I want to be able to view JPG through my MVP. I've searched and not found any active links, only some references in a few forums. Anyone know where to find it or alternatively, what is the best way to view JPG throught the MVP?
I am new to GB-PVR.... been using for about 8 days.
My problem is I got xmltv working and everything and downloaded 7 days worth of stuff.
Now I did what I think I did before and xmltv does its thing. It looks like all is working tell... I open GB-PVR and click on 'TV Guide' then it pops-up the following message
Error: Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: "41016" Key being added: "41016"
When I click 'ok' and then the message goes away but the TV Guide did not open, everything except 'TV Guide and 'Search Guide' work fine, and 'Search Guide' does not error or anything it just does not have any programs in it. It does still record the scheduled programs and I can watch them and live TV through the GB but it is hard to schedule new things without the guide ;-P
When I click 'update EPG' it looks like it is working fine and I even tried 'empty EPG' to no avail. And yes, I have restarted many times hoping it would help.
due to a problem, i uninstalled and reinstalled GBPVR, but i've got problems now. (possibly a service issue?)
GBPVR.exe is constantly running in the background now, eating cpu cycles between 20 and 60%. My cursor is constantly flicking between the hourglass and the regular cursor as the cpu usage fluxuates with GBPVR.exe in the background. if i restart my computer, I get the same problem. In fact - it starts doing this even before I log in, and am sitting at the winxp logon screen.
Further, the desktop gbpvr.exe seems to be working, but if i try to start the MediaMVP server it does not start up, and when i restart the computer, it doesn't automatically restart, as i've set it up to do through the config file. I have both Hauppauge's MVPMedia and MVPMediasrc services set to manual and stopped.
when i go to the config file and try to make a change or two and then restart the service, it's a crapshoot whether the service will actually stop, or whether it will just hang there forever.
I've had GBPVR working great on my machine here for 4 months now, and the only difference i can see is that I uninstalled and reinstalled, and the version i reinstalled was GBPVR09413.msi . (the one i was using up until today was the previous version.) Can anyone give me a tip on what i should look at to see why the mediamvp service is not starting, and why the gbpvr.exe is always actively running, even when restarting? (my only guess here is that the gbpvr.exe is constantly trying to start the auto mediamvp server service but is not successful?...)
When watching a dvd that i personally created and authored and press the "back" button or the "menu" button on my Hauppauge 45-button remote, it just goes back to the beginning of the dvd and plays again from the start. The only way to exit dvd mode is to eject the dvd and then press "back". A bug?
I have a pvr250 using internal tuner. I've tried allot of different combinations of codecs but the bright areas of the screen seem washed out with no detail. Any suggestions?
So, so far I've gone through SageTV, GBPVR, and MediaPortal.
I've found that Media Portal doesn't run as a service, so it only records when it's running which tosses that right out. SageTV (aside from being stupidly expensive) is basically a damn beta testing thing thats not customizable at ALL (there customization software has been 'beta'-ing for over a year and a half by the look of forum posts which discuss it) - but has really nice features.
GBPVR seems to be in the middle.
Some of the features I'd like to see that I think are cool:
- Search by genre. If no genre, just sort into a no genre group.
- Search with more then the first letter (2-3 bars or keypad for entry).
- Improved EPG with coloring by genre.
- Documentation on skinning
- Multiple disk support.
- Graphics system overhaul (I think this is the biggest for skinning, speed, etc.)
This is just from a guy, who is trying to get his HTPC setup and is testing everything out. This is what I see at the moment .
I think the program is great so far...I just need to get the damn thing setup right and looking right for me .
Can DVD2MPEG handle DVDs of multiple shows? I just tried ripping a dvd to using Jeff's VA plugin. The plug in is great, but I am pretty unfamiliar with the DVD rip process. The DVD I tried to rip was a TV collection and all that got converted was the first episode and it quit. The quality was great, but it would be nice to get all the episodes
Is this normal behavior, or do I need to change some settings?
I have a Hauppague WinTV PVR2 USB and installed the drivers and of curse the gbpvr software. I ran the Tuning Assistant but saw no channels, even tho it found the right channels I pay for. When trying to run the PVR, it tells me that "No availabe PVR350 was detected in the system". Interesting considering I told it I had the WinTV PVR. How do I convince the PVR I have what I have?
I have a problem I just connected my new Media MVP and it look darker in my TV than in my monitor and the size of the screen is not that good, how I can fix this. Thanks You.
I am using the Hauppauge PVR150 with Windows XP and using wire.
