Just realized that it is the Music Player that eats all my CPU. The GBPVR.exe started by the SYSTEM uses about 30-40% CPU whithout me even starting GBPVR.exe gui. The GUI then eats another 35%...
Perhaps this is due to some database build-up, but in that case it's taking weeks, because thats how long I had this problem before. I then removed all plugins and all was well. Today I installed it again and Boom there went the CPU meter...
I now use my gbpvr to record shows and then convert them to mp4 to playback on my ipod. I run comskip and comclean then move the file to my default conversion folder. I get this all to work (then videora runs automatically and converts to mp4 ready to transfer to my ipod).
BUT, I would like the recordings to be named with the show name as well as the episode name.
Currenlty I get a name like this: Seinfeld_20051123_23300000.mpg
I would like it to appear like this: Seinfeld - The Blood.mpg
I have tried renamerecording and this, as far I as I am able to figure out, will rename the show to the episode only, so The Blood.mpg.
After renamerecording I obviously I lose the file (since %1 no longer works) and I don't know how to automatically cut and move the file to my default conversion directory. How can I also find the name of the recently renamed file and then move it?
Any help?
Here is my postproceessing.bat
comskip %1
call comclean %1
del "%~dpn1.log"
del "%~dpn1.txt"
del "%~dpn1.logo.txt"
del "%~dpn1_original.mpg"
RenameRecording %1 > RenameRecording.log
move %1 F:\Media\Video\Videora\Downloads
FYI.......the Videora\Downloads location runs Videora and converts anything dumped there to mp4 for the ipod.
Have the Music Album Plugin been updated to allow editing of the queue list?
(It states on the wiki that "The select button will bring you to an unimplemented feature that will allow you to edit the queue."
Or is it some other plugin I should be using? I want to add and delete tracks to the playlist/queue of titles that I'm currently listening to.
Maybe this is already possible in a plugin but I thought I would mention it.
A friend uses MythTv and he said he entered a WishList of the top 100 movies of all time. If they are ever on, they will be recorded. Not sure if he entered them via the gui or a flat file (xml most likely).
I assume the name would have to be wildcarded, just in case the name in the guide is slightly different.
I haven't checked out XGuide/XRecord, does it support this type of feature?
I am looking at buying a HDTV (not till after Christmas when the prices should fall haha). But I am doing some research on em now.
I was just wondering about how I can get HDTV signals to my GBPVR then to my HDTV without losing quality.
I know there are HDTV tuners out there. But I have 3 regular NTSC tuners right now and use my video card (fx 5200) tv out (svideo). If I add the HDTV tuner, I will still be able to use the other tuners, right? Are you able to change the inputs in GBPVR? Say I am watching Tuner 1 (non hdtv) and I goto a change that is hdtv, can I switch to Tuner 2 (HDTV)?
Also about the video card - can the 5200 handle hdtv singals? It has a DVI output. Will there be some quality loss there?
It seems that UK Sky TV have implemented a new viewing policy that requires the user PIN to be entered if you want to watch an 18 cert movie that starts before 10:00pm.
While I think this is an excellent idea if you have a family with young children, it gives me a major problem if I want to record something with an 18 cert if it starts before 10:00pm, as there is no way to send the PIN code via the channel changer (I use USBUIRT).
Anyone have any suggestions?
This is preventing me from recording some really cheesy (and funny) B-Movies from the Horror Channel, who always seem to start them at 9pm.
I remember some time ago there was some discussion of auto-play next. If I have multiple recordings in one folder, GBPVR auto-plays the next recording in the same folder. Is there a way to do this?
While we're on the subject, how about auto-delete, or a "watched" flag (eg. I could tell from the program listing if I've already watched a redording, or if I've partially watched a recording (could be a simple color code scheme, green haven't watched, yellow - partially watched, red - watched)?
I am in the process of rebuilding my pvr. But after reloading the os (win 2k server) and GB-pvr and .net etc. When trying to configure gb-pvr i get this message:
Microsoft.net Framework
An unhandled exception has occurred in your application.
Any ideas??? I am stumped. I tried reloadind everything??
