the BDA drivers seem to be loaded properly.
PC specs:
2.6 MHZ P4 with 512 GB RAM, 1 160 GB IDE, 2 320 SATA, Win XP (updated with all SPs), 1 PVR 250, 1 PVR 500CE, 1 Fushion Lite, 6600 NVidia, 50in Panny Plasma.
I'm on the latest release of GB-PVR with everything working like a charm. I've included my logs and some screenshots that I hope will help.
For some reason I'm not able to use the fast forward, reverse or skip buttons while using the MVP. All the other buttons work fine. I've tried different skins and the same thing happens. I know I've heard about this before but doing a search didn't find what I thought.
MPV works fine otherwise. Anyone know what it might be?
Add prioritize option when scheduling a new recording so that some auto conflict handling can be make. Eg. i always want to record Pilot Guides so i set this to a high priority. If another lower priority recording conflicts, then this will automatically be canceled. Would be great
