First off, I absolutely love the XRecord suite, it's truly a wonder, but I had a question, and unforutunately I don't think it's something that is a function right now... I'll use 1 episode as an example.

Recently I recorded the PTV episode of Family Guy [which IMO was absolutely histerical] but it was rainy outside and I got a bad capture. I would like to re-record it in the upcoming re-runs, but I believe it's in the rectracker database and won't. I think it would be an awesome feature to specify in whatever component that duplicates should be determined by what is actually in the TV folder on the hard drive.

i.e. my TV directory is C:\TV . If I move PTV.mpg from c:\TV\Family Guy to my desktop, XRecord should realize that it is not there and re-record it, that way I have my old copy until the new one records. Basically, check the existing files for their ID numbers in whatever database and use those to determine duplicates. I think this would be a nice additional feature that could be specified per-show (i.e. in priorityrecordings.xml.) For instance, I'm trying to collect all Family Guy episodes and some don't record in as high quality as others (differing channels and whatnot) and I would like to delete and re-record all Family Guys that I don't have in the Family Guy folder, but when it comes to shows like The Simpsons, I just want to record the ones I haven't seen, watch em and delete em, which is what the plugin does wonderfully right now [and I don't want that to change.] Is there a way for me to do this, or is it a possibly implementable feature in the future? Thanks in advance for any help. I'm not sure what logs and whatnot could be of help if there is something that can be done right off the bat, otherwise I'd post some. Thanks.

Aight I have a monitar and tv hooked up to the pvr.....is there anyway to....

have a tv show going fullscreen on the tv.....and be able to do other things on the monitor at the same time......

so like duel display type thing....

I can only store/show 8 FM radion stations, even though I have found and kept about 50 stations via the scanning feature - is this per design, or is there something wrong with my setup?

I started transcoding to Xvid a few days ago (after I found the regsvr32 lame.ax trick in one of the other posts which solved my sound problem).

Now the AVI files play fine but when starting the third file GBPVR exits (-1 logs) it does this systematically. Also when and AVI was played GBPVR will exit when an MPEG is played (zero logs).:confused:

Just playing MPEG works absolutely without a hich-up.

There is one thing I noticed when checking with graphedit: the DivX decoder is used to play the XviD files (i think this does not matter however).

Please allow a question from a totally newbee into Comskip?

Is it possible to have Comskip marking commercial parts based only on logo detection?
At my favorite channel, there is always a steady logo during the show and never a logo during commercials.
It seems from the log file that I am detecting the parts with logo's correctly but I have only a com part in the beginning and in the very end - nothing in between.
So is it possible to remove all the other fancy detection methods and using only logo detecttion ?

Any help will be appriciated:

Hi,

Due to inconsistency in my EPG content from time to time I am considering going to the manual recording approach. However I haven't seen a way to name the manual recordings, which is a big downside when you're reviewing your recordings afterwards.

Is there a way to name your manual recording (especially the recurring ones).

Thanks

Hi,

Do you have any recommendations on DVB-T cards ?
Can you tell your personal reviews on the card you are using ?

Someone told me that the Nebula digiTV is one of the best, but the price is so high. At the moment I noticed that there are many cards around for £40-£55.

For example:
Nova-T PCI from PCWorld for £39.99
Compro VideoMate DVB200 also about £40.
DVB-T USB Stick for £45 (AFAIK, it can't be used with GBPVR)
Nova-T USB2 from PCWorld for £59.99
....

Any recommendation?

Thanks!!!

Hi Sub,

Just recently got a Sony Ericsson K750i cellphone with 1GB memory stick pro duo. I am using a freeware called Super Simplified Universal Player Encoder & Renderer to convert the mpg recordings to .3gp 174x144 mobile format. I then upload the 3gp tv recordings to the cellphone and watch it whenever I have time to catch up.

My wish is to have a build-in (or some sort) 3GP post-processing feature, so every morning I would just have to upload (auto copy to specified folders would be even better) the clips to the memory stick.

If anyone knows command line 3GP converters and scripts, please share.

Thank you for such a wonderful software!!!!!!!!!

So I am a bit perplexed and not really sure what is going on. Recently my PVR has just stopped recording shows that I have asked it too. I would set the reoccurrence to record but no instances of it will show in the pending category. I at one time set the “do not record duplicates” setting and I thought it may be my problem after reading other posts but I checked and it is not checked currently. Even on some shows it will record some but then for some reason not record the next week. I thought they were just repeats and it didn’t record by my mom has a Comcast PVR and it recorded them for her.

I looked at my version number today and it was 94.8 and I read there were some problems so I upgraded to 94.13 hoping that would fix the problem. None of the recordings would reappear. One in particular is the World Poker Tour. So what I did was remove all of my reoccurrences and start over. I first checked after removal to make sure I had no pending and they were clear. I then went in and set my EMP to go 14 days in advance and pulled the information from Zap2It. Then I set up each occurrence and when I was done I checked to see if the pending were there.

SUCCESS!!

All of the programs I setup were scheduled to record.

World Poker Tour
Survivor
Lost
My Name is Earl
Biggest loser
Iron Chef America
The Office

And a couple more that are slipping my mind as I type

So they are all there and set to record and there were 3 WPT”s to record today alone. I was happy until I came home from shopping and went to watch a WPT and there was nothing there. There was nothing new to watch and when going into pending half of all the shows now did not show up. None of the WPT’s were even available. I looked at the guide and one was starting in 5 minutes and I did a record on it and it wouldn’t even record.

This is very frustrating.

The “do not record duplicates” is not checked but I am thinking that maybe it thinks it is or something.

My system is an XP system with all updates

2 capture cards… Hauppauge 150 and 350

Any thoughts would be appreciated
