I have:
Asus Pundit
P4 2.0 Ghz
512 MB RAM
PVR-500
PCI FX5500
Due to the crap onboard video on the pundit I decided to give buying a PCI video card a try. Unfortunetly the pundit has a single PCI slot with a riser card that makes it 2 PCI slots. I'm pretty sure this is a problem.
With the pvr and the video using all the PCI bus even watching TV alone causes stuttering. (not to mention recording and watching at the same time). This is all using VMR 7 & 9. Using overlay works perfect (i'm pretty sure this is becasue the video is dumped right to the video ram)
I dont want to use overlay due to the fact that you cant adjust the aspect ratio while watching videos (In TV i dont care).
Switching decoders has no effect.
Anyone seen a problem like this before?
It would be great if there where a setting so that I could tell the system to use Overlay for TV and VMR for everything else.
hi there, sorry posted on wrong area earlier today.
I was using the latest pre-release at the time (1 twinhan and 1 compro t300 working pretty well).
running with two twinhan cards is buggy still. card one (Device 1) picks up no channels. card two (device 2) picks up channels and picture. It seems to pick up channels twice (e.g. BBC One, BBC One (2) etc) for quite a few channels. There are errors in the log about being unable to build the graph.
The tv icons in gbpvr won't display in the tv guide. Could this be happening because i am using zap2it instead of the other tv guide importing plugins?
This is a good program that kicks set-top dvd recorders and DVRs (tivo replay) in the glutes. My younger brothers state that my computer is the equivalent to a theater all thanks to this exceedingly splendid program. They now that a "piece of junk" Video Cassette Recorder or pretty much anything else will never be a match for this program .
I'm using o2grabber for getting xml program data and it has been working fine so far. I tried to use the channel names for "channel id" in the actual file and GBPVR won't import and gives the error:
Failure in channelfactory::Storechannels(): field is too small to accept the amount of data you were trying to add.
Longest ID is 15 characters. Is there a quick fix for this?
If I try and watch a divx etc in gb, the remote stops working. (ff,rew, back/exit,pause etc) However the volume control works. If I trigger the osd with the mouse and do an action, ff, paause etc, the remote will work from then on!
CC
Done all the restart ir, set higher pri in task manager, Fix 45 b remote etc.
Currently the >>| button jumps one minute forward when playing movies, but I'd like for it to jump to the next file. Is this possible?
It would be fine if it only happened when using the remote, but then what command do I have to put in the irremote.ini file?
Anyone else experiencing this - wheneven I FFWD when watching a recording (or timeslip) I lose the Read Audio and only get audio from the front speakers. Its never been a huge drama as I only tend to FFWD by accident - I Always use Skip. FFWD can be handy occaissionally tho so its a little annoying.
Sub - You snuck in apparent (test?) support for the MAUI-III PAL card in the new release without any (that I've seen) announcement. Would setting up a section in direct.ini for the NTSC version be a big deal? I know you got a PAL one from the folks at Lumanate and probably not the NTSC version. Any tips before I do my bull in a china shop attempt at a NTSC section.
What version of the MAUI-III drivers are you working with?
I just purchased a generic PCI TV Tuner from CompUSA (SKU: 333088).
It claims to be a Conexant 23880 chipset which I have read is the same chip that is used in the Hauppauge line of cards. I noticed that a lot of the Hauppauge cards (WinTV line) are in the default compatibility list.
Does GB-PVR support this card? Can I choose one of the Hauppauge cards to get it to work? I have VirtualDUB working just fine with it, and it comes with a piece of software called WinTV3 (which I'm already not impressed with).
If anyone who knows the chips and what GB-PVR means when a card is in the list of compatible cards, would you please give me a hand.
