I have just gotten around to trying the .9107 and thus now the .9108 release and in the .9105 release I had posted that I was unable to click on the settings button on the DVD & Remote tab when I chose the USB-UIRT as my device. The button was greyed out.
in the release notes of .9107 this issue was addressed...sorta....the button is no longer greyed out, but when I click on it, it doesn't do anything.
This is after a full system reinstall...well....I have a image from ghost that includes everything I do up until I install GB-PVR (drivers, programs, misc software configs).
So....I'm not sure if this issue has really been fixed or not. Is anyone else having this issue on a full system re-install?
I've been using xrecord for a while and everything I've scheduled is working with the exception of one program. I'm trying to schedule 60 Minutes for 19-20:00 on Sunday night only but can't get it to do it. When I check the scheduler it shows but nothing ends up in the pending. The only way I can get it to work is to schedule it manually. Any ideas?
I'm the proud owner of a PVR350 based GBPVR system and the only major flaw in this otherwise excellent PVR box is the lack of the DVD playback through the 350. I know this topic has been raised before, and the response is always "can't be done". I just can't see why not. I know that DVD data is not exactly MPEG2 data, and that the PVR350's chip is an MPEG2 decoder but there must be some way round that.
As I understand it the DVD data is basically MPEG2 + DVD extra stuff (menus, multi-channel sound etc) + css region encoding, and the PVR can output both standard MPEG2 data (e.g. captured TV) and some sort of software overlay (e.g. GBPVR interface). We also have some external tools which will play DVDs to the standard output (i.e. decode DVD data fully to raw sound and video) and which can decode a DVD to disk as a standard MPEG2 file faster than real time.
This suggests two paths (in order of preference):
1.) DVD --> DVD to MPEG2 tool --> PVR350 MPEG 2 decode --> TV
2.) DVD --> External DVD decoder --> PVR350 as software overlay --> TV
I appreciate that both of these will require a little code work, but I'm happy to do that. It looks like it should just be a case of plugging together the existing tools, but I'm sure someone will explain why it's not as simple as I think.
Looking for a reliable HW monitoring app, pref freeware (but will probably pay), that isn't fancy.
I want one to just keep an eye on temps (MB, CPU, HD), and run a cmd (a powerdown bat I have) or shutdown if a threshold is reached. I have an always-on box, but there is no auto-shutdown for heat in bios.
I have HW Monitor now, but it turned back on a low-power option that was causing visual distortion, so I'm not trusting it anymore.
Not looking for something to cool, etc. Just want a fire marshall, basically.
My EPG is configured to update at 11AM EST --- no one would normally be using the TV at the time.
This morning the EPG update apparently ran at 11:00 EST and the system crashed about 11:10 to 11:12 or so. I'd guess this is about when the update would have ended. Now it will no longer boot to XP! When I got home this afternoon it was in a 'boot loop'; it boots, XP starts loading then it reboots, XP starts loading, it reboots, etc. It just keeps on doing this and will not even start in Safe Mode now. Running the boot log shows that the last thing it loads before crashing is MUP.SYS but I think other things are going on after this before the crash.
I'm fairly confident that it must be related to the EPG update as the system was just sitting idle --- no one was home at the time the problem started and the only thing that should have occurred at the time is the EPG update.
I'm reasonably confident I'm going to have to reinstall Windows XP and GB but I'm curious if anyone had ever seen this behavior before.
I just updated to GBPVR version 0.91.8 and everything seemed fine - maybe was the PC a little slower.
Now I installed My series plugins (pictures, music, video) and added music and pictures to the harddisk.
I configured and all seemed fine - so I restarted the PC to start testing music etc.
but now the PC is extremely slow.
I look at resource manager and the CPU is around 10% used.
But only 4MB of 512MB RAM is available and I have a "RAMdiskfile" (sorry don't know what it's called - in Swedish "växlingsfil") of 1-1,5GB !
Does anyone have a clue what is going on - and what I should do?
sub is it possible (i think you added this for codemonkey) to display a popup box anywhere in gbpvr at anytime? (eg when watch tv, or just browsing the menu). i want to start playing around with something and was hoping this was possible, if so can you give me the basic code to do this? if not any plans to support this?
cheers.
ps if its possible does the popup message get control of the keydown events?
