Hello again

- I've resolved the problem when using DVR-MS in timeshift mode - had to run graph edit and render a media file - change the merit values of the decoders I wanted to use with radlight as my selection within GB-PVR didn't force my choice. Now all is good except ....

I've noticed that when the end of the program occurs (whilst using DVR-MS) GB-PVR doesn't jump to the next recording, hence it doesn't continue to play timeshifted TV - it just freezes/pauses at the end of the file.

When I select the Cyberlink Mux the Timeshift does continue, however sometimes it freezes - where I simply hit pause/play a couple times and the file starts to play again.

Question - is there a buffer entry that I can increase somewhere to help with the transition of recording files. Or has anybody experienced the same and fixed it another way?

I'm probably just overloading my machine, but I recently enabled the Comskip options after upgrading to GBPVR v0.94.13. Everything worked great -- excellent success rate at marking the commercials and such. However, this was also the first time that I encountered choppy video where about 5-10 seconds of video seems to be playing at a faster speed. This was on 5 different shows on three different channels and the choppy stuff showed up seemingly at random throughout the entire 7-hour recording period. .

Now, admittedly, I'm running a P4/1.8ghz, 512mb RAM, one 160GB hard drive (internal and another 200gb external as needed), a PVR150 and a PVR500 (so a total of three tuners). In my recording schedule (especially this day I'm talking about above), all three tuner cards could be recording at the same time. I did notice that with three instances of Comskip running, my CPU is bogged down quite a bit more than usual, even with three cards recording at the same time. Am I probably just overloading my system with this type of recording pattern + the additional burden of Comskip? Is there a better way for me to use the Comskip function that won't result in the video problem?

Hi,

Is it possible to send key commands to GB-PVR without having to make GB-PVR the active applicaiton/window?

I'm in the mist to getting HIP to provide extra key functions to "make GB-PVR the active window" as it seems all the other keys require this. My issue is that I'd like to do this in a way that doesn't impact a different person who is using the PC/Monitor for other purposes (i.e. one person watch TV/GB-PVR, another one using the PC on primary monitor). I'm using the MCE Remote option in GB-PVR config by the way.

Thanks

Hi made a new plugin.

It's pretty basic. Shows some information about how much EPG data you have, the size of your root drive, and recordings drive. Also shows what your machine will do when idle.

I've had it working with Blue and BlueMCE2 skins and GB-PVR 94.12.
Needs CommonGBPVRUtilities.dll to run (included in zip)

Comments welcome.

And if anyone wants, I've converted a plugin skeleton to VB.net rather than C#.

I`m new to this, and I`m thinking about buying a TV card to use it with my Hughes sat box. What`s the best card out there? (it should wake up the computer, etc)

There seems to be a problem with Unicode support in Music Library. I have some folders and MP3 files whose names are in Japanese. The folders appear fine in ML (see the first attachment), but not the files themselves (see second one)

Zap2it allows a user to filter on various types of television shows/genres, would it be possible to add that functionality to the GBPVR TV listings screen? Just a thought....

How do I find out which codecs are the system defaults for my computer? I looked under control panel->system->device manager->sound, video, game controllers->video codecs, but I couldn't find anything that indicated defaults. I also downloaded vcswap, but again, no indication of defaults

I'd also like to find out which mux filter is being used by gbpvr, however I'm not sure what I'm looking for. I assume I could find the answer in one of the log files, no?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hi,

since the last update, I've a big problem:

The audio volume on live-tv, playback and fm-radio is tooooo low!

To understand something, I have to set all system volumes (master and wave) to the upper limit. Then I have to level up the speakers audio to 2/3 of the maximum. (Normally: master: 30%, wave 30% and speakers 1/3)
Is is very hard, because any system sound (shutdown, program-start) is so load, that my all the people in this house could hear this...

When I play the recordings with the windows-media-player, poverDVD or nero showtime, the volume is ok. But in gbpvr it is to low!
(The MVP-audio is OK)

I've tried alle the audio decoders and renderers, but it would not be better.

I've tried these decorders:

System-default
InterVideo NonCSS Audio decoder
MPEG audio decorder
Cyberlink Audio decoder

And this renderers:
System default
Soundmax digital audio
Cyberlink audio renderer
Cyberlink audio renderer (PDVD6)
Direct sound device
Wave out device
DirectSound: Soundmax digital audio

I've looked in the keyboard reference for a gbpvr-owned volume, but there is nothing. There is only an entry for the music-library.

What can I do ?
Please help!

Bye,
Sebastian

I decided I wanted something more default than the default noposter.gif. You can do anything you like, but I'll offer these.

Here are some old/intl' ones, too, to make your own:
