The one thing (the only thing) in the original MVP Software from Hauppauge I liked was the 0 to 9 keys. Pressing 4 on the remote would jump to start playing 40% through the file, pressing 7 would jump to 70% - you get the idea. pressing 0 would jump to start from the beginning.
Is this difficult to achieve with both XRecord and My Videos?
Been doing a bit of wishlist thinking so what about:
1. Configure which menu items are available on screen from the skin.xml
2. Ability to remove playlist entries from a playlist. The wish is for playlist editing.
3. Pause indication on screen (if pause works)
4. I've heard in other posts of "previous", "stop", "play" buttons on screen - how do I get these.
5. Some MP3s dont play since I upgraded to PVR 0.908. they seem to play (counter on screen and increasing) but no sound.
6. Do the pause, fastforward and rewind keys work?
PS: Had a play with CTPVR because of its ability to have a client PC but it doesnt support MVP (which I am having problems with) but couldn't get it to config right, thinks like my IR Blaster so i'm back to GBPVR. I keep trying other things but keep coming back to this - is that good or bad?
EDIT: Just used the original "Music Library" and the non working tracks don't work there either so this is not a My Music specific issue
I was cleaning up my basement computer area yesterday, and found a Creative DXR2 DVD decoder card. It is PCI with VGA in and out, plus digital audio out, and svideo out. http://www2.skolor.pedc.se/augustenborg/.../extra.htm
Is this of any use in GBPVR? It's specs are 100mhz Pentium needed for DVD playback. It is a hardware mpeg 1 and mpeg2 decoder. I assume I can use it in a machine to playback the mpg files that GBPVR made, but I haven't tried it out yet.
I also found a ATI RageII PCI card with TV out. I might stick that in a machine for playback/testing.
I have just been watching a recording, and for the first time while using GBPVR, the sound has stopped during the recording. It is present up to 1/2 way through then nothing!
Has anyone else had this problem? I don't think it was the transmission because they usually put up visual indicators saying "Sorry for the lack of sound etc"
Also has anyone had a problem with recordings not being listed in the "Recordings" list after they have been recorded?
Does anyone happen to know what kind of affect on performance I should expect if I disable my hard disk's write cache in device manager? I've been recommended to disable it by other software I run on the same machine as GB-PVR in order to reduce the chance of data corruption if there's a power cut. I do get a lot of power cuts and can't really put a UPS next to the TV (mom acceptance factor).
I'm using a WinTV PVR 350.
I plan on installing a Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-350 (Model 990) in my new system. To record a second channel, what would y'all recommend:
Hauppauge 1042 Wintv-pvr 150 Mce
-- or
Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-250 (Model 980)
I don't need to record FM. Obviously the 150 is cheaper. Any advantages to the 250?
Hi,
because upgrading to 0.9 does not work, is it possible to save the configuration for the videocapturecard (channels etc.) and reimport it into a clean install of gb-pvr?
I'm using the latest version of Nxtvepg 2.7.4 to get the XML program listings. According to the program description, the generated XML file is compatible with xmltv.dtd version 0.5.
As described in the title, with the resulting xml file I get only the names of the TV shows displayed, but no descriptions.
Jeff,
Thanks for the new version of VideoArchive (for 0.90). The plug-in is awesome - I really missed it for the few days since 0.908 came out...
One request though: I have already run out of space on my 300GB archive disk. Is there any chance to have several different disks specified for archiving, and the archive utility picking the one with most space?
Ore alternatively, would it be possible to have a utility to move recordings from the primary location to another disk, but retaining show descriptions etc.?
Thanks,
peter
