Just wondered if anyone could help me out with a little problem I'm having, as I'm fairly new to PVR and the MVP.
I have managed to install the MVP with no problems and running Hauppauge current software for it can play my movies on it, so far can play mpg, avi, divx, xvid.
However, I much prefer the GB-PVR but as yet cant get any avi to play, only mpg, Am I missing something??
I'm running the 0.9010 version of GB-PVR and when I log in I still get the MediaMVP server window. Closing it kills off a gbpvr.exe process, but it restarts itself without the window. Is this supposed to start, or is it something left over in the registry from an old version? Although is doesn't bother me, it does bother the wife ...
Also, when this window is closed, the MediaMVP disconnects and then reconnects when the new process is spawned. That's kind of annoying since people tend to login to the computer and use it when I'm watching shows or listening to music through the MVP.
It would be nice to have a _very_ simple WAP page to schedule a recording. Just a login page followed by a page where you are able to select a channel, and a start and stop date+time. Nothing fancy. The simpler the better (less bytes to transfer...)
For those times when you sit at the pub and suddenly remembers that you forgot to record something!
I have a Nova-T (90002), MVP(1004) and GB-PVR v0.90.10.
When viewing time-slipped programs on the PC I notice that a mpeg file is created in the LiveBuffer folder (as expected) - but I would expect it to be deleted (unless recording is indicated during viewing) and a new file created when the next program starts. This does not happen - the file just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Once the program boundary has been exceeded GB-PVR seems to crash a little more often. Also the files in the LiveBuffer folder tend to remain there once viewing has been completed.
Watching a program on the MVP always crashes the MVP on program boundary.
I would be happy to investigate/report further but I would like confirmation if it's just my system or not. If others with this hardware have similar issues then I will lnvestigate further. If it's just my system, it's my fault and I'll stop bugging people.
Would I be correct in thinking that the recording quality setting is ignored for digital capture sources - i.e. the broadcast stream is saved to disk directly without re-encoding.
I see references to the on screen keyboard everywhere but i cant figure out how to pull it up is there a keyboard function or is this soething that isnt implented? I am using a 350 hauppage remote.
I have been changing settings SOOO much and installing other bits and pieces (Intervideo WinDVD, Cyberlink PowerDVD etc) that I don't know what may have caused this but if I record to Microsoft Mpeg4 or DIVX I get REALLY nice picture quality - much better that poxy old on the fly MPEG2 but the audio doesn't play - If I play it in Media Player it attempts an audio codec download and fails and GSpot reports the Audio being PCM and no codec required but when I tell GSpot to render the streams is fails. I can still play back an MPEG4 captured program I captured previously fine so I'm at a loss?
