I was wondering if there is a way to have the current MP3 files playing from Music Library (the one installed with GBPVR) to show on the main menu screen so I know what's playing. Thanks!
I'm in UK and have built a DTT recorder using Nova-T USB. We are getting some new channels (ITV4 for one). I've added it manually and downloaded a logo and added an entry in bleb channels - so I have the correct logo, but how do I sort the channel order to make it appear where I want it?
Is there some way of when exiting from the screen saver that it will return to where it was when the screen saver started, and not always force it back to the main menu?
Also, I think on a related note:
When you are watching a show and you dont hit any keys on the remote, as soon as the recording finishes, the system thinks that the screen saver should be activated. The screen saver comes on. When you press any key on the remote, it kicks you back to the main menu, and not to the recording menu for the last show you were watching.
If you do happen to press a key while the recording is playing and the show ends, it stays where it should.
I am tring to figure out why, when playing a recording, and you fast-forward a bit, the recording will act as if it reached the end.
Let me explain more.
Lets say I am watching a 30 minute recording. and at 26 minutes into the recording there is a commerical, *but* comskip missed it, and I fast-forward one time (60 seconds), the recording will end. Just as if it reached the end and exited. I know there was at least 4 minutes, minus the 1 minute from the ff, left in the show, but gb-pvr thought it reached the end.
I deleted the comskip files from the directory and tried again. Same thing. This happens on most, but not all recordings. Also, if I dont skip ahead near the end of a recording, it plays fine. Could there be a problem between where gb-pvr thinks the end is, and where it actually is?
I have a PVR 150 with GBPVR, current version. Whether I am in Live TV mode or Playback mode, any movement of the cursor on the screen displays a menu for Pause, forward, backward, and a progress "bar" at the top.
On a new PVR 500 in a second computer, (running current version of GBPVR) no movement or clicking of the screen brings up that "menu". Sometimes the keyboard shortcut for Pause or jump forward, etc., does not work either.
I changed to and from Window mode and there was no change. The cursor moves, I can run other Windows programs, it is just the GBPVR menu that I am missing in playback mode.
I searched the Forum here but perhaps I do not know what to search for as I did not find anything on this issue.
Having been a member of this group for a couple of weeks i'm still a bit confused as to what kit I need to set up a GBPVR system.
My situation is that I am in the UK and currently get my TV via Freeview which I run via a Humax PVR/set top box into my TV via a scart lead.
I've got a 1 year old PC running a 2500+ AMD Athlon processor in my lounge and have just ordered a dual dvi head graphics card which should allow me to connect bioth my LCD TV and my PC's monitor to my PC.
What I want to achieve is better picture quality on my LCD TV combined with a capability of both watching and recording digital TV at the same time.
From what I can gather on this forum, the Hauppage 150 PVR cards seem the most preferred soluition, but these are analogue cards. As far as I can see I need a digital card but I have also gathered that you get a much better picture with a hardware based rather than software based decoder. As far as I can see, most of the digital cards which are compatible with GBPVR offer software based decoding.
So what is the best/most reasonably priced hardware based digital card i can buy??
Sorry for the newbie ness of the question, but any heklp gratefully received.
I would greatly appreciate if somebody could tell me how to adjust the contrast and brightness setting of my two PVRs: a WINTV-PVR150 and a Sapphire Theatrix.
Lets say I have a non-MCE PVR-150 and a PVR-500 in my GB-PVR system and a MediaMVP.
How would this work if I had a STB either digital cable or satellite? Would each tuner need a STB and an IR blaster? How would each tuner get the channel it needs?
I am guessing I would really need 3 non-MCE 150's each with it's own IR blaster and 3 STB'S and not a 500.
Could you please clear that up for me? It's the last thing I need to get a good understanding of before I move forward with my expansion plans.
I currently have a PVR-150 (non-MCE) card and i want to add another tuner (or two). I've read somewhere that there is a card that DOES NOT have the hardware encoding and that it relies on the system CPU to do all the work. Which card is that so I can avoid it? I was thinking about another 150 or 500 but if I find a good deal on any of the other PVR cards I might grab one of them. Was it the 350 card that does not have the H/W encoding?
I have been having problems whereby gbpvr wasn't flashing my cable box. I had just installed the latest release of gbpvr. Thinking it was a bug went back to the previous version and deleted the entire directory of all config files etc. saving only the file with the remote codes for my cable box
Re-installed and reconfigured the program. However the USB-UIRT still won't send the flashes to the device. Thinking that I might have a corrupt config file, tried relearning the remote. I get to the point where I click New and wait for the prompt to press the 1 button. However while the prompt appears, it doesn't wait for me to press the 1 button, goes to the press the 2 button prompt, etc and all the way to 0 and OK and then prompts me to name the config file. I have tried removing the USB-UIRT and putting it back, restarting gbpvr and even shutting down and restarting the program but it still won't learn now
