Hi all
I have an application that can be used in GB-PVR with
a PVR-150 IRBlaster that can change the channel on
an external Freeview box (provided it is supported by
IRBlaster that is).
I have a Nvidia Geforce FX5200 128Mb video card. I know it is not at hardware encoder, but will I get a better performance for motions with a better video card, and can someone recommend one (it does not have to be good for video games) ?
I have a P4 3.0 GHz and it only uses 5-8 % CPU.
Any chance of supporting dvb-c cards? I have a Technotrend Premium DVB-C 2300 OT I would love to see support for. I'd be happy to help test it and help in any way I could. It's quite a new card and not a lot of 3rd party support yet but it works in Showshifter if I start the Technotrend application and exit it again before I start SS (only have to do this once if the computer has been turned off). Showshifter uses BDA drivers I think...
I just realized that after updating to version 0.9 my computer is not waked up from standby mode in order to start scheduled recordings. It worked perfectly before the update.
Anybody else having this problem or suggestions how to fix it?
all of a sudden my TV Guide has stopped displaying anything. The search guide still works fine, so gbvr must be reading the XMLTV file, any ideas why the TV Guide is blank ?
This is another request that may already be in GBPVR but I thought I would ask (mine is recording right now so I do not want to get into the configuration and mess around because of the auto-reset on exit...which I saw someone else request a yes/no for and agree with that).
Is it possible (or could it be made possible) to have GBPVR read (and I supposed write to) mulitple paths?
Of course it would be great if it could measure available harddrive space and make decisions based on that about when to toggle from one place to another, but that may be a little much to ask. What I am getting at would be more of a dual-read kind of thing.
Currently my set-up includes a laptop which is nice and quiet in the livingroom and looks inconspicious with the lid down) but which has a sadly small harddrive. What I have been doing so far is to cut and paste the files GBPVR makes to another computer on a sluggish 802.11b wireless connection (I dump out files all the time it seems) and have to use other means to view the files (since GBPRV does not remember or reimport them I think?) (paste back the ones I want and play them with a different player, etc...) (to tell you the truth like most tivo people I talk to I record more than I think I will ever actually be able to watch).
I am considering adding an external harddrive enclosure and pulling out the 200 gig harddrive I am 802.1b-ing to and using that in the enclosure, but it occurs to me that even that will be finite as regards the GBPVR software itself, in that, being external, if I later decided to add another external and another 200 gig drive, it will become "E:" and sort of be "one or the other" instead of both as regards GBPVR.
(I realize my set-up is not optimal. I am really just looking at easy options right now.) I have been considering upgrading my wireless stuff to 802.11g and maybe mapping a big drive and having GBPVR use that...not sure how stabled/realistic that would be (but I could just append RAIDs in that case I think) ....just considering options.
Can someone explain to me how/when the weather info is updated? It seems as though I only get the weather information updated when I exit out and restart GBPVR.
This might already be a setting and I have not found it yet (being a gbpvr newbie) so if so I apologize in advance.
I notice that in the "Ready" recordings I see the name of the show and the date that it was recorded but I do not see the title or description unless I click a recording individually. I believe that it would be easier if these two things were switched in their placing, for if I could see the title in the list I could more quickly delete duplicates and so long as they are in chronological order I seldom care when exactly something was recorded (at least enough to need to see it at a glance).
Of course the "no repeats" option which I saw requested would negate a large part of this (wherein GBPVR could, optionally of course since many shows may have the same or no description for all episodes, examine the title and/or description line and compare it against available recordings...or maybe better an editable log of all recordings to date in case anyone watches or archives and deletes, and then does not record duplicates).
BTW, GBPVR shredds even without any minor suggestion I may make. I can understand the desire for someone like sub to want to write and share such a thing, but to open up forums for people to whine and complain about said (free) thing is something that I personally do not have in me.
