I want to start GBPVR with a window size of 640x480. I made a batch file with the following lines:
@echo off
"C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\GBPVR.exe -pos:0,0,640,480"
When I run the batch file, a command window flashes briefly, then nothing happens. However, if I then change the batch file commands to the following, GBPVR will start with a window size of 640x480, but the command window doesn't close:
@echo off
"C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\GBPVR.exe"
Can someone please tell me how to create a batch file that will start GBPVR with the desired window size, without leaving the command window open?
I recently setup my GB-PVR system and when viewing a recording, I am unable to use the remote control except for the FF button. It was my understanding that the COMSKIP would function by pressing a specific key sequence. Unfortunately when I press some of the keys on the remote control (e.g., pause button) is restarts the MVP player.
I've got a couple of very minor issues that cropped up a few releases ago. First, when a new recording starts, GB-PVR loses focus. I suspect this is due to the batch file called for betlit's parallel port monitor, but I'm not sure.
Second, GB-PVR jumps to the main screen after I let a recording run all the way to the end. It will go back to the recordings screen, but when I push any key (usually ok or down to select another recording) it goes back to the main screen. If I hit stop one second before the end I can navigate normally. I first noticed this happening maybe 3 or 4 releases ago.
These are both minor annoyances at most, but if there's an easy way to fix either I'd be interested in hearing it.
Thanks
I've noticed since upgrading to 93.13 that my skin is a little off, computer side is fine, it's only the MVP side. Generally i use the fat blue hi vis skin. I get a white line across the screen from the enlarged button (the center one) going all the way to the right and off the screen. I have no idea what's causing it. I tried a couple of other skins just to test and the fat blue is the only one i see it happening on.
It's mostly noticable on the main screen but is aparent on other screens as well. mostly the ones that have a white bottom on the button. I've attched a crude capture from my tv set. you can sort of see it but it's hard getting a non fuzzy screen capture off the mvp screen. But it's just below the recordings button going through the task image and off the side of the screen. Any ideas what might be causing this?
I'm trying to re-create a very useful funtion that was included in the Happauge MVP software. The original software that came with the MVP had a shuffle option, so for example, my daughter has a directory with 50 cartoons in it, she could select shuffle and get a different play order each time. All we have now is a play all option which means she always sees the same ones (typically she'll only want to watch 4 or 5 in one sitting). My Videos has a playlist option but I'm not totally sure how all the options on that work and can't find detailed instructions (what does stacking do?). Ideally I'd like to be able to create a daily, random, playlist outside of GBPVR and then be able to play that....
I am using two capture devices - pvr-250 and pvr-usb2. I want to use regular cable on the 250 and s-video from a digital cable box for the usb (I find the tuner is better on the 250). How do I get two different channel lineups? Do I have to create two separate zap2it accounts or should I be asking how to I add another lineup to my exisiting zap2it account?
I'm scanning all channels to be sure I get everything - choosing only 1 transmitter leaves loads of channels out. I'm in York.
I'm missing stuff like BBC 3&4, E4+1, etc, although I do have some duplicate channels with no audio. WinTV2000 can tune everything fine, with a good signal.
I'm using WinTV nova-t USB2, BDA to tune (with correct selection for the WinTV usb2). EPC source is Bleb UK.
Anyone any idea how to fix? I saw a reg hack somewhere for manual tuning, but it looks a real nightmare to implement.
Great Community - and great program Sub. I messed around for days trying to get MythTV going but I suck and couldn't get it to work, so I have turned to Windows and GBPVR.
I have evrything running well, guide, some extra plugins, live TV works well, I have done Record on Demand and it has worked and I have setup some programs to be recorded through the guide. Just wanted to also point out the setup took all of 15 minutes untill it was fully functional, yeah!
Now, my only real issue at this point is my IR Blaster. I have the following Hardware:
Starchoice Satellite Reciever
HTPC - (PVR-150 model 1045 with remote and connected IR Blaster, On Board sound out, Nvidia gf4 mx 400 for TV Out via Svideo)
Hitachi A/V Reciever
36" TV
So I start up windows fresh, IR.exe starts up in my startup group. I launch GBPVR and the remote works perfectly, all functions work as they should.
I program a recording for a different channel at a future time. Everything works well, GBPVR changes the channel on my Sat Reciever when the recording is to begin via the IR Blaster. Everything is still good untill the recording is done, and then the IR blaster completely locks up.
I can change things within the PVR software fine, the remote still responds, but the IR Tranciever that sits of the IR reciever on my Satellite STB dosn't work untill I exit GBPVR and restart IR.exe. I can reproduce this bug on a consistent basis, it happens evrytime GBPVR changes a channel to start a recording.
Ok, I see lots of posts debating which Codecs are best, and also registry settings to configure the Codecs. But with a setup that uses a Hauppauge 350, and an MVP, am I using any codecs? I understand that the decoding is done with MVP hardware, and I THINK the 350 card encodes it in hardware also. Is this correct? If so, is there any way for me to 'tune' them to work better on my system?
