I've setup an additional source as channel 255 using S-Video In. I'm able to get to in Live TV if I goto channel 100 and then go up 1 channel. I'm able to view what's comming in but my real prob is that I'd liketo Record what's comming in to vie later. The Live TV buffer splits the video files into 40MB chunks then recycles the 5th file. I was thinking of making that Inut Source have an EPG of XMLTV file to have it listed in TC Guide. However I dont know how to create one and I dont know if there is a better solution.
I'd appreciate any help on this. Thanks in advance.
I had to move my recordings to another driver and now they are no longer listed. It looks like the startup logic is validating the files and if they don't exist, it removes them(?) During the process of moving things around, I had to wait for a recording and after a final shuffling, that recording disappeared from the list. The files are there and I can get to them using the Video Library, but all the description info is gone.
It would be nice if the entry is simply marked as missing so that I can clean it up or otherwise take care of the problem (e.g., saving to a network drive that is taken offline occassionally). What I really want to be able to do is add this information back to the database so my recordings have nice descriptions (and it would be really nice if similar data could be added to the Video Library).
On certain channels I am not getting any sound. It isn't just GBPVR though, it happens on WinTV as well. Almost every channel has sound except a handful (about 5 or so). Works fine on my regular TV though. Any suggestions?
I am trying to determine the best method for remote control capabilities with the GB-PVR and MediaMVP to control a satelite receiver. Can anyone confirm wether the MyBlaster USB (IR Blaster) is compatible with the GB-PVR? I've read a few strings in the forum that mention some problems with MyBlaster, but the Chanel Changer setup has the option a MyBlaster IR plugin.
I downloaded and installed the latest GBPVR and I'm getting the 'Object Reference error' when I try to do Live TV on the pc. When I switch to the 350 output it pauses then goes back to the main screen. The same thing happens when I try live tv on the mvp. I've done a clean install, did a removal, deleted the GBPVR dir then rebooted, then did an install and configuation. Did this a few times. Also, I did a complete reinstall of the 350 and mvp drivers.
Does anyone know where I should start looking for the problem?
I have a Gigabyte Radeon 9250. While setting it up with multiple displays, I was able to set either the primary or secondary display to display "overlay" mode video. However, after I finished setting the system up and disconnected the VGA monitor, all overlay mode options became disabled...I cannot set any overlay options when the only display is the TV-Out display. Does anyone known how to enable overlay video when the only display is TV-Out?
The benefit of overlay is that it seems to bypass most of the graphics adapter processing and filters, resulting in an image much sharper and better saturated, very close to broadcast quality. (I find the non-overlay output to be much softer and desaturated, compared to the broadcast signal). Also, the overlay output does not seem to lose sync with the audio. If I'm watching Live TV in non-overlay mode, the video and audio quickly lose sync.
I have an ATI Theater 550 (VisionTek) installed on an XP/SP2 system with an AMD 2600+, 1.5GB of memory and a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS sound card.
I am hooked up to the S-Video input on the 550 Dongle. When I start up Live TV, it might run for a couple of minutes, maybe only seconds before it totally locks up the system and the sound is a high pitched screech.
I have searched the forum and moved the Buffer directory off of the C: drive, I have verified that I have plenty of virtual memory, in fact doubled it. I have tried to change many of the settings with no luck.The program that comes with the card will play Live TV with no problem, but the picture quality is not nearly as good as GB. I can also get Media Portal to work, but again, the picture quality and response time is not as good.
Thanks for any help provided.
Hopefully not too much of a newbie question, but is there a way to have an "Audo CD" main menu function similiar to the "DVD" menu function to allow playing music CD's through the GBPVR interface rather than using Windows Media Player? I tried all the available music-related GBPVR plugins but they seemed aimed at mp3's and not CD's.
I'm running GBPVR with a PVR150MCE and MediaMVP on a WindowsXP home system. The wife "must have" Closed Captioning on recorded shows so that we can watch them over the unruly children that we have. Can my configuration display CC? If not, are their any options (external software recorders, etc.) that can allow it? Is the MediaMVP the problem or the PVR150MCE?
I have gotten around this problem before with DVDs by encoding permanent subtitles. Is there a way to do something similar with an external software recorder and then just playing the file through GBPVR and MediaMVP?
