I'm building a little PVR box that will be conected to a TV all the time. I've bought a remote control and a PVR-150 card already to test the setup on my current PC. I want to get a VIA M12000 and a Morex 2600 to build a nice, small quiet system.
I've been searching the forum and some have expressed doubt on the TV quality and power of that board for running GBPVR. Has anyone seen that setup in action or know if it can suit my circumstances.
Any advice would be appreciated, so I don't waste a few hundred quid.
The Install program runs right to the point where it has 0% remaining to do, then switches to rollback mode, deletes the installation and says it cannot complete due to an error. Which of course it does not describe.
Surely there's a log somewhere of what's wrong, where do I look?
Downloaded and installed, says it cant find a db file to do with ZAP, will this work with the UK guides? does it just pull info from the GBPVR system (i use BLEB UK as cant find anything better and dont want to sit for hours building one as every update so far has resulted in complete PVR DIR deletes, the latest being the worse).
My system is a WinTV-NOVA-T-USB2, Soundblaster Live! card, P4 2.8GHZ HT CPU, 1.5GB RAM.
When watching live TV the audio and video is synced fine but when watching recordings in GBPVR and MediaPlayer the audio is out of sync to the video by about a second. From MuxChecker I'm using
im finally able to playback a ratdvd on my htpc, it turns out ffdshow was screwing it up (just incase anyone else is pulling out their hair, btw im now bald). anyway, i got it to work in Media Player 10, and NVDVD but for some reason i keep getting this error in GBPVR

and ive got no more hair to pull out (so i guess ill start on my eyes). sub any idea whats going wrong? is it something i can fix? ive no longer got ffdshow on my system (will try and update it and see if it works).
ive been able to play ratdvds thru myvideos if i use the playvideofile(string) api call, which allows me to navigate the menus (using the mouse only, which is expected) but when i click to play the movie (or any trailer etc) it stops.
if i use the video library i get the above error, if i play it thru the api call
playdvdfromiso(string)
i get the above error, oh btw that is the call i should be using right? there isnt a new one say playratdvd?
i konw i should have tested this in the prerelease but errr i wasnt sure about ratdvd, im still not sure, im at the stage im just so frustrated with the bloody thing i want to kick it, but i also want it to work, ive wasted the last few days with this (took 10hours ish to rip the dvd).
also gbpvr can (in theory) play a rat dvd like any other dvd right? like we can navigate using the same remote commands, yellow = next audio, green = next subtitle etc? or is the mouse required to navigate the menus?
I am working on a new plugin, and I really could use a few people to help test and help me work out the interface.
The pluging is a replacement for Net Radio. My plugin plays shoutcast streams, same as Net Radio, but I am also saving each song to a seperate MP3 file. From within the interface, you can jump back to any song you have recorded. Of course, the stream is still recording while you are listening to an old song.
Saving each song to MP3 works fairly well, but not perfectly. The data sent to tell what song is playing does not always come exactly when a song starts, but it work close enough.
Anyhow, if you use Net Radio and would like to help me with some testing, please let me know be either replying to this thread or a private message. I will have the software ready for testing in a couple of days.
After about 15-20 minutes of watching TV i will go to change the channel and my computer will lock up and I have to reboot. I am able to change the channels after I have started the program. It's only after it has been running for a little bit that t will do this.
I currently am running the program on a p3 933, 512meg ram, WinTV PVR350 (i'm using the tv and audio out of the tuner), and a 40gig hard drive with WinXP.
Also, when I use the software that came with the tv tuner, it never freezes up, no matter how long I have it running.
