The topic might sound silly, but...
my PVR is connected to my TV for picture and my 5.1 amp for audio. Now the TV is a 100Hz kind and since it does some internal processing to the image it gets delayed slightly, maybe 2/10 of a second, but it's noticealbe. Now obviously the audio and video get out of sync (the amp doesn't add delay). Is there an easy way of adding a customizable amount of audio delay on the computer? (Feature request )
I don't usually run my computer with administrator privledges and i've noticed that many features don't work without them. One is the recording service. It only starts up with the admin account. I think this is what keeps the pause feature from working right. The config program crashes also. Any tips on getting around this? I have changed the security settings on the directory but still no luck.
Certain recordings have a very particular ordering of sound and video causing a bug in Comskip to show up.
It is visible in the log file as black frames with a volume of -1.
The net result is too many black frames detected.
If you are experiencing this please download the latest comskip77.zip from http://mk.kaashoek.com/gbpvr/
Please report if the latest version shows any large amount of volume=-1 on blackframes, I am never sure I realy solve a bug :o
Basically, 'early 2006' the BBC and ITV (jointly) are intending to launch a free-to-air satellite service. One of the main aims is to provide DVB to areas where Freeview is unavailable (and possibly never will be).
The question is this though, anybody know if there are plans to provide extra channels that aren't available (or won't be available) on the current DVB-T Freeview service? I'm currently working towards making my GB-PVR system DVB-T only and I don't really want to find that this time next year, say, I'll need to move to a sat. dish and DVB-S capture cards in order to get all the channels.
Just curious to know if anybody has heard/read anything more than the basic announcements on the BBC and ITV websites.
I am using my reciever to decode AC3 sound for DVDs, I also want to output a PCM version at the same time (so I can use my TV speakers if I want to), is that possible? I can do PCM through both output channels, but AC3 only seems to come out as S/PDIF signal. I can switch between S/PDIF and 2-speaker config in PowerDVD, but I have to do it manually in the config dialog. Any ideas?
I wondering what the overscan parameter in config.xml do? I have an overscan problem and I am wondering if this would fix it. I am specifically interested in whether this scales down resolution for DVD playback as well as liveTv and Recording. If you used this please let me know. I am just afraid to touch it so it does not screw up something else. Thanks
Would really like to see some information in the config application regarding the current plugin version that is installed. One line or two on the right hand side that changed whenever a given plugin was clicked on would be GREAT. I soemtimes lose track of which version of the plugins I've got installed.
I've been experience this hang when exitting the config application for quite some time now and don't know how to avoid the problem.
It really doesn't seem to matter what I do to try to avoid the problem, however here is what I currently do:
1. Shutdown GBPVR using exit from the main menu.
2. Stop the GBPVR recording service either using XMEDIAs stop script or from the manage console under windows.
3. Exit the tray icon.
4. Start the config application to make my changes (even if I don't make any changes this happens).
5. Click OK
6. The window saying that it is restarting the recording service appears.
7. Hang.............
At the point it hangs only the config application, JETCOMP and the config window are active (nothing else meaning no GBPVR processes, tray, recording service).
I understand that there must be a connection to the gbpvr database, but I just can't seem to figure out what application other then the config application would have the connection at this time.
If there is NO EPG data loaded into the gbpvr database then I never see this problem. I reinstalled everything this morning and config worked perfectly until I performed the EPG update (through the tray icon). After that it hung immediately.
If there is a better way to ensure there are no connections to the database before running config please let me know.
I though it might have been the web admin, but since reinstalling GBPVR I have yet to reenable that in the config.
I know this has been mentioned in the past but can find the thread. Am I right in thinking there is a six capture source limit?
What would happen if I added a seventh (would the config app. let me?) and disabled the channels on one of the existing ones temporarily to prevent it being used.
Basically I already have 6 (1x 350, 1x 500, 3x Nova-t) and I want to trial run a fourth Nova-t to see how it performs with 4 simultaneous DVB recordings. I want to change my setup as little as possible though so would prefer not to delete one of the existing sources so I can easily revert.
Or would it be safer to just 'snapshot' my gbpvr install folders and delete out a source with the option of easily reverting to my previous installation point?
