I am having a few issues with my setup that I can't seem to get worked out. Whether it be live TV or playback of a recording, sometimes the video will get really slow for a few seconds but the audio stays fine and then the video will go really fast and catch up. I am using the NVIDIA video decoder and VMR9.
I have a wintv 150. 2.0ghz 512mb ram nvidia 32mb video svideo out to tv.
Also, when playing back a recording, If I am watching a show and decide to forward skip through a commercial, it sometimes jumps maybe 10 mins through the show or to the end or sometimes it does it correctly and skips 20 seconds ahead. Never any consistancy with it.
I noticed that Hauppague has an add on rca input connector,
that connects to a header on the card.
What I was wondering is if I could add a security camera to that port
and capture live video using a program other than GBPVR.
My cable will be connected via the coax. When GBPVR is running
does it always have control of the card or is it just when it is actually
doing capture?
ie. Can two programs access two different ports, one at a time?
Before I splurge on a Hauppauge DVB card, I am trying to get my FlyTV Prime card to work. It's a software card and I've managed to get it to work as far as live TV. However, it will not record or timeshift. I guess this is because I'm missing a codec.
I've downloaded pretty much every codec, codec pack, mux, demux, cyberlink vcr, etc stuff and no dice.
I have lots of log files I'll zip and attach if you want all of them.
Hello, is there a way to use the Video Archive plugin to replace the 'Recordings' plugin? I dont want to mix my tv recordings with my video files and I prefer to use VA for recordings.
I have an Hauppauge 150 with cable running into using the internal tuner. Would adding an external cable box to the composite input allow me to record 2 channels at the same time? Or watch 1 and record on the other? If so how would I need to set it up? Thanks in advance for any help.
Searches in the forum came up with no answers, so here goes...
I've been using gbpvr version 0.94.13 for a couple of weeks with my new MVP, but have noticed that the livetv buffer directory maintains all of the MPG files from watching live TV, and never gets cleared, thus filling up my hard drive. I made sure to disable FFDSHOW and I routinely exit and shut off the MVP device, and the MVP server software on the video server. Is there a log file or setting which will allow me to ensure that the buffer files can be deleted after I'm done viewing live TV? All functions of the MVP seem to work fine, but I need to recover the disk space from watching live TV in order to record future shows... And yes, I made sure that the hauppauge mvp server software is not running.
My video server specs are:
Windows XP SP2
Pentium 4 3.6GHz
Hauppauge PVR150MCE
Wired 100baseT network to the MVP
This is not the problem in my previous post, I have been doing manual updates of the epg because of this problem.
Also this is not a GB-PVR problem directly. GB-PVR never gets a chance to do the update due to this problem. I just hoped since it is a suspend issue someone might have an answer.
I have my pvr computer going into s3 (suspend to ram) sleep mode and I can wake it with my mouse and everything is fine. It also wakes itself to do recordings but I haven't observed it during a wake for recording so I don't know if the screen is working or not. The recordings themselves are fine. The problem is that when it wakes itself for epg updates (1:00 pm EST) is doesn't fully wake up. I wakes and the drives spin up and you can hear activity neither monitor nor tv get a display. Then approximately 1 minute later it goes back to sleep. I checked the logs for GB-PVR and nothing happened at 1pm in any of them. I did note in the system log that the wireless network card established a connection so I don't think it is a network issue. I did read a MS KB article about waking from hibernation and going back to sleep 5 minutes later but that doesn't apply since I am not using hibernation (S4) and it is going back to sleep in about 1 minute.
If anyone wants more information about S3 sleep mode or other suspend issues you might want to check the forums at http://www.thegreenbutton.com/
I have a MVP in the living room connected to a my GBPVR computer in the basement. I'm trying to configure the system so that I can save as much energy as possible without jumping through too many hoops like running to the basement to power on the computer. Currently, I have the computer automatically shut itself off at 11PM via software and automatically turn on at 6AM (via BIOS) since I don't recording late night TV programs. TV listings are updated during the daytime. The hard drives are also powered off when the computer is not busy. Is there anything else I can do? I presume that if I turned on suspend or hibernate, the MVP would not be able to wake the computer up. Any suggestions? Thanks!
