Over time I have pretty much tried all the music plugins as this is really my main use of gbpvr and my mvp.
They all have good points and bad points and my favourite is still the jukebox it did one simple thing really well with no frills.
Most peoples problem with it seems to be that because of its age it only has minimal skinning capabilities, I have never really seen skins as particularily important, surely most of the time you are watching a recording or listening to music hence you dont see the skin.
My biggest problem with all the music plugins when they are working on the mvp is getting them to start before the MVP times out and goes to contacting servers.
I have a fairly large music collection [around 8000 tracks] and the plugins all seem to scan a large chunk of this before they start playing anything and quite often the mvp times out before the plugin starts.
I pretty much always play music randomly and use "music player" as my plugin of choice to do this now which works reasonably well if I start the plugin up wait about 1 minute and then press the green button to go to jukebox mode, in other words give it time to get some tracks read in, before starting it up.
What I'd like to able to do is just start the plugin up and have it start randomly playing when I press the green button, is it possible to preload all the tracks into a database ?
I also feel that the randomness of the plugin is not as random as it might be but its hard to be certain of this, its just that some tracks do seem to come up quite often, and other tracks never get selected.
Hi,
I need some help to put my xcard remote to work.
I read "Sub" doesn´t like it, but I out of budget and I can´t buy another.
How can I activate it.
Thanx.
If you have scheduled recordings scheduled for the 15th of the month, then go back and schedule a re-occuring event on a date less than the 15th (say, starting on the 12th) the event doesn't show up in the PENDING event window. I don't know if it actually records the show or not if its not listed in PENDING. It is listed in the "Reoccurring" window.
It does work correctly as long as you never schedule a recording earlier than an existing scheduled recording.
I don't know if its just a display bug or if it will bleed into the actual recordings or not.
I know that I should not need the Hauppauge MVPMedia and MVPMedia Svc services running when I boot my MVP, but there are many times when it won't start without them. Last night for example. I found that someone had switched off the MVP. When I turned it on, it hung at "starting applications". Not until I started the Hauppauge services would it fully start. I then stop the MVP services and all is well.
I've searched through the forum but can't seem to find anything to help.
Newbie at this stage and looking for some setup help. Have purchased a Hauppauge WinTV PVR 350 card and installed GB-PVR with ease. Everything working until I tried to playback my avi's (all divx or xvid) and the screen is blank athough the PC seems to be trying to play. Have since read on this forum that the PVR350 can't output divx files through its TV out socket which is a bit dissapointing as the live tv is great.
Anyway I have a tv out socket on my Radeon 9800 pro card so think I can use that as a tv out but for the life of me I can't figure out how to tell GB-PVR to use this. I managed to go into my display properties in windows and switch my primary desktop to the TV but surely there is a better way of doing this as it renders my PC screen useless for other things.
Installed gbpvr today, and I've fiddled around a bit, it looks really nice!!
Everything have worked perfect for me, and when I read about direct booting into gbpvr (going to use this for recording tv and listen to music), I followed the Tips&Trix (on the gbpvrWiki site). After fiddeling a bit more I've managed to boot directly into gbpvr, but then I lost the function of the Remote Controll (Hauppage pvr150 w/remote). Everything else works well (internet-connection, weather plugin etc.). I've tried to enable/disable the 'direct access to Hauppage remote'. I've also tried to have/not have the ir.exe in startup. Now I'm lost... Do anyone have some suggestions about what I can do to fix this problem?
My recordings have got exceptionally quiet audio on them. Any mp3s I play thrgh gbpvr are fine, but I have to pt 'pseudo surround' on my tv to hear anything; and when I do, it's harsh to listen to, like a 'strained' bitrate.
I've tried changing the playback settings with no joy - so over to you guys. Playing the mpeg through powerdvd is the same - low sound.So, it's a capture problem.
I'm using the most recent version on a PVR150, and this problem existed with the last version. I can't think of anything that changed that may have caused this...
My system has a hauppauge PVR350 and PVR500 tuners and a Sigma Xcard as output. Im not able to get any audio or video from the PVR tuners though the Xcard output. When I use software decoder everything works.
I'm able to watch DVD and other videos with the Xcard.
The XCard is set to Scart RGB and PAL60. I have tried differnt outputs and modes with no luck.
Small question. I've a PVR 500 (which has dual tuners)
How do I set that up so I can use them though? I've selected PVR 500 where applicable, but I still get told I can't record a show and watch live TV at the same time.
So I just moved into a new apartment with a differt cable provider. So I went to set up the new channels, but I cant even delete the old channels.... Also the new channles are now listed higher up in the wrong order... can anyone tell me how to delete the line-up and start fresh???? I tried to uninstall the program and reload it, but it still didnt work.... Thanks!
