I've been using GBPVR for several days and love the program. Initially everything worked perfectly, well except for the media mvp, but that was because my wireless network card is junk and now works fine as I have a wired connection. Anyways, now my pvr150 is not working properly in GBPVR. It appears to be running a lower resolution than it previously did, and also has issues with about half the channels. What is occuring is that for a nanosecond when I change the channel the picture is clear as a bell, and after that it almost appears as if there is an overlay of static. Using the supplied Hauppauge software, the tv works great, and also with MediaPortal. I did reinstall the software, wiping away the directory in the process. I was experiencing issues with my older tv card, and ati all in wonder, and uninstalled its software, but I can not recall if the problems begam immediately after doing so. I'm assuming this is a directshow issue as other programs, namly windows movie maker feature similar static when accessing the tv card. This continued even after I uninstalled (using hauppauge's utility) and reinstalled the software for the pvr150. Does anyone know of any fix to this problem, other than wiping my entire computer and reinstalling windows? Is there any other information I can give which would help pinpoint my issue. My TV tuner is a pvr150, on a Dell Dimension 8100 (P4 1.7 GHz, with 512 megs of ram. The video card is an ati all in wonder 9600, with the tv software not so cleanly uninstalled (the uninstall process crashed towards the end).
I think it could possibly be a registry key that is forcing my tv tuner to either preset to another country at a lower resolution, and tune in antenna mode, but I could be completely wrong about both my hypothosized cause and symptoms.
When the hard disk is in danger of being overrun, I'd like to have the option of having the oldest recording autodelete. If a recording has been flagged as permanent, it will not be autodeleted. It's unfortunate to miss a show because I've run out of hard disk space.
Somebody let me know if this is already a feature and I'm just missing out. :p
I am new to all this, having only got my TV card today (AverMedia DVB-T A800 USB). After much reading of the forum I have updated the bda.ini with the following :
[AVerMedia DVB-T (A800)]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
RECEIVER_ONLY_MODE=1
FILTER_RECEIVER=AVerMedia DVB-T BDA Video Capture(A800)
PIN_RECEIVER_IN=Antenna In Pin
PIN_RECEIVER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
I am not sure if this is correct, but i don't get any errors when I select the card in the recording source.
I have set my EPG to DVB broadcast, but when I click update EPG it just flashes up a window and closes.
My TV card picks up all the channels OK using showshift and the AverMedia software so I know I get reception ok.
I have graphedit installed but not sure how to use it to check the bda is correct.
One other thing - how do I find out my transmitter/region ? I'm in west london.
"According to PVRBlog, TiVo's new operating system update enables content protection flags on a per-show basis. On some programs, notably syndicated shows, a red flag appears to indicate that the copyright holder has requested that TiVo devices not save a program past a certain date and that the program may not be copied to a PC using TiVo to Go. TiVo users were told to expect this style of flag only on pay-per-view and video on demand programming, and as such are upset that TiVo has restricted the capabilities of the receivers they bought and subscribed to use. The TiVo Community boards have some screen shots and firsthand accounts."
I am in process of setting up with GBPVR on a Media MVP. This is what I have so far - analog cable and cable modem, PC and Laptop via 802.11g to Linksys router, MediaMVP ($40@RS) wired to same router. I am looking to get a WinTV PVR 150 when they go on sale again.
After many, many hours reading this and other forums, I seem to have everything working well, except....when working with GBPVR (or Hauppauge MediaMVP) I get "contacting servers" whenever I do anything that seems network intensive. Sometimes the OSD comes back in a few seconds, sometimes a few minutes, sometimes black screen.
I've searched through the discussions on it and have read alot of info on network optimization. I guess I'm just looking for confirmation that the network is the culprit. I've downloaded HyerWRT but haven't loaded it yet. Should I print out all of the expert advice and try to fine tune the network, or are there other areas that I should look at first?
i can see that the txt files are created. but the commercals are still there. i've got both bat files, and set it to call comskip from within the config.
I get movies once in a while that come w/ the subtitles. I want to use them when the subs aren't embedded (someone speaks spanish during a english lang film), but I can't seem to tell it to only show the non-english ones (even though I have set vobsub/ffdshow to english).
Anyone good w/ these, or know if there's a trick? Right now it just means I need to move them out of a subfolder when I do need them.
i am not a programmer, but i do know windows quite well.
the documentation for web scheduling seems confusing.
i get objects not found when i try to click the links in that documentation. i have clicked the remote scheudling box in the conifg, i left the log in information as admin, the default.
anyone have steps for a novice to schedule remote recordings in gbpvr?
