i have a wintv pvr 150 and finally (with HUGE and i mean HUGE help from sub-THX alot ) i got my HTPC working perfectly. the only problem know is that whenver i open gb pvr , the channels start blurry and
black and white and it takes 5-8 seconds until the chanells are tuned
properly. after that it works well sometimes and sometimes stays very blurry and not sharp at all. when i close the program and restart it then the whole tuning proccess starts again. has anyone come across this?
thx to everyone for their help and to developers of this awesome program!!
I found that unless I used the highest quality settings, my shows were too dark when played on my MVP. Since I have recently found how to adjust the brightness, I would like to lower all my recordings quality. Is there any way to make everything record in medium quality, no matter what I originally set it for?
TIA, I would rather not have to go through and change each reoccuring program manually. Thanks
Whenever you do a season record, it has the option 'keep recordings', and you can select a number, or 'all'. My question is, if you select a number (let's say 5), what does gbpvr do once you have 5 recordings of that show, does it stop scheduling new ones, or does it record new ones and overwrite the old ones? Sub....if it doesn't allow you to start overwriting the oldest file with a newer one whenever you have a limit set, do you plan to add this feature as it would be very useful?
I'm running 95.16 and it seems that since this version (could be a coincidence) all new recordings have a static like popping sound that varies throughout the recording. I am fairly positive is is happening on recording, not on playback. I hear it locally, or via MVP or even via ORB. I hear it when doing Live TV locally, even if I unplug the sound cable from my cable box, so it is not coming down with the show.
I do not hear it when using WinTV2000 for live or recorded TV.
Would any codecs come in to play when recording? I though that GBPVR just records the mpeg stream that the card captures/creates.
I always listen to music in random mode. It would be great if MyMusic could have a 'random over whole libary' mode. Kinda like iTunes's 'party shuffle' and MusicPlayer2's random feature.
I have the nova-t pci and am having trouble with the live tv video being out of sync with the audio. Sometimes ahead sometimes behind. It has been happening for definate with 9514 and 9516 not sure about before that. Seems to happen when I used processor hungry apps at the same time as watching live tv.
If I exit to the menu and then go back to tv as you would expect it is back to normal but will fall out of sync again.
Is there anyway to make gbpvr drop frames to keep the video in sync? Or is there another way of doing it?
I am using the nVidia Purevideo codecs which claim to be the best and lowest cpu usage but its still happening.
Since my PC under my TV runs alot of things for me. It cannot decode DVD smoothly. I am therefore considering buying an Xcard to help a lit in the re-play so I do not have to siwtch applications off before wathcing a DVD.
However, will GBPVR has OSD if I replay using Xcard. I am going to use VGA output from Xcard. From what I have seen, it looks like the OSD are broken in GBPVR when replay DVD using Xcard.
