I recently did an update where I installed Video Archive. At the same time, I installed the latest Weather plug-in and XMedia skins. By and large, everything seemed to go smoothly except the following:
1) After the update, all my EPG info was gone and all future one-time recording requests were gone. In addition, all my previous recordings were no longer listed in XRecord or the standard Record menu. The files are still on the drive and intact, but they only appear in the Video Archive version of Recordings. Update EPG in Config cured the first problem, and subsequent recordings are appearing in the standard Record, XRecord and Video Archive Record.
2) Often, while browsing in Video Archive Recordings, GBPVR locks up. The only way out is to use Ctrl-Alt-Del to end the application. On restart, all features work fine, but eventually I lock up in VA Recordings again.
Anything I can send/post that will help troubleshoot these issues?
I have spend a few hours searching forum with no results. Pretty standard setup, digital cable box to pvr-150 with RG6. The ir blaster works fine. I can get audio on all channels but no video.
Setup:
Direct Recording Plugin
External Tuner, Fixed Channel (#4) tried (#3) but get nothing.
Tuning = Cable
What should me settings be under the playback tab?
Can someone recommend an app that will allow batch conversion of an existing avi library. Also, I am presuming that a resize to 640x480 (PAL) would be the correct choice?
It seems to be a more foolproof way of having the MVP display correctly 100% of the time than on the fly, judging from the posts.
I have seen reviews of both of these cards, and they are both good, and have new techology in them. Theatrix 550 have the digital 3D filter. There were no reviews comparing them as to quality of picture. Has anyone here used both of these cards, and can comment on the PQ? I am in the market to buy either one. Thanks.
Have been working on a music plugin for my own use and thought why not post it so anyone can use it if they wish too
I made it so it would play music in a way I like to listen to it. But I'm very interested in adding features if thats what people want. Also if you find a bug or have a problem please post and I will do my best to help.
Current features
Play all by a particular artist
Play whole album
Shuffle play of artist or album
Global party shuffle (like iTunes)
Copy to external drive (I use this to copy music to a SE K750 but should work for any MP3 player that acts as an external drive
Album art (folder.jpg)
Skin.xml for the default blue skin
...
Note
As I'm an iTunes user my MP3s are stored by Artist\Album\Title and this is how AMP works. AMP DOES NOT READ ID3 TAGS, it only works with this directory structure (sorry).
AMP has 2 config options; MusicPath (root of your music files eg "c:\My Music") and PlayerPath (optional-path to an external MP3 player eg "D:\audio").
I have noticed tat mpeg 4 is becoming a very well known format. Mpeg4 playback support and an auto-convert to mpeg 4 would be very useful as it is a much smaller file size while still retaining great quality.
