I have just installed gbpvr on my new pc and all was good, but then the remote stopped working. I am using the 45 button remote that came with my 150. I did not install the win2k app because I wanted to use gbpvr, should I have installed it? What should my settings be on the blaster config and gbpvr config for this remote? tha erro I am getting is "failed to initialize infarred remote hardware"
This is not a GBPVR related issue, but i thought some of you know how to do video encoding and conversions. But i do burn most of my stuff on DVDs which is where i need help.
I often times give presentations where i like to include clips from shows or movies. I use xmpeg to extract the clip from a DVD, and then I clean it up using virtualdub. And i get an .avi clip that looks pretty good on my computer. I use the divx codecs when i do this.
What i've discovered though is that i can't take this clip and play it on another computer if they don't have the codec. Here's my question: Is there a way or a codec that is so standard that i can encode my files in so that when i transport files, i'm not stuck in the embarassing situation of audio but no video.
Hope this makes sense and hope someone knows how to help!
I made a post about this issue a few months ago when it first came up. Since then I've been able to do a few more tests. I've found that when I start watching a recording that is in progress, but do not finish it, the recording either stops or becomes corrupted. I thought it just involved recordings over 90 minutes, but I had it happen on a 30 min. sit-com. What happens is I schedule and start recording a show, and then about 15 minutes into the show I decide to start watching it. Something comes up and I don't finish watching the show (because I figure I can finish watching it later). When I go back to finish watching the show later I find that the end never recorded.
I'm watching the shows using the MVP. I was wondering if hitting the "Stop" button on the MVP remote was stopping the recording? The PC I'm using is an old P3, but it doesn't seem to have any problems with memory or speed.
I'm having an issue with my GeeBo PC's clock getting out of sync with my cable providers clock. Every few weeks I notice a big difference in the time difference between the two and I am forced to roll back the CPU clock. I've tried using the built in WinXP time synchronization feature but that seems to make things worse, usually offsetting the time but 5+ minutes. Has anyone had success with this?
Note: Yes, I use the padding feature but more than 1 minute on each end seems excessive to me, especially since I only have 1 tuner. Recording back to back shows on different channels is a PITA.
Not sure what is going on. A week ago or so I missed quite a few recordings after having an out of space error. The Failed messages didn't show up until after rebooting. So I thought everything was fine after that and related to the low disk space. However, it happened again where GBPVR stopped recording and there was no sign of a problem until afer rebooting the computer. Then it showed all the programs which had failed.
Has anyone else had this problem? I have had this computer up and running 24/7 since November and this is the 1st time I've had anything like this happen.
I can post the logs if you wish. Let me know which log you need to see to help.
I am having a problem where when I play certain MP3s in gbpvr there is a popping noise that sounds like poporn popping that goes with the beat of the music. But it does not occur with all MP3s. It does not happen when I am playing the same MP3s in Winamp or other programs, only in gbpvr.
My setup for consists of My Music playing to a Soundblaster Live card with a headphone -> RCA jack connection to my Yamaha receiver which then is hooked to my Boston speakers. I just installed all of the latest drivers for the soundcard and that did nothing. I figure that it must be a bad decoder or something, but have no clue what to do about it.
Any suggestions on how to correct it?
Some people have discovered that when you create the Womble mpeg-vcr clip file with convert2wme.bat and you move the recordings to a new location the .wme file can not be used.
This is because the .wme file has the full path names of the clips stored in the file.
This is actually not needed.
If you make the .wme file without the full path to the clip you can move the .wme together with the .mpg to any directory and mpeg-vcr will read the clip list and be able to find the clips because it assumes them to be in the same directory as the clip list.
All locations that have %~dpn?.mpg should be changed to %~n?.mpg
As an example
echo CLIP: %~dpn1.mpg >>x.wme
should become
echo CLIP: %~n1.mpg >>x.wme
