I have a new MVP that is giving me fits. My GBPVR machine is in the basement wired into a 4port wireless router. My MVP is also wired to the router. I cannot get past the "connecting to server" screen.
This is what I know:
DCHP is turned on for my router and is handing out IP addys to my GBPVR machine as well as a wireless laptop connection.
Firewall is currently disabled.
I am able to get the MVP to connect to the Hauppage software, but not to GBPVR when I stop the hauppage software.
I have set the # or servers to autostart to 1 in GBPVR config.
GBPVR MVP server is running.
I know I'm getting sick of running up and down the stairs so much.
I also know that my wife is pissed cause she can't watch the episode of Desperate Housewives I recorded for her (I swear its for her!!).
I got GBPVR to work once yesterday (and it worked really well), but I don't know how I did it. Then when I went into GBPVR config to tweak some settings (only autoskip feature and MVP Screen Position) it wouldn't reconnect tonight. Please help. I'm sure its something dumb. I'm not a huge networking guru or anything so if you could use small words it would probably help. Thanks
Does anyone have a clever way that they sync their main GBPVR installation with a secondary computer such as a laptop? I know there is no gbpvr functionality that provides this as of the present.
I was thinking of using a program like syncback to copy over files (including the gbpvr program folders and a transcoded recordings directory) to my notebook on a regular basis. If anyone has a working setup I'd be curious as to how you do it.
I think I'd be great if there was some module that could be added which would permit scheduled backup to a notebook or other portable device in a transcoded format. I think the same technique could also probably be used to move properly transcoded files to a video iPod, although I do not have one.
I'm trying to put my movie library on my hard drive. I ripped a DVD and set my directory. I can go to the directory and it shows moviename.dvd. Click on that and the DVD menu comes up. The movie plays but no sound. I ripped a music DVD and all the songs show up and songname.vob. Again no sound. Common thing? VOB. How can I get sound from a VOB file? My MPG's and MP3's Play fine.
Okay maybe not totally fine. The MP3 are quieter than the MPG's. Is there an equalizer or something for that?
When hitting Archieve, it would be cool if they stayed listed in Ready. That way my wife can find them, and doesn't think I'm just kicking her shows to the dump drive (or, I should say, figures out I cam).
When I am a long time into watching a long recording, Skip forward & backward exhibit very long delays before taking an action. The skip backward problem seems much more pronounced than skip forward. Example:
After having watched 1:30 hours into a 3-hour move, the skip backward button seems to have no effect when pressed. Then, perhaps 30-45 seconds later, the skip backward happens. Sometimes it seems not to function at all. (There seem to also be problems with skip forward under these circumstances, but I don't recall it's being as severe as with skip backward.) Also, I'm not certain but it may be that this problem only gets bad or substantially worse after skip backward has been used a few times.
Initially I was afraid that perhaps skip backward was implemented by reading forward from the beginning of the file to get to the sought time period. So I tried viewing a long recording, and then immediately after starting to watch it doing three 30-skip-forward's, thereby quickly putting myself 90 minutes into the recording. However, when I then do several skip backwards, they respond essentially immediately. So, this problem seems to have something to do with how long the recording has been watched.
I'm running 94.13, and play back through an MVP.
