Has anyone been able to get the MCE remote to work on Windows 2000 or Server 2000? I have one from when I was playing with MCE, and wanted to see if I could use it before I go out and buy a different one. If I have to purchase a new remote, what would you say is the best remote for GBPVR? I'd rather have an IR remote, but I could do RF if necessary. Thanks.
I have just downloaded and installed gbpvr on my laptop. My laptop display is set for 1024x768 while my external monitor (through VGA) is 1600 x 1200. I am using the WinTV PVR USB2.0.
When I run gbpvr on my laptop display, I get live preview working in both the video and audio aspect. However, when I try to get it running on my external monitor (which is really where I want it) I can still hear the audio, but the screen is black.
Would it be possible to have a command-line switch for GBPVRRecordingService.exe, to allow us to set the process priority via the service's "parameters" interface?
I'd like to set the recording service to high priority, since it seems MAME grabs all available CPU resources even if it doesn't need them, causing CPU assignment delays to the recording service that render the recorded videos so blocky and jumpy that they are unwatchable, even though recording only requires 5% of the CPU on my system. I think that setting it to high priority would prevent this.
Edit: and before anyone says it, yeah, I know I could run MAME in low priority! I've tried it, it works fine, and the recording is no longer blocky or jumpy. I guess this is just a wishlist request, so that I could have the GBPVR recording service get prioritized over all other applications running.
This problem has been bugging me since I started using GBPVR. I store my recordings on my external drive since I'm running on a laptop (with Hauppauge WinTV USB PVR2 941). Here's the problem:
I record my programs for the day. They show up of course in the Recordings section with all the nice program info that goes along with it. I don't like leaving my laptop on when I sleep so I turn it off and turn it back on during the morning. At the same time I also turn on my external hard drive. I go to the Recordings section in GBPVR and there are no recordings whatsoever. I know they're still physically there on my hard drive. So now my only option is to add my recordings directory to GBPVR's Video Library. This is pissing me off.
Anybody know what to do? Is the new release going to fix this problem in any way? I tried using Xrecord or whatever it's called but I don't really like it.
