I'm using GBPVR to my utter satisfaction. However, my Theatrix 550 pro card captures audio (PAL-D) with volume ramped too high... I would need to reduce it by 30%... Is there any possibilty to do so (I was unable to find any volume control)?
Hi, I am new to GB-PVR but what attracted me is the MVPserver.
I run a home file server / media recorder system which I access via XP remote desktop. I have installed GBPVR and got it working with my MVP to play music and video plus the TV listing - but I cannot get it to show Live TV. I take it that it should be able to? It works fine on the PC.
My set up is 3.2G Athlon 64 1Gb / 700Gb, Hauppauge Nova-T USB2 (also ATI AIW 8500DV but I have yet to even think about dual tuners!) running WinXP Pro.
I wonder if any of you have seen this. Ever since I upgraded to 0.94.13, the green cursor of the TV Guide is hardly ever seen, rendering the guide almost useless. I mean - when I use the arrow keys, the guide moves as expected (if there are 4 programs across, then pressing right 4 times causes it to scroll, etc), but the cursor is not seen.
I have noticed that if I press down, then for some channels the green cursor did appear and if I scrolled to the right, and then went up one channel (to a channel that did not show cursor) the cursor would still be visible. But exiting to menu and then back into the guide and the cursor does not appear again.
At first I thought this was a problem in the installation, and rebuilt the capture sources from scratch. This appeared (I emphasize - appeared only) to have made things better, but I guess my checks were not very thorough.
I then found out a problem with my grabber, so I fixed it and waited 1 week for all programs to be replaced, but still no good.
I tried to empty the guide and reload programs - also no good.
I must add that I installed the VA plugin and do not use it, in fact (except that it changed the panel, and the panel shows wrong channel icons most of the time, but that's a different problem, I think).
Trust me to pick the weekend when the wikki site is down.
I have done a search of a few forums and have found no answers or suggestions to why I'm having this problem, which is:
There is something wrong with the S-video out of the MVP or there is something wrong with how my TV is dealing with the signal.
Basically there is a colour signal problem. The GBPVR screen is orange instead of blue and this is also carried through to other playback material, recorded and live feed.
Skin tones are blue.
Both GB-PVR and the MVP menu are affected thru s-video. Have tried it on each, same problem.
Have swapped in 3 different s-cables, have fed direct to TV instead of thru amp, still there.
Have updated to latest version.
Live TV thru GBPVR and Win TV on PC all fine. Thru MVP s-video out problem still there.
No option for selecting S or RCA video so no choice there.
As the problem isn't there thru the RCA video out, you can only assume it is something within the MVP unit itself that handles the S-video output that is the problem.
Or the way my 100Hz Loewe TV handles the s-video output from the MVP
I will try another monitor with S-vid on Tuesday.
What is the deal with 352x480 resolution? Is is interlaced differently or something? Because that's muuuch taller than wide, correct?
My problem is this. I have been recording my shows in low quality, and I play them and they play fine (i.e. NOT at 352x480 resolution).
However, if I try to encode them to divx/xvid, the resulting file actually comes out at 352x480...meaning it's much taller than wide, and it's "stretched". Has anyone else had this problem?
(For the time being I'm going to try recording at medium quality, which is 720x480 I believe. Hopefully that works out for me. I'll update tomorrow...)
A combination of the MCE Bliss theme, with the Royale style buttons and other eye candy.
