I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this but I wanted to share some of my finding.
Trans2MVP either crashed or worked perfectly for me. It depended on the source file. i.e. for a particular file Trans2MVP either worked perfectly or crashed every time.
I then installed several codecs - for some other reason.
Then Trans2MVP never crashes on me. However, for the files that once crashed, now the sound is out of sync - on both my 350 and MVP.
I'm not sure this is in the right place but I'm not sure where else to put it so here goes.
Ever since installing ver 93.10 i can't keep the Media MVP screen saver from popping up ever 60 seconds. I've gone into the Happauge software ver 2.5.23228, (although i've tried several different versions with the same results), and tried a number of settings, off, blank, 5 min, 15 min, and all the setting work just fine as long as i'm in the Happauge software.
When i shut down the Happague software and bring up GB-PVR servers, no matter what i'm set to, i get the bouncing Happauge logo in 60 seconds. I have the GB-PVR screensaver set to off, and that works just fine.
I just don't understand why the Happague screensaver keeps popping up. It doesn't do it if there are screen updates happening such as on the main menu with the next recording panel active or while watching a recording but as soon as you don't do anything for 60 seconds up it comes.
Giday.. am new, both to the forums, and to GB PVR.
Am up and running the App, and have the guide data all working, and can record etc.
However, now I am trying to remotely change channels on my Sky Sat receiver. I have a USB-UIRT, and realise that GB PVR can directly drive it, but I don't want to use this feature, as I also use Girder to control a few other IR devices, and when Girder uses it's USB-IRT plugin, it wipes out support for it in GB PVR, and vice-verca.
I have made up a working GML file in girder to control my Sat receiver, and tested the IR commands from Girder and they work fine.
They are events labled '0 thru 9'
Now, I feel the best option for me to change channels from GB PVR, is to use the GB PVR girder channel changer plugin.
However, here's where things have turned to custard, as damned if I can get it to work.
Would some kind sole have some kinda 'guide' as how to setup the girder channel changer plugin?
In girder(3.3), I have the 'Internet Event Server' plugin enabled, but it doesn't seem to be communicating with GB PVR 'at all'
I can however use the girder event.exe command from dos command prompt to trigger my learned commands.
eg. event 1 -silent changes my Sky Receiver to channel 1.
I have been running this version ever since I loaded the app. Every now and then and more lately, the gvpvr app is behaving strangely in that when the app is fired up, the main menu comes up fine but as soon as select say TV Guide, the CPU will jump to 100% on the machine (most of which is gbpvr) and nothing will happen for almost a minute after which the TV guide will appear.
The CPU will stay at 99-100% all the time until I exit the application.
Tried updating to the latest version of gbpvr. Now the CPU doens't hit 100% but it won't record! The app begins to record by changing the channel using my USB-UIRT emitter and then fails recording. An examination of the log is not revealing - one log showed sending channel number 4 (in preparation to sending the 1 as part of channel 41) and that was the end of the log entry. The show was not recorded and showed as a failed recording in the log
I had to back that version out and go back to the 90112b
I have a Silverstone LC11M case that comes with the iMON VFD/IR-remote module. It would be really cool if someone could develop or adapt a gbpvr plugin which would display what is currently playing on gbpvr, onto the iMON VFD display? In particular, I'm really keen to see the FM radio station name and number displayed so that I don't have to turn-on the TV to see or change stations.
Anyone using one of these with GBPVR? Is there any need for GBPVR with one of these?
I found they're available in NZ - HD compatible, 5.1 sound, component output, wireless or wired, remote connection to PCTV tuner etc.
It sounded like a good tool to access stuff in the bedroom or a 2nd monitor. I realise a lot of people seem to use the MVP and I wondered if there is any comparison of one against the other (except for the price!).
Does the MVP access GBPVR's frontend and tuners etc? Not exactly sure how it all works.
I've done some searching with limited success (see this thread for what I found), and what I want to do is this:
Use an old laptop with TV-out remotely on my LAN to interface to the GBPVR running a Hauppauge PVR250 on a faster box elsewhere. There - that's it. The post I found above mentions this config in passing, but I'm not seeing any documentation to that effect anywhere else.
Is it possible to totally control GBPVR from elsewhere on the LAN, like my MediaMVP does? Or do I just use the laptop interfacing with the HTML interface?
