GB-PVR is working great for most of my AVI files etc (fantastic, no more trancoding & burning to DVD)!!
The NerdTv (http://www.pbs.org/cringely/nerdtv/) video interviews however (*.mp4, e.g. ntvjuicy001.mp4) don't have any sound when I play them back in gbpvr. If I open them in QuickTime they do have sound. Try one of the "juicy bits" extracts from one of the interview for example (e.g. Andy Hertzfeld - The first Macintosh Programmer http://www.pbs.org/cringely/nerdtv/playe...mer...ever)
Any ideas? (is it back to mucking around with different decoders? or were the gbpvr config program decoder selection only for MPEG2 decoding). In this case I guess what I don't understand is how gbpvr targets the appropriate MPEG4 decoder, and how to adjust this? (e.g. if I could somehow select the same one that quicktime uses perhaps)
In Search Guide it is not possible to see shows which begins with non US characters.
I can see that this problem has been discussed a year ago in this thread: http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=4687
But no useful solution came up. I have tried the suggested changes i the skin.xml file, but I get the error message:
"There is an invalid character in the given encoding. Line 20, position 91."
I have lastest GBPVR and use UK Radio Times xml grabber for my listings.
It wokrs perfectly, but every Saturday (and only Saturday) I get teh following lisitings...
11.20 - 1200 Popworld
11.30 - 1200 Popworld
And so on for nearly all the programmes during the day. I have tried using the xmltv DOS program, but it does the same . I have unistalled and put its all back together again, but it still goes mad on a Saturday.
It obviosuly makes recording very hard - any one else found this? Any advice?
I`m using the (great!) gbpvr app along with my Haupauge WinTV PVR USB2 card, to record and watch TV (through Antenna, not cables). Alas, my recordings suffer from two problems: most of the shows (not all, and not in any consistent form) have the sound garbled and distorted. I checked the file using other players and the problem is still there. The second problem is a short recording: I set up an one hour recording (or select a program from the EPG) and it records only 15 min or so. There is no shortage in disk space: I have always more than 15 Gigs free.
Can someone help me identify if this configuration will work.
1. ratDVD based media full menus, captions, audio tracks
2. Windows 2005 Media Center PC
3. GPPVR AND ratDVD installed on Windows 2005 Media Center PC
4. Linksys or any brand Media Center Extender
Will the media center extender be able to play the movies created with ratDVD served via the GPPVR software or ???
Want to be able to use media center devices to play / access my movie library at QUALITY. HD / Digital Audio on my televisions around the house.
I noticed an odd thing today, when the power went out here.
I have 3 MVPs connected to my GBPVR Server.
A few hours after the power came back up and I went to look at them all my MVPs where stuck on loading application. No matter how many times I restarted any Single MVP or the GVPVR server they would never get past the Loading Application screen.
It didn't load until after I went around and unplugged every single MVP server, restarted the GBPVR server and started the MVPs up one at a time.
Is there any known issues with multiple MVPs boot loading at the same time?
I plan on testing more to see if this occurance is a fluke or common.
I have 1 Over-the-air (antena - internal tuner) capture source line up and 1 for Directv thru Composite+External Tuner. Is there a way to enable/disable certain line up or both at will or tell gbpvr to pick a certain one?
What happens is that some times DirectTV is not connected to PVR150, and I only have antena available. In liveTV it automatically uses Directv to change the channel. This gives me a black screen. Antena is in "Sleep" mode. I end up delete the DirectTV entry for now.
And, since the program guide is merged, how do I tell which channels comes from which lineup? This is not an issue right now since there aren't many channels in my setup.
Thanks
