As always GBPVR is a great program thanks to Sub and the plugin developers.
I'm occaisonally having GBPVR lockup while watching livetv. I was watching Monday football and about 2 hours in the picture froze, the remote would not respond though I could hear "beeps" everytime I pushed a button onthe remote. I eventually logged in via VNC and did a ctrl-alt-delete and was able to end task GBPVR.
Not sure which logs are applicable but from gbpvrrecordingservice.exe.log :
9/12/2005 6:33:05 PM.315 INFO [36] Running postprocessing.bat on: D:\MyVideos\Good Eats\Good Eats_20050912_18001830.mpg
9/12/2005 6:37:06 PM.732 INFO [36] comskip has completed.
9/12/2005 11:00:46 PM.500 ERROR [35] Found expired lease. Stopping recording.
According to GbpvrTray the livetv is still being recorded, I checked and the mpeg is still growing so it is
That would be cool to have an options menu come up when you hit record when in live mode instead of it just recording.
IE-Right now it just starts recording. Instead, a window choice would come up, "Record now, Record til end of program". So when you want to record something your watching but need to exit out if your need to do something else, your not stuck with nothing recorded by having to exit out, go into the guide, and select Record show, like you do now.
So My Videos issue cleared up miraculously after I installed power DVD, but I encountered a new issue.
GBPVR won't let me record all episodes for the season. I looked at the log, but am not sure what it is/isn't doing right. It is attahced for reference. Any help would be apprechiated.
Maybe I'm missing something simple here, but I cannot seem to perform Boolean Searches or Exact Phrase Searches in the Forums?
I have checked the options in the User Control Panel.
I have tried "This Type of Search" but no exact phrases turn up e.g. I 'know" there is a Topic "Is the Dazzle" but it throws out teh serach, rather than doing an exact phrase match?
I have tried a This AND That search but it doesn't appear to work either.
Does vBulletin not support Boolean Search or is there a setting I am missing or is it just disabled in this version?
I installed GBPVR for first time today and work good,I have a MVP in a wired network and work good too,but I have a problem,no audio, when I use wintv I have audio but no with GBPVR,also in wintv2k when I use wintvscheduler and record a show no audio is present and I lost the audio in wintv2k,I try to install the new drivers from HAUPP web site but no way for me to make this work ,Please any ideas how to fix that?\thanks
As with all releases, I recommend you do a backup before installing this release.
From the change.log:
Quote:
2005-09-13 v0.94.7
- Added support for using the EPG that is broadcast with DVB transmissions. Please note, you have to be using the default <BDAScanType>2</BDAScanType> for this to work. Those that changed to <BDAScanType>1</BDAScanType> will not be able to use this feature.
- Fixed a bug with auto detecting the the encoder/mux filter on the ATI 550 Pro
- Added a slight delay into the FM Radio scan function, as some users werent able lock on to radio stations correctly - this may help.
- Added ability to alter the keys used on a per screen basis. See the KeyMappings directory for XML files that define this. I've implemented support for this for all the internal screens. If plugin developers also want to support this, they should use the new KeyCommandHelper class. I'm happy to provide more details about this if anyone wants to know more.
- Fixed a bug with the new logic to retain recording information when the linked capture source was deleted.
- When you're in the search screen you can press the blue key to bring up a free text title search. It's a bit of hack, and pretty primitive, but it gives you some more options if you need them.
- Fixed a bug with ratDVD playback
- Fixed an bug with cancelling recordings from the TV Guide.
- Minor changes to MVP DVR-MS support.
- Added .avs file extension to the list of files that can be played by GB-PVR.
- You can now plugin a different MVP transcoder by creating a Trans2MVP.bat file. First argument is the name of the file to be played. The second argument is the name of the temporary MPEG file.
- Added a 'remove channel' button in the capture source settings.
- Net radio song changes are now sent as notification events.
- Added functionality to call ParallelProcessing.bat when a recording starts if the file exists.
- Added <ForceFMBufferingMode> setting to config.xml to force GB-PVR to buffer FM radio (as was done in releases prior to v0.93).
- Added API for plugin developers to be able to start live TV.
- New 'processing' tab in config app, with several features...
+ Ability to configure system to use either Comskip or ShowAnalyzer
+ Ability to configure Comskip/SA during the recording
+ Ability to configure automated conversion of MPEG2 to WMV/XviD/DivX. WMV seems to the most reliable transcoding. xvid/divx can be quirky depending on versions of filters installed etc.
+ Ability to configure automated conversion of DVR-MS recordings to standard MPEG2, or WMV/XviD/DivX. See comments above regard WMV vs XviD/DivX.
...If you're an MVP user, I recommend you stick with standard MPEG2 files since this is the only native file type the MVP can play. Anything else would require on the fly transcoding back to MPG format, which is less than desirable.
- Added logic to run ParallelProcessing.bat when recording starts, if the file exists.
- Added logic to dynamically reload the comskip file when it is updated, which is usefull when you're running Comskip/SA during the recording
- Fixed a bug where the screen saver picture wouldnt move on the MVP
- Added an auto fine-tuning for Hauppauge PVR cards to work around missing audio reported by some PVR150 owners
- Fixed a bug that could result in gbpvr.mdb being renamed old.mdb
- Applied latest Web Admin changes
- Channel number now passed as second parameter to PostProcessing.bat.
- Fixed a bug that could lead to an Object reference not set error when using live tv with encoder pass-through.
- A few changes to the filter logic used in GO7007SB device support
DellSC400 3.2G 512M Hauppauge PVR150 on cable system. XP SP2 w/all patches. NIS 2005 w/all updates set to permit all (there is no Zap2it program listed - only GBPVR, GBPVRTray Icon and GBPVRRecordingservice)
System ran fine for 3 months -- great! No changes in system recently. Recorded over passed weekend - no SW updates since.
Today Guide was blank - just channel number with no programs.
Used config to manually Update EPG and - "Your EPG Source does not appear to be configured correctly. Please check the EPG Source Settings and try again"
Verified Firewall was "permit all" for GB-PVR, Tray Icon and Recordingservice (same as previous 3 months of flawless operation).
Confirmed Password with Zap2it. Rekeyed PW in Settings and tried again. Same error message.
Tried Empy EPG - then update -- same error.
Uninstalled GB-PVR - Reinstalled - Same message. All of the above steps again -- still same error.
When I watch recordings or a DVD, I get a crackle or static in the audio ever so often. When I watch the same clip under windows media player, i don't hear that crackling. I thought it was my speakers, but since it works fine in wmp, i thought it's somesort of software thing??
I have everything in gbpvr config set to 'default'. Anyone have any thoughts?
