Hi all.

I would like to know if there is or will be support on cards based on the CX23416 MPEG-2 audio/video encoder chip other than cards from Hauppauge?

I can see that the Hauppauge PVR-150MCE card is based on that chip but will a card from another manufacturer like Club 3D's ZAP TV1100 also work with GBPVR?


Thank you and regards,
Krissi

Just wanted to ask if people are having sucess with the "Very experimental - you have been warned conversion processing."

I tried a WMV overnight but couldn't find the output file nor any errors..

Hi all,

I know this has been covered before, and I've searched the forum. I was hoping maybe those who've managed to solve their problems can help me out?

When viewing LiveTV and playing my AVI files on an external monitor, I get a lot of video stuttering. This stuttering does not occur with WinTV, WMP 9, Media Player Classic, or BSPlayer.

So from what I understand, this means that my playback settings with GBPVR differ from that of say, WMP 9 and WinTV.

So my question is, what settings do WMP 9 and WinTV use? I am using VMR9 as the renderer. Does WMP9 use something else?

What about the audio decoder/renderer? In GBPVR, I set them as Default. Does WMP9 use something else?


Thanks

I have made some substantial changes to the heuristics of Comskip.
This can lead to terrible results.

If you would like to try and feedback the results you can download from
http://mk.kaashoek.com/gbpvr/comskip78beta.zip

As a bonus this version will, after editing of the cutpoints, not only write the new txt file but all available and selected output formats (and yes, there may be errors in this new code but otherwise it would not be a beta, yes?)

The most important tunable parameter is
min_show_segment_length=60
This is a conservatie setting and may lead to long commercials being regarded as show.
A more agressive setting is
min_show_segment_length=120
or any value in between.

Give it a try and feedback what you prefer.
My test files seem to disagree on the best value.

Hi,
Is it possible to invoke the GBPVR gui using the Hauppauge remote?
I sometimes work on my PC that runs gbpvr and forget to enable the gui when I'm done. I only discover this when I return to the room that my TV is in and I have to run back to my PC to start the gui. It would be great if I could press a button on the remote and have the gui appear!
Thx,
JC

When my computer and the gbpvr recording service has been up and running for a couple of days (maybe weeks), all recordings suddenly end up zero bytes long.

The recording service says it's recording, but no file is written to disk until after the recording stops, and then it's zero bytes.

I have a Hauppauge PVR USB2. Anyone else seen this behavior?

I have a PVR-350 and a nova-t usb2.

gbpvr is set to remux the dvr-ms files to mpeg ASAP.

When an analogue recording has finished, Postprocessing.bat is run correctly.
My problem is that when a DVB recording has finished, gbpvr runs Postprocessing.bat on the dvr-ms file AND then runs Postconversion.bat on the transcoded mpeg file.

Both bat files are set to do the same thing, namely:

if "%2"=="1" goto :eof
if "%2"=="2" goto :eof

comskip %1 >> comskip.log
:eof
RenameRecording.exe %1
rectracker %1

----

I think that this setup is causing of some of my dvr.ms files to not be deleted after being remuxed to mpeg. (as the comskip started by postprocessing is stil running on the dvr-ms file).

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can tweak these bat files so that they only run the commands once for both recording types?

I guess (as a dirty hack) I could say "If the file extension is dvr-ms" goto eof" in postprocessing.bat but I am not sure how to do this.

cheers

I am having problems forward skipping after I pause a show. After I play the show and want to forward skip through commercials it will play in like 10x speed and will not stop till it catches up...hitting play wont stop it. It really only does it after I pause it for 10-15 mins. or longer. It works fine after pausing it for just a minute or so. Anyone have any ideas??
Thanks.

I'm using the MyVideos plugin to view mpegs created from my DVDs. I would like to change a couple of poster images used by MyVideos. Looking at the MyDatabase.mdb file, I see where it's stored (VideoInfo table-->Poster field), but I'm not certain how to replace the image. Thanks for your help.

I thought I'd revive this topic of using the Xbox Media Center (XBMC) as a frontend for GB-PVR (rather than perhaps MediaMVP).

I was recently searching the forums at MediaPortal when I came upon a user who was able to create a python script and dll to control MediaPortal through XBMC. (http://home.iprimus.com.au/miarose/)

(Forum URL: http://nolanparty.com/mediaportal.source...4&start=0&)

Anyway, it was quite fascinating and allowed the scheduling of recordings, etc.

I am not at all skilled in programming using python, but I thought I would put this out there to see if anyone may want to take up this challenge.

This would definitely be a sweet feature if someone could do it!
