After setting gb-pvr to the right card hauppauge 250pvr.

the audio is in sync in recording play back but on live tv its out of sync.
with tv played thru hauppauge win2000 its good. any ideas. plus is it possible to set gb-pvr to receive a composite signal from my digi cable box as well as the cable signal. on hauppauge win2000 i set the composite input on add channel. thx::confused: new user

Is it possible to reverse the order that recordings are shown in? They are shown oldest first, but it would be more useful if they were shown newest first, especially if you record a large number of episodes.

We had a bit of a discussion about NICAM, where Sub offered the ability to set the audio channel as follows:

Hi,

I've just bought and AVerMedia Hybrid and I'm having trouble getting GB-PVR to recognise it. From reading these forums I gather that it probably has a BDA compatible driver and I should be able to add and entry to the BDA.INI file to get it working. I tried copying and pasting the entry from the only other AVerMedia card in the original BDA.INI. I then modified it by giving it a friendly name in the first line, then typing in the exact name as it appears in Device Manager on the second line including the code in brackets at the end. But it doesn't work.

I can't find anywhere in the doco on the WIKI that shows how to do this, so I would appreciate some help.

1: How do I determine if the driver for my card is BDA compliant?
2: How do I ass the entry to the BDA.INI to get it working.

PS

The card is definitely **functional** because it works with the native SW.

I am running Windows XP SP2, .NET FX 1.1 SP1 and the latest Tuner card drivers from AVerMedia.

PLEASE NOTE - I've removed the download link. There is more work needed to cope with different XMLTV file versions. I'll post a new version in a new thread in the next few days. Thanks to those who have tested it so far.

My Palm Vx finally died and I'm going to buy a Palm TX to replace it. I've noticed that there's some software available to turn the Palm into a remote and wondering if anybody has done this. Looking to control the MediaMVP, Sony TV's, Sony DVD players, and Sony camera through it's docking station. Any info will be appreciated!

I captured a two hour movie with a PVR150, used SA to remove the commercials and imported it into Sony's DVD Architect Studio 2.0. I burned the DVD but the audio went out of sync more and more as the movie progressed.

I had to reduce the bitrate to 3.5 mbps to get it to fit. Don't know is this is the issue. Anyone know what I need to do to correct this?

What's the easiest way to play real video files in gbpvr? Is there a way to transcode these to another format? Thanks...

Hi all,

I'm using VLC to 'transcode' a DVD to a mpeg stream so that I can see them using my MVP's. To do this I'm using this small batch file I made, inspired by the XDVD plugin:
---

@echo off

:: usage: dodvd name dvddrive: subtrack title
:: name = name of the video, one_word.
:: dvddrive: usually drive D:
:: subtrack: nr. of the subtitle track, usually one less than what the player tells you (so track 1 become track 0)
:: title: at what title do you want to start the segment, for example: 4 if you want to skip the first two segments with commercial crap.

:: example: dodvd Farscape_the_piecekeeper_wars_part2 e: 3 4

set dirname=\\voo-server4\video\
set dump=%dirname%%1\%1.mpg
mkdir %dirname%%1
echo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
echo Saving video in: %dump%
echo Options: name: %1 drive: %2 subtrack: %3 title: %4
echo Transcoding %1...
%systemdrive%\Progra~1\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe dvdsimple://%2@%4 ub-track=%3 out=#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=3072,scale=1,acodec=mp2a,ab=128,channels=2,soverlay}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ps,url=%dump%"}} out-all

echo done.

This seems to give me very nice mpeg2 files that appear to work quite nicely, there's just one problem that keeps bugging me: when playing the mpeg files back over the MVP's and 'fastforwarding' or 'skipping', the output just skips miles ahead. Even skipping 'back' is going forward! Itls like the time code in the mpeg files generated by VLC is not correct or something like that. I don't know enough about VLC to understand what could be changed to improve this.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be going on and what to try to get this skipping back on track?

I mentioned this in the middle of another topic a while ago, but have done a bit more checking and thought I should re-post it.

Basically I have finally got around to properly skinning XGuide for the FBHV skin (after some friendly reminders and some help from BobAtTorrey ) and I have got everything pretty much as I'd like except that I can't seem to change a couple of the colours in the guide - ie. I change the settings in the appropriate skin, but no change occurs.

I have no problem with the two vertical skins (skin-vert-inline.xml and skin-vert-bottom.xml), but in the main schedule skin (ie the one that most closely resembles the standard guide, skin name: skin-horiz.xml) I can't seem to change the default background colour from black - ie. no matter what I set the NamedColor "NormalListing" to in skin-horiz.xml, it only results in a black background, and I think I have the same problem with the NamedColor "ListingSurround" - see attached picture if this isn't clear.

I have looked through all the xml files available in the skin directory, and can't see any other place to change this colour (eg changing the values of the NamedColors in skin-guides.xml or skin-schedule.xml don't have any effect) - any ideas?

cheers,

tieke
