Just started an .avi (xvid) movie from inside GB-PVR, seemes to work fine.
But I would like to switch to a different audio track, is that possible through some keyboard (remote) buttons? Likewise, is there any keyboard shortcuts for switching sub titles?
Here's what I'm noticing; While in Live-TV, I get a 2-3 second stutter every 3-5 minutes. This stutter seems to correspond to the file creations in the Live TV Buffer directory. Looking like so:
TV-1-120050801_2228 - 42MB
TV-1-120050801_2229 - 41MB
TV-1-120050801_2230 - 42MB
When I quit the GBPVR program, these individual files are combined into a single large file. Everything else works fine. I haven't found the right combination of settings to alleviate this every 2-3 minute stutter. I read another post that referred to the downgrade of DirectX from 9.0c to 9.0b. This didn't work either. I have tried both the nvidia codec and the native hauppauge codec's in separate fresh installations with the same results.
If I missed one of the other archive posts, please forgive. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Here's what hardware I have:
P4 1.5 GHz - 512MB RAM
PVR 350 using TV Out
Windows XP Pro
Latest PVR Drivers (as of 8-1-2005)
Soundblaster Live 5.1
Congifured as follows To allow testing without disrupting the families' current setup, i'm using the auxillary COAX "Out to TV" of the satellite receiver and another 19" TV.
COAX out of a satellite receiver into the PVR350
audio out of the PVR350 into the line in of the SB Live 5.1
Composite out of the PVR 350 to the Television
**Works like a champ, sans this stutter...**
Here's what settings I have in GBPVR:
<Capture Source Tab>
- Recording Source => Direct Recording Plugin
+ Capture Card Type => PVR 350
- EPG Source => Zap2it (working ok)
<Playback Tab>
- Hardware Decoder Device => Hauppague PVR 350
- Software MPEG2 Playback
+ Video Decoder => Intervideo NonCSS Video Decoder
+ Audio Decoder => Intervideo NonCSS Audio Decoder
+ Audio Renderer => SB Live! Wave Device
- Live TV preplay delay =>500 ms
I upgraded the hardware for my PVR (Sempron 3000), and I'm slowing getting the enironment up and running (and stable), but I'm having a problem on the MVP side of things.
Gbpvr is recording, and the desktop client works fine (shows a full hour recording and allows me to skip forward a minute) but the MVP overlay only shows a 1 second recording, although it will continue to play just fine, but when I do a skip (60 seconds ahead) I just get a black screen. I'm not sure whats wrong. I hope someone knows the issue so I can get back to normal and stop fussing with this machine.
Here is what seems like the most important part of my log:

I am having a tough time getting my Cyberlink remote to work with my GB-PVR. Not all of the numeric keys work even after attemted programming :eek: ! I am using the ATI 550 Pro card.
Could I use rename recordings to manually rename a file and keep all of GBPVR's data about it intact? I rename all of Star Trek, and Star trek Next Generation with the episode sequence number, so I can sort them to make DVDs easier. Using RenameRecordings helps a TON with that, but once I add the "### - " to the beginning of each episode, they are obviously deleted from GBPVR's database.
The only work around I can think of is to copy the file to the desired name, so they are both there, then manually edit the database with the new file name. It should work, but doesn't sound like fun.... Or I could edit the episode name in the database's schedule before it records, but I guess I would have to catch it that day.
Hi, I think I must be having a bad day because i cant seem to get this working at all! I have a Hauppage Nova-T Digital TV card which I cant get to work with the software. When I open the tuning settings whichever card type I select it simply says "Failed to find the crossbar filter"
Help... before I go insane....
Thank you
Chris
I currently use a Compaq Deskpro SFF (small form factor) desktop machine. This machine is very cute, with a relatively small and quite case.
Here are the current specs of the machine:
- Pentium III 866 Mhz
- 512 MB RAM (Maxed out)
- 15 GB hard drive
- Three PCI slots
- Integrated VGA, sound, ethernet, etc...
I am getting a new computer this fall, and rather than sell this machine (best case: $120), thought I should invest a couple of hundred dollars and create a PVR. I am very intrigued with GBPVR (Thank you! looks like a great software).
I am thinking of doing the following upgrades:
- 200 GB Hard drive ($60)
- PVR-150 (comes with Remote, IR blaster and IR sensor) ($75)
- PCI Video card with TV Out (Probably an older ATI) ($30)
- Crossover ethernet cable to network with my new pc ($10)
- DVD Burner ($50)
So for a bit over $200, I am building this PVR. What you think? Did I forget anything?
I think it's the extra files generated by comskip (the bat, wme, etc), but when you delete a show--and it's the only/last one--you're stuck w/ the directory now. I know it's not a space issue, but it's looking like a teenager's room in the recording directory now.
Any chance of someone w/ the talent/means to make a postepg plugin/util that would find folders w/o mpg files and remove them?
