Sorry... I wasn't sure where to post this. Developers forum seemed a little more appropriate as I don't want to bother sub.
But I am hoping to be able to use the commercial cut list created by comskip in videoredo. I have seen that the newer version(s) of comskip support a videoredo cut list. Will this same cut list work for GBPVR or will I have to run comskip 2x(1x for compatibility with GBPVR ? and 1x for an output which supports videoredo?)
I am at the point where I have started playing with cutting the commercials out for the videos I want to archive and save on disk space. Seems a shame to have to rum comskip again.
but probably that was quite busy time - so I haven't got any answer at all. If anyone had any success with this device (it's listed as supported ! but so far I was unable to make it work with GB-PVR. Please see link above for full details and debug info.
I noticed that there is a 2.8 version of MDAC. I am currently using what I think is 2.6, which is pointed to by the GBPVR home page. Is there any reason to update, or not to update?
GBPVR uses Microsoft Access as it's default database. This is a very convient database to use as it can easily be distributed with the application. However, Access is known not to be the speediest of databases. Microsoft has a knowledge base article that may be of use to some of the more technically inclined for how to tune the Jet Database Engine and Access.
It does involve chaning Registry settings. So if you aren't comfortable editing the registry and are happy with your current performance, then you probably don't want to do the changes the article mentions.
I'm using a PVR-150 for recording. Some of my recordings from one specific channel have no sound. I think this is a tuning issue. I've tested the channel using WinTV2000 and found that fine tuning the channel up slightly that WinTV2000 gets the channel with sound. How do I fine tune the channel within GBPVR?
I would love to see some sort of integration with Audioscrobbler for music playback.
Audioscrobbler is a plugin for winamp, itunes, foobar2000, wmp, etc that logs all your played tracks to an online database and can provide recommendations based on your listening history. Heres my stats page - http://www.audioscrobbler.com/user/phuturetech
Another thing I would love is more complete net radio support - a lot of the stations I listen to are Real Player (especially the BBC) or WMP. Currently I use a plugin for the old MYHTPC software that uses Winamp to play the files back. Winamp then uses plugin called Tara to play back the Real files (with the help of Real Alternative or Real Player).
download: Shut Down v2.1
(note the zip is called shutdown2.0.zip, but its actually 2.1).
Added
- Displays a message box asking you if you are sure you want to shut down/restart the compture (incase you accidently hit ok on the wrong button, happened to me one time to often).
- Displays if a show is about to begin recording or if a show is being recored (seen in image above) in the message box.
enjoy.
note: media experience has also been updated to work with this new version.
I'm tying to setup a HTPC and I may have leaped before I looked. I set up a system that runs nicely as a computer but I am having some difficulty setting it up to display on my TV and be controllable from a remote.
I originally purchased a single ATI TV WONDER remote card before I realized that two cards were needed to watch one show and record another.
Ultimately i would Like to be able to watch (and timeshift) one show while recording another, as well as start some external programs (Web browser, DVD player), and schedual recordings, and view programs listings all from one remote and view all of it on a Television set.
Most other sites suggest a Hauppages WIN-PVR 150 remote and WIN-PVR MCE cards and using the GB-PVR software. My question is, with those two cards and this software, can i do what I want?
