The first DVD player for the MVP. Have you ever wished you can play a DVD iso or vob directory on the MVP? Or perhaps that DVD in your drive. Well now you can. You need to download VLC and install this plugin. It will transcode the DVD on the fly into a mpeg and stream it to your MVP. You can then save it off to a predefined directory

You must have the following tools installed
Daemon Tools (for mounting iso's)
VLC (for transcoding)

configure settings.xml in the skin directory.

Leadtek is one of most advanced PC integrated TV tuner producers today!
amazingly, your software missed this !
Let me show: your software doesn't handle DV2000 XP Leadtek tuners or TV Expert etc
if go to their site (http://www.leadtek.com.tw) to download latest tuner for leadtek dv 2000 you will be amazed to find a reliable tuner capable to record divx-video and mp3-audio simultaneously and much more while your software show the user non-understable menus with lot of bugs and freezing holes...
so, try it for more and success !
please email me when got it !

Someone asked if I could post a picture of the debugwindow of the comskip release currently being beta tested.

It shows, from bottom to top, in the debug bar over time
Silence in green
Black frames in red
Both silence and black frames as black vertical lines
Precense of logo as a black horozontal bar
Aspect ratio changes in the blue line with as a grey background showing where commercials are found.

Above that in black and white the video with in overlay
Blue lines showing the detected top and bottom of the video
A white box with the detection pixels of the logo, turning red when no logo is found.

When tuning many of the parameters the debug window can be show the result after a rerun on the frame array (the .csv file)

The image can be found here

Hi there.

Can I remotely wake a PC from hibernate when trying to access the Web Scheduling interface? Or do I need to send a "wake-up" package or request?

I have had to reformat my harddisk due to virus and to reintall everything again.

My two capture cards are:
Sapphire Theatrix
WINTV-PVR150

When I try to start GB-PVR I get an error message saying:
This system does not seem to support VMR9. Use a different renderer.

And then the program exhits.

Please let me know what I need to do to enable my system to support VMR9, like before the formatting.

Many thanks once again

Once I got the mediamvp up and running(few bumps) it does a really great job. My only complaint right now...it looks significantly better than my main tv using the tv-out on a nvidia 5700. GBpvr's menu's are noticeably crisper and professional looking on the MVP. My question now, what can I do to improve my tv-out screens? Im using s-video out to composite cable since my tv doesnt have an s-video plug. I know its not the tv since I plugged the media mvp into it and it looked great. I have a hard time believeing the graphics card is the problem since its new and a relatively good card? I would just buy another MVP but I need to play DVD's on my main tv. Any gbpvr veterans out there know any tweaking tricks?

Since I started using 94.08 (including the most recent 94.12 release), I've noticed (actually my children first noticed) that the Recordings UI is responding very slowly. When I first start GBPVR and click on Recordings, it takes ~7 seconds for GBPVR to respond. During this time the CPU is at 100%. Subsequent operations (descending into subdirectores or popping back out again) take 3-4 seconds (again the CPU is pinned). Has anyone else experienced this sort of thing? Any ideas on what might be causing the problem? Any suggestions about what I might do to address the problem.

My setup:

Plextor PX-TV402U
Windows XP Pro SP2
Pentium M @ 1.6Ghz
1GB Memory

p.s., I recognize that the processor isn't the fastest in the world, but the problem appeared fairly recently and seems quite out of proportion to the task at hand. BTW, GBPVR isn't looking in all the metadata streams that are associated with each file (introduced with 94.08, I think) during these operations, is it?

I am having a problem getting video to play back on my monitor. My tuner is a pvr 350. I have tried VRM9 VRM 7 and overlay but still nothing..not even sound. I do get sound over net radio though. Any tips?

Thanks

Sub,

Something to look into as a maintenance fix at some point. If an XMLTV datasource is empty (i.e. because the grabber was down or some other unknown reason why the xmltv file would be empty), GBPVR outputs a dialog box that has to be responded too before PostUpdateEPG.bat will run. Ideally, this information should go into the GBPVRRecodingService.exe.log file instead of to a screen dialog box which has to be responded to manually.

Typically, GBPVR for me is running pretty much forgotten unless something doesn't look right in the recording schedule. The only way I detected this was by actually going to the machine that GBPVR runs on and seeing the hung dialog box.

I bought MVP from Radioshack this week, got connected to the GBPVR, and everything is fine, but I am thinking that MVP is just not ready for Primetime yet!!

My biggest problem with MVP is not been able to play ISO or DVD mounted via various means.

I have moded Xbox that I use for my primary means to watch DVD or recorded shows using GBPVR on my PC, and I was hoping that I could replace XBOX with MVP, but I am not sure if I will do that.

Yes, it is much nicer to use with GBPVR and MVP Combo, but without not been able to play ISO, I will have to wait for another mature product to come.

I know you can convert to MPG, but I want to keep all my dvd collection in ISO as library ready to burn.

Anyone knows that if new MVP will have that capbility and enhanced/polished UI?

Thanks again for great GBPVR product.. It just works... rob
